5 Reasons Modal Fabric Is Perfect for Sensitive Skin

If comfort had a texture, it would be modal. Smooth as silk, lighter than cotton, and loved by women who crave softness without compromise — it’s the secret behind truly beautiful, gentle underwear.

1. It’s naturally kind to skin

Modal is made from renewable beechwood trees. The fibres are exceptionally fine and smooth, meaning they don’t rub or irritate even the most delicate skin. For anyone with sensitivity — eczema, post-surgery scarring, or lipoedema — this matters.

2. It breathes beautifully

Unlike synthetics that trap heat, modal allows airflow and absorbs moisture. You stay cool, dry, and comfortable — all day or all night.

3. It’s sustainably smart

Modal uses less water and energy than cotton and is produced in closed-loop systems that recycle almost all the solvents used. Sustainability, without the scratchiness often associated with “eco” fabrics.

4. It lasts longer

Modal holds its softness wash after wash. It doesn’t pill or lose shape — meaning you can invest once, and wear for years.

5. It simply feels beautiful

The most tangible reason of all. Modal has that barely-there drape that makes it feel luxurious and effortless. At Curae, we use premium Austrian modal — one of the world’s finest — because softness isn’t just a feature; it’s our standard.

“It felt so silky and soft… I finally understood the cost.” — one customer told us.

The result is underwear and loungewear that doesn’t just fit, but cares for your skin — gentle, made beautiful.
