12 Natural Bras That Look Great
Comfortable, Breathable and Beautiful.
The modern bra dates from around 1910 and was usually made from cotton or silk. However, from the ’50s polyester and nylon came into use for the mass-produced clothing market. Nowadays the majority of bras are produced from polyester or polyamide. In short, they are made using plastic, usually because cheap and easily available. Wearing plastic so close to the body results in sweaty skin, it isn’t breathable. Polyester and polyamide are both byproducts of oil and aren’t biodegradable.
Environmentally, natural bras are a much better option. Specifically, bamboo, organic cotton and silk are becoming more readily available to wear. Combined with a small percentage of elastane, they are strong and durable.
