Read moreHow To Properly Wash Organic Cotton To Avoid Shrinkage
Cotton has been around for a long time. Once a major cash crop back in the 18th and 19th century, this humble plant has been foundational to the textile industry. The breathable, natural fibers are coveted for its highly absorbent nature and gentleness on sensitive skin.
Since Eli Whitney revolutionized cotton processing with the invention of the cotton gin back in 1793, cotton has only continued to rise in popularity.
With a world calling for more chemical-free sustainability, organic cotton production has begun to emerge in answer to that call. A victory for those wanting to combine style with comfort and still be mindful of the environmental footprint.
Why You Should Choose Organic Cotton Undergarments
Organ cotton undergarments offer consumers the best of both worlds; breathability, better moisture management, cool comfort with a dash of ethical production thrown in for good measure.
Not just any cotton can make it onto the organic hall of fame. Farmers use only non-GMO untreated seeds, often heirloom varieties specially developed for organic cultivars.
Once planted, all fertilization, pest and weed management is done without the use of any toxic, synthetic chemicals or additives. Biological or more neutral methods like beneficial insects, natural fertilizers such as composts, manure are employed instead.
The total production standard is monitored and subjected to regular inspections and documentation before the right to be declared certified is given. Natural or low-impact dyes are used. From seed to finish, adherence to organic standards are strictly met.
With so much love going into producing a fantastic product, it is no wonder why organic cotton undergarments have gained such popularity. You can rest assured that the finished product can boast superior softness, exceptional breathability while being good for the planet.
Organic fibers are also naturally stronger and more durable than conventional cotton. With proper care, they tend to last longer. Free from any harsh chemicals, the finished product is less likely to trigger or irritate your skin.

Does Organic Cotton Shrink
Organic cotton, like its traditional counterpart, is susceptible to shrinkage. There is no way to avoid that but with a few tips to consider when it comes to caring for your beloved undergarments, this cotton quirk does not have to become an issue.
How To Wash Organic Cotton Properly
- Cotton products do well in cold water washes. Hot water will shrink the product and shorten the lifespan of the garments.
- Stick to mild or gentle detergents, free from harsh chemicals or artificial fragrances. Synthetic and harsh chemicals can degrade the material over time.
- Use the delicate cycle on your washing machine or gently hand wash instead. Avoid wringing them out as that can distort the shape and stretch out the cotton.
- Do not use fabric softeners as that coats the natural cotton fibers and affects absorbency and breathability.
How To Dry Organic Cotton Without Shrinkage
Hands down, air drying is best for organic cotton undergarments. They can be laid flat or hung to dry. Avoid direct sun as this can cause colors to fade over time.
If you want to use your dryer, opt for a low setting and remove them from the dryer while the fabric is still slightly damp. This way the garments are less prone to shrinkage while maintaining softness.
Once fully dry, fold neatly and store in a cool dry place to avoid unnecessary stretching and damage. It’s best not to hang organic cotton undergarments as that can eventually cause straps and waist bands to stretch over time.
There you have it. For the softness that hugs your body while keeping your skin feeling cool, fresh and pampered, organic cotton bras and underwear are an everyday luxury. With proper care, they can last well, maintain softness and quality. Not only can they be comfortably worn daily, you can also be confident that you are making a positive contribution that is helping the planet.
