Cotton material has countless advantages that make it an excellent choice for lingerie design. Are cotton bras better than other material bras? Read on to find out about the benefits of the material and how to care for it.

Cotton is a natural material that comes from plant matter. In the underwear industry, cotton fibres are the most suitable choice for soft, breathable, moisture-wicking, long-lasting, longer-fresh and easy-care underwear. Other naturally derived materials such as silk, linen, or wool are more difficult to care for and have a more delicate texture. Cotton fibres are processed into yarn and have a helical structure, which makes cotton durable enough to serve as a part of regularly used clothing.

Some advantages of the material:

Suitable for warm days

Cotton underwear is particularly suitable for the warm season of the year because the cellulose in its fibres draws heat away from the body, creating a breathable, cooling sensation - meaning cotton is cooler than most other materials. 

Provides comfort feeling

The cotton material is very soft and gentle, providing a feeling of comfort throughout the day. It is also a good choice for people with sensitive skin or allergies, as cotton is less likely to cause skin irritation. Cotton underwear is also recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women to avoid irritating sensitive skin.


Moisture wicking

One of the main advantages of cotton is its ability to absorb moisture. Cotton underwear will help wick away sweat, keeping you feeling fresh and comfortable.

Material sustainability

As mentioned above, cotton fibres are strong, durable, and flexible, so they are less prone to wear and tear. Cotton underwear will show signs of wear more slowly and will not lose its shape and softness after countless washes.

Variety of material styles 

Cotton underwear can offer a versatility of styles and designs to suit different women's needs and tastes. Cotton underwear is most often chosen by women for their everyday needs. To avoid cotton underwear appearing boring and monotonous, lace or embroidery is added to make the underwear more feminine and romantic. The Rosme range includes both plain cotton bras and bras with lace details or embroidery.


Care for cotton underwear

Although cotton is a rewarding material for making and washing underwear, it is important to remember that more often than not, bras or panties are not made exclusively from cotton. Underwear also has to incorporate underwires, elastic, shoulder straps, padding, and other important details, so extra attention should be paid to the care instructions to ensure that the product is not damaged during washing.

From unbeatable comfort to breathability and sustainability, cotton underwear has the proven benefits of being a popular choice in the underwear world. The material's benefits satisfy consumers who are aware of both the comfort and sustainability qualities needed to replace various fashion alternatives.
