Most fibers are blended with spandex in the fabric to give stretch and offer the best fit. It's also typical for underwear styles to have a cotton gusset – i.e. the layer of fabric on the inside – regardless of the main fabric. This is especially important to avoid yeast and bacteria growth.


Cotton: It's a natural fiber that's breathable and soft, it feels great against skin. The downside to cotton doesn't dry quickly, so if there's any moisture (e.g. from sweat) the fabric will stay wet.


Plant-based fabrics: Fibers like rayon and modal are made from plants, though they're chemically processed so they're not technically natural. They dry faster than cotton.


Performance fibers: Synthetics like polyester and nylon are common in activewear because they absorb moisture and dry quickly. For the same reason, these fibers are ideal for underwear, especially if you're working out.


Silk: It's not as common and it's expensive, but silk is a natural fiber, feels luxurious, and has inherent temperature-regulating and moisture-management properties.


Novelty styles: You can find underwear made of unique materials, like wool, or with added benefits, like extra layers of absorbency for periods or built-in shapewear.
