The Very Good Bra V for Victory Bra
A genuinely plastic-free bra - TENCEL cups, cotton liner, natural-rubber/cotton band and straps, metal-only hardware. No elastane, no plastic sliders. Optional shaping pads are polyester (removable). (Natural rubber = latex.)
The verdict: Plastic-free
The standout for bras, a category where almost everything has elastane, foam, and plastic hardware. Here the cups are 100% TENCEL lyocell over an organic cotton liner, the band and straps get their stretch from natural rubber knitted into cotton (no elastane), and the only non-fiber parts are cadmium- and nickel-free metal hooks and eyes - no plastic sliders. Wire-free, up to E cup. Natural rubber is a latex, so not latex-allergy safe. The brand now offers optional removable pads for shaping, but those pads are polyester - the one synthetic part - so leave them out to keep the bra fully plastic-free (the unpadded bra is unchanged).
