This paper aims to give a comprehensive review on Intimate apparels design, raw materials, components, latest innovations. As it the main clothing layer sinceit goes as human's subsequent skin because of its contact with the skin straight forwardly. The comfort issues of underwear are sensorial, warm, movement, and aesthetical, which are all interrelated. Since underwear is an internal layer in the middle of the skin and the outerwear, itswarmcomfortisvital.
Moving moisture from the attire to the climate through dissemination, wicking, sorption, and dissipation is controlled by the thickness and tightness of the fabric. Sustainable unconventional natural fibres like hemp, banana, castor bean fibre and regenerated fibres like tencel, micro modal, bamboo are advantages for human health benefits, human comfort properties and they have huge significance on environment, which are acceptable for underwear. Thus, this review will discuss on the technical aspects of innerwear commercially available and will focus on the developmentsthatcanbemade in future.
