Breastfeeding bra with organic cotton

Cotton (40%)

Cotton is currently the most popular natural fiber. Cotton fabrics and clothing are characterized by durability, breathability and do not irritate the skin. It often occurs in admixture with synthetic materials that add flexibility to it (eg elastane).

Organic cotton (38%)

Why prefer organic cotton products over classic cotton?

• conventional cotton cultivation has a negative impact on the environment and farmers
• cotton fields occupy less than 3% of the world's arable land, but consume about 25% of all insecticides and 10% of all herbicides
• chemicals that are banned in food production are used extensively for cotton cultivation
• cotton is one of the most genetically modified plants, especially to tolerate above-average doses of chemicals
• about half a kilo of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers are used to make one T-shirt and one jeans
• in the cultivation and production of organic cotton, the use of toxic chemicals that cause poisoning of agricultural workers and damage to the environment, as well as genetically modified organisms, is prohibited
• certified organic cotton farms strive to build a biologically diverse agricultural system and maintain soil fertility in a natural way
• organic cotton is grown alternately with other types of plants, farmers grow 70-90% of rain irrigation during cultivation
• organic cotton consumes up to 10 times less surface water resources
• organic cotton, unlike conventionally grown cotton, does not cause allergic reactions, so it is suitable for children, allergy sufferers, eczema and people with sensitive skin
• organic cotton products are easily degradable in nature and do not harm the environment

Polyamide (19%)

Polyamide is the name of a group of synthetic fibers. Like most man-made fibers, it is sensitive to high temperatures. Polyamide clothing is durable and dries quickly.

Elastan (3%)

Elastane is a synthetic material that gives your clothes flexibility and elasticity. Thanks to the elastane, the clothes hold their shape and do not pull out so easily. Clothing with elastane easily adapts to the shape of your body. Elastane also appears on the market under various trade names, such as Lycra or Spandex.

Sustainable materials

Oeko-Tex standard 100

Oeko-Tex Standard is a worldwide certification system for textile materials, the aim of which is to check the health safety of textiles. To obtain certification, the product must meet demanding quality criteria, in particular it must not contain any hazardous substances. The materials are tested by independent laboratories according to internationally standardized methods. For example, the content of heavy metals, pesticides, formaldehyde and many other substances is monitored. Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 is currently used by renowned textile manufacturers. Although it is not a certificate of BIO quality, from the point of view of the environment and health criteria, it is a shift towards higher quality textiles.

Eco washing organic cotton

Some recommendations for washing of organic cotton products:

• stains and worse soiled areas are first treated with an ecological product for stains, or soaked in advance
• organic cotton materials will appreciate washing in soap nuts - they remain soft and breathable. Natural soap flakes are also a suitable variant.
• recommended washing temperature 60 ºC
• for white linen we choose a product with ecological bleach (eg sodium percarbonate)
• we do not use fabric softener on natural materials, it settles on the fibers and reduces the absorbency of the fibers
• if other detergents are used, it is advisable to use a rinse aid for the final wash, which rinses the detergent residue from the material and thus keeps the laundry soft and breathable

These are only general recommendations. Usually the product also contains other textile fibers, so the authoritative instructions for treatment are always given on the product label.
