Avoid toxic azo dyes in apparel to protect your skin

Conventional apparel often uses toxic azo dyes, which are known carcinogens that can be absorbed through the skin and do not wash out of the fabric.

Choose safe fabrics and chemicals for underwear to protect health

The absorption rate of the genitals is the highest in the body, making the fabric and chemicals in your underwear particularly impactful.

Avoid non-organic cotton to prevent pesticide absorption in skin

Pesticides from non-organic cotton clothing can be absorbed and linger in the skin, acting as a reservoir for extended release, especially during periods of sweating.

Avoid moisture-wicking clothes with harmful forever chemicals

Many moisture-wicking fabrics are coated with endocrine-disrupting "forever chemicals" like PFAS and PFCs to make them water-resistant.

Balance EMF protection with chemical exposure in clothing choices

While some clothing uses silver to block EMFs, it may be embedded in synthetic fabrics that release other toxins, creating a trade-off between EMF protection and chemical exposure.

Separate laundry to prevent microplastics contamination

Washing polyester clothing with organic cotton items can cause polyester to shed microplastics that then embed into the natural fibers.
