    Shop organic cotton underwear for non-toxic comfort everyday.

    Question – Ever wonder what that ‘pocket’ in your underwear is for? Surprise, it’s not to keep things in. It’s to add another layer of thickness for hygiene and absorbency. Most companies don’t sew it down in an effort to save time. La Coochie believes in ultimate comfort, so they take the extra time to sew it down so it never bunches after that first wash. Quality should last through many washes.

    Heavy metals, ammonia, formaldehyde, petroleum, chlorine, and phthalates. Nope, we’re not having a science class. These are all chemicals you can find in non-organic cotton (aka toxic fabrics). ⁠Disgusting, huh? How ‘bout we skip all that nonsense and shop non-toxic organic cotton and protect our sensitive areas instead?!

    La Coochie just has really high standards and they want to be able to give you the best for your body without sacrificing sexiness. ⁠

    Priority: Coochie safety ⁠

    Bonus: Feminine details and a super soft waistband so you feel great and gross elastic marks⁠

    Your coochie is one of the most absorptive organs of the body. Certified organic cotton is free of toxic chemicals like chlorine, formaldehyde, carcinogens, and other harsh chemicals.  Cotton is naturally breathable and helps prevent yeast, vaginal, and bladder infections. La Coochie‘s cotton fabric is certified with GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), which is the highest standard in the world, while having a low impact on the environment. Organically grown cotton saves vasts amounts of water and is grown without harmful toxic insecticides, pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. The GOTS supports organic cotton farmers and producers by providing and guaranteeing living wages and humane treatment of their factory employees.

    La Coochie is a collection of everyday sexy underwear better for your body, especially your coochie. Why? Simple. Regular cotton is toxic because it is full of chlorine, carcinogens, and other chemicals. La Coochie uses certified GOTS organic cotton, which has none of those harsh chemicals.

    La Coochie pioneered the idea of everyday cotton underwear with modern silhouettes. They offer unparalleled designs using thoughtful feminine details and sustainable materials. They don’t think you should compromise your style for comfort or quality for price. That is why they have created a new standard of cotton underwear that is not only safe for your body but sexy enough to get caught in.

    La Coochie partnered with sustainable fabric mills to develop their certified toxic-free fabrics. La Coochie factories are regularly audited and certified with safe working conditions for their employees. Each style and size is fit and measured against real women of all shapes. And because they don’t believe in boring, La Coochie adds feminine and sexy details… hello leg trimmed high-leg.

    La Coochie’s 100% toxic-free underwear betters your body AND the environment, resulting in better sex, comfort, and style! Using certified GOTS organic cotton and Oeko Tex lace trim, La Coochie underwear is free from harmful substances like formaldehyde and nickel AND help prevent yeast, vaginal, and bladder infections.
