I’m not big on pushing people to buy things… but if you’re already shopping, these are the swaps that actually matter.
I was talking with a friend recently about fabrics and how they impact our bodies (especially ones still growing). She’s been learning more about , , and , and she told me she wanted to start transitioning her kids into cotton… but she felt overwhelmed and assumed it would be really expensive to do it all at once.
Totally valid.
And honestly? Most of us feel that way when we first learn this stuff.
I reminded her that it doesn’t have to be a full overhaul to make a difference. Even one or two basics per person shifts exposure over time. And you don’t need fancy brands to start… , , , , and even some of the budget lines have 100% cotton options. GAP even carries organic cotton on sale pretty often.
I personally began making these changes gradually over a couple years. First I started with underwear since that’s a direct contact zone, and then last year I took advantage of ’s sale, and am looking to transition my to next. I also had cotton shirts made for my massage practice, since in Florida it gets pretty dang hot!
What matters most is swapping the pieces that sit on your skin the most: underwear, bras, socks, tees. Think heavy-sweat, heavy-contact areas. Little changes add up!
If you’re shopping this weekend, focus on the things that actually support your skin, lymph, and hormones. It doesn’t have to be perfect… just consistent.
