You Read Every Food Label. Have You Read Your Leggings?
Sarah M. thought she had her clean-living routine perfected. She bought organic produce, used non-toxic cleaning supplies, and switched to clean skincare. But one morning she had a realization: "I switched to organic everything — except what I was wearing 8 hours a day."
Her leggings. Like most of us, she'd been living in them. Working, running errands, lounging, even sleeping. It turns out, what's in our leggings is just as important as what's in our food.
5 Reasons Your Leggings Might Be Disrupting Your Hormones
If you've meticulously cleaned up your diet and home, it's time to look at the clothes you live in. Here are 5 reasons your leggings might be working against your wellness goals.
1. Your Leggings Are Likely Made of Plastic
That buttery-soft feel of most popular leggings comes from synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon — essentially plastics derived from petroleum. When you sweat, your pores open up, creating a direct pathway for the chemicals in these fabrics to be absorbed into your bloodstream.
Think about it: you wouldn't drink from a plastic water bottle left in a hot car, yet we wrap our bodies in plastic fabric and then exercise.
2. They Contain Hidden Hormone Disruptors
Many synthetic fabrics are treated with a cocktail of chemicals to make them wrinkle-free, stain-resistant, and stretchy. These can include endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) like BPA and phthalates, which have been linked to hormonal imbalances, fertility issues, and other health problems. These chemicals don't just sit on the surface — they can leach into your skin, especially with the friction and heat of daily wear.
3. The "Stretch" Comes at a Cost
That incredible four-way stretch we love? It comes from spandex — another synthetic material. For those with sensitive skin or a commitment to a fully non-toxic lifestyle, minimizing synthetic contact is key.
4. "Formaldehyde" Isn't Just for Science Class
Some manufacturers use formaldehyde-releasing agents to prevent wrinkles and mildew. Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen and can cause skin irritation and respiratory issues. It's a harsh chemical that has no place in a product that sits against your skin all day long.
5. They Lack Breathability, Trapping Toxins
Synthetic fabrics are not as breathable as natural fibers. This means they can trap sweat and moisture against your skin, creating a breeding ground for bacteria and preventing your skin from breathing and detoxifying naturally. This is especially important during a workout when your body is actively trying to sweat out toxins.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is PureWrap™?
What is PureWrap™?
PureWrap™ is our proprietary fabric technology. Instead of blending spandex directly into the fabric where it contacts your skin, we wrap the spandex fibers inside organic cotton and bamboo viscose fibers. This means you get the same four-way stretch and performance you expect, but with zero synthetic material touching your skin. It's the best of both worlds: performance and purity.
Are they really 100% non-toxic?
Are they really 100% non-toxic?

The fabric that touches your skin is 100% organic — a blend of GOTS-certified organic cotton and bamboo viscose. The small amount of spandex (10%) is completely encased within the organic fibers via our PureWrap™ technology.
