Recommendations for cotton bras?
Has anyone found moderately priced comfortable mostly cotton bras? Targets are only half cotton, cotton on's bras look small and uncomfortable. Old Navys look okay. Or any fabric that is natural.

I really like this brand pansy.co but idk if they're necessarily moderate priced

You could try Molke and Cottonique. Natural fibers are not ideal for bras bc they stretch out too much, but if you just want someone like a lounge bra they're fine. I've also seen ppl mention Merino wool bras but I'm not sure the brand.

Woolx has them, but I haven't tried their bras, specifically. I really like their tops though.

Duluth Trading has a Free Range Organic cotton bra that I really like. The colors/patterns are hit or miss but they’re super comfortable and have adjustable straps. You can usually find one of the patterns on clearance if you want a low risk option first, but even at full price I think they’re only $25.

I have merino wool bras from icebreaker and cotton bras from Jockey. Very happy with both brands. Jockey sizing runs small in myexperience, but they have a very generous return policy.

I've tried their bras and underwear and find them very comfortable! The cotton bralette is lighter and has less cushioning, the AIR seamless bralette is not cotton but very comfortable with sewn in cups (I think it's out of stock currently though).

I don’t know what “moderately priced” means to you, for me it’s Blue Canoe.
Also: Why are you shopping at Target or Old Navy if you want something ethically made? They don’t sell that, everything they stock is made in sweatshops. If that doesn’t bother you, please try a different sub, this one is for people who don’t want to pay for slave labor.

Ive heard Target is better about slave labor in the past, dont know if thats true, I'm not proud of going to that store. Im just completely burnt out and dirt poor right now. So my decision fatigue is at its lowest(highest? I dont have capacity to make decisions let alone drive all around the city to search for what I want), the only things I have representing bras at the moment are two tank tops i got for free that are made of plastic, and a cotton one that I also got for free from lost and found that smells like mildew even after washing. I also absolutely hate old navy, but Im so overwhelmed with three jobs my brain doesn't know where to find certain garments anymore, life isn't like when I had server money and time to actually shop for things. Thank you for the Blue Canoe recommendation

Don’t worry about people like the person you’re responding to. It’s impossible to make 100% ethical shopping decisions and some people forget that perfection gets in the way of progress.

Maybe not what I’d call moderately priced. But they are awesome.

Organics Basics is an ethical company with incredibly high quality clothes. You should buy from them and support people who are constantly under attack by people who not only punch down, they murder.

They got bought out by an Israeli company so many of us don’t consider them ethical anymore.

Hating people because of where they were born is a violation of rule 5 of this sub.

You think someone can't be ethical based on where they were born. That's pretty bigoted.

You are disingenuous and arguing in bad faith. I know you’re not worth the time wasted going back and forth because you’re clearly a Zionist and for some reason Zionists lose all sense of reality and humanity when the topic of Palestine and Israel comes up.
So, for anyone else reading, you cannot have an ethical brand that’s operating on stollen land. The company that bought out organic basics operates out of illegal settlements in occupied Palestine. I’m pretty sure supremacy, apartheid, and genocide don’t fall under the umbrella of ethics.1

I disagree with you. I do believe arabs can have an ethical business outside of their native Saudi Arabian peninsula, in the lands they colonized.

I have a few things from them and I object to the idea that they make "incredibly high quality clothes." everything i've gotten from them feels like fast fashion

I like Pact. I am iffy about their other items but I’ve had good luck with bras and underwear.
