10 reasons to choose a modal nightgown instead of a cotton one

The fabric we choose for our clothing is of great importance - not only for our comfort, but also for our health. When we underestimate the importance of the fabrics that our clothes and underwear are made of, we can also unknowingly put our body at risk.

Our choice of clothing fabrics is not even as important as our choice of underwear - the underwear has direct contact with the skin and its substance should be as natural, comfortable, light, and pleasant as possible, without causing any moisture or irritation.

Two of the most commonly used sleep wear fabrics are cotton and satin. However, in recent years, the modal fabric has become increasingly preferred for the production of luxury sleep wear, as it is a material with incredible ease, tenderness, and flexibility. It is a semi-synthetic fabric made from beech tree pulp, which is an eco-conscious and durable option for everyday wear.  Modal is also known for its exceptional softness and ability to hug the skin in a light and delicate way. If you are hesitant about the material of your new nightgown or pyjamas, we recommend that you opt for a model made from modal instead of cotton. Here are some reasons why you should choose a modal sleep wear:

  • Cotton is a fabric that has been used for decades in the textile industry, but when it comes to luxury and fine linen, modal is currently preferred. Cotton clothing, although a quality product, can more easily change and spoil its condition compared to the modal. Only after a few washes and dries cotton begins to lose its shape and its characteristic softness. No such thing is observed in modal so far.
  • Over time, cotton underwear becomes more coarse and uncomfortable to wear than a modal, which, even after several washes, does not lose its softness and tenderness. That in turn means, cotton underwear more or less has an expiration date and it would make you buy more quickly; while modal would keep its integrity for longer and would still give you style and comfort even after multiple washes.   
  • Modal is a very thin fiber. This feature makes it breathable, which means it does not suffocate the skin.
  • Another indispensable advantage of this type of fabric is that the colours do not fade over time, as it is the case with most other textile materials.
  • Modal lingerie retains its beautiful shape, and does not change over time, even if the fabric is combined with a little elastane. In cotton, however, there is often a change in the shape of the garment, the color, or the quality of the fabric.
  • No electrification is observed with modal, which makes the fabric much more comfortable to touch and to wear.
  • Extremely suitable for summer heat, as the modal fabric does not retain heat and does not further heat the body.
  • Modal is a material that absorbs moisture really well and keeps the skin dry at the same time, thus protecting the delicate areas and intimate parts.
  • Due to its natural origin, the modal prevents unpleasant odour and thus contributes to our peace of mind during the day.
  • Modal helps to regulate body temperature. Natural fibers of fabric are much more effective regulators of temperature than other fabrics. This means that they protect the body better from sweating and bacteria than other fabrics. However, even if you sweat, the modal will protect the intimate area from moisture and bacteria due to its absorbent properties.

Choosing modal night wear, you would guarantee yourself flexibility, ease, soft and gentle feel to your skin, and less chance and risk of moisture compared to other fabrics. If you value comfort and quality there is no need to doubt - modal is the material that would give you those desired feelings of comfort and class. Not only that, it is absorbent, it keeps the skin dry for a long time, and it doesn’t change its form or color overtime. The feeling of modal hugging your skin is very pleasant and silky soft every time. All of this certainly solidifies modal sleep wear as a luxurious product that your body truly deserves.
