Jane, I'll look at Haband's and Dr. Leonard's. Often I waste postage by ordering from catalogs, because more and more the bras or clothes are imbued with formalin so strongly that I cannot even wash it out. Formalin is used often when fabrics are sent from overseas, to keep out bugs while in transit, I think. But it's formaldehyde. I got some new type bras from Hanes but I had to send them back after two full washing cycles did not remove the formalin. I sent for the bras I usually get from Hanes, "Bali Downtime", and they had only a slight amount of formalin which did wash out in two full cycles. The bras from Deva have NO formalin even from the beginning, because Deva prides itself in being a natural fabric purveyor.
I have to admit that I am angry that this is what we have come to, everything in our world made toxic. There always were toxins, which we bumped into occasionally, but now it's everywhere. I don't even bother entering Walmart or other big box stores. I know I will have to pay more to try to get toxic free. But the products from Deva and Hanes have not been overpriced, so far. I hope we can still buy a few things that are not toxic in coming years, however many we have.
