Underwear is barely visible. But it is always there. It stays with us for hours every day. It has direct contact with our skin. It is a very sensitive area of the body. There, endocrine disruptors are especially relevant.
That is why, when we talk about underwear, we are not just talking about comfort. We are also talking about skin, breathability, movement, and how we relate to our bodies.
What are endocrine disruptors?
There has been a lot of talk about endocrine disruptors. They are substances that interfere with hormonal function.
According to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, these compounds mimic or block hormones. They can alter their action. They are in everyday products like packaging and cosmetics. Also in pesticides and flame retardants. Other consumer goods contain them. Exposure occurs through various routes. We eat, breathe, or drink them. And the skin also absorbs them.
It is not about living in fear or thinking we can control everything. But it is about making small changes where we can. And the clothes we wear against our skin every day are a good place to start.
Returning to natural fabrics
Skin breathes. And when a garment is made with a natural, soft, and breathable fabric, the body notices.
Choosing organic cotton underwear does not mean eliminating all exposure, but it does mean choosing an option that is kinder to the skin and more consistent with a more conscious way of living.
Natural fabrics prevent heat and moisture. They also reduce annoying chafing. This happens with tight garments. Or with materials that do not breathe well. In such an intimate area, this matters.
Better free than tight
In general, the body prefers to be free rather than compressed.
Underwear that is too tight can be annoying, leave marks, cause friction, and hinder breathability. And in the case of bodies with testicles, it is also important to avoid excessive heat in that area.
In bodies with a vulva, the idea is more linked to comfort, breathability, and reducing moisture or irritation. It is not about wearing a loose garment by obligation, but a garment that does not constrict. One that accompanies, but leaves space.
Our unisex boxers
The unisex boxers from Neu de Cotó were born from this idea. They are simple, comfortable, and designed for everyone. Created for all bodies.
Made with GOTS organic cotton, they are soft, breathable, and pleasant to the touch. They do not seek to transform the body or shape it, but to let it be comfortable.
An intimate garment that does not squeeze, does not annoy, and does not demand constant attention. It just accompanies.
Because sometimes that is what taking care of yourself is: choosing better what touches your skin every day.
Natural, comfortable, and free underwear. To dress yourself from the inside out with more calm.
