underwear

Yes, you can practice sport by wearing underwear just like the ones you wear in your daily life.  They are very similar in shape but differ in the fabrics they are made of.

In the case of men, underwear is reduced to pants. Some may also include T-shirts, although nowadays they have a design that can be worn as a single layer.

Characteristics of sports underwear

It should be made of technical fabrics.  Most of them are based on polyester or polyamide.  Nowadays they are more breathable fabrics, but they still incorporate fibres from other technical fabrics to increase the breathability of the garment.

Nike Dri-fit, adidas climacool or Under Armour HeatGear are technologies that allow sweat to pass through the fabric of the garment and once on the surface evaporate.

Another important feature is elasticity.  Sports underwear should be elastic.  They usually incorporate elastane, lycra and other technologies particular to each brand. For example, Under Armour has garments with four-way stretch.

With regard to cotton, the less cotton there is in the composition of a technical sports garment, the better.  Cotton retains water and can increase the weight of the garment by up to 80%.  This will cause discomfort and chafing.  It may be that on other websites you read the opposite, but it may be because they are interested in selling cotton garments... And to find out for sure, we recommend that you look at the composition of the most technical garments from Nie and Adidas, and that you look for cotton among its components.
