Underwear for sensitive skin: antibacterial, soft & sensitive
Do you have red, irritated or itchy areas in your intimate area or other sensitive places on your skin? If your skin is sensitive to textiles, choosing the right underwear plays an essential role. Bras, briefs and undershirts lie directly against the skin and can cause discomfort due to inferior materials or pinching seams. Fortunately, there is sensitive underwear that has been developed specifically for your skin’s needs: soft, breathable and antibacterial.

Gentle underwear for sensitive skin - comfortable, breathable and non-irritating for a pleasant feeling on the skin all day long.
Underwear for sensitive skin ideally consists of natural, skin-friendly materials such as organic cotton, Modal or viscose.
Soft, seamless undergarments prevent skin irritation – on the waistband, thighs or under the breasts, for example.
Proper care with the appropriate laundry products is also essential for avoiding additional irritants on your sensitive skin.
Is your skin susceptible to itchiness, redness or chafing? If so, make sure to avoid synthetic fibres and tight-fitting underwear.
Instead, natural materials such as organic cotton, TENCEL™ Modal, Lyocell and wool-silk blends offer a skin-friendly alternative. They are soft, breathable and effectively wick excess moisture away from the skin – providing substantial protection from unpleasant chafing and bacterial irritation.
At CALIDA, we use sustainable premium quality materials to ensure that our underwear meets the highest standards: Whether it’s seamless underwear, functional bras, comfortable briefs or quality multipacks for men and women – all of our styles are designed to gently hug your body without irritating your skin.
Abrasive seams can become a real problem, especially for sensitive skin. Seamless underwear offers welcome relief: smooth transitions, no thick seams, no pressure points. You benefit from a soft feeling all day long that makes you almost forget you are wearing underwear – whether you’re exercising, working or relaxing at home.
When it comes to caring for sensitive, antibacterial underwear, less is often more. So avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners – not only do these products often contain chemical additives that irritate the skin, they can also weaken the fibres of your briefs and bras, causing additional irritation to the skin. CALIDA recommends gently washing its high-quality materials with bio-based laundry detergents and the use of a mesh laundry bag.
Whether made from organic cotton, TENCEL™ or wool-silk blends, underwear for sensitive skin is the unbeatable choice with its natural softness, antibacterial properties and uncompromising comfort. In addition to breathable materials, make sure your briefs, bras and undershirts also have a skin-friendly cut and high-quality workmanship. You’ll feel great year round and on any occasion – without irritation or chafing.
