Underwear clings to the skin and is known as the female "second skin." High-quality underwear fabric to the skin is gentle care, inferior fabrics are heavy burdens and injuries, so the choice of fabrics is particularly important.

Below for everyone to popularize the knowledge of underwear fabrics. Underwear fabrics are basically divided into two categories: natural fabrics and synthetic fabrics. Natural fabrics are divided into plant fiber (cotton, hemp and other natural fibers) fabrics and animal fiber fabrics, animal fiber fabrics are divided into hair (wool, rabbit hair, etc.) fabrics and secretions (mulberry silk, tussah silk, etc.). Natural fibers are basically used in the close parts of underwear. Due to the limitations of natural fibers themselves, underwear now uses synthetic fiber fabrics (polyester, nylon, spandex).

Four common underwear fabrics are described below.

Cotton Sweat absorption, breathable, strong warmth, easy to dye and print. In recent years, manufacturers like to blend cotton and all kinds of fibers. The addition of chemical fibers to cotton, suitable for adjusting underwear, not only breathable, but also has the effect of support. But cotton is easy to fade, susceptible to mildew and silverfish infringement. After water, the size of cotton shrinks or becomes larger, the tensile elasticity is poor and easy to wrinkle. Sweat acid also makes the strength of cotton reduced, the phenomenon of yellowing. Cotton is prone to fatigue deformation, absorption of sweat after not easy to evaporate. Because of these objective disadvantages, cotton can not be used in the ultrasonic process of underwear, only nylon and spandex.


  Silk Tactile, good material, can not afford static electricity, but also sweat, breathable. The only drawback is that it is not easy to clean, washing must be very gentle with the hand scrubbing or dry cleaning. Velvet is elegant and luxurious, with a natural sense of smoothness. With French lace or Swiss embroidery and velvet decorative collocation, can achieve a very gorgeous effect.


  Lycra Leica is a high quality spandex, which is a registered trademark of high quality elastic fibers developed by the former DuPont company in the United States. Leica stretches up to 4-7 times and can fully respond to the original, with little binding force on people. Leica can be used with any fabric, but cannot be woven into fabric alone. Because Leica's own characteristics are elastic, comfortable and with a bearing force, it makes the fabric has extraordinary resilience, used in underwear, not only make underwear full of elasticity, more intimate, upper body effect more comfortable and beautiful, not easy to go awry, not easy to appear folds, etc., but also has a fine and smooth texture.


  Modal Modell is a fiber made from the spinning of natural wood or other materials, which can be recycled because of the fiber itself and the materials used in the production process. It is a new era of environmental protection products, also known as recycled cellulose fiber. It has breathability and moisture absorption, its soft, refreshing, delicate characteristics, so that the fabric smooth as silk, wearing extremely comfortable, many times washing is not easy to fade. But easy to pilling, conformal and wear resistance is poor, and has a strong flammability.


  Nylon Nylon name polyamide, which is often said in life nylon fiber. Nylon is the nylon material pulled into a very thin fiber, and then woven. Depending on the nylon material, nylon 6 and nylon 66 are common. The elasticity and elastic recovery of nylon fabrics are excellent. Its abrasion resistance ranks first in all kinds of fabrics, many times higher than other fiber fabrics of its kind, so durability is excellent. And nylon fabric moisture absorption in synthetic fiber fabric is a better variety, so the use of nylon clothing is very comfortable to wear.
