Is Nylon/Elastane Fabric Good for Underwear?
When it comes to workout underwear, you want comfort, performance, and fabrics that keep you feeling fresh throughout the day. You’ve probably wondered whether nylon/elastane fabrics are the right choice for something as intimate as underwear.
Let's look at why we chose this high-performance fabric to make our Squaties, and why it should be your new go-to for active days. Spoiler alert: Your everyday cotton might not be cutting it for your workouts!
- Lightweight and Breathable
One concern with synthetic fabrics like nylon is breathability, but here’s where the blend of elastane comes to the rescue. The lightweight nature of the nylon/elastane fabric allows for breathability, ensuring you don’t feel overheated or restricted.
Plus our 100% cotton gusset provides extra breathability and freshness where it matters most.
- Cotton Gusset for Hygiene and Comfort
While our nylon/elastane blend has tons of benefits, we know that when it comes to underwear, the gusset area is extra important. That’s why we’ve sewn in a 100% cotton gusset - offering breathability and moisture control where it counts the most. Cotton is a natural fibre that helps maintain comfort and hygiene, ensuring you stay fresh all day.
So, you get the best of both worlds: the high-performance stretch of nylon/ elastane and the natural breathability of cotton.
- Moisture-Wicking Magic: Keeping You Cool and Dry
One of the biggest advantages of nylon is its moisture-wicking properties. During intense workouts, sweat is inevitable, but you don’t want to feel damp and uncomfortable down there. Nylon wicks away moisture, pulling it to the fabric’s surface where it can evaporate quickly. The result? You stay dryer and comfier, even during the sweatiest of gym sessions.
This is a game-changer compared to cotton, which tends to hold onto moisture, leaving you feeling sticky and uncomfortable.
- The Stretch Factor: Moves with You
Squaties high-performance blend of nylon and elastane is a combination that offers superior stretch and recovery. When you’re squatting, running, or flowing through yoga, you need underwear that moves with you, not against you.
Unlike cotton, which can lose shape over time, nylon/elastane hugs your body and snaps back after every wear. No sagging, no stretching out - just a perfect fit every time. Plus, our fabric stays in place, meaning you can kiss those workout wedgies goodbye! 😉
- Durability: Built to Last
Nylon is known for being durable and resistant to wear and tear, making it perfect for activewear. Whether you’re wearing your Squaties daily or during intense workouts, you can trust that they’ll hold up without pilling, shrinking, or losing shape. No matter how many lunges, squats, or sprints you put them through, these babies can take it!
- Smooth Silhouette: No More Visible Lines
Let's be honest, nobody likes visible undie lines! Especially when you’re in your smooth workout tights. Our seamless design, combined with the silky-smooth fabric, ensures that Squaties are invisible under your clothing. You get a smooth, flawless silhouette - like you’re wearing nothing at all!
- Quick-Drying
After a workout, the last thing you want is soggy underwear. Nylon is a quick-drying fabric, which means you’ll feel fresher faster post-workout. Plus, they’re super easy to wash and dry, so you can get back to your active routine in no time. Also great when you are travelling or on holiday!
