WHAT IT PROTECTS AGAINST

the plagues of this world

Microplastics
Chemical Dyes
Endocrine Disruptors
Heat
Itchiness
Synthetics

THREAT 01 · PLASTIC

Microplastics

Polyester is 59% of all fiber made on the planet, and polyester clothing sheds over a billion microplastic fibers a year. 100% organic cotton sheds zero.

100% studies reveal presence of microplastics in all human and canine testes
UNM Health Sciences, 2024

THREAT 02 · CHEMISTRY

Chemical Dyes

Most underwear is dyed with endocrine-disrupting chemicals that can leak through the skin, into the blood. Goshen is dyed OEKO-TEX® certified non-toxic.

90% of underwear is dyed with endocrine-disrupting chemicals

THREAT 03 · HORMONES

Endocrine Disruptors

Your endocrine system regulates testosterone, fertility, and metabolism through chemical signals. Endocrine disruptors, synthetic compounds found in plastics, pesticide residues, and textile dyes, hijack those signals.

−62% total sperm count over the last fifty years
Levine et al., Human Reproduction Update, 2023

THREAT 04 · TEMPERATURE

Heat

Your body regulates scrotal temperature for a reason. Synthetic underwear works against that process, trapping heat in a sealed layer of plastic fiber. A rise of just 1°C is linked to significantly reduced male fertility. GOTS organic cotton is breathable by nature, allowing air to circulate and temperature to self-regulate.

THREAT 05 · SKIN

Itchiness

Traditional underwear uses synthetic fabrics that trap moisture, tight elastics that cause friction, and pesticide-treated cotton known to induce rashes and itching. Our GOTS organic cotton is the fiber in its most natural state: mechanically knit for stretch instead of chemically treated, so it stays gentle against skin.

99.72% of conventional cotton farmers report pesticide skin irritation
Zahra et al., PubMed 37771927

THREAT 06 · MATERIAL

Synthetics

Polyester, nylon, spandex, and elastane are all synthesized from petroleum. They require chemical dyes to hold color, shed microplastic fibers through friction and washing, and carry residues linked to skin irritation and endocrine disruption. Goshen is built without a single synthetic fiber, certified to the highest GOTS third party standard.
