Planet-Pleasing Panties

January 31, 2008

You feel sooo green in your hemp miniskirt, soy cardigan, bamboo baby T and Tencel shawl, but are those panties polyester, my dear?

Go all-natural (without going commando) with BuenoStyle’s line of organic cotton panties. Printed with the imperative: “Eat Organic,” and embellished with a pair of cheerful cherries, these briefs are made with 96 per cent organic cotton, and low-impact dyes, which are less harmful to the planet and you.

Naughty puns aside, why go organic with your undies? Well, for one thing, non-organic cotton is treated with chemical fertilizers and pesticides - and do you really want that stuff that close to you? On the style front, these drawers are designed to be narrow on the hips, to minimize bunching, and feature - talk about revolutionary - full-butt coverage to prevent riding up.

What the heck are you waiting for? Stock up at Granville Island Organix, 1812 Boatlift Lane. To order online, e-mail info@buenostyle.com.
