WAMA Underwear: A Closer Look at Hemp-Based Comfort and Everyday Essentials

WAMA Underwear is a U.S.-based intimates brand built around a simple premise: hemp can make everyday underwear feel comfortable while supporting a lower-impact approach to basics. On its “About” page, the company says its mission is to “pioneer the hemp underwear industry” by continually improving fit, function, and design, while bringing more awareness to hemp as a clothing fiber—especially for next-to-skin essentials.

WAMA focuses on staple silhouettes rather than fast-fashion novelty. The site merchandises men’s and women’s categories (and also lists loungewear like pajamas). Men’s staples typically include boxer briefs, trunks, and boxers; women’s options commonly include bikinis, hipsters, thongs, boyshorts, and bralettes, with colors and sizes rotating as items restock. The brand’s homepage highlights shopper-friendly policies like free returns/exchanges and notes free U.S. shipping on qualifying orders.

A defining shopping detail is WAMA’s consistent knit blend: 53% hemp, 44% organic cotton, and 3% spandex. In practical terms, hemp provides structure and breathability, cotton softens the hand-feel, and a small amount of spandex adds stretch and helps garments keep their shape. WAMA also claims hemp fabric is naturally antibacterial with anti-odor properties and says the fabric gets softer with every wash—useful context if a first wear feels a bit more “structured” than a typical cotton brief.

Eco-minded buyers often ask about certifications. WAMA explains that it cannot label the overall fabric as GOTS-certified because GOTS requires a minimum percentage of approved fibers, and hemp currently doesn’t qualify under that program—even though the organic cotton portion of its blend is GOTS-certified. The brand also displays affiliations/certifications on its site, including PETA-approved vegan and OEKO-TEX.

For fit, WAMA directs shoppers to style-specific size charts and offers email support for sizing questions. Care guidance is straightforward: machine wash cold and hang dry, with hand washing cold and laying flat to dry positioned as the gentler option for longevity. To reduce the first-order gamble, WAMA’s First Pair Guarantee offers a size/color replacement or refund on the first pair if it doesn’t work out, and it states “no questions asked” and “no returns needed.”

Operationally, WAMA says it ships most orders using 100% recycled poly mailers that are reusable and recyclable and that multipacks may include recycled tissue, recycled-paper stickers, and recycled-material boxes.

Independent reviewers commonly describe WAMA as soft, breathable, and generally true-to-size once the right cut is selected. Some also flag a trade-off typical of hemp blends: they can absorb moisture and dry more slowly than performance synthetics—great for everyday wear, less ideal for high-sweat workouts.
