Modal and cotton are completely different in touch. Modal's softness is better than cotton's, but cotton has a mellow feeling, and its air permeability is far from perfect. So cotton tends to keep warm, while modal is refreshing and soft. As for ultra-fine modal, it is obviously different from ordinary modal. Ultra-fine modal not only has superior softness, but also greatly increases the natural verticality. Even if you rub hard, there will be no obvious wrinkles, and there will be obvious differences in air permeability. Even if it is used to cover your nose with modal cloth, you can breathe smoothly. So many underwear ads are marked: Breathing underwear.
Looking at the price, modal has an advantage over other fabrics because there are many processes in raw material collection and processing. So this kind of fabric is a little more expensive than other fabrics. Generally, modal fabric needs 80~90 yuan/kg, that is, a pair of underwear fabric needs 4~5 yuan. Plus labor, packaging, taxes and fees, the lowest cost is 10 yuan, so friends who have a soft spot for cheap products should pay attention. 1The underwear below 0 yuan is definitely not modal underwear, and it will not be available after the manufacturer clears the stock. No one will do business at a loss.
Look at the packaging. Modal basically belongs to high-end underwear, manufacturers in order to ensure profits and reduce costs. Small batch production is unlikely. In order to improve the added value of products, manufacturers generally carry out fine packaging on the packaging, usually a single boxed boutique underwear. Most underwear, whether packaged or unpacked, can't be modal underwear, because there is no premium space for such products, and manufacturers have no greater income.
Look at the design and workmanship. Observing the thickness of the fabric, it is definitely not light, soft, round and rough like Modal. In terms of workmanship, observing the workmanship of crotch, modal material rarely needs to be sewn. Because that will affect the natural verticality of modal, it will have a little uncomfortable foreign body feeling when wearing it. Second, look at the line. Ordinary small factories rarely use high-end modal for production, and all famous brand processing factories generally have formal assembly line workshops, which will be more exquisite and tidy in sewing and threading. There will be no cable head or even disconnection.
