Even though prices of USA-grown organic pima cotton have greatly increased in recent years, we have resisted increasing prices on our organic pima cotton underwear, opting instead to absorb the increased costs ourselves without passing them on to our customers. However, prices have continued to rise at a dizzying clip, and we are now forced to modestly increase our prices to keep up with raw material and labor costs. We will try to keep prices as low as possible on quantities of 6 or more. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for choosing organic. Our supplier (Clean Undies) does not actually take a single cent of profit out of his business (he opts to earn money from other work); instead, he has been putting any profit back into production so as to keep prices as low and affordable as possible and to make organic cotton basics as widely available as possible.
Sizes:	XS = 28" – 29" S = 30" –31" M = 32" – 34" L = 35" – 38" XL = 39" – 42" XXL = 43" – 46"
Colors:	Ecru Natural: unbleached & undyed.
Care:	Our Organic Cotton Briefs are machine washable with like colors as you would other knit cotton products (mild biodegradable detergent is best). We recommend line drying your organic briefs as the dry heat from drying machines are hard on elastics and natural fibers. No bleach, except for oxygen-based or hydrogen-peroxide-based whiteners.

Product Description:

The Organic Pima Cotton Briefs have an organic cotton-covered elastic waistband so your skin doesn't touch the waistband elastic — per many customer requests. The original Organic Cotton Briefs, in contrast, feature a classic exposed elastic waist band.

The Organic Pima Cotton Briefs have a relaxed (wider) leg opening and a deeper accommodation at the crotch and all in all feature a more relaxed cut than the original Organic Cotton Briefs, which are cut fitted for optimal crotch support for the more active lifestyle. The relaxed leg opening of the Organic Pima Cotton Briefs is particularly noteworthy for customers who have thicker thighs (we've had lots of requests from football players especially for a more relaxed leg opening on this account).

The Organic Pima Cotton Briefs feature a slightly stretchier organic cotton jersey fabric than the original Organic Cotton Briefs for a smoother, more relaxed feel. Incidentally, we made our new Organic Pima Cotton Briefs from the same lush organic pima jersey that we use to make our best-selling line of organic pima cotton underwear for both men and women.

Like the original Organic Cotton Briefs, the Organic Pima Cotton Briefs feature a front fly and are mindfully made, with loving attention paid to minute details which makes all the difference when it comes to quality intimates.

Conventional Cotton Underwear (why it is bad):

• Conventional cotton underwear is processed with chlorine bleach. Formaldehyde is also applied in the processing of the fabrics.
• Dioxin is a carcinogen derived from chlorine bleach and is responsible for hormone disruption.
• Conventional dyeing process also has heavy metals that contain harmful carcinogens.
• Conventional cotton production accounts for more than 10 percent of pesticides used and nearly 23 percent of agricultural insecticide sales.
• It takes one-fourth of a pound of chemicals to produce one conventional cotton T-shirt and one-fourth of a pound of pesticides to produce 2 paris of men's conventional boxer shorts.
• Cotton pesticides can enter the human food chain via cottonseed oil used in processed food. The meat and dairy products from cows fed cottonseed meal, trash from cotton gins, and cotton straw may also contain pesticides that were applied to the conventional cotton plant.
• Contamination of ground water is directly linked to pesticide & fertilizer use on conventional cotton crops. Nitrates found in these fertilizers are found to cause "blue baby syndrome" in infants.
• Use of chemicals in processing makes the fibers weaker and there more prone to wear out faster.

Why buy Organic Cotton or Hemp Underwear? (why it is good for you and the environment):

• Organic cotton cultivation does not use any synthetic fertilizer or pesticide.
• Growing the crop organically does not damage the soil, environment, or human health.
• Organic cotton farming does not poison farm workers or their families.
• Organic certification organizations will not allow genetically modified (GMO) fiber to be labeled organic, there certified organic cotton underwear products are GMO free.
• Purchasing 2 organic cotton men's boxers will eliminate one fourth of a pound of chemicals that would be used to produce the same underwear using conventional cotton.
• Buying organic underwear, clothing, and home products will go a long way in helping to reduce the "blue baby syndrome" among infants, among other health and environmental afflictions.
• Organic cotton is stronger because there is no damage to the fiber from conventional cotton chemical processing.
• Because you -- and we -- care about what happens to our environment and future generations.
