What to Consider
Materials & Construction
- ·Cotton — Breathable and comfortable. Standard cotton softens with wear but may shrink. Look for ringspun or combed cotton for smoother, more durable fabric.
- ·Organic — Same durability as conventional counterparts, grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
Longevity & Care
- ·Cotton — Machine washable. Gets softer with every wash. Tumble dry low to minimize shrinkage.
- ·Organic — Follow care label — varies by base material.
Sustainability
- ·Organic — Grown without synthetic chemicals, reducing soil and water contamination. Better for farmers, ecosystems, and the people wearing the finished product.
Cost Per Use
- ·Cotton — Cotton is affordable but has a shorter lifespan than wool or linen. Organic and ringspun cotton cost slightly more but hold up noticeably longer.
- ·Organic — Organic typically costs 10-30% more than conventional, but supports healthier farming practices.
- ·Priced around $100 (midpoint of $50–$150 for Accessories). At ~12 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 8 months — and falls to roughly 14¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
