PETA-Approved Vegan: Why Every Boody Product Carries It
We have always believed comfort should feel good in every sense. Not only against your skin, but in how a product is made and what it is made from. PETA-Approved Vegan certification is one of the ways we verify that Boody products contain no animal-derived materials across every collection and every season.
What Does PETA-Approved Vegan Mean?
PETA-Approved Vegan certification confirms that a product contains no animal-derived materials in line with PETA’s vegan standards. For clothing, that means no wool, silk, leather, down or other animal-based fibres. It also applies to glues, dyes and trims.
In short, it is independently verified rather than self-declared. Not simply a brand claim, but a recognised certification standard.
Are All Boody Products PETA-Approved Vegan?
Yes. Every Boody product, from underwear and bras to socks, loungewear and babywear, is PETA-Approved Vegan certified. This is not limited to a select range or seasonal launch. It is the standard across the full collection.
What Boody Uses Instead of Animal Fibres
Our signature fabric is viscose derived from organically grown bamboo. It is entirely plant-based and designed for the type of comfort people rely on every day. Naturally soft. Breathable. Moisture-wicking. Temperature-regulating. Odour-resistant.
These qualities come from the fibre itself rather than treatments designed to imitate animal fibres. The fabric performs because of what it is, not because of what has been added to it.
Vegan Clothing and Comfort: Not a Trade-Off
One question we hear regularly is whether vegan fabrics compromise on comfort or performance. In our experience, they do not. Bamboo viscose is consistently one of the most positively reviewed parts of the Boody experience because it feels soft, breathable and comfortable against skin.
For us, PETA-Approved Vegan certification is not about sacrificing comfort. It is about choosing materials that perform well without relying on animal-derived inputs.
Backed by Multiple Certifications
PETA-Approved Vegan certification sits alongside several other material and product standards used across the business. Our fabrics are also certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, independently tested for harmful substances including PFAS, while our bamboo source is ECOCERT certified organic. Our fabrics are also made without any PFAS.
Together, these standards help provide a clearer picture of what Boody products are made from and how they are produced.
Why This Matters to Us
We are not a brand built around activism. But we do believe the decisions made in sourcing and design matter. Choosing plant-based fibres over animal-derived materials is one of those decisions, and one we are proud to support through recognised certification.

How To Check Your Breasts
What’s the first thing you think to look for when you hear the phrase ‘check your breasts’? It’s often the idea that you’re looking for a lump. Right? Did you know that there are actually 12 symptoms of breast cancer that can help you be more confident to report a persistent breast change? We bet you also didn't know that the changes to look out for are very similar for both women and men. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to raise awareness about the impact of breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK. Around 55,500 women and 370 men in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer annually. It’s estimated that 1 in 7 women in the UK will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime but over 25% of breast cancer cases are thought to be preventable. As a brand that creates intimates - it seemed fit for us to use our platform to talk to breast cancer UK and use the month of October to simply be breast aware - because if you grow them, you should know them. So, what should my breasts feel like? Firstly, it’s important to acknowledge that only you can really know your breasts. The way breasts look and feel will vary for every person. That is why it is so important to be breast aware as this will ensure you can acknowledge a change - if there is one. Remember, October is a reminder to check your breasts - but checking should be made part of your monthly routine. “Forty percent of diagnosed breast cancers are detected by women who feel a lump, so establishing a regular breast self-exam is very important.” SOURCE: NATIONALBREASTCANCER.ORG What are the 12 symptoms? The following 12 signs are things to be aware of. Yes, sometimes it is just your body but a change noticed that is persistent - is best checked by your doctor. It is important to note, different people have different symptoms of breast cancer. Some people do not have any signs or symptoms at all. New lump in the breast or underarm (armpit) Thickening or swelling of part of the breast Irritation or dimpling of breast skin Redness or flaky skin in the nipple area or the breast Pulling in of the nipple or pain in the nipple area Nipple discharge other than breast milk Any change in the size or the shape of the breast Changes in the shape of the nipple Pain in any area of the breast Growing veins Nipple retraction Thickening of the nipple or breast skin How should A breast self-exam be performed? In the Shower With the pads/flats of your 3 middle fingers, check the entire breast and armpit area pressing down with light, medium, and firm pressure. Check both breasts each month feeling for any lump, thickening, hardened knot, or any other breast changes. In Front of a Mirror Visually inspect your breasts with your arms at your sides. Next, raise your arms high overhead. Look for any changes in the contour, any swelling, or dimpling of the skin, or changes in the nipples. Next, rest your palms on your hips and press firmly to flex your chest muscles. Left and right breasts will not exactly match—few women’s breasts do, so look for any dimpling, puckering, or changes, particularly on one side. Lying Down When lying down, the breast tissue spreads out evenly along the chest wall. Place a pillow under your right shoulder and your right arm behind your head. Using your left hand, move the pads of your fingers around your right breast gently covering the entire breast area and armpit. Use light, medium, and firm pressure. Squeeze the nipple; check for discharge and lumps. Repeat these steps for your left breast. What does a lump feel like? A new lump is one of the most common signs of breast cancer. Lumps that are breast cancers can vary. For example, they may be painless or painful. Lumps can also be a sign of a benign (non-cancerous) breast condition. However, if you have found a new lump or breast change, it is important to see your doctor so that it can be checked by a health professional. When should I see a doctor? A breast change doesn't always mean it is ‘cancer’. However, being breast aware is invaluable and if you do see a sign, have a symptom, don't feel right or simply just want to be sure - we encourage it! Early detection gives the best possible chance of survival if you are diagnosed with breast cancer. It is important to remember that breast awareness does not replace having regular mammograms and other screening tests as recommended by your doctor. Some people diagnosed with breast cancer have signs or symptoms. However, some women have no signs/symptoms and the breast cancer is found during a screening mammogram. When am I eligible for mammogram screening? In the UK the NHS offers free mammograms to women between 50 and 71, every three years. If you experience any breast symptoms or unusual changes, see your doctor without delay. If you have a strong family history or you are concerned that you may have an increased risk of breast cancer, always talk to your doctor. Your doctor will help you assess and manage your breast cancer risk and will advise of any additional precautions or screening you may require. So, do men get breast cancer? So many people assume breast cancer affects women only. Breast cancer affects both men and women, because men and women both have breast tissue. About 370 men are diagnosed in the UK every year. If you are a man or are reading this and have men in your life - it is important to make them always aware and let them know that if there are any new and unusual changes to their breasts - they should be aware and seek attention.

Boody Masks - The Answer
Masks Though we may have grown accustomed to regular mask-wearing, it seems our skin still has something to say about 2020’s accessory of choice. As face coverings continue to play a part in everyday life, Dermatologists have warned that the link between mask-wearing and increased cases of acne, dermatitis and other skin conditions is only becoming more apparent. What’s the deal with maskne? Trapping warmth and moisture inside, masks create a breeding ground for bacteria, allowing breakouts to flourish around the mouth, nose, cheeks and jawline. As the friction created by face coverings has the ability to cause tiny tears on the surface of the skin and break down its natural barrier, even those with the most resilient complexions have fallen foul of the dreaded ‘maskne’. And it’s not just our skin that’s suffering as a result of the rise of the face mask. Containing microplastics that pollute our oceans and infiltrate our ecosystem, disposable masks pose a devastating threat to our planet. With an estimated 129 billion face masks now being used every month, each with a lifespan of 450 years, the disposal of single-use masks is leaving a lasting stain on our environment. Could bamboo be the ultimate eco alternative? A sustainable resource that yields a super soft yarn, bamboo is rich in both environmental and skin-saving benefits. Made from organically grown, naturally-sourced bamboo, our new SoftTouch masks offer to solve all of our mask-wearing woes… Hypoallergenic and highly breathable, Boody’s signature fabric provides sufficient protection while crucially still allowing skin to breathe. Moisture-wicking properties mean sweat is drawn to the outside of the fabric, preventing the build-up of bacteria on the surface of the skin. Naturally rich in antibacterial and antifungal properties, Boody’s bamboo fibres are also free from any form of chemical treatment, helping to keep irritation at bay. Soft and smooth, there are no sharp spurs to aggravate skin, ensuring complexions stay calm all day long. As sustainable as it is soft, bamboo is a plentiful natural resource that can be harvested with minimal environmental impact. Washable and reusable, Boody’s SoftTouch face masks retain their impressive properties with multiple washes, extending their lifespan and minimising the output of waste. Get yours here.
