Some of you have reached out inquiring about plastic-free (or very close) apparel I like in other categories that we don't sell, at least not yet. I love to see this becoming a plastic-free movement!
I thought it might be helpful to make a little list for you, so here it is:
Underwear for women
Inclusive nude (aka lots of different nude colors) lingerie line made in Los Angeles from tencel and organic cotton.
Woven cotton, non-restricting lingerie including cute pantaloons.
Knit cotton underwear, tees and cami's that remind me of what I wore in the 90's in the best way.
Beautiful knit merino lingerie
Featured in the photo. High quality hemp/cotton underwear with a little stretch.
Underwear for men
I love everything they so thoughtfully make including their organic cotton knit boxers.
Hemp boxer briefs which is naturally moisture wicking and anti-bacterial.
Cotton knit basics for men and women with a recycling program.
Activewear for women - stretchy sports bras and leggings
Made from pretty pioneering plant-based bio-materials like castor beans and algae.
Made from hemp and bio-based elastane
Organic stretch cotton dyed with food waste into beautiful colors.
Activewear for men
100% Merino shorts and tencel joggers.
Jungmaven is good here too.
There are few others but I'm not into them aesthetically. I'll keep an eye out for you.
Here are a few reasons why plastic-free underwear and activewear are important to your health and the health of our home planet:
- Synthetics hold odor even after washing. Go smell your things.
- Wearing synthetic underwear and bike shorts can cause men to stop producing sperm.
- There are BPA's in your favorite leggings and sports bras. Your sweat acts like a solvent and the BPA's disrupt your hormones and cause cardiovascular issues.
- Synthetic garments do not biodegrade.
- Most synthetic textiles are made via fracking which causes climate change. Here is a great report on "Fossil Fashion".
