The Horrifying Truth About Synthetic Fabrics

It's time to toss the synthetic fabrics. Today I will share the latest steps I have taken with my family to reduce our toxic exposure and surround ourselves with fabrics that are comfortable, healthy, and good for our bodies.

The chemicals in synthetic fabrics include BPA, PFOA, formaldehyde, and more. They are known to cause cancer, and reproductive issues in both men and women. Other health conditions that these chemicals have been linked to include thyroid dysfunction, asthma, skin irritation, and more.

The first stop on our fabric detox is removing all the polyester sheets. We spend 1/3 of our lives in bed, blankets up around the face, and covering the body, so this was a must for us. A couple of the kids already had one set of cotton sheets, but the bulk of their bedding was polyester. I landed on an organic cotton set for each from Amazon. They are extremely comfortable, with a decent price point, coming in many colors. They also added an extra layer of peace for me, with the organic seal.

Next, we focused on removing all clothing 50% or higher in polyester. As we bring in new items, we will make sure they are made from natural fibers, but this was a great jumping-off point for getting started and a very efficient way to minimize my wardrobe. The items that I lean toward now are cotton and linen. While many are thrited, I will link a few below that I love.

I have recently transitioned most denim to Levi's and I love these 100% cotton, but size up. Full cotton doesn't give like I was used to in my previous jeans.
