Eco gift guide

Step One

Finally, a product for mum. Step One is a best-selling Australian underwear brand that is made from Organic bamboo viscose, is naturally breathable and feels luxe soft on the skin.

They have a boxer brief for women, which comes with Step One’s Ultra Glyde technology between your thighs, boosting comfort and minimise your risk of chafing. They also have a bikini brief if that is more your style.

Packaging is compostable and toxin free. In addition to being possibly the most comfortable underwear you will ever wear, they also do right by the environment.

Zero

An Aussie start-up called ZERO has released the ultimate dry wipe, which as the name suggests, is a wipe that comes to you dry. It contains no chemicals, fragrances, or plastic, instead you add your own water as needed, which means that there is way less chance of your baby getting a rash or any irritations that are usually associated with products that have chemicals in them to keep them fresh.

Additionally, the product is reusable, as it is thick and strong enough to be machine washed up to three times, and then when you are done you can pop it in the compost, which makes it a great choice for the environment.

ZERO dry wipes are luxe soft and thick, they also are brilliant to use as a make-up wipe too, which is a win-win for mum!
