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.

Allergy

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.

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 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.

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.

Brief

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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, 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.

Cup

Bra cups are also called cups.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fiber blend

Fiber blends allow the advantages of different fibers to be combined. New yarns with new character, new look and new feel are created.

Fine rib

Fine rib is a right/right stitch fabric produced on circular knitting machines. It is an elastic and fine fabric, which finds its use in the production of body-hugging underwear.

French Knickers

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Merino wool

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

Refibra Technologie by Lenzing

The pioneering REFIBRA ™ technology involves the upcycling of cotton scraps from clothing production. These cotton scraps are converted into cotton pulp. A significant proportion - up to one third - is added to wood pulp, and the combined raw material is processed into new TENCEL ™ lyocell virgin fibers for the production of fabrics and garments.

V string

A V-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 delta string.

Viscose

Viscose is one of the cellulosic chemical fibers. It is produced synthetically from the natural base material cellulose. Viscose fibers have high color brilliance and a silky sheen, hence the name "artificial silk". They have only a low heat retention capacity, which makes them attractive especially in warm months.

Seamless

The Seamless product line stands for lightweight, fine, seamless underwear that is barely noticeable on the skin. The fabric is produced on circular knitting machines so that unnecessary seams can be avoided. Edges and selvedges are often laser cut so that sewing is not necessary there either. The unique underwear pieces of this collection are especially suitable for sports but also for maximum comfort in everyday life.

Shop

The term shop has become widespread in Germany and primarily refers to online stores as virtual sales platforms. Whether the retailer also operates stationary stores is irrelevant.

Silver technology

Fabrics and materials finished with silver technology have an antibacterial effect on the skin, which prevents odor formation and can even bring comfort for irritated, sensitive skin, including neurodermatitis. Silver technology is mainly used in functional underwear, health underwear and work underwear.

Size chart

In 2009, Comazo participated in the "Size Germany" project as a partner of the Hohenstein Institute. Here, more than 13000 men, women and children between the ages of 6 and 87 were measured as part of a study on size change and survey of the German population. The result is the most accurate determination criteria for the clothing sizes required for the German market. Thus, the clothing sizes could be adjusted and standardized even more precisely. To determine underwear sizes, women and men need the chest circumference as well as the waist circumference, women additionally need the underbust circumference. To our size chart.

Spacer

Spacers are pre-shaped and molded soft shells that are not made of the typical foam, but are made of a lightweight, shape-retaining material that is breathable and cools.

Characteristics:

• gives the breast a rounder shape

Furthermore, TACTEL® is fast drying and has high strength. Due to its lightness, it is also popular for health lingerie.

Testing

Comazo underwear is tested for a wide range of criteria in various test procedures. On the one hand, criteria prescribed by compliance with standards and certificates, and on the other hand, our own specifications regarding quality and durability. Thus, depending on the linen, different test procedures are applied to color fastness, wash resistance, flammability, weight, fineness and uniformity of knitwear.

Thermal function

Functional underwear with thermal function keeps the heat on the body and provides a pleasantly warm feeling at low temperatures. Thermal underwear is especially suitable in winter, e.g. for skiing.

Torselette

A torselette is a kind of light corset, but it reaches to the hips and is not as rigid and tight as a corset. It is also not laced, but closed in the back with hooks. Small metal or plastic rods are sewn into this piece of underwear to shape the figure. Torselets are available both with and without straps and suspenders.

Triwitex technology:

TRIWITEX® is a specially developed, patented spinning process based on core yarn technology. The fiber yarns are spun around the robust filament. The prior fiber in the core is wrapped around the fiber and is now on the outside. It now lies in the center as a new core, so that it is optimally protected. TRIWITEX® yarn with wool core and synthetic fibers retains only the positive properties of the wool, not the negative ones. As a result, the synthetic fiber binds the protruding wool fibers into the yarn and at the same time makes them more abrasion and tear resistant than pure wool yarn.

warm extra

Warm extra is a special winter functional underwear from the comazo|active collection. It is particularly suitable as ski underwear, as it has a great heat retention capacity and thus keeps the heat optimally on the body.

Washing instructions

Winter laundry

Winter underwear is special functional underwear that meets the requirements of the cold season. Furthermore, it offers optimal functionality for winter sports activities. Warming thermal functions and moisture-wicking fabrics prevent chilling and ensure an all-round dry and warm feeling. For winter sports and leisure, comazo|active offers a wide range of different functional underwear that serves the right purpose for every occasion. Particularly recommended for winter sports fans here are the ski underwear warm extra and the multifunctional underwear warm & clima.

Wool

Wool is an animal fiber and is therefore one of the natural fibers. It is one of the oldest spinning fabrics in the world. Wool has a temperature-balancing effect, possesses good moisture-wicking capabilities and thus keeps the body warm and dry. It is particularly skin-friendly, shiny and soft, also elastic and shape-retaining and, due to its structure, hard-wearing and crease-resistant. By following the care instructions, the life of wool textiles is extended.
