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 pass through skin into the blood. Goshen's dyes are 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 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 traps heat in a layer of plastic fiber. A rise of just 1°C is linked to significantly reduced male fertility. GOTS organic cotton breathes.

THREAT 05 · SKIN

Itchiness

Most underwear pairs synthetic fabric that traps moisture with tight elastic that rubs, or uses pesticide-treated cotton known to cause rashes and itching. Goshen's GOTS organic cotton is knit for stretch, not chemically treated, so it stays gentle on 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 need chemical dyes to hold color, shed microplastic fibers through friction and washing, and carry residues linked to skin irritation and endocrine disruption. Goshen's fabric has no synthetic fiber, certified to GOTS.
