Sustainable underwear- check out this article from the ethical consumer about the dos and dont’s of updating your underwear.

Key factors to look at when buying underwear:

Fabrics: Assessing the use of organic and Fairtrade materials and the environmental impact of different textiles.
Workers' rights: Evaluating labour practices to ensure better conditions throughout the supply chain.
Longevity: Considering the durability of products to promote longer use and reduce waste.
Secondhand options: Exploring the availability and benefits of preloved underwear as a sustainable choice.
Price and sizes: Reviewing the affordability and inclusivity of brands in terms of pricing and size range.
What to look for:

Is it organic and fair trade? Organic and Fairtrade cotton avoids the harmful environmental impacts of conventional cotton and oil-based fabrics and guarantees production without forced labour.

Is it pre-loved? Secondhand doesn’t have to mean pre-worn or worn out. There are many barely worn bras and unworn knickers out there looking for a home.

What to avoid:

Ignore recommendations to buy new underwear every six months and see how long you can make it last.

If it’s made from oil-based fabrics such as polyamide and polyester, these have a high carbon footprint and release microplastics when washed.
