Common Mistakes to Avoid

Ignoring fabric composition for skin sensitivity

Assuming all mediums are the same

Not checking for tags that irritate

Skipping elastic recovery tests

Size & Fit Notes

Waist measurement is the only reliable sizing metric for underwear. Hip measurement matters for boxer briefs. Do not rely on generic S/M/L—always check the CM waistband measurement and compare to a comfortable pair you already own.

Risk Warnings

Synthetic-heavy blends may trap heat
Waistbands can lose elasticity over time
Dye transfer is common with dark colors in first washes

Frequently Asked — Underwear/Underpants

What fabric composition is best for daily underwear?
95% cotton with 5% elastane offers the best balance of breathability and stretch. Pure cotton lacks recovery and sags. High synthetic blends trap moisture. Modal and micro-modal are premium alternatives with silk-like feel.
How do I check waistband quality in QC?
Request a photo showing the waistband stretched to its full width, then relaxed. Good elastic recovers immediately. Also check the stitching attachment—the waistband should be cleanly sewn, not glued or loosely attached.
