Sustainable Hemp Underwear that Protects
Wama Underwear
This is a new one for me! I've loved seeing hemp used in some of my dresses and tees throughout the last few years, and they've held up incredibly well. With the rise in popularity of hemp as a fabric, I didn't even think of how great it would be used as an undergarment. However, it makes total sense with its beneficial properties, and I'm happy to see it used for these undies.
Why I Love Wama Underwear
Natural Health Benefits of Hemp: So how exactly does hemp help us protect our privates? Well, there are a few ways - Hemp is anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, and has anti-odor properties. It's also moisture-wicking because its porous nature makes it breathable and comfortable. So yeah… why wouldn't we see more underwear made from this excellent fabric?
Wears Well Over Time: Hemp fiber is one of the strongest and most durable natural fibers. It becomes soft when combined with other fibers, such as the organic cotton in WAMA underwear. Even after each wash, you will notice the fabric softening even more. It's also resistant to mold and UV light and retains color better than cotton.
Less Water, Space & Pesticides: Hemp beats other natural fibers when it comes to space & the use of water and pesticides. According to hemptraders.com, "Hemp can produce 250% more fiber than cotton and 600% more fiber than flax using the same amount of land". It also requires half the water used to grow cotton and doesn't rely on pesticides or herbicides to thrive.
GOTS Certified: This is one of my favorite certifications because of its transparency. With WAMA, you can feel confident in the hands that touch the product from material to manufacturing. China is one of the world leaders in hemp textiles, and the hemp/organic cotton blend used for the underwear is GOTS certified. The factories they have partnered with offer employees fair wages and quality working environments. WAMA even has a team member based out of China to oversee the entire production. Also - For my vegan friends, you will be happy to know they are PETA-approved!
Made for both Men & Women: Okay, since I've approved them, I will get a pair for Travis! He is very particular about his clothes but will be pretty happy with the Hemp Boxer Briefs. And don't you love when a brand has both men and women covered?!
Guaranteed You'll Love It: I don't know about you, but something about those words' satisfaction guaranteed' gives me confidence in a product. It shows they truly back up what they've created and gives you peace of mind before purchasing.
