Shantou Artwear Underwear Factory

Classified by "style structure": differentiated based on the pattern and details of the underwear, affecting its support and adaptability

1. Classified by cup size: determines chest coverage and support range

• Full cup size: covering the entire chest, providing the strongest support and wrapping around the accessory breasts. Suitable for women with full, sagging, or expanding breasts, it is suitable for both daily use and shaping scenarios.

• 3/4 cup size: Covering 3/4 of the chest area, it has a good gathering effect and can enhance chest shape. It is suitable for most chest shapes and is the mainstream style of daily commuting underwear. It is also suitable for pairing with V-neck and round neck tops.

• 1/2 cup (half cup): Covering 1/2 of the chest area, it has a prominent gathering effect and is suitable for women with small breasts or those who pursue a deep V-chest shape. It is often paired with low neck and deep V-neck outfits and has a low frequency of daily wear.

• Triangle cup: The cup has a triangular shape and is designed without a steel ring, providing high comfort but weak support. It is suitable for women with small breasts (A/B cup) who pursue a natural chest shape, and is often used as a sleep bra or summer thin underwear.

2. Divided by shoulder strap design: affects fixation and fit

• Conventional shoulder strap: Moderate width (1-2cm), adjustable length, good fixation, is the default design of most underwear, suitable for various daily outerwear.

• Wide shoulder strap: With a width exceeding 2cm, the shoulder strap has a large load-bearing area, which can reduce shoulder pressure and provide stronger fixation. It is commonly found in sports underwear and shaping underwear, and is suitable for people with full breasts or those who need high-strength support.

• Cross shoulder straps: The shoulder straps are designed to cross at the back, providing good fixation and reducing the risk of slipping during exercise. They are commonly used as sports or aesthetic underwear, and can also be paired with backless clothing to enhance the design sense.

• Strapless: With a strapless design, it is suitable for strapless, straight shoulder, and off shoulder outfits. Some parts have anti slip rubber strips or invisible hooks to prevent slipping, and the support is weak. It is not recommended for people with full breasts to wear it for a long time.

3. Classified by the presence or absence of steel rings: affecting comfort and support

• Underwear with steel rims: containing metal or plastic steel rims, strong support, can stabilize chest shape, prevent sagging, suitable for women with full breasts (C cup and above) or shaping needs, but some people may feel restrained when wearing it, so it is necessary to choose the appropriate size.

• Underwear without a steel ring: Designed without a steel ring, it provides high comfort and a sense of freedom. It is suitable for wearing small breasts (A/B cups), pursuing daily comfort, or sleeping. It has weak support and should be carefully chosen for people with full breasts who exercise or wear it for a long time.

Classified by "fabric material": affects wearing comfort, breathability, and durability

1. Natural fabric: featuring "breathable+skin friendly", suitable for daily use and sensitive skin

• Pure cotton: the most common natural fabric, soft and skin friendly, with good breathability and strong moisture absorption, suitable for sensitive skin, daily commuting, and sleeping wear. However, its elasticity is poor, and long-term wear may cause slight deformation. When washing, attention should be paid to avoiding shrinkage.

• Modal: Made of wood pulp fibers, it feels softer and smoother than pure cotton, has good elasticity, better moisture absorption and breathability than pure cotton, is not easily deformed, suitable for daily and sleep underwear, and has a high cost performance ratio. It is one of the mainstream underwear fabrics in recent years.

• Silk (mulberry silk): a high-end natural fabric with a smooth and delicate touch, excellent breathability and moisture absorption, and containing natural protein. It is skin friendly, but expensive, prone to snagging and deformation, and requires hand washing and care. It is mostly used as a high-end underwear or sleep underwear fabric.

2. Synthetic fabric: focusing on "elasticity+durability", suitable for sports and shaping scenes

• Nylon: Good elasticity, strong wear resistance, not easily deformed, often blended with other fabrics (such as nylon+spandex) to enhance the elasticity and durability of underwear. It is commonly used in sports underwear and shaping underwear, with average breathability and needs to be used with breathable fabrics.

• Spandex: With excellent elasticity, it can stretch to 5-8 times its original length and has good recovery. Almost all underwear will add spandex (usually 5% -20%) to enhance its elasticity and fit. It is rarely used alone and is mostly used as a blended fabric.

• Polyester fiber (polyester): It has strong wear resistance, is not easy to pill, is easy to clean, and dries quickly. It is commonly used in sports underwear and can quickly sweat out, but its breathability and moisture absorption are poor. Pure polyester fiber fabric is not suitable for long-term daily wear, and a blended version (such as polyester fiber+cotton) should be chosen.

3. Blended fabric: Taking into account the advantages of multiple fabrics, it is currently the mainstream choice for underwear

• Cotton+spandex: retains the skin friendly and breathable properties of pure cotton while increasing elasticity, avoiding the problem of easy deformation of pure cotton. It is suitable for daily commuting underwear and sleep underwear, with high cost-effectiveness and suitable for most people.

• Modal+Nylon: Combining the softness of modal with the durability of nylon, it has stronger elasticity and durability, and good breathability. It is commonly used in mid to high end daily underwear and light sports underwear.

• Silk+spandex: On the basis of the silky and skin friendly properties of silk, it increases elasticity, improves the fit of underwear, and reduces the problem of silk deformation. It is mostly used as a high-end underwear fabric, with a higher price and suitable for those who pursue quality.
