Why is cotton the best type of fabric for making underwear?

Cotton is the most important discovery in our lives. It is an essential ingredient in the manufacture of many basic items in our daily lives, such as filters, materials for filling and lining home furniture, hats, wax wicks, soap, hats, carpets, and is most prominent in the textile industries.




The use of cotton in textile industries dates back to about 5000 BC. Today it is mainly grown in India, China, Egypt, Peru and Brazil. Its cultivation requires great effort and attention, in addition to the availability of fertile soil, a warm climate, and good irrigation in order to produce high-quality cotton threads.



Perhaps the most prominent uses of cotton fabric are the textile industries, especially the manufacture of underwear, shorts and summer shirts. There are many types of cotton fabrics that are used for this purpose, including poplin cotton (soft and durable), and denim (which are jeans themselves, famous for their high hardness and durability). Organic cotton, muslin (a light and soft fabric used mainly in the manufacture of summer clothes), and finally flannel (thick and warm used in the manufacture of winter clothes), are all famous types of cotton fabrics that are common in the textile industries.


But when it comes to underwear, comfort is essential. In addition, such sensitive areas of the body require special care and attention, as some chemicals and certain types of fabrics can cause irritation or infections that are difficult to treat and very annoying.



Cotton's many features make it an ideal fabric for making underwear:


It absorbs moisture well, reduces sweating and keeps the skin dry, especially in the summer

It provides proper ventilation for the area, allowing air to enter, making you less susceptible to bacteria and infection

Great softness and comfort, gentle and does not cause discomfort when in contact with the skin

Durability, especially if it is made of high-quality original cotton, as the piece maintains its original shape even after washing it several times

Easy to design and dye

In addition to being a fabric that is widely manufactured worldwide, it is easy to obtain, and its price is somewhat acceptable compared to other fabrics



As historical records mention that the Pharaohs were the first to make and wear underwear, Egyptian cotton to this day has a global reputation for being the best in making these clothes. In addition to the luxurious Syrian cotton, which is one of the important agricultural crops in Syria and has an international reputation for its high quality.
