This is why cotton underwear is best.

When it comes to underwear, comfort should always come first.
Synthetic fabrics may be tempting with their smooth look and bold colors, but there's a good reason why cotton has stood the test of time. It's not just grandma's choice, it is the smartest choice for your skin, your health, and your overall comfort.
Cotton allows the skin to breathe
Cotton is a natural fiber that allows air to circulate around the skin. This breathability helps regulate body temperature and keeps you stay cool and dry. Synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon, and spandex tend to trap heat and moisture, creating a hot, clammy environment, especially uncomfortable down there.
Absorbs moisture instead of holding it in
Cotton can absorb up to 27 times its own weight in water. That is not just a fun fact, it is essential for good hygiene. Sweat, natural discharge and other moisture is drawn away from the skin, reducing the risk of irritation, odour and infections like yeast or bacterial vaginosis.
Synthetic fibers? Not quite the same. Most of them repel water or allow it to remain on the skin, increasing discomfort and the risk of skin problems.
Gentle for sensitive skin
Cotton is naturally soft and gentle, making it ideal for sensitive skin. Synthetic materials, especially those treated with dyes or chemicals can cause skin reactions or aggravate conditions like eczema. With our OEKO-TEX certified cotton, you can be confident that the fabric is free of harmful chemicals.
Breathability is more important than you think
Let's be honest, your vagina needs ventilation. Poor air circulation, which synthetic fabrics often contribute to, can lead to overheating and moisture imbalance. This creates ideal conditions for bacteria and fungus to grow.
An environmentally friendly bonus
While it's not directly about comfort, it's worth mentioning: cotton, is biodegradable and far more environmentally friendly than synthetic alternatives, which are petroleum-based and contribute to microplastic pollution.
Conclusion:
When choosing underwear, ditch the hype around "high-tech" fabrics. Choose breathable, soft, and absorbent cotton. Your body will thank you.
