Choosing silk panties starts with understanding the material, fabric weight, and fit. The silk label alone does not determine how a garment feels or how it fits during wear.
Mulberry silk is a natural silk fiber produced by silkworms that feed on mulberry leaves. It is commonly used in clothing such as underwear, bras, and sleepwear.
Silk products can vary depending on the silk source, fabric weight, construction, and design. These details help shoppers compare different silk underwear options more accurately.
For shoppers exploring different styles, FEELITS offers a range of silk underwear options, including its mulberry silk panties collection.
Understanding Silk Grades and Momme
Silk grades and momme describe different aspects of silk and should not be treated as the same measurement.
Silk grades describe how silk materials are classified. The meaning of a specific grade depends on the grading system being used.
Some FEELITS products list 100% Mulberry Silk or 100% 6A Mulberry Silk in their material information. The “6A” description is part of the product material details, while silk grading systems may vary depending on the classification method used.
Momme is different. It refers to silk fabric weight and helps shoppers compare lighter and heavier silk fabrics.
A higher momme number usually indicates a heavier fabric, but it does not automatically mean a better choice for every garment. The suitable option depends on the product design, fabric feel, and how you plan to wear it.
19 Momme vs. 22 Momme Silk Panties
The main difference between 19 momme and 22 momme silk is fabric weight.
FEELITS uses 19 momme silk in selected everyday underwear styles. Some products use 22 momme silk for shoppers who prefer a heavier fabric feel.
Neither option is universally better. A lighter silk fabric may suit shoppers who prefer a less structured feel, while a heavier fabric may appeal to those who prefer more fabric presence.
The choice depends on the underwear style and the fabric feel you prefer during wear.

Why Does Silk Feel Less Stretchy Than Cotton?
One common question from first-time silk shoppers is whether silk should stretch like cotton underwear.
Silk does not move the same way as underwear made with elastic fibers. Because silk has less stretch than many elastic-based materials, it may feel different from cotton underwear with added stretch.
This does not mean silk is designed to fit exactly like stretch cotton. Silk has different fabric characteristics, which is why choosing the correct size is an important part of finding a suitable fit.
Each FEELITS product includes its own size guide because different designs may fit differently.
Before ordering, compare:
- Waist measurement
- Hip measurement
- Bust measurement and cup size for bras
For shoppers choosing silk bras or bralettes, checking product measurements is especially important. FEELITS offers additional styles through its silk bralettes collection.
How to Choose Silk Panties
Before ordering silk underwear, pay attention to three areas:
Material Information
Check the product description for silk type and available fabric details.
Material information helps you understand what the product is made from, but it does not describe every part of the wearing experience. Fabric weight, construction, and design also affect how a garment feels.
Fabric Weight
Use momme as a reference for fabric weight rather than a simple quality ranking.
A higher momme number means a heavier silk fabric, but the best choice depends on the style and your personal preference.
Fit
Silk has different stretch characteristics compared with elastic-based fabrics. Comparing your measurements with the size chart provided for each product can help you choose a more suitable fit.
Avoid choosing only based on your usual cotton underwear size, as silk designs may fit differently.
For shoppers interested in coordinating silk pieces, FEELITS also offers silk sleepwear styles.
