A fully compostable nursing bra & panty set
The Gaia nursing bra and panty set is a comfortable, adjustable undergarment for nursing mothers. It solves the need for stretch and support without using fossil fuel-based elastics or non-degradable plastics. The set is made of 100% cotton knit fabric and 3D printed bioplastics bonded using heat, which allows the product, including its clasps, to be fully compostable in an industrial facility.
