Yew Tree Bae Skin-Calming Hipsters

The fabric closest to your skin isn't passive. It is either helping your skin recover or making recovery harder. 

After cycling, running, horse riding, or any sustained endurance session, your skin is doing quiet repair work. Heat, sweat, and repetitive friction stress the skin barrier - especially along the inner thighs and bikini line. Add hormonal shifts, post-shave sensitivity, or a day of sustained humidity, and ordinary underwear can become the thing making it worse, not better. 

The same is true on days you haven't trained at all. Hormonal changes across the cycle, through perimenopause, or in response to chronic stress can leave intimate skin feeling more reactive, more easily irritated, and less tolerant of fabrics it usually handles without difficulty. 

Yew Tree Bae was designed for both. The Yew Tree bark fibre lining acts as a breathable, calming layer against your most sensitive skin. The elastic-free inseam removes the single pressure point most underwear creates right where skin most needs relief. And the full-coverage, hypoallergenic construction lets skin rest, recover, and breathe - whether you've just finished a marathon, a hormonal week, or simply a long Tuesday. 

After Sport & Active Days  

Elastic-free inseam - no digging into sensitive or sore skin post-ride or post-run 

Anti-chafe construction - mirrors the relief of post-shave comfort against the bikini line and inner thighs 

Cooling, breathable fabric - releases residual heat from the skin rather than trapping it 

Moisture-managing gusset - supports skin balance after extended sweat, keeping the intimate skin environment stable 

Zero ride-up, no shifting - stays exactly in place through movement and rest alike 

For Sensitive & Hormonal Days  

Yew Tree bark fibre calms reactive, inflamed, or flare-prone intimate skin through sustained botanical contact 

Hypoallergenic lining supports the skin's natural pH balance - critical during hormonal fluctuations that disrupt it 

Reduces itch, redness, and odour-causing bacteria - independently tested, not a marketing claim 

Gentle enough for perimenopause and menopause skin - where sensitivity to pressure, heat, and synthetic fabric is at its highest 

Stays soft and effective for 100+ washes - the botanical properties are structural, not a surface treatment 

Who it's for: Active women who train hard and still want to feel well off the bike. Women whose skin flares with hormonal changes, heat, or friction. Anyone who wants firm, steady support on long, demanding days - not a loose, shifting fit.

Skin wellness claims need proof. Here is ours.

Care  

🧴Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F), mild detergent, gentle cycle - or hand wash cold 

🚫No bleach - degrades the botanical fibre and strips antibacterial performance 

💨Air dry flat - preserves the botanical fibre's softness and stretch. Do not tumble dry on high heat. 

🚫No fabric softener - coats the botanical fibre and reduces its breathability and skin-contact benefits
