to wear them.
Polyester
Polyester
is a synthetic fiber that doesn’t wrinkle. Today’s polyester isn’t the
same cheap nasty fabric of the 60’s and 70’s. New manufacturing and
weaves have created material. It lasts longer and much more durable than
before.
Also gone are the boring pastel colors. Polyester can be
produced in bright vibrant colors and doesn’t fade. Polyester fabric
stretches, does not wrinkle, and provides that feeling of being encased
without extreme sweating.
Many times it’s combined with other
fabrics to add durability and structure. Thanks to new weaving patterns
interlocking polyester with other fabrics. Read the label and feel the
material. Get to know how polyester can provide that special night with
a new twist.
Spandex
Spandex
is a synthetic fiber made from polyurethane, sometimes called Elastane.
It’s elastic, durable, lightweight and resistant to moisture. Almost 60
years old, Spandex has seen a major evolution in the fabric. Created to
replace the use of rubber in underwear for women... Spandex became the
rage once Olivia put them on in Grease.
Spandex provides
little support for men by itself. Spandex is often combined with other
fabrics. Offering the support people need and body hugging fabric every
gay man loves. It’s breathable, draws moisture from the skin, and very
form fitting.
Polyester spandex blends are used in compression
shorts, swimwear. And let's not forget about underwear that puts on a
show. Polyester spandex blend fabric is great for running, biking, and
working out. Or just showing off in meggings.
Modal
Modal
is a rayon crafted from beech trees. It's similar in texture to silk or
cotton. But it's less likely to fade or shrink. Most companies combine
it with spandex. Creating one of the best fabrics for everyday
underwear.
Modal

that don't run or fade. What you'll really notice most about this
fabric... it's oh so soft on your skin.
Modal absorbs 50% more moisture than cotton and won't pill from friction. But it doesn't trap moisture and odors like cotton.
This
is a luxury fabric that's comfortable to wear all day. It offers
moderate support and lots of movement. Modal is not the first choice for
a heavy work out such as biking, running, or cross fit. It's the
perfect choice for daily activities and avoiding swamp crotch.
Nylon
Nylon
material has been around for nearly 100 years, developed as an
alternative to silk. It’s a synthetic fabric made from petroleum. Nylon
can be made thinner than other fabrics. Making it useful for all types
of underwear designs.
During heavy workouts, nylon alone will
keep your skin and crotch dry. It just won’t last as long as other
materials. It’s also prone to snags, pilling and tears. So it’s commonly
combined with cotton to help it last longer. Nylon cotton blends
provides a higher level of comfort and more breathability too.
Nylon
is an okay choice for everyday underwear. But it’s a great choice for
special occasions or for putting on a show. Mostly because the lower
durability. You’ll get more daily mileage out of other fabrics.
