In the last TUBIE ironing doll blog, we already described how to keep your feet warm in winter despite the icy temperatures. Today we're looking at underwear. It is important that your underwear not only keeps you warm, but also wicks away moisture through perspiration.
Many people like to wear cotton as the bottom layer of the onion look because it keeps the body warm. However, it also absorbs sweat and takes a long time to dry. Once you have worked up a sweat, your body remains damp and an unpleasant odor can develop.
Functional underwear made from merino wool is better, as these garments are odor-neutral, even if you sweat. Even when damp or wet, merino underwear keeps you warm and dries very quickly. Merino wool also draws perspiration away from the body and transfers it to other layers of clothing. In contrast to normal wool, it is very fine and does not scratch the skin. For this reason, it is suitable for wearing directly next to the skin. We shirt ironers and blouse ironers love functional underwear made from merino wool.
Thermal underwear made from synthetic materials is also ideal for braving the cold. Synthetic underwear dries very quickly, absorbs moisture well and wicks it away from the skin immediately. It is also breathable and usually warm and fluffy. It is important for synthetic fiber underwear to have germicidal silver ions woven into the fabric to keep sweat odors away, for example.
If, like us from the TUBIE ironing machine team, you prefer natural materials and like it cuddly soft, you can also choose angora underwear in addition to merino underwear. Angora wool is kind to the skin, protects against the cold and is soft and breathable. The hollow space in the fiber material makes it easier to absorb moisture. Angora underwear should be washed two to three times after wearing, preferably by hand or, if necessary, using the delicate wash program.
