Much like our picks for swimwear, this category unfortunately by nature can’t be 100% natural or organic. You will notice mostly synthetic fabrics here. Short of old-fashioned lace-up corsets enforced with bone, there are no shapewear options that contain only natural materials. Natural fibers like cotton and wool don’t have the stretch needed to create the compression, so you will see synthetic fibers listed. You’ll find that the higher the natural fiber content, the lower the compression. However these options, natural or synthetic, all have some sort of certification to help protect against the common toxins in textiles like PFAS. OEKO-TEX certification is the most common certification used, which you can read more about here.
