The vegetable fibers have clearly different properties than cotton (e.g. the modal is three times more soft), better resistance to washing and ironing, etc., properties which arise through the industrial research and product development. The best fiber for use in underwear is Micromodal which is considered absolutely safe because European production is done in a controlled environment and with strict criteria. More about micromodal

Environmentally the native natural fibers, cotton, flax and wool are safer for people with sensitivities and allergies as there is no chemical treatment to obtain the necessary fiber to weave the fabric.
