Tried & Tested: Pure Earth Collection - Swimwear Range

I first came across Pure Earth Collection a couple of years ago and have since become an avid fan of many of their products. This is not only because they are incredibly good quality, wash well and have proved so useful for travel - but they are one of my most trusted when it comes to organic, plastic free fabrics, ethical manufacturing and true sustainability, which is at the heart of the brand.

Before I give you the lowdown on their newest launch, can we please discuss one of my absolute travel staples which forms part of their range…

The Best Blackout Blinds for Travelling

Are you looking for the best pair of blackout blinds available? Then RUSH over to their website to buy these right now, HONESTLY! We use these daily and having tried various cheap versions of black out blinds in the past (which have swifty fallen apart or failed to do the job), these have revolutionised travelling with our baby. Not only are they a fantastic size (130cm x 200cm when opened up, folded in travel bag they condense to 32cm x 43cm and weigh approximately 1kg) but they have versatility in the shape of window they cover due to the multiple, sturdy suction cups which can be easily moved between the eyelets. 

These travel blackout blinds are 100% organic and non toxic - so for hot windows this has been such a reassuring factor - knowing microplastics are not leaching into my daughters sleep environment. 

Organic Bamboo Sleeping Bags for Babies

While we’re here - let’s also talk about Pure Earth Collection organic bamboo sleeping bags for babies. We have two of these and unlike many on the market - these are all season and due to the design and fabric, assist with temperature control. We certainly noticed a marked difference in our baby's sleep since using them but the key selling point for me was again, the fact that they don’t contain polyester like most others.

Sleeping bags come with a little pop on and off comforter toy too which means our daughter never loses it in her sleep, but it can also be removed to use elsewhere. Spares can be purchased separately if you, like us, are always losing things that our baby deposits when we’re on the move!

Not only are these suitable for room temperatures from 13C-27C, but the bags themselves are cleverly designed to fit from 3m – 3y, providing an economical and environmentally sustainable purchase. They are a true investment and can be passed on for years to come. If this wasn’t a reason enough to buy, the company have a cleaner Ocean pledge, with every bag sold they will remove 33 grams of plastic from our shores and oceans on your behalf. That’s around 3 plastic bottles or 110 plastic straws. 

Since first writing about these around a year ago, we have used them consistently and they have washed and worn incredibly well. 

Pure Earth Collection offer a 30 day money back guarantee on these so there is literally nothing to lose by giving them a try. 

Swimwear

Pure Earth Collection have recently launched a very unique product - plastic free swimwear, made from organic cotton, using ocean safe, non-toxic dyes.

I’ll be honest, I didn't ever really consider the fact that swimming costumes contained plastic, but of course, they are all made with nylon and polyester and this is now very much on my radar. Conventional commercial swimwear contributes to microplastic pollution, a number of health complications and they shed thousands of plastic particles into the water.

The designs are incredibly sweet and come in two patterns and colourways - green with a palm tree print and yellow with a turtle print. My girls have the green version - I absolutely adore the ruffled back and bow. 

Sizing is generous and made to last, with sizing in 3 yearly increments - 2-4y. 5-7y and 8-10y. My 6yo has the 8-10y version as she's on the taller side, so if you have a leggy little one I’d recommend sizing up. 

If you’re off somewhere very hot on holiday, note that these swimming costumes won’t provide sun protection so should ideally be used in shady areas. I’ve written a piece on sun safety here which gives a few more tips and ideas on how to stay sun safe.

Although I can’t profess to be 100% to the letter when it comes to being environmentally friendly, I do my absolute best and these gorgeous products feel a step closer.
