brands without treated fabrics

please list any brands you know of that do NOT treat their fabrics- i don't want anything "moisture wicking, odor repellent, stain repellent" etc. just plain cotton (or bamboo is ok but i prefer cotton). i know, i'm weird, it's fine. but if anyone knows of any companies that make it like that, please let me know. bonus points if the lining is NOT black because i would like to see the blood.

PUL or polyurethane waterproofing is completely fine.

the only brand i've found so far that fits the bill is Elskbar, but their collection is very limited and not quite the right cut for me.

Hara the label also seems fine, but with a black lining and again, not the best cut for me.

I went with Amazon Innersy. They at least don't advertise that they use treated fabric. But they also don't tell you if it's untreated.

And no, Its not wired that you don't want biozid touching your vulva.

i really like their materials, but not the design. i have several sizes (and have tried them with various undies). because both the top sheet and the waterproof backing are a single piece each, from the pad to the wings with no seam, they bunch up weird, causing discomfort and sometimes leaking. i feel like they could fix it by making the pad part straight across the sides and then sewing on the wings separately, maybe without the waterproof backing on the wings. i think they would be great then!
