Why Natural Fabrics Matter

When it comes to period underwear, fabric isn’t just about comfort—it’s about health, sustainability, and trust. The materials we wear closest to our skin during menstruation should be breathable, safe, and free from harmful chemicals.

At Revol Cares, we believe in doing things differently. That’s why our sustainable period underwear is made from organic cotton, Modal (from beech tree fiber), and bamboo (processed the right way). These natural fabrics aren’t just softer and safer for your body—they also create a smaller environmental footprint compared to synthetics.

🌱 The Problem with Synthetic Fabrics

Most conventional underwear and period products rely on synthetics like polyester, nylon, and conventional rayon. These fabrics are petroleum-based, energy-intensive to produce, and shed microplastics into waterways every time they’re washed.

Even worse, many mainstream “sustainable” products mix in synthetic fibers, which don’t biodegrade and often come with toxic finishes or PFAS (forever chemicals).

That’s why Revol Cares takes a different path. Our PFAS-free period products are designed with natural, biodegradable fabrics only—so you can feel good about what you’re wearing and the impact it leaves behind.

💚 Our Fabric Choices: Natural, Biodegradable, and Low-Impact

1. Organic Cotton

Our organic cotton is grown without harmful pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. It’s gentler on the soil, safer for farmers, and kinder to sensitive skin. Compared to conventional cotton, organic cotton also requires significantly less water, making it one of the most sustainable fabric choices available.

2. Modal

Modal is created from the pulp of sustainably harvested beech trees. It’s processed in a closed-loop system that recovers and reuses 95% of the solvents used, minimizing waste. The result is a soft, breathable, and strong fabric—perfect for eco-friendly period underwear that can handle heavy flow days without sacrificing comfort.

3. Bamboo—The Right Way

Bamboo has become a buzzword in the eco-friendly fashion industry, but not all bamboo fabrics are created equal. Some are processed using harsh chemicals that strip away bamboo’s natural properties and harm both workers and ecosystems.

At Revol Cares, we only use bamboo fabric made through a natural enzyme process—a safer, low-impact method that preserves bamboo’s natural breathability, antibacterial qualities, and biodegradability.

🌿 The Two Ways to Make Bamboo Fabric

❌ The Chemical Process

Also called viscose bamboo, this method dissolves bamboo pulp with toxic chemicals like carbon disulfide, creating semi-synthetic fabric and chemical pollution.

✅ The Natural Enzyme Process (What We Use)

  • Bamboo is mechanically crushed and broken down with natural enzymes instead of harsh chemicals.

  • The resulting fiber retains bamboo’s natural antibacterial and breathable properties.

  • The process is low-waste, requires minimal water, and results in a fully biodegradable fabric.

This is the process behind the bamboo period underwear we create at Revol Cares—safe for you, better for the planet.

🌎 Natural Fabrics = A Smaller Environmental Footprint

Switching to natural fabrics like organic cotton, Modal, and bamboo has real benefits:

  • Reduced energy and water use during production

  • No toxic runoff or chemical pollution

  • No microplastics released into waterways

  • Gentle, breathable fabrics that are safe for sensitive skin

  • Always PFAS-free period products

When you choose natural fabrics, you’re choosing products that align with your values, protect your body, and reduce your environmental footprint.

🌱 A Better Choice, Every Cycle

The fabrics we wear against our skin matter—especially when it comes to menstrual care. Choosing sustainable, natural materials means less irritation for your body and less harm to the planet.

At Revol Cares, we design sustainable, PFAS-free period underwear that puts both care and performance first: breathable, biodegradable fabrics that keep you comfortable and protected through your heaviest days. No greenwashing, no compromises—just products that truly support you and the world you live in.

Because when your period care feels this good and does this much good, it’s more than underwear—it’s a better way forward.

👙 Finding the Right Style for Your Flow
