Nettle's Tale is not a B Corp. The brand-level labels are thinner than the product-level ones.
What the label won’t tell you
0 of 0 styles scanned: zero PFAS, zero formaldehyde.
“Eco” and “green” have no legal meaning, and thousands of unverified claims flood the market. We scanned 0 styles from the store’s own product feed and publish a score only at full coverage. We read certificates, not adjectives.
Most “cotton” underwear hides elastane or spandex in the trims. We read the stated fibres on 0 of 0 styles, thread by thread: 0% plant, 100% synthetic.
Latex and rubber waistbands are a top trigger for contact eczema. Elastic check across the catalogue: No elastane.
Traceability on record: see ledger. We publish the full sourcing chain and the honest red flags, including where sources conflict.
Synthetic underwear sheds plastic fibres onto your skin and into the water with every single wash. Nettle's Tale is 100% synthetic, so yes. These styles shed. Wash cool, use a guppy bag, and favour the plant-fibre options in the range.
Sources: consumer research on formaldehyde in easy-care fabrics (~9% of people react), PFAS in water- and stain-resistant finishes, and hypoallergenic underwear for eczema and contact dermatitis.

Nettle’s Tale sells size-inclusive mix-and-match bikinis and one-piece swimsuits made from 92% recycled polyester and 8% spandex. The Vancouver brand certifies its swim fabric to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and makes every suit locally in British Columbia, in sizes XS to 4X. It designs its swimsuits to fit a diverse range of body shapes, emphasising ethical, local manufacturing.

Founded in California in 2000 by Amahlia Stevens, the women-founded label describes EcoLux as the first luxury swim fabric made from recycled fibres, though it does not state a specific recycled percentage. Vitamin A positions style and sustainability as inseparable across its swim and resort collections.
Oceana Swimwear sells bikinis and one-piece swimsuits made from eco-friendly fabrics, inspired by Rio San Juan in the Dominican Republic. The brand states its swimwear uses ECONYL regenerated nylon, recycled polyester, organic cotton and Tencel, though it does not publish specific fibre percentages.
