"Clean" underwear is the premiere choice for people with chemical sensitivities, and for those who choose to wear organics for health reasons.
A Canadian manufacturer stated: "it takes one-quarter of a pound of chemicals to produce one conventional bra, and one-quarter of a pound of chemicals to produce 2 pairs of conventional women's underwear." undefined

Organic underwear is primarily made of organic pima cotton, organic egyptian cotton, organic hemp, organic flannel, or organic bamboo. It is processed from raw fiber to spinning to knitting to cutting and sewing; never treated or contaminated with chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers, bleach, dyes, or
genetic engineering.
It is allergy-free !
Make sure that
the structure of the knit offers remarkable stretch and recovery without synthetic elastic yarns. The fabric should retain its natural strength and resilience creating a long-lasting pair of underwear or bra.
Some of the advantages of wearing
ORGANIC underwear is that the
fabric made from pure organic cotton, hemp, or bamboo inhibits bacteria, moisture, and odor better than any other type of "conventional" fabric.
Even better -- you won't have to worry about toxic chemicals in your underwear, constantly rubbing and wearing against your skin!
The underwear business is a BIG business, and there is BIG resistance to change from chemically-dependent processes to organic processes of clothing manufacture. The bottom line is demand. Manufacturers will do what the consumer dictates, and so the change to environmentally responsible, organic cotton clothing begins with you the consumer.
