ABOUT INTIMATES
At Lenzing, we understand that in the world of intimate apparel, comfort and responsible material choices are important considerations for both brands and consumers. That’s why we proudly offer regenerated cellulosic fibers designed to meet the diverse needs of the intimate wear market.
From underwear and bras to boxers and briefs, our fiber portfolio provides the foundation for fabrics that combine natural softness and inherent moisture controlling properties.
Benefits
How intimates benefit from Lenzing fibers
Natural softness
Our TENCEL™ and LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers give intimate apparel a natural softness, making it feel pleasant against the skin.¹’⁷
Long-lasting softness
TENCEL™ Modal fibers’ cross-section and tenacity favor fabric softness, allowing them to withstand repeated washing and drying cycles.²
Effective moisture control
The structure of cellulosic fibers allows the absorption and release of moisture. In the final fabric, these moisture controlling properties support a drier microclimate on the skin.³
Unfavorable to odor-causing bacteria
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers absorb sweat efficiently, resulting in reduced moisture on the fiber surface. This creates a less favorable environment for the growth of odor-causing bacteria.⁴
