When transitioning into ethical fashion it’s so easy to get caught up in the pretty pieces that the world sees that we often overlook the lesser-seen pieces…like our undies.
But what we wear underneath our clothes is arguably the most important. I’ve talked about the importance of chemical-free and organic clothing before and that extends to our undergarments. These pieces directly touch our skin, our largest organ.
It’s important to protect our skin and our bodies from these chemicals by choosing sustainably and ethically made pieces.

6 Ethical Underwear brands:
1. Organic Basics
Organic basics is arguably the OG when it comes to ethical and sustainable underwear. As the name suggests they house numerous basics from sweaters, t-shirts, tank tops and of course underwear. Also as the name suggests their clothing is made from organic materials! Better for you and for the planet!
Everlane
Everlane has a small selection of gorgeous, everyday underwear. From bodysuits to bralettes to just about every style of underwear including bikini, high-rise hipsters, low rise hipsters, and thongs.
The best part is that all of the underwear is 3 for $27 which, trust me is way better than Victoria’s Secret’s 7 for $30 because these are made out of Supima cotton. Which, as we know, cotton is the absolute best fabric you want downstairs. Plus, no forced labor was used to make the undies! Score!
Girlfriend
Girlfriend is known for their workout clothes and size inclusivity. But they just launched a small underwear line that is mighty! They have different styles of bralettes and underwear for any occasion or style.
All of Girlfriend’s clothes are ethically made and sustainably made using organic and recycled materials and they even offer bundles to help you save money!
PACT
Using only certified organic cotton, these garments will make you feel like royalty. PACT refuses to use toxic dyes and pesticides in the production of their products making them not only safe for you but safe for the planet as well.
PACT offers women, men’s and children’s clothes but most notable for their incredibly soft and luxurious intimates.
This is a quality that you don’t want to pass on.
Knickey
Knickey is an amazing brand for several reasons. Other than using organic cotton in all their products, they also offer an underwear recycling program where you can send them your old underwear, from the brand or other, and they will recycle it! They’re also a very inclusive and body-positive brand that is reflected in their models which we love to see.
These are my top picks! Each is different and unique and offers something different from the rest. But they all share the same values for our planet and the people that live on it.
