10 Sustainable Underwear Brands That Make You Feel Comfortable In The Body You're In
Nothing quite compares to the liberating feeling of the wind blowing through your hair, until WOOSH, your skirt flies up and everyone within an entire city block radius has seen your undies. We’ve been there, and it is mortifying. However, knowing that they’re especially cute (and hole-free ofc) can help lessen the blow. Underwear needs to be replaced relatively often and isn’t recommended to obtain secondhand, so when it’s time to trade up your high school undies for a fresh new pair, where does one go? Let’s explore some of our favorite sustainable and sexy underwear brands:
1. Woman-owned La Coochie makes underwear from organic and responsibly-made cotton. Their styles are fuss-free, simple, and sexy, and their patterns suit a range of tastes. Use SUSTAINABLEBADDIE for 10% off your order!
2. Okko, is an Asian American woman-owned brand focused on making undergarments that will literally last a lifetime. For the pairs that don’t (because sometimes they don’t) Okko has a recycling program where you can send your old (but clean) undies to receive store credit to restock on these essentials. Use code BADDIE10 for 10% off your purchase.
3. Bota Undergarments - Founded in Calgary, Canada by two sisters, Bota products are meant to be better for both your body and the planet.
