For women, bras are no longer just clothes, but the second layer of skin. Nowadays, more and more fashionable bra, erotic bra, and personalized bra are occupying the market, making women who love beauty love them. However, as the closest clothing to the skin, when purchasing bras, in addition to valuing the style and appearance, special attention should be paid to the fabric quality of the bra. The quality of the fabric directly affects the wearing comfort of the bra, Even some inferior fabrics can cause certain harm to the body.
The Hazards Of Inferior Fabrics
1. Fabrics with excessive chemical content
The inferior fabric of bras often contains a large amount of chemical components, which not only makes them uncomfortable to wear, but also damages the skin, causing various discomfort. Long term contact with the skin can cause dermatitis, eczema, and even damage the human liver.
2. Fabric with poor breathability
The inspection results of the Quality Supervision Bureau indicate that many bra materials do not match the labeled values, with the cotton content being significantly lower than the labeled value. The cotton content is an important factor determining the comfort of wearing women's bra.
Wearing low-quality fabric bras with poor breathability can cause discomfort such as itching and red bumps. Sisters must consider the air permeability when choosing bras. Especially in summer or after sports, when the human body sweats, the humidity increases, the microorganisms will multiply in large numbers, and the microorganisms will also decay and ferment, thus producing some substances that stimulate the skin, which will lead to skin diseases such as rashes and prickly heat.
Comfortable Bra Fabric
There are two types of fabrics for bras: natural fabrics and synthetic fabrics. However, due to the various limitations of natural fabrics, bra is mainly made of synthetic fiber fabrics, mainly including cotton, silk, stretcher fabric and smooth stretcher, modal, lycra, mercerized cotton, colored cotton, and so on. Each kind of fabric has its own characteristics and style to express. Is it true that many sisters only know about cotton and modal fabrics, while there are many other fabrics in life? Come to understand their characteristics and whether they are suitable for you.
1. Pure cotton
Cotton has a comfortable texture, natural and non irritating texture, wicks sweat, prevents odor leakage, and is soft and elastic, making it an ideal fabric for bra. It is generally used as a bra lining, making it healthy, comfortable, breathable and moisture absorbing, and has a good skin friendly feeling. The essential lining of the Dream Butterfly bra in Linxi Dream is made of cotton, which is skin friendly and breathable, providing excellent comfort.
2. Silk
Silk is one of the top natural fabrics in the world, with a soft and delicate feel, comfortable to wear, elegant, and good drapability. Its breathability and moisture absorption are strong, making it a suitable bra material for wearing all seasons. However, due to the lack of elasticity of silk fabric, it is not possible to make bras. Therefore, the silk fabric on bras is generally knitted fabric made of silk fibers.
3. Pull frame cloth
Pull frame fabric is an elastic fabric that combines cotton and elastic fibers, with high elasticity and good breathability. The bra uses Lycra fiber together with the stretcher cloth, which has low deformation rate and good tensile recovery rate, achieving the effect of wearing more than one size, solving the embarrassment of big breasted sisters' cups changing from big to small. It is the best choice for big breasted sisters to consider the bra.
4. Modal
Modal should be familiar to everyone. It is a fiber spun from natural wood or other materials, which has good breathability and moisture absorption, as well as soft, breathable, and delicate characteristics. It is extremely comfortable to wear, not easy to fade, and can be quickly dried and washed for a long time without changing shape. It is a relatively economical and healthy fabric. This type of fabric is commonly used as the main material for bra, with a moisture absorption capacity 50% higher than cotton. It is a high-quality fabric for close fitting clothing, with no sensation, comfort, and zero pressure. Many men who wear this type of fabric do not want to switch to anything else.
5. Leica
Lycra is a high-quality spandex, and the bra uses Lycra as the main material. It has a beautiful appearance and is not prone to yellowing, making it very comfortable to wear close to the body. The extension of Lycra can reach 5-7 times. And it can completely restore its original state, with very little binding force on people, and can be used with any fabric, with extraordinary resilience. When used on bra, it is full of elasticity, and the upper body effect is more comfortable and beautiful.
Types Of Bra Pads For Bra Cups
The material of bra can directly affect the comfort of the wearer. Therefore, the quality of the material can directly determine the quality of the bra. The selection of materials should be paid more attention, as it not only affects the comfort of wearing. More commonly, it poses a threat to the health of the chest. In terms of bra cups and bras, the common materials nowadays are sponge, 3D upright cotton, and memory cotton.
1. Sponge chest pad
Sponge is a common material in bra bras, with good moisture absorption and breathability. It generally acts on the inner side of the cup, but over time, it can be observed that the moisture dissipation will decrease. And if worn for a long time, the sponge material will turn yellow. It is easy to breed some bacteria in it, which affects the health of the chest.
Sponge material bra is very common in the market, and when selecting it, one should pay attention to whether the sponge is pure white. If there is some yellowing, it indicates that it has been over a period of time, and may even be used. It is necessary to pay attention to this from the perspective of color.
Also, it should be noted that bra made of sponge material. Replace every 3-5 months to avoid bacterial growth in bra. Because bra sponges that are worn and used for a long time will inevitably adsorb various residual detergents, it is necessary to replace the bra in a timely manner.
2. 3D upright cotton chest pad
3D upright cotton is also a common material in bra bras, with an upright mesh structure or honeycomb like mesh structure, similar to a sponge like three-dimensional structure, which is different from the parallel mesh structure of traditional non-woven materials. Due to its unique physical structure, 3D cotton has unparalleled advantages compared to many sponges and other common fiber materials. Not prone to yellowing, does not produce toxic substances, and has superior properties such as high rebound compared to sponge materials.
Due to the stability of 3D upright cotton, it will not deform due to time. So when choosing, it is important to pay special attention to the degree of fit with one's own chest, as if the choice is not suitable, it will always make the chest uncomfortable, and even cause compression and deformation of the chest.
So when choosing bra, in addition to choosing the appropriate size for oneself, it is also important to pay attention to the cup shape of the bra cup. Common types include full cup, half cup, three-quarter cup, and triangular cup. You should choose the appropriate cup style based on your own chest shape.
3. Memory cotton chest pad
Memory foam is a new type of material which is very hot in recent years. It is called "memory cotton" because it has good elasticity. Even if it is artificially distorted and subjected to long-term compression, it can quickly recover to its original shape, as if it has memory. Due to its good elasticity and impact resistance, it is widely used in bra pads.
Not only can it provide us with a comfortable touch when wearing it close to our body, but it also plays a health care role in caring for our breasts. Even wearing it during sleep will not harm our breasts. So now many sleep bra or health bra generally use memory cotton chest pads.
When selecting memory cotton bra, it is important to note whether the bra has steel rings. Memory cotton bra with steel rims has a relatively lower compression force on the chest, while those without steel rims will have a higher compression force. However, due to the high softness of the memory cotton itself, the difference in pressure is not significant. You can choose the one that suits you according to your own situation.
