Do you offer 100% cotton period underwear?Updated an hour ago

We know some customers sometimes prefer 100% cotton for their underwear, so we want to share more info about why our gusset is made with a performance blend that includes polyester.

Why We Use a Polyester Blend Gusset: 

The gusset is intentionally designed to be:

• Highly absorbent 🧽

• Moisture-wicking 🏜️

• Leak-resistant  💧

While cotton is breathable and comfortable, it doesn’t have the performance capabilities needed to lock in moisture or provide reliable leak protection on its own for period underwear. The performance blend in our gusset helps ensure Saalt Wear works effectively for absorbing and locking-in fluid from periods, pee, discharge, and sweat to keep you amazingly dry and super comfy. 

Safety & Transparency: 

At Saalt, we wholeheartedly value the importance of transparency and safety when it comes to any product, but especially items that are as personal as period care. 

Is Polyester Safe? Polyester in and of itself is not an endocrine disruptor. However, some of the chemicals that are used in the production and finishing of polyester are known to be EDCs (PFAS in stain-release finishes for example!) Flame retardants, water-resistant coatings, and even some types of print inks all can fall into this category. We do not apply any of these finishes to any of the polyester fabrics in Saalt Wear, and we test for a range of restricted substances in all of our fabrics.

All Saalt Wear is made with materials chosen for performance, safety, and sustainability. Our period underwear is made without PFAS. Learn more here.
