The Very Good Bra The Very Good Undies (Boyleg)
100% TENCEL body with a natural-rubber-and-cotton waistband and no leg elastic - zero synthetic fiber, fully compostable. Natural rubber means not latex-allergy safe.
The verdict: Plastic-free
A fully plastic-free everyday brief: the body is 100% TENCEL lyocell (wood-based, not petroleum), the waistband is organic cotton knitted with natural rubber for stretch instead of elastane, the thread is cellulose, and the loose boyleg has no leg elastic at all. There is no polyester, nylon, or spandex anywhere, and the whole garment composts. The one caveat is that natural rubber is a latex, so it isn't suitable for a latex allergy.
