At this time, the underwear will stick to the body, and the underwear is uncomfortable to wear. The key is to look at the fabric. If the underwear fabric is not selected correctly, it will not only be embarrassing to be soaked in sweat, but also easy to breed bacteria.

At present, the main fabrics of underwear on the market are cotton, modal, recycled fiber, Lycra, and bamboo fiber. However, as consumers have more functional pursuits for underwear, the fabric of underwear is also constantly innovating. Hemp fiber underwear has appeared, which is made of natural antibacterial and antibacterial hemp fiber. So what are the characteristics of the underwear made of different fabrics above? What kind of underwear is more suitable for summer? This article takes you through a variety of fabrics, from cotton to mesh, and discovers our hottest picks for a cool summer.

1. Cotton underwear

The classic cotton underwear may seem like a throwback to some. With a whole assortment of modern fabrics, cotton has an old-school charm. Still, there’s no comparison to this plant-based textile. It’s been around for thousands of years, and if you haven’t embraced the cooling powers of cotton, this might be the summer to try it.

Why cotton underwear? Consider the following:

Hypoallergenic qualities– We never know how our skin will react to an underwear fabric, but with cotton, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. If you have sensitive skin, this fabric is highly unlikely to cause any allergic reactions. That means no itching, no rashes, and no uncomfortable bumps. Organic cotton fabric is also suitable for vaginal health as it's breathable and absorbent, which can help you be less prone to yeast infections.

Comfort– While it's not the softest fabric, it's up there in terms of texture. Additionally, cotton just feels good on the skin. As a simple, plant-derived material, wearers often appreciate the all-natural sensation of cotton.

Breezy– It’s the top concern for the summer, and there’s no question about it—cotton lets your skin breathe. Where other fabrics may trap heat, moisture, and odor, cotton lets everything out.

Notably, cotton has other benefits—not just for you, but for the planet as well. Cotton can help contribute to a smaller carbon footprint, minimize waste in textile production, and contribute to recycling efforts to keep our planet clean.

2. Modal underwear

The essence of modal is the fiber extracted by dissolving beech wood, which is thinner than cotton fiber and has better uniformity. Moreover, modal fabric has a softer touch, good moisture absorption, and is not easy to wrinkle. Generally speaking, underwear made of modal fabric is better than cotton in terms of comfort and wrapping, and it is not easy to loosen.

Absorbency– With the ability to absorb 50% more moisture than cotton, modal has proven itself as a quality synthetic fabric for high-endurance activities, from workouts to long walks on the beach. There’s nothing more uncomfortable than wet underwear, and with modal, that worry is out the window.

Eco-friendly– Making modal fibers doesn’t have to put another burden on nature. This fabric has slowly come to replace synthetic fabrics like viscose and rayon because of its eco-friendly nature.

Cost-effective– While generally more expensive than cotton and less expensive than silk, modal provides a mid-range and highly cost-effective fabric. For those who value breathability, comfort, and quality, modal may be the ideal choice.

Micro modal, a finer kind of semi-synthetic fiber, makes the perfect fabric for moisture wicking underwear. Its tighter weave results in a softer and better-fitting material. You see micro modal used in athletic wear and workout underwear.

3. Bamboo fiber underwear

Bamboo fiber is also a popular underwear fabric in recent years. Bamboo fiber has good hygroscopicity and certain antibacterial function. However, bamboo fiber is very easy to fade and is not wear-resistant. Although it is comfortable to wear, its service life is relatively short.

4. Polyester underwear

Polyester underwear is a synthetic fiber. The more common ice silk underwear we use is mostly polyester. The advantage of polyester underwear is that it has higher strength and is stronger and more durable than ordinary underwear. It is suitable for various sports scenes, but because of the high fiber strength, it will feel tight and less comfortable when worn.

5. Nylon Mesh Underwear

For decades, nylon mesh synthetic fiber has been the go-to fabric for athletic activity. Its resistance and breathability were unmatched by other traditional fabrics, and mesh is becoming the go-to material for easy, breezy undergarments. Nylon mesh is the best fabric for breathable underwear. In fact, our air underwear line is made of a Nylon Mesh and Spandex blend.

With nylon mesh, you can look forward to big benefits, including:

A more breathable weave– Mesh is all about breathability. Mesh garments are designed and weaved with small holes, providing consistent airflow. So if you’re looking for the best breathable boxers for summer, get the underwear made with nylon mesh blend.

Wrinkle-free– From the drier to your drawer, there’s no worry about wrinkling. Additionally, nylon mesh can keep its shape, making it a resilient fabric even after several washes.

Light and airy– With a pair of mesh underwear, you might feel like you’re not wearing anything at all. Maintain a light and airy feel throughout the day, and never worry about getting weighed down with sweat.

6. Hemp fiber underwear

As a rising star, hemp fiber products have shined in recent years, because the hemp fiber has powerful functions and has dual antibacterial properties of CBD. With its porous fiber structure, it can destroy the growth environment of anaerobic bacteria and effectively inhibit Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans. At the same time, hemp fiber has three times the hygroscopicity of cotton and ten times the air permeability of cotton. Hemp fiber is also the softest kind of hemp fiber, and its comfort is not inferior to cotton.

To sum up, hemp fiber underwear is definitely the most suitable underwear for summer. The strong moisture absorption and breathability can bid farewell to the hot and humid summer. In the summer when bacteria multiply vigorously, hemp fiber can effectively destroy the living environment suitable for bacteria, thereby controlling the growth of bacteria. If you want a healthy and comfortable wearing experience, hemp fiber underwear is worth a try!
