What materials are they made from?

The material used in a particular model depends directly on the purpose of the product.

So, if a thing is worn daily, then it is best that it has as many natural fibers as possible in its composition. To do this, the manufacturer uses cotton fabric or mixed fibers, which make it possible to obtain a more elastic fabric and ensure a tight fit of the panties.

If this is a swim model, then polyester, polyamide, lycra, and nylon are used.

By the way, most of these synthetic fibers are used to make sports models. Their improved elasticity allows you not to hamper movement.
