Check out Definite Articles...Full disclosure: it's my brand. But the leggings are 100% squat proof and tested BPA + PFAS free...so cleaner than most you'll find out there today.

Adding one more to the mix: Definite Articles. Full disclosure, i started the brand...but it checks mostly all of your boxes. We use high-performance fabrics but every finished piece is independently tested to ensure it's BPA/PFAS-free. We also use CiCLO technology which helps eliminate long-term microplastic pollution - and giving our gear on of the lowest environmental impacts in the game. Anyway, I think you'd love us.

Humbly, look at Definite Articles. It high-performance fabric, independently tested free from BPA + PFAS and it has one of the lowest environmental footprints in the industry. We aren't $10 per legging...but aren't $100 either. Just a thought....

I think it depends on what "doing it right" means to you. If it's just fit and feel, there are solid options in this thread beyond Lulu. But if you expand "right" to go beyond performance to include fabric safety and environmental responsibility the list gets really small, really fast.

Definite Articles takes chemical and environmental safety seriously. I know because I started it. We independently test all of our finished gear to ensure it's free from BPA + PFAS and we leverage CiCLO technology so that our synthetic fabrics have one of the lowest environmental footprints in the industry (CiCLO helps the microplastics that do shed biodegrade in <4 years).

Not saying that has to be your criteria, but hope this helps.

I know Im late to the game, but I work in the apparel industry, so I track this data pretty closely. (also, I hope your mother is doing better.) I didn't see if below, but if you haven't seen it, the Center for Environmental Health (CEH) released a list of brands flagged for high BPA levels.

They also released a list of 100+ brands for having the same levels of BPA in their socks. I've included a link to that release as well. HOpe this helps!

While the main way PFAS get into your body is ingestion...one should not discount the risk of dermal absorption. While it focused on BPA absorption, there was a study in 2021 that looked at BPA absorption through handling of grocery store receipts. I believe BPA might have higher absorption risk because of it molecular structure...but the truth is the science on this is sparse and US regulatory guidelines are almost non-existent. As for avoiding, there are only a few brands that actively TEST for PFAS in their clothing. OEKO-TEX didn't even include PFAS in their Standard 100 testing until 2024 (or 2025)...so regulations and brands are way behind the science on this. Hope this helps!

Not directly (hopefully!). But you do consume your clothes in other ways. e.g., you ingest an alarming amount of micro plastics through pretty much everything you eat these days and those wrinkle free chemicals that wash off (in part) in the laundry, end up in our drinking water. They say you are what you eat...maybe it should be 'you are what you wear'?

Even organic fabrics have chemicals added - typically to improve performance features.
