Which is more suitable for underwear, bamboo fiber fabric or pure cotton fabric?
Many people confuse bamboo fiber with bamboo charcoal fiber, but these are actually two different fabric manufacturing processes. Bamboo fibers have a significant loss of natural properties during processing, but bamboo charcoal fibers do not, and can fully maintain their natural properties; Deodorization adsorption. The special ultra-fine micro structure inside the bamboo fiber makes it have strong adsorption capacity, which can eliminate undesirable odors; Bamboo charcoal fiber has a strong natural antibacterial property, with an antibacterial rate of 63.2%. Its moisture absorption and breathability are far superior to pure cotton products, and it is more smooth than pure cotton products, especially with a longer wearing time. There are various types of bamboo charcoal fibers, among which the bamboo charcoal fiber made from southern bamboo (also known as "southern bamboo") has the best effect, with its antibacterial performance three times that of ordinary bamboo charcoal fibers, and its moisture absorption and air permeability five times that of pure cotton.
What are the characteristics of pure cotton, bamboo fiber, and modal? Which is better? Pants are usually made of pure cotton, modal, bamboo fiber, chemical fiber fabrics, etc. Bamboo fiber is a cellulose fiber extracted from naturally grown bamboo. The fifth largest natural fiber after cotton, hemp, wool, and silk benefits from the characteristics of the raw material bamboo. Bamboo fiber underwear has strong water absorption, moisture absorption, moisture release, and air permeability, and has its own antibacterial ability. However, it is relatively vulnerable to damage. There are fewer real bamboo fiber underwear on the market, and the price is relatively high.
First of all, chemical fiber fabrics are too far from pure natural to discuss, so only natural fibers, such as pure cotton and Modal, are recommended. Bamboo fibers are known as the second skin of the human body. Although pure cotton has good water absorption, it is also easy to nourish bacteria. Due to its porous structure, bamboo fiber has good moisture absorption and air permeability. Moreover, bamboo fibers have antibacterial and antibacterial properties compared to pure cotton and wood fibers. Bamboo fiber also has a high environmental value, as it has a fast growth cycle and can be used sustainably compared to wood and cotton.
The disadvantage of bamboo fiber is that the advantages of the product are easily weakened. For example, it has moisture absorption and dehumidification functions, UV resistance functions, and health care functions that contain vitamins. It is recommended to replace it in about two months, and the price of bamboo fiber is slightly higher.
Modal fabric, moderately priced, originally made of wood fiber. It is a fabric suitable for making underwear. Compared to the moisture absorption ability of pure cotton, the dilution ability of modal fabric is superior, and the price is also cheaper than bamboo fiber. Finally, pure cotton is widely used, with good moisture absorption effect, no irritation to the skin, and affordable. But because it has good moisturizing properties. Therefore, it is easy to nourish bacteria, and frequent replacement is recommended.
Moisture absorption and breathability. The cross section of bamboo fibers is filled with large and small oval pores, which can instantly absorb and evaporate a large amount of water. Fibers known by industry experts as "breathable" have the highest moisture absorption and breathability among major textiles; Reduce static electricity. Bamboo fiber is not easy to generate static electricity, which can give the skin the most smooth and comfortable feeling; Soft and comfortable. The bamboo fiber unit has a fine fineness, a soft feel, similar to silk and satin, good whiteness, bright colors, and a strong tenacity. It has a unique resilience, making it soft and smooth like velvet. However, bamboo fiber also has its disadvantages: 100% bamboo fiber products are prone to breakage and poor wet strength. Clothing made of bamboo fiber is prone to deformation, and like other natural fibers, it is prone to fuzzing or pilling. In this regard, there are many intertextile products that relatively overcome this disadvantage. Another point is that due to the high cost of bamboo fiber, the price is relatively higher than that of cotton products. In summary, I think underwear is a close fitting garment, and it is better to choose bamboo fiber. Although cotton is also a pure natural product, and it is relatively soft and comfortable, it has other advantages such as anti moisture absorption, breathability, antibacterial, and bacteriostatic properties of bamboo fiber.
