Underwear. Everyone wears it, but did you know your undies may be doing you and our planet more harm than good?

We’re told to refresh our underwear every 6-9 months, so it comes as no surprise that we often resort to quantity over quality when purchasing new underwear. Lace, lycra, polyester and nylon are just a few of the synthetic materials our underwear is often made from, and depending on how sensitive you are to particular fabrics, these synthetic materials may not be doing great things for your delicates. 

Our discarded underwear also contributes to the 23 kilograms of clothing each Aussie sends to landfill every year. However, if you’re wanting to minimise this figure, we suggest opting for eco-friendly underwear that is not only better for your delicates but can also return to the earth (or rather, the compost bin) after use. Opting for natural materials like OKEO-TEX certified bamboo and GOTS certified organic cotton will do wonders for both you and the planet. It’s a win-win.

The Unseen Label, an Australia-based sustainable underwear brand, sends nudes. In eco-friendly packaging. Five different shades, to be exact.

The Unseen Label’s eco-friendly bras and underwear are made from a GOTS certified organic cotton, bamboo, and elastane blend; they work with OEKO-TEX approved dyes; their goodies are all wrapped up in recycled tissue paper and a non-toxic, biodegradable and compostable bio-cassava poly bag; and their parcels are sent off in either The Unseen’s own waxed-cardboard mailer bag or a compostable Hero Pack mailer bag.

Lela Lingerie



Eco-Friendly Underwear Brands For Your Sustainable Wardrobe



Location | Australia
Size range | 6-14



If the goal of eco-friendly Australian lingerie is to be cute and comfortable, then Lela Lingerie has it nailed. Every piece of the Lela Lingerie range is made from organic cotton; no nasty pesticides, insecticides, or toxic chemicals touch your skin, the skin of the cotton farmers, or our beautiful world. Not only will you love the classic, flattering designs so much that you’ll wear your Lela Lingerie until it’s completely worn out, but once it is, the natural fibres will break down easily into the earth. 

What’s more is the Lela Lingerie sustainably-made bras and undies aren’t just designed in Australia, they’re made onshore too. Felicity, Lela Linger’s founder, designs and manufactures her line in a small factory in Sydney, and regularly makes site visits, so she knows exactly what conditions her makers are working in. Love that for us.
