Victoria's Secret Cotton for Panties Made by African 12 Year Olds

Victoria's Secret cotton unravels kids' lives - Granted, the corporation was trying to use "Fair Trade" cotton and the fine print wasn't clear.

Here is the Bloomberg story of one twelve years old cotton picker.  She was from Burkina Faso.

Excerpt:

As Victoria's Secret's partner, Guebre's organization, the National Federation of Burkina Cotton Producers, is responsible for running all aspects of the organic and fair-trade program across Burkina Faso. Known by its French initials, the UNPCB in 2008 co-sponsored a study suggesting hundreds, if not thousands, of children like Clarisse could be vulnerable to exploitation on organic and fair-trade farms. The study was commissioned by the growers and Helvetas. Victoria's Secret says it never saw the report.

I am happy with them. They are thin material compared to the underwear from the more expensive specialty shops.
Thin is cool though, makes them more breathable.
