15 Organic Lingerie Brands for All Bodies
Organic and ethically made intimates
Eco-friendly, renewable and ethically made intimates
We’ve pulled together a list of size-inclusive, sustainably and ethically made intimates to fit all budgets and bodies. We’ve attempted to source almost all organic options, and will note when specific brands are not organic.
Organic Basics | Sizing: XS-XL
Organic Basics puts sustainable thinking at the center of everything — that means they only choose fabrics that care for the environment and they only partner with factories that care about their impact, too. The brand designs everything to last: that means investing in quality fabrics and workmanship and designing with simplicity and function in mind.
Pansy | Sizing: XS-XXXL
Pansy is an organic cotton underwear company born from a need for comfy, dreamy and ethical undies, their organic cotton is grown and milled domestically and their underwear are designed and sewn locally in California since 2013.
Parade | Sizing: XS-3XL
CEO of Parade, Cami, grew up going to the mall, seeing supermodels blown up on storefronts and thinking: this is what it means to be sexy. For too long, underwear has been about restricting us to a flat pink surface, but now we know that’s just one glint in the sea of self-expression. Parade believes that sexiness isn’t one-dimensional—it’s a voice, it’s a feeling, it’s a technicolor mirror that reflects whoever is holding it. Parade underwear is soft, breathable, and made of recycled fabrics (they’re Oeko-Tex certified, meaning they’re free from harmful chemicals that pollute your skin and our waters.) that are good for your body and the environment. The brand donates 1% of profits to Planned Parenthood and their packaging is compostable and made of 100% corn starch.
Allbirds | Sizing: XS-XL

Brook There | Sizing: XS-XXL
From day one, ethics and sustainability have been at the heart of Brook There’s business model.

Their fabrics are organic and products are made in the US.
Naja | Sizing: XS-2Xl

Cuup | Sizing: 30A-38H and xs-xxl
CUUP is on a mission to redefine the way women look and feel in their underwear. The brand was created to challenge antiquated standards with elegantly engineered solutions. They threw out a century-old sizing system and made measurements on real bodies and challenged the notion that sensuality is anything other than a self-defined state of being. We note that CUUP does not mention sustainability or ethical production on their website, but recognize that oftentimes there are not enough sustainable options for all sizes. We do hope that the brand will commit to these values in the future. *Not organic.
