Why Soft, Sustainable Knickers Belong in Every Underwear Drawer

Why Soft, Sustainable Knickers Belong in Every Underwear Drawer

Gentle, breathable, and beautifully effortless - the right pair of knickers can transform the way you feel every single day. At Luva Huva, we believe underwear should be more than a basic necessity. It should be soft on your skin, thoughtfully made, and crafted with materials that honour both comfort and the planet.

Our handmade knickers are designed to do just that. Created in small batches using natural fabrics like organic cotton and bamboo jersey, they offer a gentle alternative to the synthetic, elastic-heavy underwear so common today. If you’ve ever wished for knickers that move with you, breathe with you, and feel as soft at the end of the day as they did in the morning, this guide is for you.


What Makes a Luva Huva Knicker Special?

A good pair of knickers is all about ease - ease of wear, ease of movement, ease of mind. Ours are designed with softness in mind at every step.

Key features:

  • Natural fibres like GOTS-certified organic cotton and bamboo jersey

  • Soft, relaxed elastics that never dig

  • Breathable fabrics suitable for sensitive skin

  • Made-to-order, small-batch production

  • Handmade in our Brighton studio

These gentle materials make all the difference. Organic cotton feels fresh and breathable for all-day wear, while bamboo jersey brings a silky softness and natural stretch. Both are kind to delicate skin and help avoid irritation from synthetic fabrics.


Organic Cotton vs Bamboo Jersey: Which Is Right for You?

Organic Cotton Knickers

If you love a natural, breathable feel, organic cotton is the everyday staple. It’s cool, comfortable, and ideal for those with sensitive skin or who prefer a classic underwear experience. Many of our frilly knickers and gingham styles are made from beautifully soft GOTS-certified cotton.

Bamboo Jersey Knickers

Bamboo jersey offers a touch more stretch and a beautifully smooth finish. It’s perfect if you want something that adapts to your movement, gentle, flexible, and unbelievably soft. Our frilly bamboo knickers, in shades like Lilac or Sky, are some of the softest pieces in our collection.

Both fabrics are sustainably sourced and chosen for comfort above all else. Ultimately, it comes down to the texture you love most.

How to Choose the Perfect Fit

Finding comfortable knickers is more about feel than formality. Here’s how to choose a pair that truly suits you:

  • The waistband should sit softly against your skin

  • Leg openings should never dig or pinch

  • Natural fabrics will always feel gentler for daily wear

  • If you're between sizes, a slightly roomier fit is often the most comfortable

  • And of course, we offer custom sizing for the perfect fit when needed

Comfort is personal, and your knickers should feel like they were made just for you.


Why Sustainability Matters in Your Underwear Drawer

Knickers are the garments we wash and wear most often. Choosing natural, eco-friendly materials makes a meaningful difference both to your body and to the planet.

With Luva Huva knickers, you’re choosing:

  • Fabrics grown without harmful chemicals

  • Gentle production methods that reduce waste

  • Long-lasting pieces designed to be worn again and again

  • Underwear that treats your skin with kindness

Small choices add up, especially when they’re pieces you wear every single day.


Caring for Your Knickers

Natural fabrics last longer when treated gently.
For best results:

  • Wash at 30°C with a mild detergent

  • Avoid tumble drying

  • Air dry when possible

  • Use a delicate wash bag for lace-trimmed pieces

A little care goes a long way.
