Part Three: Soft Materials

Following on from part 2 on breathable, natural fibers, part 3 is all about the softness of the materials used in underwear construction

Let’s face it; underwear spends its time rubbing against some of the most sensitive areas of your body for at least 10-15 hours a day. Any material that itches, scratches or rubs at your skin is going to cause all sorts of problems, irritations and annoyances.

A rough, course or heavy material will give you nothing but trouble and should be cast away in favor of softer, sleeker, natural materials such as Modal or Cotton as discussed in part 2. These materials are extremely soft on the skin and are least likely to cause discomfort

Another thing to consider is that we tend to spend large amount of our time each day sitting down. This means that the back of your underwear is pulled tight while the bend in your legs causes the front of the underwear to crease and become bunched. Wearing underwear that is made from a soft, light-weight material will ensure that any fabric that does end up bunched in your leg crease will not be bulky enough to cause any dramas.

The softness of the material used in the Obviously for Men range is one of the things our customers really love. The Modal material used in all Obviously underwear products is marketed by its developers, Lenzing, as the softest fiber in the world and an integral ingredient in designing the world’s most comfortable underwear.

Part Two: Breathable, Natural Fibers

There was a brief (no pun intended) moment in time when synthetic underwear such as nylon, polyester and rayon were in, thankfully not any more.

So why breathable, natural fibers; primarily to reduce heat build up in your pants.

While there’s still some debate over the exact impact of heat build up on fertility, links have been found between elevated testicle temperature and reduced sperm count, and DNA damage. So why take the risk?

There are a number of materials out there that provide for a more comfortable, breathable underwear experience. For maximum comfort there really is only one way to ensure that your underwear is breathable and that is to go with natural fibers.

Cotton is the most common natural fiber used in underwear manufacture and has been for a a while. Another increasingly popular natural fiber is Modal. Modal is a fabric derived from beech trees and is an excellent conductor of heat, drawing it away from the body. Underwear manufactured from either of these natural fibers, will always be more breathable than synthetic counterparts, adding to the overall comforts of the underwear.

The Obviously for Men range is made from Modal material to ensure a breathable, natural environment is created in your underpants. So when choosing your next pair of underwear, if you have comfort in mind, make sure you choose a pair that is made from natural, breathable fibers.
