Let’s face it- Valentine’s Day isn’t really about the romance anymore- it’s about the chocolate, the Hallmark cards, and of course, the sexy lingerie. But sexy and sustainable aren’t mutually exclusive- in fact the most sexy skivvies are the ones that are so organic and natural they feel like a second skin. Here are a few tips to green your boudoir attire…
ENAMORE SOY AND SILK LINGERIE
Enamore the sexiest of sexy underthings, made from sustainable materials such as hemp, organic cotton, silk, and soy. We love their coquettish black and white Jezebelle collection.
MYA RECYCLED PINE UNDERTHINGS
Can you believe these sexy undergarments are made from recycled white pine-tree pruning? As soft as silk with the feel of cashmere, these sustainable skivvies, which are made in a small village in France, will take you ‘back to nature’ in no time.
(why does the UK have the market cornered on eco-undies?)
AMERICAN APPAREL ORGANIC COTTON LINGERIE BASICS
For us Yanks, American Apparel is a great go-to for simple, wearable eco undergarments, all cut to perfection in the softest of organic cottons. American Apparel’s Sustainable Edition uses un-dyed, organic cotton that’s incredibly soft and makes for great cotton basics against your naughty bits.

GREEN KNICKERS EAT ORGANIC PANTIES
They’re green, they’re organic, and they’re super cute. Unfortunately though, they’re only available in the UK, so all you British blokes are in luck!
PERFECTLY IMPERFECT CAMISOLES AND PANTIES
Sexy but simple, these organic cotton from organic cotton company Perfectly Imperfect sets are supple as can be, but don’t lose much in the sex appeal department.
BUENO STYLE BOYCUT ORGANIC COTTON PANTIES
For a perfect balance of sexy and comfortable, you can’t go wrong with BuenoStyle organic cotton panties. Made from 96% organic cotton and 4% lycra, the boy-cut style undies come in vibrant colors thanks to low-impact dyes.
VICTORIA’S SECRET ORGANIC COTTON COLLECTION- Spring 2008
Last but not least, there’s always Victoria Secret. You may know it, but the underwear uberchain is jumping the green bandwagon as well. Under the umbrella of their Victoria’s Dirty Little Secret campaign, the lingerie powerhouse is launching an organic cotton line VERY soon- if your lady is patient, preorder her some organic cotton skivvies.
