How much does underwear weigh？
A pair of men’s underwear may weigh approximately 2-4 ounces (56-113 grams), while a pair of women’s underwear may weigh approximately 1-3 ounces (28-85 grams). However, these are only rough estimates, and the actual weight is related to factors such as the size, fabric, and style of the underwear. In this article, we will explore how much does a pair of underwear weigh from several different aspects.

Style
There are several common styles of underwear
①Bikini Briefs: This is a basic style of underpants, usually with triangular sides, providing appropriate coverage and support.
② Boxer briefs: These briefs have a flat angle design, longer than Briefs, and usually have some extension above the thigh or middle leg.
③ Thongs: This is a less fabric style with narrow fabric straps and a small triangular back to provide minimal coverage.
④G-Strings: This style has only one thin fabric belt, usually forming a “T” shape at the hip to provide minimal coverage and an invisible feeling.
Based on the appearance of these types of underwear, it is not difficult to see that different styles of underwear use different fabrics, so their weight is also different. Traditional boxer shorts are usually heavier than Briefs because they have more cutting and fabric, providing more coverage and support. Briefs are usually heavier than T-shaped pants because Briefs have richer fabrics and larger coverage. Under the same conditions, the weight of Thong pants must be the smallest.

Fabric
Common underwear materials include cotton, nylon, polyester, silk, lycra, etc. The following is a comparison of their weight in grams:
①Cotton: Generally, cotton underwear weighs between 40-80 grams, depending on the thickness and size of the fabric. ②Nylon: Nylon underwear is relatively lightweight, with a general weight range of 30-60 grams. ③Polyester: Polyester underwear is also relatively light, with a general weight range of 30-60 grams. ④Silk: Silk underwear is relatively heavy, with a general weight range of 50-100 grams, depending on the thickness and quality of the silk. ⑤Lycra: Lycra is a kind of Elastic fiber, which is usually used to increase the elasticity and fit of underwear. Due to the fact that Lycra is often only used for some fabrics, it has a small impact on the overall weight of underwear, usually adding only a few grams of weight.
It should be noted that the above weight range is only a general estimate and may vary between different brands and styles.

Size
The size of underwear can have a certain impact on weight. Generally speaking, larger sized underwear may be relatively heavy, while smaller sized underwear may be relatively light. The length of the elastic band at the waist of different sizes of underwear also varies, which can lead to different final weights.

Gender
There may be some differences in weight between men’s underwear and women’s underwear. The following are some factors that may cause weight differences:
①Size: Men’s underwear is usually relatively loose, while women’s underwear is more snug. Men’s underwear is more commonly loose style, such as loose shorts or loose Briefs, while women’s underwear is usually more tight, such as low waist boxers or Thong. Therefore, different sizes may cause men’s underwear to be relatively large and women’s underwear to be relatively small, which may lead to weight differences.
②Fabric selection: Men’s underwear and women’s underwear often use different fabrics for material selection. For example, men’s underwear typically uses fabrics such as cotton or polyester, while women’s underwear may use fabrics containing silk, lace, or other soft fabrics. Different fabric densities and structures may have an impact on the weight of underwear.
③Design and decoration: Men’s underwear is usually simple, with relatively less design and decoration, while women’s underwear may have more design elements, such as lace edges, bows, embroidery, etc. These additional designs and decorations may increase the weight of women’s underwear.
n summary, the specific weight differences may vary depending on different products. If you are interested in the weight difference of a specific size of underwear, it is best to refer to the specific product specifications and descriptions or consult the brand or manufacturer for more accurate data. This can ensure that you obtain accurate and reliable information to help you choose the most suitable size and weight of underwear.
