Open your closet every day, are you always worried about “what underwear to wear today”? Either the style does not match the outfit, or it is uncomfortable after wearing it for a long time, or it is deformed and loose after a few washes. As an “intimate partner” that accompanies women in their daily lives, a suitable underwear set can not only improve comfort, but also shape the body and enhance self-confidence. Today, we will take you to find the underwear that understands you best from the six core dimensions of style, function, and material.

1. Style design: Wearing the right style is more important than following the trend

The style of the underwear suit directly determines the dressing scene and personal style, and blindly following the trend of Internet celebrity models often step on the thunder. Sister Li, who has been engaged in underwear shopping for 5 years, shared: “There was a customer who followed the trend and bought a super popular see-through underwear set, only to find that his breast shape could not support it, so he could only be idle. When choosing a style, you must combine your breast shape and dressing needs. ”

2. Functional scenes: make underwear suitable for every life you have

The functional attributes of underwear are far more important than appearance, and different scenarios require corresponding “exclusive underwear”. Ms. Wang, who had just finished maternity leave, had a deep experience: “I bought an ordinary sleeping underwear set during pregnancy, and during lactation, I had serious milk leakage and rubbed my skin, and I knew how fragrant it was after changing to a nursing underwear set.” ”
We have sorted out the key points of underwear selection for high-frequency scenarios to help you accurately match your needs:
  • Daily comfort: Give preference to non-marking underwear sets, modal or cotton materials are the best, and there will be no oppression if worn for an average of 8 hours a day.
  • Special occasions: choose bridal underwear sets for weddings, pay attention to matching the wedding dress neckline; Choose from a sexy lingerie set or a red lingerie set for a date to enhance the atmosphere.
  • Sports scenes: Choose low-intensity yoga underwear sets for light sports such as yoga, and sports bra sets with good shockproof effects for high-intensity sports such as running to reduce chest damage.
  • Special period: during pregnancy and lactation, choose a pregnancy and breastfeeding dual-purpose underwear set, the cup shape is adjustable and convenient for breastfeeding; When the chest is swollen and painful during menstruation, the ultra-thin cup underwear set can reduce compression.

3. Material and fabric: Touch determines comfort, and health is more important

Underwear fabrics come into direct contact with the skin, and their breathability, moisture absorption, and safety are crucial. According to underwear industry reports, 70% of chest skin problems are related to improper underwear fabrics, especially people with sensitive skin need to be cautious.
Fabric type:
Comfort
Breathability
Suitable for the scene
Cotton underwear set
★★★★★
★★★★☆
Everyday, sensitive skin, adolescence
Silk lingerie set
★★★★★
★★★☆☆
Sleep, light luxury wear
Modal lingerie set
★★★★☆
★★★★☆
Daily, commuting
Ice silk lingerie set
★★★★☆
★★★★★
Summer, sultry environment
Antibacterial fabric underwear set
★★★☆☆
★★★★☆
Menstruation, exercise, travel
When purchasing, pay attention to the fabric ingredient list, organic cotton underwear sets are safer than ordinary cotton and have no chemical residues; The antibacterial effect of bamboo fiber underwear sets is better than that of ordinary fabrics, and it is suitable for people in humid areas. Avoid buying products with thick fabrics or pungent odors, as this type of underwear is often poorly breathable and can easily cause skin discomfort.

4. Color pattern: the invisible “plus” of matching

The color and pattern of underwear are not only a reflection of personal preference, but also an “invisible detail” of the outfit. Proper matching can avoid embarrassment and quietly enhance temperament.
Basic colors are always a bad choice: black underwear suits are suitable for dark clothing, slimming and versatile; A white underwear suit is more suitable with a light-colored shirt or wedding dress, but be careful to choose a thicker cup shape to avoid translucent color; Nude underwear sets are “universal” and will not be obtrusive with clothes of any color, especially for thin clothes in summer.
Patterned models can show personality: leopard print underwear sets have a sexy aura and are suitable for matching solid color jackets; The embroidered lingerie set is exquisite and elegant, and it is not embarrassing even if it shows a corner; Festive models such as Christmas limited underwear sets can not only satisfy the sense of ceremony, but also be a good gift choice.

5. Size tolerance: Every body should be gently adapted

“Not being able to buy the right size” is a problem for many women, especially those with large or small breasts. Professional underwear consultants emphasize: “The size of underwear is not fixed, and the version of different brands may vary greatly, so be sure to measure the upper and lower bust circumference before purchasing.” ”
Purchasing suggestions for different body types:
  • Plus/plump type: Choose a plus-size underwear set or a full-size underwear set, giving priority to widening the shoulder straps and extending the back hook design to enhance support and avoid accessory breast problems.
  • Small breastsSmall-breasted exclusive underwear sets mostly adopt three-dimensional cup-shaped designs, which can naturally gather together and avoid empty cups; Don’t choose a sponge cup that is too thick, it will look unnatural.
  • Special needs: adolescent girls choose adolescent girls’ underwear sets, the fabric is mainly pure cotton, and the cup shape is loose and not oppressive; People with special figures can consider custom size underwear sets, although the price is slightly higher, but the comfort far exceeds that of ready-to-wear.
Remember a practical formula: cup size = upper bust – lower bust, the difference of 10cm is A cup, 12.5cm is B cup, 15cm is C cup, and so on. Maintain an upright position while measuring, and the results are more accurate.

6. Purchase decisions: plant grass rationally and avoid consumption traps

In the face of the temptation of live streaming and celebrities with the same style, how to rationally buy underwear sets? Brother Zhang, who is engaged in procurement, shared: “Many Internet celebrities sacrifice comfort for the sake of visual effects, and the choice of underwear should still be based on their own needs, and do not be misled by marketing gimmicks.” ”
These buying tips can help you step on thunder less:
  • Cost-effective choicecost-effective underwear sets are not necessarily low-priced products, but have a high comprehensive score of “fabric + fit + comfort”; The underwear set on the praise list can be used as a reference, but pay attention to identifying false reviews.
  • Quality assuranceLight luxury brand underwear sets are more guaranteed in terms of fabric and craftsmanship, suitable for people with sufficient budget; The gift box underwear set is a good gift choice, with exquisite packaging and a sense of ceremony.
  • Key points to avoid pitfalls: When purchasing, give priority to stores that support returnable underwear sets, because the comfort of underwear needs to be tried on to judge; Overseas underwear sets should pay attention to size conversion to avoid misfit due to differences in Chinese and foreign versions.

Professional perspective of purchasing consultant Yigu

As a Sourcing Agent who has been deeply involved in the field of underwear procurement for 8 years, I have found that the core competitiveness of high-quality underwear sets lies in the details: whether the fabric has an authoritative test report, whether the stitching is flat, and whether the underwire (if any) is smooth and angular. From a procurement perspective, antibacterial fabric underwear sets and seamless underwear sets are the hot-selling categories in recent years, with demand growth of more than 30% per year. It is recommended that you pay attention to the brand’s quality control system when purchasing, such as whether it has its own production plant and whether it has been tested for multiple washes, these details directly determine the service life and safety of underwear. Don’t blindly pursue imported brands, the craftsmanship and cost performance of many domestic brands have far exceeded similar imported products.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
