Choosing organic cotton knickers
Organic cotton knickers are soft, breathable and easy to care for, which makes them a simple everyday swap. Look for a small amount of elastane, which helps them keep their shape and stay put. Komodo makes the briefs here in 95% GOTS organic cotton and 5% elastane, and AMOKA DALO makes boxer shorts in 100% organic cotton. Both brands were checked for their fabrics and how their underwear is made before joining Ziracle.
Lace briefs and classic briefs
Komodo makes the Paloma lace briefs in grey, with a lace trim for a softer look, and the Odette briefs in black and grey for everyday wear. GOTS certification covers the whole production chain, so it checks how the briefs are made as well as the organic cotton itself. A black and a grey pair cover most outfits, and plain briefs do not show under light trousers. Cotton breathes, so it suits everyday wear, the gym and warm summer days.
Matching bra and boxer shorts
Komodo makes the Anastasia bra in grey, in the same GOTS organic cotton and elastane blend as the briefs, so you can buy a matching set. AMOKA DALO makes the Santorini boxer shorts with hand-block printed blue and white stripes, and the Marguerite boxer shorts in a white and powder blue daisy print. Boxer shorts also work as sleep shorts on warm nights, and they make a fun present wrapped with a pair of socks. Check the size guide on each listing, as boxer shorts sit looser than briefs.
Caring for organic cotton knickers
Wash underwear at 30 degrees in a laundry bag, so lace and elastic do not snag. Dry flat or on a line rather than in the tumble dryer, which wears out elastane faster. Skip fabric softener, which can make cotton less breathable. Replace knickers when the elastic starts to go, and cut old pairs into cleaning cloths rather than throwing them away. Women's Socks has socks to match, Women's Pyjamas has pyjama sets, Underwear has more styles, and The sustainable underwear guide (the easiest swap in your wardrobe) explains what to look for.
