Six cheap sustainable underwear brands

When shopping sustainably, the number one rule is to buy less overall. But there’s one clothing category where this rule can be a bit more difficult to live by: underwear.

Secondhand underwear probably doesn’t sound very attractive for hygienic reasons, so to help you and your butt live a more sustainable life, Stitch Up! has rounded up our favourite affordable sustainable underwear brands.
