None of these are affiliate links.

#1 Allbirds Women's Natural Legging because it contains 43% Tencel™ Lyocell, 30% Recycled Nylon, 18% ZQ Merino Wool, 9% Elastane. The wool is anti-itch approved by me as well!

#2 Girlfriend Collective because their entire collection uses recycled polyester, they promote sustainability, and have their own clothing recycling program through their website called ReGirlfriend. Additionally, their sizes range from XXS to 6XL, which is amazing!

#3 TomBoyX entire line of undergarments made of TENCEL™ Modal! They are super soft (I own a few pairs) and they whole company is gender neutral! So their underwear fits a variety of body types!
