This is exactly what new company Organic Basics are suggesting, with their range of eco-friendly underwear, the SilverTech 2.0 range.

The company say the pieces are self-washing, kill 99.9% of bacteria and can go weeks at a time without needing to be washed. We really don’t know how we feel about this.

On the one hand, we’re definitely up for doing everything we can to live sustainably and prevent the planet dying a slow death, but on the other hand… ew?

Whacking on your favourite granny-pants inside-out when you’ve forgotten to do a wash is one thing, but are we really going to get on board with wearing the same pair of knickers for days or weeks?

Organic Basics assures customers that hygiene and smell won’t be an issue. The products are made from 100% sustainable material and are able to kill bacteria to prevent odour developing.

According to the company’s Kickstarter page, the collection is wrinkle resistant, heat regulating and durable – the aim is for the products to last longer so you don’t have to buy new pants quite as frequently.

Organic Basics say that reducing washing can make a big difference in terms of environmental sustainability.

‘So much of the waste and pollution within the fashion industry is in your hands to improve. Being more sustainable is just as simple as turning off the water when you brush your teeth,’ they explain on their website.

‘Not only will you save water, electricity and detergent, but your clothes will also last longer, too. For most people, washing is more of a habit than a necessity.

But the amount of time you can go without washing does depend on the individual.

‘The effect of silver can vary from person to person, depending on how much and how strong our body odours are.
