our story
cotton bum is a mother-owned brand born from the quiet realizations of motherhood. the kind that make you slow down and start asking better questions.
even as a medical provider, i was trained to look for answers, but rarely to question the everyday things we take for granted like what touches our skin and how that might shape our health. after becoming a mom, i started paying closer attention. not just to what we eat, but what we wear, what we absorb, and what we normalize without question.
underwear is one of the most overlooked essentials, yet it touches some of the most sensitive skin on our bodies. most of what’s out there is made with synthetics, dyes, and elastic blends. we’re told to accept that comfort and health should come second to style, but what if that’s part of the problem?
in a world that pressures us to perform and fit in, we squeeze into what hurts and ignore what our bodies are telling us. at cotton bum, we choose differently.
we make 100% organic cotton underwear for real bodies at every stage: puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, hormone shifts, and everything in between. we also make children’s underwear that’s safe from the start, and yes, we make them for the men in our lives too!
cotton bum wasn’t born from a business plan. it came from lived experience from noticing what didn’t feel right and choosing to pay attention. this brand is simply an extension of that choice: to care more, question more, and do better for our bodies.
