include leggings from Athleta, Champion, Kohl's, Patagonia, sports bras from Sweaty Betty, athletic shirts from Fabletics and shorts from Adidas, Champion and Nike.

Previously, the CEH warned consumers in October that sports bras from Athleta, PINK, Asics, The North Face, Brooks, All in Motion, Nike, and FILA that were tested for BPA over a six months period showed the clothing could expose wearers to up to 22 times the safe limit of BPA

The group had also tested athletic shirts in October from brands that included The North Face, Brooks, Mizuno, Athleta, New Balance, and Reebok and found similar results.

To date, the watchdog said its investigations have found BPA only in polyester-based clothing containing spandex.

"have found BPA only in polyester-based clothing containing spandex."

once you go organic cotton, you dont go back. But it takes years to transition out of your old wardrobe of clothes.

even conventional cotton is grown with gmo seeds which must be sprayed heavily with roundup/glysophate.

or buy used clothes at 2nd hand stores, from a generaation of clothes before market got saturated with monsanto poison and chinese and indian microplastic forever chemicals.

There are three engineered natural fibers that you should consider.
Bamboo
Tencel® (eucalyptus)
Modal® (beech)

Avoid polyester.

Wow. I have a bunch of Modal tee shirts that I've worn a lot for at least 5-6 years and they still look pretty good.
I never put them in a clothes dryer, though.

I know a dude who says his pecker got infected from a new pair of shorts. He is taking antibiotics to try and clear it up.
LOL, of course I've been giving him shit about catching the monkeypox from queer niggers. HAHAHA

That’s fucked. Probably some illegal spic rapist tried the shorts on without underwear and placed it back on the rack.
