Moderate Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

Conventional underwear is made from synthetic fabrics (polyester, nylon, spandex) that shed microplastic fibers during washing and contain chemical finishes (PFAS moisture-wicking treatments, antimicrobial treatments). Underwear is in direct contact with the most sensitive skin areas. Organic cotton or merino wool underwear eliminates synthetic fiber exposure.

Why We Rated It This Way

Fruit of the Loom's cotton underwear is 100% cotton — no synthetic fibers, no microplastic shedding. However, conventional cotton is one of the most heavily pesticide-treated crops. For the safest option, organic cotton underwear is available.
