Many workout clothes are made with synthetic fabrics treated with PFAS, chemical dyes, and performance finishes that can be absorbed through the skin, especially when worn near vulnerable areas. And since sweat opens pores, exposure may increase during exercise. Choosing non-toxic workout clothes made from safer materials helps reduce unnecessary chemical contact while still delivering comfort, stretch, and support.
