That's why it includes men's underwear made from natural and eco-friendly fabrics in its collections , like the ones we present below. Discover the benefits of dressing sustainably!

Sustainable underwear: natural and ecological fabrics

Although recycled materials, such as cotton, may come to mind when thinking about sustainable textiles , there are several fabrics that can be used, especially in the manufacture of underwear, to promote responsible fashion. Organic cotton, bamboo, and rayon are some examples:

Organic cotton

Organic cotton is characterized by being grown in fields without pesticides, chemical fertilizers , or other toxins. This prevents these active ingredients from harming our skin, which can absorb them and introduce them into the body. In this sense, Abanderado's Ecosmart collection is made with organically grown cotton, free of toxic dyes or chemical additives. A clear benchmark in sustainable men's underwear.

Bamboo

Bamboo fiber is made from the pulp of the stem of this plant and is bleached without chlorine or any other chemicals. It also requires much less water than other sustainable and eco-friendly fabrics and is antimicrobial and hypoallergenic. A good example of sustainable underwear made with bamboo is Abanderado's Sensitive line , which is ultra-soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic. If you're looking for underwear that's gentle on your skin and provides maximum comfort and support, the boxers and briefs in this collection are thermoregulatory and guarantee a feeling of freshness all the time.

Rayon or viscose

Rayon or viscose, also known as Tencel , is one of the most environmentally friendly fibers. It is characterized by its softness and antibacterial properties. This sustainable fabric is also highly durable and versatile . This makes it perfect for summer, thanks to the great feeling of freshness it provides. At Abanderado, you can find undershirts made from Tencel as part of its Ecosmart eco-friendly approach . Ropa interior sostenible de Abanderado hecha en España

Benefits of sustainable fabrics

Wearing sustainable underwear made from environmentally friendly fabrics benefits our body, health, and skin due to all of the following characteristics:

Quality : Sustainable fabrics do not contain dyes, chemicals , or other products that can damage the fibers. This is why their quality is excellent.
Durability : This quality also translates into durability. There's no doubt that underwear made with sustainable fabrics stays in good condition much longer.
Softness : Sustainable fabrics are gentle on the skin, especially on skin as delicate as that of the intimate area. Since they contain no toxic additives, they prevent irritation and other damage that synthetic garments can cause.
Breathability : Sustainable fabrics offer better breathability , as they are made with natural fibers that our bodies accept perfectly.

Likewise, there are countless advantages to choosing responsible fashion for the planet and the ecosystem. Textile production with synthetic fibers negatively impacts the environment by exacerbating climate change, consuming large amounts of water, and generating chemical and plastic pollution.

Tips for buying and wearing sustainable underwear

When purchasing sustainable underwear, it's important to know how to identify garments made with environmentally friendly materials and practices. To do so, follow these recommendations:

Identify whether a fashion brand is sustainable by looking at the certifications on its garments. Textile Exchange, Made in Green, PETA, CAAE, Blue Sign, and GOTS are some of the main sustainable labels. At Abanderado, for example, the Ecosmart collection features the GOTS organic cotton label.
Check the label to see what recycled material has been used.
Check values such as compostability (the garment's ability to be composted) and biodegradability (its decomposition will not result in polluting waste).
Opt for sustainable underwear made in Spain and support local production.

On the other hand, consider these tips for dressing sustainably , beyond opting for responsible fashion:

Reduce consumption and think about the clothes you really need to buy.
Extend the lifespan of your garments and opt for natural fabrics that provide greater strength and durability.
Wash clothes when they are really dirty , at 30º and with sustainable detergents.
Recycle clothes you no longer use by choosing containers and stores where you can donate them.
Choose brands committed to sustainable fashion, such as Abanderado , which produces sustainable underwear with materials such as organic cotton and bamboo fiber.

Abanderado 's commitment to the environment begins at the beginning of the production process, with the use of sustainable fabrics, and extends throughout the entire value chain. Therefore, remember that by purchasing and wearing Abanderado underwear, you are not only investing in quality, but also in environmental protection .
