Bamboo? Isn’t that just for pandas?

Well yes, bamboo makes great panda food, but it’s also been found to provide a terrific basis for boxers, briefs, knickers and other underwear. The raw bamboo is processed into viscose to make yarn from, making the most of those soft, smooth fibres. That also makes for knockout knickers, and bamboo boxers that pack a real punch for skin health.

Bamboo for the best-feeling underwear

Most of the benefits of bamboo are exactly what you want from your underwear! Bamboo underwear is hypoallergenic and friendly to all types of skin, due to the soft, rounded fibres that don’t scratch or irritate delicate skin. Bamboo has natural antibacterial and antimicrobial properties that help keep the body fresh, preventing things like odour and bacterial infections to take hold during your day.

Easy to wear, easy to care

The skin ‘down there’ is pretty delicate, so why wear any old underwear against it? Bamboo underwear will actively care for your skin from the moment you pull them on until you throw them in the wash basket at the end of the day. Oh yes, bamboo knickers, briefs and boxers are easy to care for too, despite the silk-like feel, no special washes are needed.

Stay cool

Bamboo’s ability to control temperature and moisture all create an ideal climate for healthy skin, and that’s just about the perfect fabric for men’s and women’s underwear, not to mention bamboo vests and tops.  

Environmentally better with bamboo underwear

Bamboo is a very productive, sustainable resource for growers, offering benefits over many other popular crops. Bamboo plants are naturally antibacterial, so it can be grown without using environmentally damaging pesticides. Bamboo grows quickly, and needs far less space than typical yarn production crops like cotton, so more bamboo can be grown per acre. Its ability to store up water means it uses less of that too, saving resources. Breathe easy - bamboo crops put 35% more oxygen into the atmosphere than the same space used in growing trees.
Making the switch to bamboo underwear doesn’t just benefit the environment. Bamboo garments are great for a number of reasons, such as breathability, their hypoallergenic nature, comfort and absorbance. One of the biggest benefits of bamboo underwear is its moisture-wicking properties, which makes them at least four times as absorbent as cotton. This helps your body to breathe, whilst staying cool and dry, even when exercising. Bamboo underwear is also naturally antibacterial and antimicrobial, which makes it the perfect hypoallergenic material.

Bamboo is not only extremely breathable, which in turn makes it cool against the skin, but it is also extremely comfortable to be worn time after time. This is because bamboo underwear is far softer than cotton, with a texture that’s often compared to cashmere or silk. So it’s incredibly comfortable against your skin.
