What Makes Hanro so comfortable?

Hanro is all about comfort - luxurious fabrics that feel like a second skin and streamlined designs to echo your body’s movement. From the silky feel of mercerized cotton to the fluidity of high-tech Tactel, all of Hanro’s intimate apparel is about feeling good.

Hanro is known about the world for their superior quality fabrics. The company’s reputation was built on its use of 100% pure mercerized cotton - a cotton so fine and lustrous it’s often referred to as ‘pearl’ cotton. Mercerization is a process that treats cotton thread to shrink the fiber and make the fabric stronger. During the treatment process, the yarn is kept under tension, giving mercerized cotton its silky luster and feel. Mercerized cotton gives you all the benefits of cotton - comfort and natural fibers - and more. Not only does mercerized cotton shimmer and feel like silk, it’s tear resistant, absorbs water, and is pre-shrunk.

In recent years, Hanro has taken comfort to new levels with their use of cotton blends and technology’s latest fabric innovations to accommodate the active modern lifestyle. Whether made from cotton stretch, Tactel, or mercerized cotton, every piece of Hanro’s intimate apparel is designed to move with you.

Hanro's men's products are cut generously. For the best fit, consult the Hanro size chart. If you are between sizes, you may want to consider the smaller one.

Also note that the cotton fibers are pre-shrunk during the mercerization process. So when purchasing Hanro cotton, you do not need to size up.
