In the desire to support a greener and more sustainable economy, we looked for natural materials that are kind to nature and have a low impact on the environment. That is why we have come to turn our attention to hemp to produce the latest Femi.Eko reusable underwear models.
Used more and more in the textile industry, hemp fibers come with great advantages, it is because they are free from toxins, they are renewable and biodegradable. Hemp crops have a low impact on the environment. This plant grows quickly and, grown on the same area of agricultural land, produces much more fiber than other similar crops, such as cotton or flax. Specifically, hemp produces 250% more fiber than cotton and 600% more than flax.
It is precisely for these reasons that I have mentioned above that hemp began to become more and more popular as a fabric. We find it in clothes, we also find it in reusable underwear from Femi.Eko. Yes, we created absorbent underwear from hemp, our invention patent is already in the process of being approved at OSIM. And in this material, I have compiled for you a list of the benefits that this product offers and why you should have it. Wondering why hemp is the best of all natural materials out there? Let's see:
1. Hemp underwear is strong and durable
You know that feeling you get when you wear comfortable clothes that you barely notice? Such is the case with hemp, an extremely strong and durable fiber, both when worn and washed. To understand even better the degree of resistance of this fabric, we give you the most eloquent example: the ropes are made of hemp. Normally a cotton t-shirt lasts 5 years, hemp will last twice as long due to the extremely durable fabric. In addition, hemp softens with repeated washing, so the material becomes much more comfortable over the years without changing its shape or texture.
The strength of this natural fiber is actually one of its greatest advantages. This means that any item made from hemp will be able to be worn for a long time, even daily, without needing to be replaced. Now consider the hemp underwear (link will be added) created by specialists Femi.Eko. It won't hurt, it won't wear out, and you'll be able to enjoy at least two years of the same pair of panties, regardless of whether you use them during periods or for incontinence.
2. Hemp is a natural antibacterial agent
Hemp has natural antibacterial properties, so there is no need for added chemicals to prevent germs and bacteria. And this is extremely beneficial for both people and the planet.
Antimicrobial properties, such as those found in hemp, prevent bacteria from forming and spreading. Which means you won't have to deal with unpleasant odors when wearing the absorbent hemp underwear, there's no risk of infection and you'll feel fresh all the time.
The antibacterial properties of hemp clothing are essential for the protection of the more sensitive areas of the body. This is precisely why the Femi.Eko specialists chose hemp to use it as the main material in the composition of the new absorbent and reusable underwear.
3. Hemp is rich in antioxidants and is great for the skin
Did you know that hemp seeds are extremely high in antioxidants? This means that hemp fabrics also provide good protection for the skin, especially sensitive skin. Well, the reusable underwear from FemiEko.ro has the first layer, the one that comes in contact with the skin, made of hemp. And that means increased comfort for you and no risk of irritation in the intimate area when you have your period or when you have problems such as incontinence.
4. Hemp underwear is a sustainable alternative
Absorbent underwear for women, primarily made from hemp, is a healthy-for-you and eco-friendly alternative. The plant grows extremely fast (only 100 days, resulting in 3 plantings/year), is tasked with cleaning toxins from the soil and air, and unlike similar crops such as cotton, needs little water.
Hemp is basically nature's cleaner. The plant captures carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and quickly cleans the air we breathe. In fact, 1.63 tons of carbon are removed from the air for every ton of hemp produced, making hemp a much more efficient carbon sink than even trees.
Hemp helps to regenerate the soil thanks to the nutrients that the plant contains. Not only that, but hemp roots can grow up to 2.5 meters deep, the soil in which hemp grows will be strengthened by its presence, even helping to restore damaged soil and grow a wider variety of subsequent crops, such as a result!
It grows without the need for pesticides and herbicides and at the same time produces large amounts of fiber, which provides a largely waste-free content.
5. Hemp fibers will keep you warm in winter and cool in summer
Hemp fabrics last extremely well over time, and in addition, the porosity of the fiber allows the material to allow the skin to aerate and keep it cool in the summer. On the other hand, the air inside the hemp fiber has an insulating role, so the fabric will keep the body warm during the cold period. Hemp absorbs moisture and does not stick to the skin, which is why the underwear will be extremely comfortable and will not feel cold or wet in the presence of liquid.
6. Hemp needs no chemicals, pesticides or fertilizers to grow
As said, hemp grows by itself in any type of soil, without the need for fertilizers, pesticides or chemicals. So even articles made from hemp fibers, such as Femi.Eko absorbent underwear, are 100% natural, contain no chemicals, which greatly reduces the risk of possible allergies.
7. Hemp gets softer with every wash and use
Soft clothes are extraordinarily comfortable for the skin. This is exactly how the underwear you wear should be: soft and velvety. Now you're probably wondering how hemp absorbent panties fare, as the latter are quite stiff. Well, just by washing, the hemp fabric gets softer and softer. This means that the more you clean and use it, the more comfortable and smooth the hemp underwear becomes.
8. All parts of hemp are used
Of course, we use the fibers to make natural substances, which we then include in our intimate hygiene products, such as absorbent panties. But most parts of the plant are used in many sustainable areas: such as hemp fuels, healthy food, body care. All natural, no pollution! Focusing on waste minimization is more important than ever and is vital to the survival of our planet and future generations.
When we talk about protecting the environment, we talk about as few chemicals as possible, about as little waste as possible and about sustainable and reusable items. Hemp is the element that fulfills all these needs of the Planet, which is why the Femi.Eko specialists created the absorbent underwear made of hemp. Because we care about the environment as much as we want to meet the needs of all women, especially during menstruation.
Menstrual panties with hemp in the composition are: Nanna, Nanna+, Silke and Flora. Are you ready to try them and participate in the well-being of the planet and your health?
