The bodysuit
Coming out in October 2024
It's still the first generation of this bodysuit, since there's nothing obvious that needs improving.
The fabric's softness is achieved by blending combed organic cotton with modal (a fiber made from wood pulp).
The onesie protects your tummy from drafts—that's why it keeps you warm, even without being made of wool. And to make sure it protects your forearms, too, we made it with long sleeves.
This onesie is made in Portugal at the Triwool factory, with which we have been working since our founding in 2017.
Techniques That Ensure Quality
Combed cotton
Cotton from which short fibers have been removed by “combing” it: it is therefore softer and more durable than regular cotton

Sirospun Yarn
Lycra 70
Pre-wash
Sirospun Yarn
By twisting two fiber ribbons (cotton and modal) together, the Siro spinning process creates a soft, strong, and pill-resistant yarn.

By using a large-diameter spandex yarn (known as “Lycra 70”), we achieve very little stretching (3 or 4 times less than other bodysuits we’ve tested).

This onesie is pre-shrunk and pre-washed at the factory so it won't shrink when you wash it at home (with cotton garments, most of the shrinking occurs during the first wash).

For a larger bodysuit
Like in a cocoon
A long-sleeved bodysuit designed to make you feel like you’re in a cocoon, thanks to “modal,” an ultra-soft fiber made from wood pulp. And it flatters your figure: slightly shaping fabric, open shoulders that don’t sag, and a deep neckline accented by three buttons. And we promise, we’ve put in the work: no stretching or pilling in sight. On the other hand, there’s a high risk you’ll find yourself humming “I Wanna Rock Your Body” as you slip it on.
In detail
Score: 2-2
A naturally elastic fabric that conforms to the body's shape.
Slimming effect
Another advantage (in addition to minimizing distortion) of the large-diameter spandex yarn.
Open neckline
Closes with three buttons.
High-cut panties
It's shorter in the front and longer in the back (to keep the fabric from riding up into the buttocks).
Bare shoulders
But they aren't low-cut, so you can wear the bodysuit with or without a bra (especially since the fabric is slightly shaping).
Snap fasteners
Easy to put on and take off, slightly offset toward the front so they don't get in the way, and compatible with our bodysuit extension.
How to Wear It
A few ideas if you're stuck
Composition
45% cotton, 45% modal, 10% spandex
Origin and Certifications
- Cotton: Turkey
- Modal: Austria
- Spinning, knitting, dyeing, garment manufacturing: Portugal
...manufacture in Portugal instead of France? Of course, manufacturing in Portugal allows us to sell at lower prices. But it’s also easier to produce high-quality items there: in the 1980s, when France outsourced its manufacturing, Portugal strengthened its own. That said, other companies besides ours manage to make very good bodysuits that are 100% made in France, such as the Flair brand .
How This Product Will Age
How do we know this? We ask our customers for their feedback on the product one year after purchase. And if the product is less than a year old, we provide our predictions based on some unsolicited feedback and our experience with similar products.
This onesie stretches very little when worn and stays soft after washing. As with all cotton clothing, the colors may fade with repeated washing. But so far, our testers haven’t reported any noticeable wear and tear.
Care Instructions
If it’s a little too short, lengthening straps are available on this page:
To ensure it lasts for years, wash it inside out at 30°C and spin-dry gently.
Avoid the dryer and ironing at high temperatures (this could damage the spandex fibers). We recommend air-drying it, and to prevent wrinkles, give this “Shake Your Body” bodysuit a good shake.
Coût environnemental
This environmental cost is calculated using the official methodology of the French environmental labeling system (to be rolled out starting October 1, 2025).
The label above shows the product’s environmental cost according to the official French environmental labeling methodology. This represents what its production “costs” nature when considering its impact on climate change, ocean acidification, its toxicity to freshwater, and so on. Currently in use in the textile sector, this label should soon appear on many everyday consumer products (food, cosmetics, furniture, etc.) to help you make more eco-friendly purchasing decisions.
The bodysuit therefore has an environmental cost of 471 impact points*.
By comparison, a garment of equivalent weight, made of 100% polyester, manufactured in Bangladesh, and sold by a fast-fashion brand, has an environmental cost of 1,300 points*.
Why is there this difference? Here are the main reasons:
- Countries of origin: Manufacturing in Portugal or France requires less fossil fuel energy than in Bangladesh (one of the leading producers of low-cost clothing). As a result, this more local manufacturing reduces the impacts on climate change, ocean acidification, and resource depletion.
- The material: Organic cotton has a relatively low environmental impact compared to polyester, particularly because it requires few pesticides (and thus poses a low toxicity risk to freshwater) and is biodegradable (and thus causes fewer issues with microfibers or end-of-life waste).
- Sustainability: Fast-fashion retailers encourage purchasing—in particular by rapidly refreshing their collections and offering a vast number of styles—and they discourage repairs by charging rock-bottom prices. This, in turn, increases the number of garments sold per person and reduces the number of times a garment is worn. In contrast, at Loom, we’ve chosen to adopt business practices that encourage our customers to keep their clothes for as long as possible.
Even though we've done everything we can to minimize it, this product's environmental impact is not insignificant. So before you buy, make sure to get the most use out of your clothes.

Please note: The number of points is not always exactly the same on Ecobalyse (whose methodology changes regularly) as on the official environmental label (based on Ecobalyse version 7.0).
Reviews of this product
The standard practice is to send review request emails a few days after the purchase. We wait a month—the minimum amount of time needed to form an informed opinion.
Customer Review Policy
When do you ask customers for reviews?
We’ll send you a review request one month after we receive your order. We believe this is the minimum amount of time needed to have worn and washed an item several times and to form a truly informed opinion. After that, all your reviews are published within a week, whether they’re positive or negative.
Do you request reviews for 100% of the products ordered by customers?
We used to do that at first, but then we realized we were starting to send way too many emails to certain customers who shop with us regularly. In short, we were spamming them a bit. Plus, it was starting to take the team way too much time to respond to reviews—since we want to reply individually and privately to almost everyone who leaves us a review. Today, we no longer ask for reviews on products that meet the following two criteria: 1/ There are enough reviews posted on the site for potential buyers to form an informed opinion about the product. 2/ We on the Loom team have read enough reviews to understand how to evolve the product into the next generation.
Just a quick thought: What proof is there that we aren't manipulating reviews by giving 5-star ratings to everything?
Honestly: nothing—we’re just giving you our word. Just like with everything else, actually: where we manufacture our products, where our wool comes from, our lab test results, and so on. The only times we might edit what you write is if your message contains spelling mistakes (and even then, quite a few slip past us) or if it’s racist, homophobic, etc. (but that’s never happened so far).
Asking for feedback after just one month isn't enough to know if the clothes are really durable, is it?
You're right—that's why we send you another email asking for a review one year after your purchase—we even ask for a photo to see how your garment has aged. We use the responses to improve our clothing and to provide information on “how this product will age” on our product pages. To avoid unnecessarily bothering our customers, we don’t ask for reviews on 100% of the products ordered: as soon as we have enough data to understand where we can improve, we stop asking for reviews after one year.
