Wama creates underwear made from hemp! They have a very small live but it is wonderfully affordable. Hemp fabric has many benefits like being naturally anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and super soft and breathable. In fact, hemp is one of the most environmentally friendly fabrics currently available. A densely growing plant, hemp literally chokes out any competing plants. This means harsh chemical herbicides aren’t necessary. Hemp also naturally reduces pests, so no pesticides are needed. Amazingly it also returns 60-70% of the nutrients it takes from the soil.
