The 5 Best Plus-Size Cotton & Modal Lingerie Sets for Ultimate Comfort

Introduction

Sexy lace and powerful shapewear have their moments, but the true foundation of a great lingerie wardrobe is built on everyday comfort. There’s a quiet, profound luxury in starting your day by slipping into a matching bra and panty set made from incredibly soft, breathable fabric. It’s a small act of self-care, a secret layer of comfort that carries you through even the longest of days.

For plus-size women, the search for that perfect comfortable set can be a challenge. We need a bra that provides gentle, wire-free support without sacrificing shape, and panties that stay in place without digging or rolling.

We believe that ultimate comfort should be the standard, not the exception. That’s why we’ve curated a list of the absolute best and softest plus-size lingerie sets made from cotton and modal—the undisputed champions of comfort. Get ready to find the everyday essentials you’ll never want to take off.

Why Choose Cotton & Modal?

• Cotton: This natural fiber is the gold standard for breathability. It’s hypoallergenic, durable, and wonderfully soft, making it perfect for sensitive skin and all-day wear.
• Modal: Known for its exceptional, almost unbelievable softness, modal (and its cousin, Tencel) is a plant-based rayon that feels cool to the touch and drapes beautifully. It’s comfort, elevated.

How to Care for Your Comfort Sets

To keep your cotton and modal sets feeling their softest, wash them on a gentle cycle with cool water. While they are more durable than lace or satin, air drying is still the best way to preserve the fabric’s softness and the elasticity of the bra band for the long run.
