Organic is a hot word nowadays, from food on the table, to liquor on the bar, to paint on the walls, more of us are saying “no” to chemicals and “yes” to a more natural way of life.
Organic clothing is also becoming more popular. Items that come in direct contact with the skin, such as tee-shirts, undergarments, exercise and yoga apparel make a lot of sense particularly from a health standpoint.
Organic yoga clothing is made from cotton, hemp or bamboo that is grown without any pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. Organically-grown fibers produce yarn that is softer and more durable, and breathes easier against the skin.
These characteristics are especially important in yoga wear. High fashion and big brands are going green, too. Organic cotton, which makes up 95 percent of organic fabrics, is the driving force behind the trend. The look and feel of the clothes are so fashion-forward that many clients don’t even realize they’re buying organic.

“Care what You Wear” is an important campaign that “bans on the most toxic agricultural chemicals for made of what we wear”.
We consumer don’t want lies, we spend the money for pure cotton and it’s acturally not pure, we spent money for the more expensive organic cotton, who would be responsible for the potential problem about this kind of cotton fabric ?
Let’s see the official explanation of Organic cotton, which is cotton that is grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides from plants which are not genetically modified.
Organic Cotton
Organic cotton is a far superior alternative to chemical-laden conventional cotton.
More and more farmers around the world are growing cotton without costly, harmful chemicals. Their yield is high and the quality of the cotton they grow is equal to or better than conventionally grown cotton. Their methods support biodiversity and healthy ecosystems, improve the quality of soil and often use less water.
Growing organically takes more time, requires more knowledge and skill, and, at least for now, costs a bit more. But it is worth it since it doesn’t contain any hidden costs to our environment.
Even with shrinkage control, most cotton fabrics shrink druring the first wash, so it’s imperative to prewash them before sewing. When polyester is added to cotton, it doesn’t breathe well and tends to pill, so many consumers prefer the comfort of 100% cotton.
Most cotton fabrics can be laundered in the washing machine. They should be washed frequently, since they tend to absorb moisture and pick up dirt. Wash white itmes in hot water, medium colors in warm water and dard colors in cold water. Cotton will shrink more in hot water than cold, and fabric that’s loosely woven shrinks more than tighter weaves,
Items with embossed designs and inner construction such as lining and shoulder pads, should be dry-cleaned, Loose knits, lingerie and fabrics with special finishies might also benefit from dry-cleaning.
Cotton fabric has been cultivated for 7,000 years, and it seems to increase in popularity as modern technology blends it with other fibers and gives it special performance finishes.
Cotton fabric is popular because it’s easy to care for and comfortable year-round. In hot, humid weather, cotton “breathes.” As teh body perspires, cotton fibers absorb the moisture and release it on the surface of the fabirc, so it evaporates. In cold weather, if the fabric remains dry, the fibers retain body heat, especially napped fabrics.

As your most intimate friend, cotton underwear industry are developing though years. No longer viewed as just protective covering or a measure of personal hygiene, Cotton under pants have gone upscal and have to make a fashion statement as well.
Cotton panties are the favorite among many because they are light weight, comfortable and soft on your skin. It allows your body to breath and absorbing moisture, so you will be cooler. They are an excellent choice when you are working out or playing sports.
Other benefits of 100% cotton underwear are; easy to maintain, last a long time and are inexpensive. The panties absorb moisture and allow the area to breath. This reduces vaginal infections. In fact, many doctors highly recommend women to wearing loose fitting cotton fabric. This is because other materials and the dyes in the panties can irritate and create a good environment for infection.
Most pajamas are made of pure cotton and some rich people prefer the silk pajamas, which I will talk about next time. I often wear the cotton pajamas and I find there is some tips for choosing sleepwear, not all of them feels so cosy.
Don’t choose the one with complicated purfle or decorated in the neck, remember, the simplest designed, the better. That’s why people like silk pajamas better, since silk feels like you don’t wear them at all.
Don’t choose the color too glare to the eye. That may disturb your sleep somewhat.
Make sure it’s pure cotton, you know, there is many fake cotton items in the market to fool you around, you’d better feel with your hands and see the tag.
No evidence proves that cosy cotton pajamas would promote sleep, but I believe so, it works for me. Remember to change them every night, don’t be lazy to wash them frequently since it’s your second intimate friend except the underwear.
Cotton towel said to be containing a lot of bacteria after several monthes use, and needs to be changed every three monthes recommended. Cotton towel is kind of expensive if you care about the quality and feeling, a towel set for a family could cost you 100RMB, for a whole year, that would be 400RMB, that’s only counted based on one towel one time, but you at least need tow towels one time, since the face towel and the body towel had better been seperated. So the cost is high.
Why not cutting down the cost by washing the cotton towel once in a week, I mean, the careful wash using disinfector, but you still got other problems, it’s the feeling of the cotton towel, it becomes rough after long time daily use.
Cotton towel is something we would use everyday, our best friend. I don’t use the shower towel that can cover your whold body, because they are much more expensive. I wonder if there is other natural organic material that could replace cotton and can endure long time use.
