The Science of Healthy Comfort: Why We Believe in 100% Cotton Underwear

The Science of Healthy Comfort: Why We Believe in 100% Cotton Underwear

Dear Smalls Community,


Today, we want to dive into the scientific realm and shed light on why we are so passionate about offering 100% cotton underwear. It's more than just a fabric choice; it's a commitment to your health and well-being.


You may have heard it before, but it's worth emphasizing once again: cotton is the key to a healthy vulva. The vulva, a sensitive and delicate area akin to the lips on your face, deserves the utmost care and gentleness. That's where cotton comes in.


Let us explain the importance of treating the vulva with kindness. The most simple and gentle fabric to touch your skin? You guessed it — cotton. Not only does cotton provide a soft and comfortable sensation, but it also boasts a range of remarkable properties that benefit your intimate health.


One significant advantage of cotton is its breathability. Unlike synthetic materials like nylon and spandex, which hinder air circulation, cotton allows your skin to breathe freely. This breathability is crucial because it helps regulate moisture levels, reducing the risk of discomfort and potential health issues.


Cotton's absorbent nature plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy environment for your vulva. Vaginal discharge, similar to the natural moisture in your mouth, is normal and healthy. Cotton underwear gently absorbs any excess moisture, keeping the area dry and comfortable. This absorption helps prevent the development of yeast infections, which thrive in warm and moist conditions.


In contrast, synthetic fabrics trap heat and moisture, creating a prime breeding ground for bacteria. Nylon and spandex may offer alluring styles, but they compromise the well-being of your intimate area. At Smalls, we believe that your health should never be compromised for the sake of fashion.


By offering 100% cotton underwear, we prioritize your comfort, protection, and overall vulvar health. Our meticulously crafted designs not only provide a perfect fit but also harness the natural properties of cotton to create an optimal environment for your intimate well-being.


We understand that it's essential to make informed choices about the fabrics we wear closest to our bodies. That's why we're here to champion the scientifically proven benefits of cotton and offer you a collection of underwear that combines both comfort and style.


Join us in embracing the scientific side of underwear choice and prioritize your vulvar health with Smalls. We're here to provide you with the best of both worlds — underwear that cares for your body and lets your confidence shine.


With intellect and passion for your well-being,

The Smalls Team
