Cotton

Frequently Asked Questions

• Why is cotton underwear better?

  Cotton underwear has a number of benefits including excellent breathability and moisture-wicking properties. This makes it an extremely hygienic choice of material and most high-quality underwear, even if made from other materials, will often feature a cotton gusset for this reason. Cotton is also kind on skin and is therefore a great option for long journeys.

• What does cotton underwear look like?

  Cotton underwear is relatively modest, as it lacks the intricate details of lace alternatives. Pure cotton underwear is also less form-fitting than stretchy synthetic materials, meaning that it can offer a fractionally looser fit if not sized accurately. Cotton underwear is available in an incredibly broad range of colors and styles, and is often embellished with feminine detailing to combine natural practicality with aesthetic appeal.

• How do I shrink cotton underwear?

  Cotton underwear may shrink when exposed to extremely high temperatures for a prolonged period of time, but this is extremely inadvisable. Cotton is more resistant to shrinking than synthetic alternatives and any attempt is far more likely to result in damage to your garment. Instead, invest in replacement underwear and ensure an accurate, snug fit so that your cotton panties are comfortable and do not sag.

• What is the best cotton underwear?

  The best cotton underwear offers a comfortable fit and premium-quality materials. As such, choose a style of pure cotton panties that suits your needs. Cotton works well for high-coverage panties such as boy shorts or French briefs where you will feel the benefits of the material against your body. As such, always review the composition of your panties to find the best possible quality and choose the style that’s right for your lifestyle and body type.

• How do I care for cotton clothes?

  Cotton is a durable and strong fabric and cotton clothes can therefore be laundered in more robust ways than synthetic alternatives. Always check care labels for specific instructions to extend the life of your cotton garments. To care for cotton clothes, wash them in cold or warm water using a gentle detergent. Avoid overloading the machine to prevent wrinkles. Air-dry or tumble-dry on low heat to maintain softness and prevent shrinking. Iron on medium heat if needed and avoid harsh bleach to protect fibers.
