Common Underwear Fabrics: Cotton, Polyester, Nylon, Spandex, Silk

Underwear materials balance comfort, durability, and function:

• Cotton – Natural, breathable, absorbent, soft; best for daily wear.
• Polyester – Synthetic, wrinkle-resistant, quick-dry, durable; often blended.
• Nylon – Strong, elastic, moisture-wicking; common in activewear.
• Spandex (Elastane) – Highly stretchy; blended for fit and shape retention.
• Silk – Luxurious, smooth, temperature-regulating; delicate care needed.

Others include modal, bamboo, wool. Choice depends on activity, sensitivity, and preference.
