What is the best soap to wash my underwear?
Clearly it is easier to wash our cotton underwear with soaps that are free of perfumes as these contain chemicals to remove dirt (enzymes) and at the same time chemicals to scent the clothes with fragrances that can cause irritation and allergies in the vagina.
Additionally, the use of these elements in the washing process of your underwear causes some damage to the ocean and marine life.

Organic cotton underwear is one of the most comfortable types of underwear you can buy. Not only does this type of underwear feel great against the skin, but it is also incredibly breathable and helps keep moisture away from the body. However when it comes to caring for it you should also keep a few recommendations in mind:
* Hand wash:
The best way to keep garments looking like new is to hand wash them along with a neutral soap, if you don't know why to use this type of soap, here we explain. If for some reason you can't wash your garments by hand, use the delicate program in the washing machine to prevent the fibers from weakening and wearing out faster than normal.
*Do not squeeze hard:
Squeezing these garments hard will only make them baggy over time, due to the fact that squeezing can deform them and in a wet state it is difficult for them to remember their original state along with their elasticity.
*Let them dry in the shade,not in direct sunlight:
Ideally they should be dried in the shade, so they take a little longer to dry, because exposing them to direct sunlight can wear out the colors and over time they look old and worn.
