Most of the men don’t think about the material of the underwear while buying it. This is because men will only consider how comfortable the underwear is while wearing it. Although men have a variety of choices when it comes to the material of underwear.
On the other hand, the feel and wearing conditions of each fabric type will indicate when to wear and when not to wear a specific fabric type of underwear. So, if your underwear isn’t comfortable then you should try different fabrics.
Moreover, custom printed underwear are also available in these fabrics that are mentioned below.
-
Cotton
Cotton is the most common type of material that is used in garments including underwear because it is soft, absorbent and inexpensive.
Cotton is great material for underwear and there are times when cotton excels, so you can wear it almost every day. The only time when you can switch to other materials is when you are exercising. Cotton is an absorbent material and will absorb your sweat which will feel uncomfortable while exercising.
-
Modal
Modal fabric is also used in clothing and everyday household items. It is a semi-synthetic cellulose fiber which is a type rayon. It is usually made by spinning cellulose that is been reconstituted from trees.
Modal is not as great as cotton or nylon but offers enough support and comfort to be worn in anything from a suit to jeans. Modal is also universal, means you can literally wear it anywhere and won’t have to worry about the lack of support causing discomfort.
-
Nylon
Nylon is a fabric that does not absorb water and its construction makes it great material that is soft and keeps the wearer dry. It is also great in retaining color, so you won’t have to worry about the fabric fading over time.
Nylon underwear is a great option while going to the gym or for all-around use. The only problem with the nylon material is that it will produce wet spots when worn in hot climate conditions.
-
Polyester
Polyester is a fabric that is artificially made in laboratories. This thin and comfortable fabric holds color much better than cotton. While the thickness level of the polyester material can be half that of cotton or other fabric types.
As mentioned above, polyester is light and thin which makes it a great choice for tight-fitting jeans. Moreover, polyester is also easy to wash and dry but the only problem with it is that it does not have high absorption power.
-
Rayon
Rayon is usually made of cellulose or wood pulp which has a tendency to stretch. Although the feel of rayon is like cashmere.
As the material stretches easily, rayon material does not make the best underwear for men but you can wear it during a night out or for a short span of time. However, it is soft and comfortable but it’s not the best to wear for all-day use.
