Our dual-layer natural fabrics provide breathable support and comfort without toxins or plastic. Learn why padded bras aren’t as harmless as they seem, and how to help your kids embrace natural fibres and healthy growth.

From Nature to Nurture is the story behind Billie Green: why a child’s first bra shouldn’t come wrapped in plastic. After discovering plastics in everyday underwear, we created soft, breathable first bras and briefs for tweens & teens using Lenzing™ TENCEL™ Lyocell/Modal and organic cotton - OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, with no polyester, nylon or padding. Adjustable designs that grow with young bodies, reduce washing, and put comfort, skin health, and sustainability first.

At Billie Green, we believe your first bra should feel like a second skin—soft, gentle and never itchy. Look for natural, breathable fabrics (like TENCEL™ or organic cotton) that are kind to sensitive skin. Avoid synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon that can trap heat and cause irritation. Here are some great options for when your just getting started - and the best news is that they are designed to grow with you. 

 

Teens need fabrics that care for skin and the planet. We compare organic cotton with Lenzing™ TENCEL™ Lyocell & Modal - hypoallergenic, breathable and fast-drying - and explain when a little elastane (≤10%) helps without trapping heat. Learn why polyester/nylon and wool can irritate, what to choose for first bras, sports bras and everyday briefs, and how to shop smarter for comfort, durability and sustainability.
