Low 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

Gap's organic cotton girls underwear is 100% organic cotton — no synthetic fibers. A solid mainstream choice. Gap does not have GOTS certification for all products, but organic cotton is a meaningful improvement.
