DAYLIGHT LINGERIE

WORDS BY ASHLEIGH MATHESON

Comfortable, supportive and thoughtfully designed.

Sustainable underwear

Meet the world’s first fully biodegradable underwired bra. Lingerie so untraceable, you can add it to your compost when its reached the end of its life, or even bury it in the garden!


Did you know that the average woman owns 9 bras? This is equivalent to 45 plastic bottles, and even more scary, is equivalent to 7 billion in the US alone. Every wardrobe cull, or worn to the death bra you throw away, is given a 200 year sentence to decompose. As well as releasing micro-plastics, toxic liquids and carbon dioxide into our rivers, oceans and drinking water, as well as into the air we breathe. So instead of using synthetic materials, which regular bras are made from, Daylight bras are consciously created from renewable sources and materials that are naturally absorbent, breathable, long-lasting and have a luxuriously soft finish.. With cotton and bamboo as the main fabrics used, Daylight produces 46% less greenhouse gas, uses less water and energy and doesn’t pollute our water, air and soil like regular manufacturing can. 

I need support, you say. Daylight’s bras are designed to make you feel confident and supported, so their underwire is designed to shape and lift whilst the full secure yet stretchy back band ensures maximum weight distribution and a perfect fit. The U-back, two-part cup, adjustable straps & clasp features provide further support as well.

I want to feel sexy you whisper, these lingerie pieces are designed in-house to make you feel beautiful and feminine. With a silk feel soft cup and shape to provide better cleavage. All pieces come in inclusive and complementary earthy-toned hues coloured using low impact dyes, derived from plant materials and minimising water pollution.

If you’re after a high rise thong or full coverage high waisted knickers, Daylight lingerie has you covered (quite literally). With partially lined cups, you have coverage and shape, whilst still delicately dressing you. 

There are a small handful of sustainable bras on the market, but no other has the complete biodegradable capabilities, comfort and support that Daylight lingerie provide. Pre-orders will be available soon via https://daylightlingerie.com/ so make sure you sign up to the mailing list.
