FAQ

We believe that when you buy something to wear close to your body every day, you deserve to know exactly what it's made of, how to care for it, and what happens if something isn't right. This page is our commitment to transparency.

Sizing & Fit

How do I find my size?

Our size guide can be used to find your size guide in centimeters and inches. We recommend measuring your waist and hips and comparing to the guide. If you are between sizes, we generally suggest sizing up for everyday comfort, especially in underwear.

Do your sizes run true to size?

Our pieces are designed to fit true to the size on the label. Tencel has a gentle natural stretch, so the fit is comfortable without being restrictive. Customer feedback suggests our sizing is consistent, but we always recommend checking the size guide before ordering.

What if my size is not available?

We are always working to restock and expand our size range. You can sign up for a back-in-stock notification on the product page, or email us at andourseeds@gmail.com and we'll let you know as soon as it's available.

About Tencel & Our Fabric

What is Tencel and why do you use it?

Tencel (also known as Lyocell) is a natural fibre made from sustainably sourced wood pulp, usually eucalyptus or beech trees. We use it because it is exceptionally soft against the skin, breathable, and moisture-wicking, making it ideal for everyday underwear. It is also biodegradable and produced in a closed-loop process that recycles water and solvents, so it is kinder to the planet too.

Is Tencel safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, Tencel is naturally hypoallergenic and free from harsh chemicals. Its smooth, round fibres lie flat against the skin rather than poking into it, which makes it one of the gentlest fabric choices available. It is widely recommended for people with sensitive skin, eczema, or allergies.

How does Tencel compare to cotton for underwear?

Tencel is softer than cotton, absorbs moisture more efficiently, and dries faster. It also retains its shape and softness wash after wash better than many cotton types. For underwear worn close to the body all day, Tencel's breathability and smoothness make it a superior everyday choice.

Is your Tencel certified or sustainably sourced?

Yes. We use certified Tencel fibres from Lenzing AG, the company that developed and trademarked the material. Lenzing holds FSC and PEFC certifications for responsible forestry, and their Tencel process has received the EU Ecolabel for reduced environmental impact.

How do I care for my Tencel underwear?

Tencel is easy to care for. Machine wash on a gentle or delicate cycle at 30°C or below. Use a mild, pH-neutral detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can coat the fibres and reduce breathability. Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.

Will Tencel shrink in the wash?

Tencel can shrink slightly if washed at high temperatures or tumble dried on high heat. Always wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle and avoid high-heat drying to keep your pieces in perfect shape.

Can I iron Tencel underwear?

Tencel generally does not need ironing as it resists creasing well. If needed, use a low-heat steam iron and always iron on the reverse side of the fabric.

Sustainability & Ethics

Is And Our Seeds an ethical brand?

Yes. Sustainability and ethical production are at the heart of everything we do. We choose materials like Tencel precisely because they have a lower environmental footprint. We work only with suppliers who meet fair labour standards, and we are continuously reviewing our practices to do better. We are on a journey of growing to be the most ethical brand that we can and we are committed to learning andf growing. If you do have feedback and suggestions we would love to know about it so we can go better and grow.

Is your packaging eco-friendly?

We use minimal, plastic-free packaging wherever possible. Our mailers and tissue paper are either recycled or certified compostable. We are always looking at ways to reduce packaging further.

Are your products vegan?

Your products are made using plant-based TENCEL™ fibres and synthetic materials such as nylon, elastane, and polyester. We do not intentionally use any animal-derived materials or glues in our designs. While we take care in sourcing vegan-friendly materials, we are not currently certified as vegan and continue to work closely with our suppliers to ensure all components and processes align with vegan standards.
