With so many kinds of clothes, underwear is our “closest partner”! When we discuss the comfort of underwear, we usually talk about whether the steel ring is tight, whether the shoulder straps will slide down, and whether the bottom is tight or not, but we rarely discuss the fabric.
In fact, choosing healthy and qualified underwear fabrics and adopting correct cleaning and maintenance methods are also important knowledge~

Today , Xian Ni’er will introduce to you the underwear fabrics that are “skin-friendly” to us.
Common fabrics for cup linings
1. Cotton
I believe that everyone is familiar with the excellent properties of cotton fabrics. In addition to being moisture-wicking and highly comfortable, , cotton fabric has no irritation in contact with skin, safe and healthy. Pure cotton is generally used on the inside of bra cups. One disadvantage is that it does not dissipate moisture well, so it is not suitable to wear pure cotton underwear when doing sports in winter.
2. Ultra-fine fabric
You may be unfamiliar with this term, but in fact it is a general term for fabrics with a delicate structure. These fabrics have a delicate and smooth structure, good elasticity, good wrinkle resistance, shape retention and wear resistance.
3. Modal
A very popular underwear fabric in recent years, it is softer, more delicate and more hygroscopic than cotton. It is elastic and is mostly used in the production of underwear. Modal underwear is comfortable to wear and very popular with consumers.
Common fabrics on the side and back
1. Nylon and spandex
Nylon fabrics are known for their excellent wear resistance and good moisture absorption. , elasticity and elastic recovery are both strong.
Same as nylon, spandex is also very elastic. At the same time, spandex also has high hygroscopicity, maintaining good comfort; it is not easy to wrinkle and maintains its original shape.
2. Jonestin
Jonesdine is a two-way elastic fabric with less pressure, soft and delicate texture, comfortable and stylish to wear, bright color and outstanding resilience. .
Common fabrics for shoulder straps
Nylon
Shoulder straps are generally required to be strong and not easily deformed, and these two fabrics have this characteristic.
As mentioned at the beginning of the article, substandard underwear fabrics and incorrect cleaning and maintenance methods can lead to the occurrence of breast diseases, so we must also learn the correct cleaning and maintenance methods.
How to clean underwear correctly
Because the fabric of underwear is relatively soft and delicate, it is recommended to use special detergent and wash it in warm or cold water below 30 degrees.
The inside of the cup should be cleaned by “making fists and pressing”, and rubbing the particularly dirty areas with your hands (lace/embroidery cannot be cleaned by rubbing each other).
The back of the underwear buckle can temporarily serve as a brush, or you can prepare a soft small toothbrush and just brush lightly.
If your underwear can be machine washed, it is also best to use a special cleaning bag for underwear. It is recommended that before cleaning, apply special stain remover for underwear to the dirty parts and soak it for a while.
