One the things more and more people are looking for these days is sustainably-made, quality clothing. While it may seem nice, particularly for your budget, to buy an “inexpensive” top or skirt, the actuality is these options are not inexpensive at all. Such fashion trends tend to use valuable resources, non-sustainable materials and unethical production practices. Due to the quality of such products, you’ll end up having to buy new clothes way more often and end up spending more money in the long run. Plus, as finite resources get used, the planet is the one ending up paying the cost. 

This is why companies like Net Positive should be on your list of retailers to frequent. This company not only manufactures quality intimates, but it does so through biodynamic farming and the use of organic, sustainable materials. It’s comfort and sustainability all in one. 

It’s for this reason, we decided to check out Net Positive ourselves to see what the hype was all about…please note, in the interest of transparency, Net Positive did provide us with a few pairs of their sustainable underwear to check out and review. But the reviews and viewpoints are solely our own.

Benefits of Opting for sustainably-made products

One of the benefits of opting for sustainably-made products is you are speaking up for, and doing your part to protect, the environment. You are saying you don’t want poorly-made products or those made from unsustainable sources. You’re saying it’s fashionable to support long-lasting clothes and you know it.

The more people opt for ethically-sourced and sustainably-made products, the more manufacturers are going to have to produce these types of products. 

In addition, sustainably-made products don’t require the use of limited resources. There is no long-term harm caused to animals, nature or the environment in which we live. 

This is why you should support companies who are committed to environmental stewardship, ethical production practices and the use of organic materials. Look for those who strive to not only minimize their impact, but work to create a better environment. 

Healthy Fabrics

When it comes to your undergarments and intimates, you want to ensure you are wearing the highest quality products. Why should anything else be put directly against your skin? You want soft and sustainable, with no harmful chemicals and no harsh toxins…just organic, healthy fabrics.

Net Positive offers a variety of such fabrics including Organic Egyptian Cotton, Hemp, Organic Ribbed and Recyclable Lace.

Their products are also naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic, which is ideal for everyone, especially those with sensitive skin

Net Positive Underwear Product Review

For our product review, we decided to order a few pairs of their underwear (two mid-rise briefs and one high-rise brief) and one keyhole bra. Each of these products was made with organic cotton and hemp, which makes them very soft and naturally breathable. 

Cassidy tried out a pair of the underwear and the bra. She really liked the bra and thought it was quite comfortable. She thought the underwear was comfortable, too, but didn’t like the fit as much. However, she would be open to trying other styles, though, because it seemed to be a good quality product. The sustainability factor was also important to her and she appreciated the products being sustainably-made. 

Veronica really liked the feel and texture of the underwear she tried! Her only wish was that Net Positive would offer larger size options. She said if larger sizes were available she would LOVE the products. 

As for me, I agree with both Cassidy and Veronica. The underwear was quite comfortable. It also held up well in the wash and was definitely more breathable than some of my other undergarments. I truly appreciate a sustainably made product and love the fact these products are naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic.

I too wish they had larger sizes available. The size guide shows they have XS through 4X, however the individual items only allow you to choose from an XS through an XL. 

Packaging:

I actually loved the packaging for my order. It all arrived in a relatively small box, so no space was wasted. There were no extra fillers, just each of the pairs of underwear individually-wrapped so as not to get contaminated or exposed to other materials during shipping. 

It also came with a nice thank you card and information sheet on why it’s good to wear hemp.
