Maternity clothes – what fabrics should they be made of?

The composition of the fabric in maternity clothes is an important issue. The type of fabric affects the comfort of the clothes and the well-being of the future mother. Let’s take a closer look at the fabrics used for maternity clothes. Let’s also find out which ones are worth choosing to ensure comfort and have a guarantee of high quality products. When choosing maternity clothes, pay attention to the content of natural fibers, they have a decisive impact on the comfort of use. A blouse sewn from a fabric made of 100% artificial fibers means the risk of electrification, an unpleasant feeling of heat or the impression of “coating” the body and lack of breathability. Importantly, a small admixture of artificial materials in the composition no longer needs to be feared. It provides the garment with elasticity, a soft fit and a guarantee of maintaining its shape. What fabrics to choose to make sure that the maternity clothes sewn from them will be worn with pleasure? Below is a short list.

Maternity clothes – bamboo

Bamboo fabrics are primarily known for their antibacterial and fungicidal properties, which they do not lose in the wash. Bamboo perfectly absorbs moisture and easily evaporates it, allowing free thermoregulation, giving the impression of a pleasant airiness. In addition, bamboo is durable and simply…. pleasant to the touch. This is very important not only for children, but also for people who have very sensitive skin. It is worth remembering that you need to take special care of such a delicate fabric and treat it with equal gentleness, as inadequately cared for it can crease and mold. Bamboo is often used to sew pajamas and nightgowns. You can find such in the offer of Cool Mama, a Polish brand sewing clothes for pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.

Maternity clothes – viscose

Viscose is a fabric produced from cellulose, which is extracted from trees. However, due to its processing, the fabric is often classified somewhere between natural and synthetic. Viscose’s greatest asset is considered to be its breathability. Some even say that it’s hard to find a fabric that does a better job of letting air through. Wearing viscose clothes eliminates the unpleasant problem of damp material sticking to the body. Viscose gives the garment a pleasant softness, it will be great to wear as a wonderfully soft sweatshirt, right? This is true comfort in autumn.

Maternity clothes – cotton

Cotton is also, like bamboo and viscose, a hypoallergenic fabric. It does not irritate the skin and is not allergenic. It is suitable for people with sensitive skin prone to allergies. Cotton is ideal for colder days. Clothing made of this material protects against cooling and helps to preserve warmth. During pregnancy, a cotton T-shirt will work as one of the autumn layers in the “onion” outfit, and a nice-to-touch cotton hooded sweatshirt will pleasantly wrap and protect you from the first chills.
