Stance Socks POLYESTER VS COTTON UNDERWEAR | Page 3

Cotton
Cotton is the most loved fabric, and there is no second thought about it. It is also the
commonly used fabric for making of inner wear, as it is a natural fiber and suits the
active lifestyle of many. The breathable fabric also has hypoallergenic properties and
keeps away sweat or irritation in sensitive areas. If you want to wear something
comfortable during workouts or training, cotton underwear is the best to choose. The
breathable fabric also taps the bacteria and even keeps the skin dry in the most
sensitive area.
But, cotton also has a couple of drawbacks. If you are planning to use underwear made
of pure cotton, you need to be aware that it does not offer stretching at all. This can be a
problem if you move a lot.
The best solution to this is to buy underwear that is a blend of cotton and lycra as it is
stretchable and also has all the properties of cotton fabric. You can be assured of
comfort and stretch ability.
