The best fabric for underwear depends on what you want from it: certified-organic cotton is absorbent and hard-wearing for everyday, TENCEL Modal drapes silky-light, and TENCEL Lyocell regulates moisture especially well when you move. In this guide we sort the key materials by use case, so you know which fabric fits when.

Modal is a cellulose fibre made from beech wood that drapes silky and, according to Lenzing, absorbs moisture better than cotton. We only use TENCEL™ Modal from Lenzing: FSC- and PEFC-certified beech, Eco Clean processing. In the guide: production, properties, comparison with cotton and lyocell, care.
