Any tips for avoiding microplastics from clothing?

Yeah, stop wearing plastic clothing.
Polyester, satin, lycra, and all those other "fabrics" are plastic, in case you didn't know. And don't be fooled by shit called "bamboo," the bamboo is usually a single-digit percentage of the garment while the rest is plastic.

I only buy clothes from autistic japanese people that can tell me exactly what field in Zimbabwe the cotton was grown in.

Just found out nylons are plastic, how am I suppose to get footjobs from pantyhose feet now?

This recent fear of certain materials giving you microplastics is retarded and funded by big cotton or some other jew who is scared of significantly cheaper east Asian clothing brands taking over the market so you spend more on 'healthier' clothes. Your skin will not absorb the poylmers at all no matter how much you use it or rub against it, its like being scared of using a plastic mouse and keyboard.

>>18467884
You seem very ignorant, so I'll let it slide.
Microplastics get in your body through numerous different ways, including through the air we breathe. The vast majority of microplastics are in the atmosphere because of the synthetic textile industry.

>>18467884
i don't care about any of that. polyester drapes like shit, it pills, it has a bad looking sheen to it that screams cheap, it feels gross against the skin when its hot out, it smells like shit all day if you sweat even a tiny bit, and the way it absorbs sweat feels gross and clammy while natural fibers don't.
>Your skin will not absorb the poylmers at all no matter how much you use it or rub against it, its like being scared of using a plastic mouse and keyboard.
it doesn't matter if skin contact with synthetics disrupts endocrine. every synthetic garment will eventually be discarded. the fibers will then make it into the food chain and once it enters the food chain its in you.
i would prefer not to contribute to mass consumption of low quality plastic trash.

>>18467879
any concrete recs in that category?

>>18467906
a lot of anons think they can just look at a tag that says "100% cotton" and that means the garment's natural. what they don't realize is 99.9% of modern clothes are made using polyester thread and dyed with very harsh chemicals with under-researched safety profiles.
tezomeya does handmade tee shirts using only natural dyes.
there's some other 1 man jap maker that does the same thing but with button up shirts and trousers. forgot their name. they occasionally get mentioned on plebbit maybe you can find them.
kapital does a lot of stuff with natural dyes.
samurai jeans owns their entire supply chain for their fabrics and does everything in house.
foxfiber is also something you ought to look into. cotton that's been selectively bred to naturally have color and not need dying.
sadly the industry for this sort of stuff isn't huge so its kind of hard to make a full wardrobe of truly all natural fully ethic clothing. i tried before when i was a richfag. but you can at least significantly cut down on how much slop you wear.
also: buying undyed clothing then dying them yourself is a viable option. dying with indigo at home is very easy. synthetic indigo is chemically identical to natural other than the purity. mud dying is quite possible at home and can achieve browns + deep blacks but its a deep rabbithole and a lot of the good info on it is very arcane, hidden and tends to be paywalled. tumeric dying is easy at home. etc. its a rabbithole worth going down if you're serious about ethical clothing because as i said the market is small and you'll have trouble making a full wardrobe without some diy.

>satin
is a type of weave. there's silk satin, cotton satin.

>>18467921
Satin as it is actually used in the industry usually refers to a polyester blend. "Silk satin" has very little silk at all in it, for example.

>>18467924
the trade name for cotton satin is sateen. wearing some cotton satin pants rn while i post.

>>18467857 (OP)
wear loose fitting clothing made from natural fibres.

Do people actually wear plastic clothes? Like I know poor people do, but do well off normies actually buy polyester junk?

>>18467906
Big fan of Momotaro, wish I didn't gain weight and had to stop wearing mine. My next jeans will be Samurai
Also don't sleep on the American brands using Japanese denim. I absolutely loved a pair of Rogue Territory jeans. I had some Freenote Cloth jeans but sized wrong and passed them on

>>18467881
Those don't count
I'd literally rather pass away than not make my girlfriend wear stockings during sex

>>18467884
Even if the microplastic hysteria is over-exaggerated I'd still rather give my money to a company making 100% cotton clothing than some chink slave company making plastic aliexpress clothes designed to fall apart and end up in a landfill after 3 wears.

>>18468017
Plenty of bangladeshi workers making 100% cotton clothes that will fall apart just as quickly.

>>18468025
You're right, but I'm more concerned with plastic ending up in a landfill, not biodegradable cotton

>>18467994
yes. The well off normies wear polyesther slop.

It's hard to find jackets without synthetics. If that's not one of the things you're looking at you will buy one with. Another thing are the 2% elastane in pants - there hardly are any without now.

Why did the anon's posts get removed?

>>18467985
i don't have the money to, and i doubt it would be easy to find investment for a business that doesn't scale like that.

i called out all the bot posts in another thread. most of the posts on this board are bot posts or organized by a shill discord and the janny's a legitimate padded room mental case.

>>18467903
It also dries out in a few minutes compared to hours (cotton).
If you love somewhere hot 50-50 cotton/plastic is a good choice

>>18468324
wool blends tho

>>18468324
poly and blends never absorb the sweat off my skin it just sits there pooled and feels gross. drips down my back etc.

>>18468324
cotton wool and linen are far superior when its hot because you don't sweat as much in them in the first place.
if you sweat in it you're buying cheap clothes and need to learn more about different fabric weaves and how breathable clothes can get without being see through.
polyester is only good for short term athletic wear like sports or the gym where you sweat once then take it off right after and wash it. or for cold rainy and winter weather. its shit in hot weather.

>>18468371
nah cotton is terrible for sweat. soaks it up like a sponge and clings to you like nothing else.

there's a reason outdoorsy types are always saying "cotton kills"

>>18468369
B-bu-bu-but the tag says "moisture-wicking" :(

There's a reason they made slaves pock cotton for clothing in texas

I wear 100% cotton to the gym, haven't been uncomfortable or died of cold exposure.
You stupid prick

Fuckest thy mother

>>18467857 (OP)
This is not a problem for me, because I only wear natural fibres, especially nice against the bare skin, why aren't you doing this?

>>18468397
maybe if you worked up a sweat instead of oggling cocks in the lockerroom the disadvantaged of cotton would be more obvious to you

>>18468426
I have wool underwear

>>18468426
Maybe if you understood that baggy clothing allows the sweat to evaporate on your skin to cool you down, instead of thinking of genitals all the time you would realize cotton isn't so bad in an climate controlled building.

I do not sweat much, the lack of humidity is a factor. If I were to go to Oregon, there would be sweat for you to lick off my body

>>18468426
Aye, I will make sure to wear 1 cotton shirt, 1 pair of cotton pants, cotton socks paired with cotton slippers next time I go to the gym.
No underwear for I have been told that people who have sex do not have undergarments by numerous 4chan users

you mean when you go on month long hikes in the winter?

>>18468397
My city is a concrete jungle with high summer temps and sometimes week long heatwaves. It is dry with low humidity. If you walk even 10min outside you get soaking wet from sweat and your 100% cotton shirt remains wet for hours. Polyester dries within 10min

>>18468548
Yeah, so does silk, wool, fur, hemp or linen.
All these choice and you choose plastic that causes acne

>>18468548
Yes, but then you smell like the region of India, because polyester absorbs your sweat and even when you wash it, it won't completely go away.
My source? Myself after years of using polyester

>>18467879

>>18468756
I work out in polyester tshirts and none of my 7 smells after washing because I let them dry before washing them.

>>18468379
>there's a reason outdoorsy types are always saying "cotton kills"
yeah im a backpacker and mountain climber i know all about it. cotton kills is overblown and it only applies to temperature ranges where you can go hypothermic when you're wet. in hot weather cotton is actually good. people sharing the cotton kills meme without really understanding it is why so many people hike in synthetics in the summer, and i think wearing synthetics is why so many people hate hiking in the summer. i used to hate the heat myself until i switched to natural fibers and got a ul umbrella for the sun.

>>18468774
Plop

>>18468774
>let them dry before washing them

>>18468774
If you hang wool up to dry and they won't need washing for weeks.

Cotton gets damp from perspiration quickly and doesn’t wick moisture away from your skin allowing the mechanism of sweating to cool you down, polyester wicks it away into the fabric and will not allow the sweat to evaporate on your skin to cool you down.
My source is my experience with overheating in winter with polyester clothing, may Allah strike down those who disagree with me for they are Jewish by nature

>>18468776
Based, I would give you a glass of ginger switchel on a hot summers day.
>>18468548

No switchel for you

You can also have some switchel

Disgusting, stay away

>>18467857 (OP)
If it isn't cotton, wool. or linen don't wear it
Also don't mix linen and wool because they cancel each others healing properties out
>>18467890
So basically car tires are ruining the ocean

>>18468426
just wear linen its better at wicking moisture away anyways

>>18469770
>Also don't mix linen and wool because they cancel each others healing properties out

>>18469875
Yep

>>18469876

>>18469770

What about wool underwear with cotton pants?

>>18467884
>t. plastic guzzling tranny

>>18469770
But I like to subvert my body's expectations.

>>18467884
Why do I get acne when wearing polyester and not other fabrics?

>>18467881
>just found out
nigga what, nothing about nylon seems natural

>>18467884
>So while fabric breathability properties may not necessarily impact whether polyester is toxic, it does present a health issue. Wearing polyester clothing has been linked to increased flare ups of dermatitis and acne, as well as itching and redness of the skin.
wearing polyester literally ages you by roaching your skin lmao.

>>18469876
based jewish schizo.
don't forget to wash and disinfect your clothes :D

>>18469023
wool's better. if the durability's a problem learn to darn like the olden days.

>>18469876
The entire body of fabric frequency research amounts to one rambling, incoherent article published by a Rabbi and his naturopath wife who think everyone should live by the rules in their holy book. Search for “fabric frequency” however and what you will get is link after link that cites this Torah-inspired nonsense as settled science. The AI summaries from both Microsoft and Google repeat all of the same non-facts, ridiculous assumptions, and made-up data. Dozens, if not hundreds, of e-commerce websites and ads (almost all selling linen clothing) repeat the same absurd findings and conclusions as if they were scientific facts. “Not only will that linen shirt made by child slaves in our third world factory look and feel great, a respected scientific researcher, Dr. Heidi Yellen, has proved that it will help you live a longer, healthier life.” Others repeat, repost and propagate this misinformation because of their confirmation bias. Like me, they dislike synthetic fabrics, so anything that proves the superiority of natural fabrics must be true. (Not surprisingly, few of the commercial websites or ads highlight the extreme damage that you’ll suffer if you wear wool and linen together…and yes, the Yellens have “scientific” proof for that one, too).

Bro wtf is this hippie bullshit, you guys don't seriously believe this shit, right?

>>18469876
linen underwear and wool top was the clothing standard in Europe for centuries

>>18469879
wool is 5000mhz and cotton is like 50-100 depending on if it is organic and where it was sourced
at worst it drops down alot but it is still higher than the bodys frequency

>>18469891
long story short going under the bodys frequency is said to make you more susceptible to sickness which you can see in plastic clothing like polyester which is 0.
your body is about 65-75 and near death bodies are like 15 so by wearing polyester on your skin makes you more likely to break out
Natural materials are better as natural clothing like linen has natural antibacterial, anti-viral, ec. properties which not only helps you stay healthy but can speed up healing
Its why hospitals used to have linen bed sheets and use linen bandages. They only replaced it to save money.
>>18469899
linen already has cleansing properties that are proven and not just the frequency thing
I used to get home after a long day with my polyester underwear and shirt smelling but with linen instead there is no smell and I didn't change my diet or daily movement.
I know longer need to put on body powder to avoid smells even when I am eating like crap for long periods of time.
I also noticed my bed stays "fresh" and cool for longer so in the end having my bedsheets unwashed for an extra week without smells or breaking out makes the cost worth it.
The issue with the research that was done is that it was only done once and nobody bothered to do it again.
It did find that the frequency of linen and wool together canceled out but it doesn't matter because most people wouldn't wear both anyways.
At least not in my country

>>18470119
the research that was done was with the clothes touching so the cancelling out might be limited to when they physically interact or if the garment is made with a mix of both materials. We don't know for sure because the research didn't test this

>>18470132
>your body is about 65-75
I was thinking about cotton the body is 100Mhz
Regardless you should optimally just wearing linen underclothing to avoid those dreaded wrinkles and focus on the proven science side of it.
You can find plenty of linen clothing in thrift stores for 10% of what they cost brand new and then use some sewing skills to turn them into under clothing because buying it brand new is fuck you expensive second only to actual designer clothing

>everything has a frequency
>except this one thing that's 0 without being at absolute zero temp
bullshit

>>18467857 (OP)
You can't. Even if you wear 100% natural fabrics, the threads used for stitching are usually made of plastic to make the stitches more durable. Your only option is wearing a plain non-dyed toga.

>>18470767
It says 100% raime, on the tag, you saying they are liars?
