Gigi, great tip! I just purchased Wild Ginger's Curves program so I'll be using this tip right away. Sandra

Gigi, I have used the cotton t-shirts for lining myself, and even brought them for use in a lingerie sewing class I taught. It is a great solution! But it DOES matter whether it is 100% cotton or a blend.....you want the 100% cotton. The entire reason for using the cotton for the lining is to avoid the possibility of heat developing in the crotch area (sorry, can't be more delicate about this:)), which contributes to infections. Any of us who have had kidney, bladder, or yeast infections can tell you......no fun! I prefer to take the completely safe route and go with a totally cotton lining, even if it does not match the rest of the garment.

I usually make panties from cotton/lycra, and self-line the crotch. Cotton/lycra is about 95% cotton, and that seems fine. I wouldn't use 50/50 either, I agree with Shannon that comfort and health are more important than looks in this area!

I've worn the pair of panties where I used a 50/50 blend several times now and saw no difference in comfort at all - there is possibly less difference when the panty body is made of a synthetic. Of course, anyone who has problems with infections should use 100% cotton - probably for the entire panty to be safe.

I use t-shirts too for crotch linings.
