Comprehensive Analysis of Underwear Materials! Read This Before Ordering OEM Customization

Underwear is a must-have for women, and with changing preferences these days, the competition among lingerie brands is getting tougher. To make your mark in the crowded lingerie market, you need to put extra thought and creativity into your designs. Today, let’s dive into some key tips about underwear materials. Getting to know different fabrics will help you create the perfect, bestselling lingerie!
 

Is the selection of underwear materials important?

Underwear is an essential daily garment for women, so finding a comfortable bra is crucial! In addition to choosing the correct size, the selection of underwear materials is also crucial for comfort. Whether the underwear feels soft and comfortable on the skin, allowing consumers to forget about its presence as if they weren't wearing it at all, often depends largely on the material. In the humid and hot weather of Taiwan, the moisture-wicking and breathable properties of underwear materials are important considerations for consumers. With our years of experience in OEM underwear manufacturing, we understand that besides eye-catching designs, paying attention to the selection of materials is essential for enhancing sales and ensuring that the final product becomes a highly competitive item in the market!
 

What are some common fabrics used in lingerie?

• Cotton:

  The most common material used for underwear on the market is cotton fabric. Its advantages include good moisture absorption and breathability, softness against the skin, and high warmth retention. Cotton is also relatively easy to dye, allowing for a variety of colorful styles. However, its disadvantages include poor elasticity, susceptibility to wrinkling, and less durability. After a few washes, fading and deformation may occur, making it not our top recommended choice for underwear material.

• Nylon:

  Nylon fiber is a synthetic material known for its durability and strength. It is resistant to abrasion but may feel rougher against the skin compared to other materials. Nylon is less heat and light resistant, so prolonged exposure to sunlight may cause yellowing and aging over time. Its major advantage is its affordability, making it a common choice for underwear on the market and offering good value for money.

•  TACTEL:

  TACTEL is another commonly used material for making underwear, produced by the American company DuPont. It is a type of nylon fiber often used in close-fitting clothing like underwear, sportswear, and yoga attire. TACTEL is known for its softness, strong breathability, lightweight and elastic properties, easy maintenance, resistance to wrinkling, and color retention. However, its main drawback is its relatively high price, which makes it more commonly used in high-end clothing. It can be considered the "Hermès" of underwear materials due to its numerous advantages.
   

  What are the different types of padding materials used in lingerie?

  We’ve talked about the fabric of the whole garment, now let’s discuss the materials used for padding. Asian women often pay special attention to body curves, and padding is a little secret for creating a perfect shape. Choosing the right padding material can enhance your bust shape and make it look fuller visually! Common types of lingerie padding include foam, silicone, and inflatable pads. Each has its own pros and cons: foam is ideal for sports bras due to its lightweight and soft properties; silicone mimics the feel of real skin, offering better support and elasticity, but can be heavier, so size design needs to be careful; inflatable pads are great for smaller busts as they allow you to adjust the thickness by pressing, and are a popular choice for brides!

  What materials are used in NuBra?

  Invisible lingerie, like the well-known NuBra, is essential for special occasions such as wearing evening gowns or for important life events like weddings. It helps concentrate and lift the bust while remaining completely invisible under clothing. There are two common materials used in invisible lingerie: one is silicone, which offers great comfort but has lower breathability. Its snug fit makes it the most common choice for invisible lingerie. The other is fabric-based, typically made from polyester fibers. This type is lightweight and breathable, providing a firmer appearance with less weight. Different materials will offer different effects, so it’s more efficient to choose the right material by targeting your consumer base and discussing options with the manufacturer!
