Danskin Now Organic Cotton

Danskin has long been synonymous with yoga, dancing and exercise, so it's no surprise that Danskin Now Organic Cotton is a line that exercise enthusiasts are going crazy over. Not only is Danskin Now a sub brand of Danskin, which is known for quality and selection, but it is available exclusively at Wal-Mart, making it affordable as well. Danskin Now offers a wide range of styles.

The Dankskin company specializes in dance, yoga and fitness clothes for women. They've been in business well over 100 years (since 1882!). Over the years, Danskin has seen a lot of firsts. It was one of the first lines catering to dancers, the first company to create nylon bodywear and today they are offering fitness products made with organic cotton. There are certain to be many more firsts for this company in the years to come, but for now they are content to produce quality fitness wear, such as the Danskin Now line.

There are a few advantages to purchasing organic cotton over other material types.

• Organic cotton keeps moisture away from the skin, making it perfect for exercise
• Is less irritating than many man-made materials
• Is environmentally friendly
• Offers a wide variety of styles and colors
• Farmers replenish nutrients in the soil instead of stripping the nutrients
• Must adhere to strict federal guidelines when sold in the United States
• Protects the soil for future generations of farmers

Danskin Now organic cotton pieces might include:

• Tank tops
• Stretchy pants
• Cotton wrap tops
• Bermuda shorts
• Stretch cotton shorts
• Cropped pants
• Sports bras
• Girls leotards
• Zip jackets
• Shoes

Danskin seems to add more pieces regularly and is constantly improving upon design and color choices. Expect to pay anywhere from eight dollars and up for individual pieces, making this a very affordable option in exercise clothing choices. Clearances and sales can make the items even more affordable for those on a budget.

There are many other advantages to purchasing organic cotton pieces. Organic cotton feels unbelievably soft against the skin. In addition to being good for the environment, because of the reduction in pesticide use, cotton is a material that maintains those pesticides. When they are not used in growing, the cotton remains pure and is better for your skin as it does come in direct contact with tender skin. This can be especially important during exercise, when pores open and the body is trying to rid itself of impurities through sweat. Organic cotton soaks up that moisture, dries out quickly and keeps it away from tender skin to avoid chafing.

Although the cotton that these pieces are made from is organic, the care is just as simple and easy as any other type of cotton. Simply machine wash clothing pieces and then tumble them in the drying on a low heat setting. Shrinkage is minimal, but sizes of the Danskin now line have been reported to run a bit small in the first place, so allow ample room.

If you avoid Wal-Mart on principle or prefer to do your shopping online, Danskin does offer some other organic cotton options, such as their Danskin Prima line. Their official website offers a wide variety of colors, sizes and designs. Expect to pay a bit more when shopping the official Danskin site and premium lines, as the Danskin Now has been created specifically as a discount label option for Wal-Mart's discount stores. However, you will get free shipping on orders over $75.00, so stock up and the price may not be so prohibitive.

Choosing to purchase organic cotton can, over time, have a huge impact on the environment. Thanks to Danskin and Wal-Mart, buying those organic pieces is now more affordable than ever before. Danskin Now organic cotton is available in all Wal-Mart stores and can also be purchased through Walmart.com.
