Delicate comfort: the ideal fabrics for sensitive skin

Taking care of our skin does not only mean applying a body cream or avoiding long exposures to the sun, but also using the right fabrics, so as to reduce the risk of irritation, redness or discomfort. It is essential, in these cases, to focus on quality products that can last over time. In this article, we will try, therefore, to provide a detailed guide on finding the most suitable fabrics for sensitive skin.

What are the best fabrics for sensitive skin?

For sensitive skin, it is recommended to use natural and breathable fabrics , such as cotton, bamboo, linen, silk, modal (a fiber derived from wood), hemp or alpaca . Each of these fabrics has certain properties that make it light and delicate on the skin .

From cotton to silk: breathability and softness

Cotton and silk are highly appreciated in the clothing field for the sensation of comfort they release on the skin. Specifically, cotton is particularly known for its softness and the freshness it releases when in contact with the body, it does not irritate and does not risk causing discomfort to those who are particularly sensitive. Thanks to its high breathability and absorbency, it is also perfect for underwear and nightwear , such as women's briefs in pure mercerised cotton that guarantee comfort with every movement throughout the day, releasing excess moisture and keeping the skin dry. Or the pure cotton nightgown , enriched with precious buttons on the front that make it a sophisticated and elegant garment. The perfect meeting between style and refinement .

Silk is synonymous with luxury and softness : with its silky surface it glides on the skin offering a unique sensation of comfort. Also very light and breathable , silk is delicate on the body, perfect especially for nightwear or underwear . An example is the Boglietti pure silk nightgown, light, soft and minimal , perfect under any garment. Not like cotton, silk is also capable of managing excessive moisture, keeping the skin dry. Both of these fabrics are great choices for sensitive skin, but they vary in appearance, softness, and sophistication. In this case, deciding whether to go with cotton or silk depends on both personal preference and occasion.

What does “Hypoallergenic” mean in fabrics?

The term hypoallergenic refers to a substance that has a minimal probability of causing allergic reactions . In the case of fabrics, these materials reduce the risk of dermatitis and skin reactions thanks to the natural and delicate fibers on the skin. Boglietti offers a wide range of solutions made with hypoallergenic fabrics, perfect for all those who do not want to give up style and comfort, even with sensitive skin. Among the products on the site we can find the short-sleeved t-shirt in pure cotton: a sensation of freshness on the skin perfect for all four seasons. Not only t-shirts, but also pure cotton briefs for men to give maximum comfort with every movement without causing irritation on delicate skin.

Materials to avoid for sensitive skin

The materials to avoid for sensitive skin are, first of all, synthetic fabrics, which could cause irritation due to excessive sweating. In addition, it is always important to choose garments that have been treated without the use of harsh chemicals , such as dyes or artificial detergents, which could further irritate the skin.

There are also materials that are not harmful to the skin, but their use is not recommended for very sensitive skin. First of all, viscose . This synthetic fiber derived from cellulose is generally treated with chemicals to increase its softness and silkiness. However, some sensitive skin may experience irritation or allergies. To overcome this problem, you could choose to opt for more ecological and delicate types of viscose, always paying attention to the compositions and carefully reading the labels inside the garments.

Underwear for sensitive skin: everyday comfort

Particular attention is paid to underwear for sensitive skin . These are in fact very delicate areas that require special attention in the choice of fabrics. Boglietti has always been committed to ensuring daily well-being . Boglietti puts its vast knowledge in the field of underwear at the service of people with garments of lasting quality, such as the organic cotton bodysuit , light but enveloping on the skin , or the invisible brazilian brief under the most tight-fitting garments, to offer sensuality and comfort in a single garment.

Care tips for sensitive skin fabrics

Caring for fabrics for sensitive skin is essential so that the fibers maintain their original shape and composition. The advice to take the best care of these garments is to always read the instructions on the tags or the description sheet on the product page if purchased online.

Delicate wash for sensitive fabrics

Each fabric has its own washing , and those dedicated to sensitive skin are certainly not immune to this rule. Whether it is cotton, silk or other compositions of natural origin, for each of these there are indications that it would be advisable to follow when washing, drying and ironing. For example, cotton, unlike other fabrics, is very resistant and easy to maintain , but it tends to crease easily, often requiring the use of an iron in order to keep its shape intact. Silk, on the other hand, is a very delicate fabric: it is best to wash it by hand or in the washing machine using a delicate program and let it air dry. Whether it's an important occasion or a moment of relaxation, Boglietti garments are perfect to ensure comfort, safety and elegance at all times .
