7 Reasons To Ditch Polyester Activewear (And What You Should Wear Instead)

Those “buttery-soft leggings”? Just plastic in disguise.

Often the same type of plastic used to make water bottles.

If you avoid plastic everywhere else, why wear it against your skin?

A shocking investigation found high levels of BPA in activewear from major brands — some even 40x California’s allowable limit!

BPA can interfere with female hormones like estrogen — and has been shown to pass through skin contact.

Polyester fabric blocks airflow, trapping heat against your skin.
Leading to that synthetic, clammy feeling you hate.

Heat, sweat and tight fabric can irritate skin and trigger acne-like breakouts.

Not exactly what you want from something pressed against your skin for hours.

Every time you wear polyester activewear, tiny microplastics shed from the fabric onto your skin.

You’re literally wearing plastic that slowly breaks apart as you move.

It can make sweat feel worse and hold onto body odor even after washing.

That’s why it can start to stink after just a few minutes of light sweating.

Polyester is cheap to make, but big activewear brands still charge $100+ for it.

Stop overpaying 10x for cheap plastic.
