Moisture-Wicking Underwear 101: Stay Cool, Dry & Confident All Day
Written by Karen RobbinsWhy Moisture-Wicking Underwear Is Your Everyday Essential
Let’s face it—moisture-wicking underwear is essential for staying cool, dry, and confident throughout your entire day. Unlike traditional cotton underwear, the SPANX Invisible Supima® Cotton collection is expertly designed to be breathable, actively wicking sweat away from your skin for quick evaporation. This innovative design helps prevent discomfort like chafing and irritation, keeping you comfortable and confident from your first meeting to your last outing.
In this guide, you’ll learn why choosing the right moisture-wicking underwear can transform your day—and why Spanx’s innovative Invisible Supima® Cotton collection is your ultimate breathable, shaping upgrade.
What Is Moisture-Wicking Underwear?
How Moisture-Wicking Technology Works
Moisture-wicking underwear is made from fabrics engineered to pull sweat away from your skin and spread it across the surface for quick evaporation. This process keeps you feeling fresh, dry, and comfortable, no matter how busy or active your day gets. Spanx’s collection combines premium Supima® Cotton with patented LYCRA® FitSense™ technology to offer a breathable, supportive fit that moves with you—so you never compromise on comfort or shaping.
Why Choose Moisture-Wicking Underwear from Spanx?
Not all moisture-wicking underwear is created equal. Spanx uses Supima® Cotton, a luxurious natural fiber renowned for superior softness, strength, and moisture control compared to regular cotton. Unlike synthetic-only fabrics, Supima® Cotton is naturally breathable, absorbs moisture quickly, and dries faster. Paired with our exclusive LYCRA® FitSense™ shaping technology, you get targeted compression that sculpts without causing sweat buildup or overheating.
