Wäsche-ABC

A

  • Acetate

    A chemical compound of cellulose with acetic acid is called acetate. Fabrics made of acetate are characterized by a matt-shimmering sheen, a full feel, heat sensitivity and low moisture absorption.

  • Active ingredients

    Special active ingredients in textiles are additives that give the textile positive properties. For example, silver ions, as used in finishing with silver technology, are considered special active ingredients. In addition to medical active ingredients, wellness active ingredients such as Ayurveda are also frequently used. They give the laundry a special suppleness or a special scent.

  • Adhesive cup bra

    The adhesive cup bra has no straps and no back closure. It consists only of two cups on the inside in which a special plastic is incorporated, which ensures that the cups adhere to the body. This bra is especially recommended under tight clothing. Adhesive cup bras are more suitable for smaller cup sizes. See also cup-only bra or stick-on bra.

  • Allergy

    The exaggerated defense reaction of the body's immune system to certain, usually harmless environmental substances, so-called allergens, is called an allergy.
    Allergies can cause various reactions of the body and can often be positively influenced by appropriate anti-allergenic clothing. Thus, our comazo|earth underwear made of organic cotton is particularly gentle to the skin. 

  • Animal fiber

    Animal fibers are natural fibers and are obtained from animals. They include wool and silk.

  • Assortment

    The range includes all collections, products and product lines.

B

  • Balconette bra

    Our balconette bra can be worn with or without straps, depending on the occasion and outerwear. The silicone band worked into the upper edge of the cups always ensures optimum support.

  • Bamboo

    Bamboo is a valid alternative to cotton. The grass cells have a high proportion of cellulose in their cell walls, which provides stability. It is precisely this stability that makes bamboo interesting for the conversion of cellulose into textiles. Bamboo has an antibacterial effect and the fibers can quickly absorb moisture from the body. Clothing made of bamboo is ideal as workwear and summer clothing. The fabric is also very elastic, due to the construction of the bamboo. At the same time, however, extra robust. On the skin, the bamboo fiber feels pleasantly dry at all times.

  • Bandeau bra

    Bandeau bras look very similar to a broad strip and are often strapless, making them perfect to wear under off-the-shoulder dresses and tops. Often, the straps are also removable to create even more flexibility.

  • Basic

    Basic items are the products from our regular assortment. These are available over several seasons in selected basic colours. In addition, these articles are also available in changing fashion colors depending on the season.

  • Body

    Body is the short form of the English word "body suit" and refers to a one-piece, very tight-fitting underwear. The bodysuit usually has a button seal or hook closure in the crotch. Depending on the fashion trend, the bodysuit is sometimes more, sometimes less demanded.

     

  • Body zones

    The human body can be divided into individual zones where more or less heat is released under stress. For example, you sweat more under the armpits or in the chest area, as more body heat is released here, while the hips or back tend to be cooler body zones. In warm body zones, body mapping underwear relies on moisture-wicking fabrics and temperature-balancing knitwear, while in colder body zones, thermal fabrics and heat-retaining knitwear are used. To ensure maximum wearing comfort at the same time, the individual body zones are knitted into the fabric, thus avoiding superfluous seams and making the garment feel like a second skin.

  • Bodymapping

    For the development of bodymapping functional underwear, findings from sports science are taken into account. The articles have zones that correspond to the patterns discovered in studies with regard to heat and moisture release of individual body zones during athletic exertion. Thus, areas where the body perspires heavily are particularly moisture-wicking and airy.

  • Boxer shorts

    Boxer shorts are wide cut underpants with legs. They are offered for both sexes, but are more popular in the men's range. Boxer shorts are often worn in combination with a T-shirt as nightwear. They are available as woven boxer shorts or in fine jersey fabrics.

  • Bra with underwire

    Underwire bras are especially suitable for larger cup sizes. These bras are reinforced with fine plastic underwires in the lower cup area. Thus, they give the breast optimum support and stability.

     

  • Bra withour underwire

    Bras without underwire offer flexibility, freedom of movement and high wearing comfort with smaller cups.

  • Brand

    Brand is the term we use to describe our collections with, i.e. the individual brands offered under the Comazo umbrella brand.

  • Brief

    Briefs are tight-fitting underpants without legs that cover the buttom. Briefs come in different styles: Maxi briefs, sports briefs, mini briefs.

  • Bustier

    A bustier is a top that ends above the waist and holds the breast in place of a bra. They come with pre-shaped or molded cups. Bustiers are especially suitable for small to medium bust sizes.

C

  • Care labeling

    The care label is usually printed on the packaging of the garments or sewn inside. It indicates what should be observed when washing and drying to ensure a long life of the textiles.

    In our laundry blog, we have summarized the most important information and tips for proper washing for you.

  • Cellulosic chemical fiber

    The starting material of cellulosic fibers is cellulose, which is mainly obtained from the cellulose-rich woods of spruce and beech trees or from waste from cotton spinning mills.

    With the help of caustic soda and carbon disulfide, the cellulose is liquefied into a spinning mass, then pressed through nozzles and spun into filaments.

    Due to the natural raw material, chemcial cellulosic fibers are very similar to cotton in their properties. Modal fibers are modified viscose fibers. They have higher strength and improved service properties than viscose fibers.

  • Certificate

    Certificates are used for quality assurance, consumers can rely on these standards and get more security when buying certified products.
    Comazo products are checked for quality in ongoing tests and by independent institutes. Depending on their intended use, they must meet different criteria in order to be awarded various certificates and seals of approval.

  • Chest circumference

    How women determine their chest circumference:

    Underbust circumference: measure horizontally around your body under the breast.

    Chest circumference: Place the measuring tape horizontally at the strongest part of the chest and measure the circumference.

     

    This is how men determine their chest circumference:

    Measure under the armpits at the strongest part of the chest.

    For best results, we recommend to measure directly on the body or to wear thin clothes for the measurement. Our size chart contains a nice drawing for this.

  • Circular knit

    Circular knitted fabric is knitted in tubular form, i.e. in one piece without seams. It is particularly often used for health and functional underwear to avoid unnecessary seams and increase wearing comfort. In industrial production, circular knitwear is made on special circular knitting machines.

  • Circular knitting machine

    In industrial production, circular knitting is made on special circular knitting machines. These are particularly suitable for very fine knitted fabrics, whereby the thickness of the finished knitted fabric depends on the thickness of the yarn used, the fibers and the knitted weave.

  • Climate regulation

    Climate-regulating functions in textiles are also known as "phase change management". This means that these textiles always ensure the right feel-good temperature: they warm where warmth is needed and cool where pleasant coolness is desired. This function is made possible in various ways. For example, body-mapped clothing is knitted differently in a wide variety of body zones, naturally without any disturbing seams, in order to wick away moisture in areas that sweat more and keep the body warm and dry. This effect can also be achieved through different combinations of materials: two-layer fabric constructions in which the fabric attracts moisture and releases it to the outer layer of fabric.

  • Collections

    We call our individual underwear lines offered under the umbrella brand "Comazo - We live favorite underwear" collections: comazo, comazo|black, comazo|platin, comazo|active, comazo|earth, comazo|protect, comazo|med.

  • Controlled organic livestock

    Controlled organic livestock includes species-appropriate husbandry, appropriate feeding and the renunciation of fattening aids. It requires generous, changing pastures and a low stocking density for animals. Fattening aids and the use of pesticides are prohibited. The economy is close to nature in compliance with the ecological load limits. State-approved, independent inspection bodies are audited annually, organic producers and processors die for compliance with the stricter production and processing guidelines.

  • Corn fiber

    Corn fiber is a natural, constantly renewable and very easily degradable plant fiber produced from the corn plant. Corn fiber has many excellent properties: it is very fine, soft, gentle, skin-friendly and easy to clean. Good heat storage capacity and very good insulation properties make the corn fiber perfect for children's clothing, sportswear, socks and outerwear.

  • Corselet

    A corselet is a "light" corset: it is not laced but closed at the back with hooks and shapes not only the chest and waist but also legs and partly the thighs. It does not fit as tightly as a normal corset and belongs more to shapewear than a bodice.

  • Corset

    A corset is a very stiff bodice that used to be reinforced with fish bones and now with metal. It shapes the chest and waist and is laced in the back and closed in the front with hooks. Nowadays, it is often worn under dresses or as a top. 

  • Corsetry

    Corsetry is the name given to special, figure-shaping underwear for women. The task of this underwear is to shape the silhouette and conceal the problem areas. It is available as light, medium or strong shaping underwear, depending on the firmness and shaping power.  Especially on the bottom and belly, and depending on the design also on the thighs, it shapes through its firm fit and is perfect to wear under figure-hugging outerwear.

  • Cotton

    Cotton belongs to the natural fibers. The seed hair of the cotton plant are spun, and the quality depends on several properties: staple length, fineness, strength, purity, color.

    Cotton is characterized by its softness, durability and tear resistance. It is easy to care for and in some cases even boil-proof.

    Cotton can be subjected to various finishing processes, see the terms cotton gassed, mercerized and super combed.

    Go directly to our organic cotton products here ►.

  • Cotton since 1901

    Cotton since 1901 is a lace yarn brand from Gerbr. Otto Baumwollfeinzwirnerei GmbH +Co. KG. This is a high quality, long staple, contamination free cotton of European origin.

  • Cotton, gassedd

    Gassing, also called flaming or singeing, is a finishing process. In this process, protruding hairs are mechanically lowered, burned or flamed, usually over a gas flame, giving the fabric a smooth, fine, clear appearance. It becomes more elegant and easier to handle.

  • Cotton, mercerized

    In this finishing process, cotton yarns are treated with cold caustic soda and simultaneously stretched. The fiber is thus smoothed, gaining a durable, wash-resistant sheen and a silk-like feel, classy and elegant with high tensile strength.

  • Cotton, super combed

    This cotton has been super combed several times to achieve a fine, smooth and firm look. Fabrics made from super combed cotton are extremely light and have a high quality feel.

  • Cup

    Bra cups are also called cups.

  • Cup bra only

    This is a bra that has neither straps nor back closure. It is recommended under skin tight and very tight clothing. Cup-only bras are more suitable for smaller cup sizes. See also adhesive cup bra or stick-on bra.

  • Cup size

    The cup size is calculated by the measurements of the underbust and the breast at its strongest point. For optimal measurement and detailed information, please refer to our size chart.

  • Design

    "Design is the joy of beautiful underwear". According to this slogan, Comazo develops fashionable and functional underwear for every day and all occasions - highest quality and perfect wearing comfort guaranteed. The bestl: your favorite underwear is also available in your favorite colors.

Z

  • Cellulose

    The main component of plant cell walls is called cellulose. Cellulose occurs very frequently as a natural raw material and serves a variety of chemical industries, such as the production of cellulosic chemcial fibers.

U

  • Circumference

    see also chest circumference

  • Underwear

    Garment that is worn under the outer clothing. It lies directly on the skin and provides hygiene functions, so it must be washed regularly.

D

  • Delta-String

    A delta string is a string that has a triangle of fabric in the front and only a triangle indicated from the strings in the back. See also V-string.

  • Diolen®

    Diols are organic compounds containing divalent alcohols ("dialcohols").
    Diolen® is the brand name for a special synthetic fiber from the group of polyester fibers; it is characterized by particular tensile strength and is resistant to oxygen, light and high temperatures.

  • Dyeing

    "The favorite underwear also comes in the favorite colors".
    Comazo uses only colors for their underwear that are harmless. Comazo underwear bears the "Confidence in Textiles" seal according to Oeko-Tex Standard 100.

E

  • Electrostatic discharge

    Electrostatic discharge is a very short and strong electrical current pulse, usually caused by frictional electricity, which is often perceived as a spark or breakdown. Humans do not feel this pulse until it reaches approximately 2000 V, however, in some environments, this is enough to cause fires or explosions. For example, care should be taken when handling flammable liquids, gases or dust. The right workwear to prevent electrostatic discharge is offered by our comazo|protect collection.

  • Relief bra

    The relief bra has an extra wide underbust band and wide straps to relieve the breast.

F

  • Fabric

    Woven fabric refers to textile surfaces made of at least two intersecting yarn systems. The yarns are arranged next to each other in looms, with transverse and longitudinal rows of yarn. The longitudinal rows of yarn are always pulled alternately under and over the transverse rows of yarn. In the underwear sector, woven fabrics are mainly used for the production of woven boxer shorts and woven pajamas.

  • Fairtrade

    The Fairtrade organization has set itself the task of improving working conditions for producers in developing countries. The standard is built on three fundamental values: economic, ecological and social. For certified farmers, the purchase of fairly traded raw materials means fair wages that are higher than world market prices, a Fairtrade bonus, and a premium for organic production. In addition, child and forced labor, for example, are prohibited. The farms are regularly inspected for compliance with the Fairtrade guidelines.

    Products whose raw materials originate from fair trade bear a Fairtrade code, with which the product can be traced back to its origins.

    Go directly to our Fairtrade products► here.

  • Faser

    All fabrics consist of individual fibers. These only result in a fabric in their entirety and after processing, i.e. spinning into yarns and subsequent knitting.

    There are different types of fibers:

    Natural fibers

    • Animal fibers, e.g. wool or silk

    • Vegetable fibers, e.g. cotton

    Chemical fibers

    • Cellulosic fibers, e.g. viscose or modal

    • Synthetic fibers, e.g. Meryl®, Trevira Bioactive® or spandex

  • Fashion

    Comazo offers, in addition to the standard underwear series, also so-called fashion series. These are only available for a limited time, usually one season. They differ from the basics by color, pattern, applications, cuts, etc. and are often only available in Comazo lingerie stores.

  • Favorite underwear

    At Comazo, we attribute favorite underwear not only to a modern, appealing look, but also to the highest quality of materials and workmanship, perfect fit, maximum wearing comfort and durability. Our employees and customers have already found their favorite underwear. Our wish is that everyone takes their favorite Comazo underwear out of the closet drawer first, because it gives them the best feeling. Real favorite underwear it is.

  • Fiber blend

  • French Knickers

    French Knickers are panties with a high-waist fit and legs with half-length.

  • Functional underwear

    The requirements for functional underwear differ considerably from those for everyday underwear. The functionalities of underwear are defined as certain effects of individual fabrics and materials as well as processing and finishing methods. For example, materials finished with silver technology have an odor-inhibiting effect on perspiration, while multilayer fabric constructions ensure optimum climate control and moisture transport. Special fiber blends provide thermal functions. Bodymapping garments provide optimal climate regulation and moisture transport, tailored to the respective body zones. Sports bras offer strong support for every type of sports and our seamless underwear feels like a second skin. For more information on functional underwear, see our comazo|active and comazo|protect collections.

  • Functionality/Function

    Functionalities of underwear are defined as certain effects of individual fabrics and materials as well as processing and finishing methods. For example, materials finished with silver technology have an odor-inhibiting effect on perspiration, multilayer fabric constructions ensure optimum climate regulation and moisture transport, and special fiber blends provide thermal functions.

G

  • G string

    G string is a form of string. Characteristic is the scarce use of fabric.

  • GOTS

    The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is a globally recognized standard that places the highest demands on textiles in order to evaluate them as genuine and consistent natural textiles. For textiles to be awarded the GOTS certificate, this means, among other things, that they must consist of at least 90% pure natural fibers and contain a maximum of 10% synthetic fibers or viscose. The natural fibers from animals or plants must also come from controlled organic farming.

H

  • Health underwear

    Health underwear is the term used to describe underwear that meets the special requirements of a wide range of medical conditions, e.g. neurodermatitis underwear or incontinence underwear.

  • Hemp

    Due to its many positive properties, hemp is one of the oldest useful and decorative plants in the world and has been used to produce textiles for several thousand years. The hemp fibers are obtained from the bast of the useful hemp plants. Since the hemp fibers form large cavities that separate the layers of air, hemp clothing provides pleasant coolness in summer and cozy warmth in winter. In addition, hemp textiles can absorb up to 30% moisture without feeling wet. Another positive effect is due to the natural greasiness of the fibers: Rain beads off for a very long time before it is absorbed and the clothing has a dirt-repellent and antistatic effect. In terms of UV protection, hemp is the unbeatable natural textile; it offers 95% UV protection, which is particularly appreciated by fair and sensitive skin types. Due to modern extraction and processing of the fibers, hemp textiles are no longer necessarily rough and colorless today, but comfortable to wear and available in beautiful colors. When extracting the raw materials, attention is usually paid to sustainability and humane working conditions. Often, hemp products are also Fairtrade or GOTS certified. In addition to pure hemp textiles, there are also blended fabrics, e.g. with cotton, silk or linen. As with modern functional clothing, the positive properties of the individual fibers can also be optimally combined here.

  • Hollow fiber

    Hollow fibers are fibers that are cylindrical in shape and have a hollow space in the middle. These fibers have a high absorbency to moisture and have an insulating effect. Clothing with these fibers is mainly used in the functional textile sector, for example for thermal clothing.

  • Hygiene laundry

    Underwear with special hygienic function is very hygienic on the one hand due to its generous cut and on the other hand due to the processed fabrics and materials. Underwear with tight cuffs provides a comfortable and secure fit and fabrics finished with silver technology provide an antibacterial effect. Hygienic underwear is not always boil-proof, because thanks to high-tech materials and innovative detergents, temperatures beyond 60° C are no longer needed these days.  Hygienic underwear is available in the comazo|med and comazo|platin collections, depending on requirements.

I

  • Incontinence underwear

    Incontinence underwear is specially designed for the needs of affected people and maintains discretion and a secure feeling in everyday life. It offers special protection from mild to severe incontinence. The underwear has different functions depending on the severity of the condition. In the case of mild incontinence, a membrane protects against moisture release and disposable pads can be used. In the case of more severe disease, the integrated absorbent core provides security. The fabrics used have an antimicrobial and thus odor-inhibiting effect.

J

K

  • Knitwear

    Knitting refers to a technique using at least two needles to create meshing using a yarn. In knitting, the stitches strung together form an area called a knit. Knitted fabrics can be created using a wide variety of knitting patterns. Knitted fabrics fit to the body shapes, are very elastic and flexible in comparison to woven fabrics.

L

  • Lamb wool

    Lamb wool is the wool obtained from the first shearing of a lamb. Lamb's wool is used to make a fluffy and very warm yarn, often in combination with polyamide and acrylic for price reasons, as well as to strengthen its durability or tear resistance. Plasma treatment (or superwash) is an environmentally safe chlorine-free finish that beautifies the fibers and brings positive yarn properties, such as tear resistance and skin-friendliness. This treatment makes wool garments less itchy, not that matted and easy to wash in the washing machine.

  • Large sizes

    To ensure optimal support, bras with large cup sizes have special elements. For example, vertical bars are used on the sides for stabilization. In the front area, a wide fabric element that is located under and between the cups, also called a frame, provides additional support and relieves the breast. Extra wide straps do not cut in.

  • Laser Cut Technology

    Laser cut technology enables precise, sharp and fast processing of a textile. The laser cuts through materials with hot temperatures and ensures that the cutting edges are fused. This results in a refinement of the textile, as the fabric can no longer fray. With no finished ends, there are no annoying, bulky seams.

  • Layer / layer principle

    The layer principle is a layering model for functional clothing. Three layers of clothing fulfill different functions and play together perfectly. It is important that all layers are coordinated with each other and that no layer is neglected. Layer 1 is the layer that has direct contact with the skin, e.g. functional underwear such as bodymapping, 777 ski underwear or seamless underwear from comazo|active. The main task of this layer is moisture transport. Excess moisture is transported to the outside, where it can evaporate. The body stays dry and warm. Layer 2 as a mid-layer offers thermoregulating properties and layer 3 protects the body from the external influences such as wind and rain.

  • Layer 1

    Layer 1 is the layer that has direct contact with the skin, e.g. functional underwear such as sports bras, seamless underwear, etc. The main task of this layer is moisture transport. Excess moisture is transported to the outside, where it can evaporate. The body remains dry and warm.

  • Layer 2

    Layer 2 is the intermediate layer between underwear and outerwear, this includes T-shirts, sports jerseys, body mapping clothes, shirts, etc. This layer offers thermoregulating properties and has the task of keeping the heat on the body. While doing that, the layer should remain breathable.

  • Layer 3

    Layer 3 is the outermost layer of clothing, such as soft-shell jackets, windbreakers, etc. The purpose of outerwear is to protect the body from any weather conditions, such as wind, rain and cold. It must be light, comfortable and pleasant to wear, while being breathable and moisture-wicking.

  • Linen

    Linen is made from flax fibers; depending on the proportion of flax fibers in the fabric, it is referred to as half linen (min. 40%) or full linen. In the meantime, linen has been almost completely displaced by the finer cotton, but in recent years, it has been gaining in importance again as a natural fiber. In the past, linen was often used for bedding and household linen, as it is very tear-resistant and easy to care for. Today, it is also increasingly used for the manufacture of garments.

  • Long underpants

    Long underpants are suitable as underwear especially in winter due to their good thermal properties. For winter sports, however, special functional underwear should be rather used, as these offer moisture-wicking functions in addition to thermal ones.

  • Lurex®

    Lurex® is an established manufacturer of specific mineral fibers. For yarn production, polyester yarns are vaporized with aluminum to give them a metallic sheen. The Lurex fibers are processed as metallic yarns and as effect yarns, with or without metal. The metallic shiny yarns are often used for effect seams and fabrics, for example in bras, designer dresses or fine stockings. Lurex fibers are available in almost all colors and with special effects, such as transparency.

  • Lycra®

    Lycra® is a stretchable synthetic fiber, also called spandex. Lycra is a protected brand name. Fabrics containing Lycra® fibers adapt perfectly to the contours of the body and cling to it like a second skin. These fibers are particularly well suited for use in underwear and swimwear.

  • Lyocell fiber from hemp residues

    Lyohemp® is obtained from controlled, organically grown hemp. Lyohemp® is a registered trademark of the Thuringian Institute for Textile and Plastics Research (TITK) in Rudolstadt. Only the flowers and seed stalks are used in production, which brings hemp farmers additional income through the sale of the plant stemps. The fiber from hemp is a sustainable alternative to cotton because it is an extremely fine and skin-friendly fiber.

M

  • Manual work

    Handmade stands for quality, durability and love for the product. Even if machine production processes have found their way into industry worldwide, in textile production, a lot is still made by hand which is deeply valued. The manual work offers some advantages, which are mainly on the customer side: When textiles are cut by hand with a band knife, which still happens every day at Comazo, fabrics can be cut in a way that the pattern continues perfectly over the seams in the finished product.

  • Manufacturer

    The manufacturer is the producer of a product. Comazo, as a fully integrated manufacturer, is involved in the entire process, from raw material extraction to basic material production, processing, delivery and distribution. Each product can be traced back through all stages and to its origins. Large parts of the production are done by hand to further increase the quality level.

  • Manufacturer price

    In classic retailing, the retailer sells items in his store or warehouse that he purchases from the producer. In the structure of manufacturer sales, intermediaries are eliminated, and the manufacturer himself offers his goods to the end consumer. He buys quality products at manufacturer prices.

  • Material

    Material describes all the ingredients to the product, such as fabrics, sewing yarns, applications, etc. All components of the products are of exquisite quality at Comazo, because they contribute decisively to a pleasant wearing feeling and make Comazo underwear your favorite.

  • Maxi-Slip

    Maxi briefs are also called panty. They are straight cut briefs at the waist with short legs that fit close to the body.

  • Merino wool

    Merino wool is obtained from the wool of the merino sheep, which is a fine wool sheep breed. Merino wool is characterized by its fineness and softness. Merino wool is breathable in summer and insulating in winter, so it is perfect for any season.

    Advantages and important characteristics of merino wool:

    • does not scratch the skin
    • is biodegradable
    • the texture remains the same
    • can keep warm despite absorbed moisture
    • transports moisture
    • can absorb up to one third of its dry weight in moisture

    Care instructions should be followed when buying merino wool:

    • do not apply pressure when washing, optimal would be a wool program in the washing machine
    • use detergents without enzymes
    • do not use bleach or fabric softener
    • do not throw in the dryer
  • Meryl-Skinlife®

    Meryl-Skinlife® is a synthetic hollow fiber into which wafer-thin amounts of silver are incorporated. This makes the fiber particularly antibacterial and odor-inhibiting. It is well tolerated and also ideally suited for allergy sufferers and sensitive skin.

  • Micro fiber

    Microfibers are all extremely finely spun fibers made of polymaid, polyester, modal or other synthetic fibers that are finer than silk. Microfibers are filaments and fiber yarns whose individual threads are up to 60 times smaller than a human hair.
    Microfibers have extremely fine pores and air pockets that transport body moisture to the surface of the fabric, where it evaporates.

  • MicroModal®

    MicroModal® is an even finer version of the normal Modal fiber. Knitted fabrics with MicroModal® are extremely soft and light. In addition, the fibers are produced in an environmentally friendly way from domestic beech wood.

  • Mini brief

    The mini brief is an extremely brief shape. It has the shape of a panty, but is cut even tighter: at the waist it barely exceeds the pelvic bone and also does not completely cover the bottom. It fits perfectly under tight hipster jeans.

     

  • Minimizer bra

    The minimizer bra is a special bra that makes large bust sizes appear smaller and shapes the décolleté in an appealing way.

  • Modal Eco Pure

    TENCEL™ modal fibers with Eco Pure technology are produced using a proven, chlorine-free bleaching process for pulp and fibers. It is produced exclusively in Austria, mainly from beech wood from sustainable, managed forests in Central and Eastern Europe. These Eco Pure technology fibers tend to be softer than conventionally bleached TENCEL™ modal fibers and are very suitable for underwear, loungewear, bedding and more. The TENCEL ™ Modal fibers are identifiable with Eco pure technology. Special identification technology helps so that the eco fibers can be identified at all stages of the textile manufacturing process. 

  • Modal®

    Modal® is a special viscose fiber from the Austrian quality fiber manufacturer Lenzing. The traditional company looks back on a similar long history as Comazo and also has the same values: Sustainability, innovation and tradition. The fibers are produced in-house from 100% natural pulp as well as via a modified viscose process and follow the principle of sustainability. Modal® is particularly suitable for underwear and other garments that are close to the skin due to its uniquely soft feel and various functions. Even finer than normal Modal fibers is MicroModal®.  Furthermore, Modal® is often used in blended fabrics and functional underwear. 

    Characteristics of Modal®:   

    • soft, dimensionally stable and smooth surface
    • high color brilliance
    • easy to clean
    • skin-friendly
    • soft, supple, silk-like feel
    • smooth, cool surface touch
    • silky, elegant look
    • low swelling tendency, therefore very breathable
    • very good color brilliance
    • dimensionally stable
    • more tear-resistant, more durable and higher wet resistance than viscose

    The fiber is also characterized by very good moisture absorption and release, therefore electrostatic charge is prevented when worn. The water retention capacity of modal fibers is approx. 60%, close to that of cotton. Due to the structural design of the fiber, it offers only a low water retention capacity and is therefore drying fast.

  • Modeling bra

    Modeling bras shape the breast and create an attractive décolleté. Depending on the size of the breast, modeling bras can either enlarge or reduce.

  • Moisture transport/moisture regulation

    Functional underwear that promotes moisture transport provides a dry feeling during heavy physical exertion. Sweat and moisture is transported away from the body, to the top of the clothes, where it can evaporate to keep the body and clothes dry.

  • Molding

    In molding, underwear is thermally preformed, i.e. heat is used to form "troughs" in the underwear. This creates space for the breast in bras without the use of seams. Men's underwear is also often molded. Molded underwear offers maximum wearing comfort and is rated as very comfortable.

  • Mulesing free

    Mulesing is a painful method of protecting sheep from fly attacks.

    The procedure, named after John W. H. Mules, involves removing a V-shaped piece of skin around the sheep's tail without anesthesia. In addition, the tail is docked above the third tail  vertebra. This tightens the anal-tail fold, resulting in less accumulation of fluid, feces and urine, which greatly promote fly maggot infestation. Flies are attracted to wool soiled with feces and urine. The flies then lay their maggots in open wounds of a sheep, feeding on the flesh of the host. The resulting myiasis, which is fatal in many cases, is a major economic problem for sheep farming. Alternatives to mulesing are already being researched and put into practice. These include, in particular, non-surgical procedures:

    Intradermal injections of proteins

    • targeted sheep breeding

    • safe insecticides that do not harm meat nor wool

    • fly control with biological methods

    • So-called plastic closure clips, which tighten the sheepskin

N

  • Natural fiber

    Natural fibers are all fibers obtained from plants and animals or minerals that are not chemically modified during production. Cellulosic fibers, such as viscose, although made from natural raw materials, are not considered natural fibers because they are produced synthetically. The most widely used natural fibers are wool, cotton, silk, jute and linen.

  • Neckholder bra

    The straps of the neckholder bra do not go over the shoulders, but are placed around the neck. With this bra, the back remains free and the décolleté is lifted and shaped. This bra shape is particularly suitable under halter tops and dresses and is especially popular for swimwear.
