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
Carter's cotton underwear is 100% cotton — no synthetic fibers. A solid mainstream choice. For the safest option, organic cotton underwear (Hanna Andersson, PACT) is available.
