Sustainability

All our products are made from TENCEL™ Modal, an amazing eco-friendly fabric that represents a milestone in the development of environmentally sustainable textiles. Made with wood pulp from sustainable tree farms, TENCEL™ are the most sustainable fibres around. A naturally sustainable and soft fibre that starts with the tree and ends with the softest fabric you’ve ever felt. Read more about our fabric here.

Being a B Corp Business (Benefit Corporation) is a great way to make a positive impact and create sustainable business practices that benefit both the company and the world. This type of business is certified by the non-profit B Lab and must meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability. Read more about it here.

We are officially a Climate Positive Workforce, meaning our carbon footprint of each employee is more than offset. Ecologi will invest our money into projects that remove more greenhouse gasses than our own carbon footprints put in. Each month Ecologi support a range of carbon reduction projects that are certified at the very highest level by Gold Standard and equivalent. Read more here.

We’re extremely proud to be partnered with Ecologi, an amazing initiative helping to take on the climate crisis in the form of planting trees and reducing our carbon footprint. For every order placed, we plant a mangrove tree in Madagascar, so far planting over 90,000 trees! Together we're planting a forest, reducing carbon, restoring wildlife habitats, and creating employment for local families. Read more about our tree planting here.

Care

We recommend washing in a net bag on a cool, 30-degree wash or by hand. Dry flat and avoid tumble drying.

There is no one-size-fits-all option when it comes to how often you should replace your underwear. However, as a general rule of thumb, we'd recommend replacing your underwear every six months to a year. Read our blog here.

Our knickers are made from 95% biodegradable TENCEL™ Modal, meaning everything but the lace can be composted! To dispose of your underwear, simply cut off the lace trim and put in your compost. Your knickers will fully revert to nature and biodegrade within 180 days.
