Okay I spent money on new period underwear. this is a funfact i guess.

now i want to buy something not so useful

if anyone wanna order to u know here's 15% off
and i got free shipping which was nice
makes up for the import tax i know is coming

I'm still not so convinced about period underwear, because you have to exchange them every few years and then it's just 3 times more expensive than reusable cups and such. plus I feel like (since most tests either don't mention it or are more on the "maybe not" side), I think my period is too strong for them anyways - I mean I have to change maxi pads within 2 hours or else they leak - and that's with their leakproof gel formula

I honestly just prefer them at this point. They are comfy and not annoying like pads and tampons i don't fully trust lol and i used a cup for a while but i don't wanna go back to it

But im a lil bit sketch that the brand im trying now has sorta less... Takes less before u gotta change... Than the previous one. Ill probably keep using the old ones as well, lol, but not as much. Also these are seamless which is wonderful bc the seams have annoyed me a bit on the old ones.

I don't know, I just don't feel like they are really that great all things considered
plus, all the brands you can get here say that they can at most be washed with 30°, which I feel like might be not hot enough - and washing them hotter just reduces their lifetime by so much
I get the not trusting pads and such, believe me, the places I bled all over because I had a period too strong to be contained by a pad is just ridiculous
buuuut seamless underwear truly is a blessing!

I wash them in the washing machine at 40 (mostly 40, sometimes 60 bc i'm not the one putting on the wash lol) at the end of my period, and then I handwash\rinse them out until the water runs clear in cool water throughout and hang them to dry. idk how sanitary anything it, but it works well enough for me. I would not feel ok about throwing them in the washing machine like 1-3 times every month. In a washing bag ofc to reduce the wear and tear!

idk what the instruction are for the new ones yet. i sorta like that they use recycled fabrics and bamboo bc the other ones I have is close to only being plastic which was a negative back when i got them + i have one in organic cotton which i liked much more so i'm glad these ones aren't as plasticy.

yeah, I agree with the wear and tear, but sadly the temperature is not kind on the stitching, I've lost quite a few clothes to my dad putting the wash in too hot for them to handle
isn't bamboo worse than cotton though, because you need a lot of water and chemicals to make it a soft fibre for clothes? I feel like with everything no matter how well you try to do, you still have to chose a bad thing

, yeah bamboo is just viscose. there are no optimal choices indeed. at least bamboo is fairly light to grow as a raw material compared to cotton, but the viscose process is questionable indeed. and bamboo probably isn't as expensive anymore since it has become so popular so it might rival plastics a bit more.

i honestly have just given up on some fields like there's a limit of options in the first place. just choosing what's there at this point.

also i think i was lying, i'm checking the fiber content again and most of them are just recycled plastics. one of them is mostly bamboo but that one isn't seamless. at least they source responsibly i guess?

_

i don't think i've ever killed the stitching of my clothes. it's primarly washing elastics o on too high so they fry and my sweather turns white from overstretched elastics that never will be nice again (this is about a sweather i got from Weekday some years ago, and a shorts I had and loved that my dad murdered)

yeah that was it
that's what really kills me when it comes to the whole trend section of the sustainability movement, because a lot of people pretend like there's a universal perfect and sustainable switch everyone should and can make and then it's something like that and you're just like ... no, this is just a different flavour of not good, it's still not good though. (I seriously have my gripes with the sustainability movement because of that, because you ultimately just get shown that whatever you do, you're still doing it wrong and thus are still portrayed as the main issue, even though all the things that truly matter are just so far out of your reach.)

A few of the clothes I have have kind of elastic stitching I guess? Not cotton stichting for sure. And those that do are really old clothes and old cotton and wool will just become "dry" and break at some point. But a few weeks back I stole a 100% hemp (so the label says) shirt from my dad. He wouldn't have worn it, because on him it's half a size too big, so it just looks awkward (plus he hates the look of natural material, like that rough linen weaving pattern) and on me it looks properly oversized. So I'll try it out for a spin during summer, maybe it'll be comfy enough to compromise my usual style choices and wear it more.

Nylon/polyester thread ia frequently used as stitching, yes. It should hold longer than cotton thread but it probably have its criteria.

I love organic-cotton hemp mix materials ❤️ i have some yogawear in that. And i love the feel of thick linen ❤️ was considering buying a linen top yesterday from etsy and a new yogatop hehe but i haven't yet. I am trying not to spend a lot of money while under stress bc i usually end up buying things I dont need.

wait, there's sportswear in that material? because I didn't know it would come in slightly stretchy (the shirt I have is pretty stiff)
well, you know me, I'm a frilly shirts and ruffles person and you rarely find those in sustainable fashion (it's probably near impossible to achieve with the fabrics available)

with some elastics, but minimal. but like it's not as form-shaping as elastics in any way but that doesn't personally bother me

I'm really particular when it comes to fit. When I do sports (every blue moon), I prefer a tight fit, because I'm clumsy as hell and just hurt myself otherwise. Like with lose fitting shirts, I often manage to catch my arms/hands and with lose joggers, I often manage to get caught with my foot and fall. (I have no idea, I have terrible spacial awareness when it comes to myself. Like I can pack a suitcase tightly, I'm tetris master when storing away the shopping, but the second you ask me how much space I take up, I have no idea. Like I regularly still don't know if a surface is too small or way bigger than needed if I want to sit on it. I also have no feeling at all for how tall - or not, I'm world average - I am.
