If You Do One Thing This Month….Try Ethical Knickers!

January 15, 2010 by  

It’s January, the month to make resolutions – and the month to break resolutions (which is why I make mine in February). We know how tough it is to keep New Year’s resolutions, so we thought we’d suggest one we’re sure you’ll keep!

Wonderful Ways With Wood!

As a child I remember learning how to make recycled paper – it was a messy business and quite honestly it didn’t produce anything worthy of using a pen on. Whizz forward a few decades and recycled products have hit big business.

Of all the recycled products I’ve come across this has got to be one of the sexiest: recycled pine-tree fibre lingerie – made in France. This incredulous-sounding product is so appealing I’m willing to do pretty much anything to get my hands on it. Among its attributes g=98 lingerie boasts temperature-regulating comfort and cashmere softness – not necessarily what we’d expect to hear from a Pine tree.

At a pretty reasonable 28 Euros for a sexy shorty, I’m pretty much hooked. And as the shorty skips its way into my shopping cart, I’m finding myself clicking on ‘continue shopping’ as I wistfully look at the equally reasonable leggings!

Comforting Cotton

Silk and Organic Cotton at Greenfibres

No matter which lingerie personality you are, there’s sure to be a pair of comfortable cotton knickers filling a cosy place in your lingerie drawer. I recently discarded my old favourites and am still waiting to fill the void they left.

After much searching these rather lovely (in a comforting way) and simple silk and organic cotton knickers (£23.99) at Greenfibres attracted my attention. In terms of price they aren’t going to satisfy those who normally go for a five pack at the supermarket, but you can always treat yourself to one pair to go alongside your regular-priced cotton pants (for these try Gossypium, priced around £3)!

Sensational Silk!

Violet Haze by Enamore

It goes without saying that when we talk ethical, we have to mention Enamore: cute, flirty and downright sexy, Enamore show no signs of slowing down when it comes to lingerie. We loved their Bedrock collection, and this season their Violet Haze shorts (£42) are not only ticking the ethical boxes, they’re bang on with colour, style and of course fabric. Unless you have a kind wallet, these aren’t going to be your everyday knickers; but considering they’re made to order and made of silk and English lace (all ethical of course), the price tag seems tame compared to some!

With something to suit pretty much everyone (remember those Gossypium £3 knickers at ByNature), we’re sure a New Year’s resolution like this is going to stick – after all, the great thing here is: no withdrawal is needed!
