When you buy clothes, you probably focus on how the pieces look before you think about how the fabric feels. But if you're anything like us, you probably take it a step further and think about the fabrics you'll be wearing. We're also willing to bet that you're looking for something that's soft, affordable and eco-friendly too. The solution:bamboo clothing. It's so luxurious and smooth you'll wonder why you never thought of that before. If you've ever had any doubts about the contents of your wardrobe, consider the benefits of bamboo clothing for you and the environment.
Stronger than cotton
Despite its softness, bamboo fibers are one of the strongest and one of the most affordable fabrics. Whether you're talking about a women's bamboo t-shirt, pants, sheets or towels, bamboo clothing has a long life if it is cared for properly. The care is simple and efficient. It does not crease and is machine washable in cold water. Fabric softener is not necessary and is not recommended. Bamboo materials also require less washing than cotton, which also plays a role in a product's life cycle. In addition, bamboo has a beautiful, natural color that lasts for quite a long time without the need for excessive dyes.
Softer than cotton
Bamboo is compared to some of the most luxurious fabrics such as silk or cashmere, but costs much less. Another plus of this soft material is that it is also hypoallergenic and can be worn by anyone without causing allergic reactions or skin irritation, while that is not always the case with cotton. Bamboo clothing is made with wearer comfort in mind. A light fabric, gentle on the skin and naturally soft.
Good for your skin
No one wants itchy clothes, and if you have sensitive skin, you know that even cotton can be irritating. The hypoallergenic properties and silky texture of bamboo mean it never irritates you, making it ideal for layers closest to your body, such as bamboo underwear. Bamboo underwear ladies has the perfect fit and is very comfortable and feels luxurious. In addition, bamboo is an antibacterial substance, which helps reduce bacteria that thrive on clothing and other materials, as well as on the skin. An added bonus? Bamboo blocks 98 percent of harmful UV rays.
Bamboo is more absorbent and breathable than cotton
Our bodies sweat and the air gives off moisture, and sometimes this can become irritating, embarrassing or just plain uncomfortable when we wear a material that doesn't absorb moisture quickly. Bamboo absorbs up to 70% more moisture than cotton, wicks away moisture faster, and keeps you dry and comfortable more easily. Moisture-resistant clothing is perfect for people who are always on the go, as the fabric wicks sweat away from the body to the outside of the garment.
Bamboo is environmentally friendly
The great thing about bamboo is that it is a very sustainable, natural option that is environmentally friendly, especially when compared to many other synthetic materials. The reason behind bamboo's durability comes from the fact that the bamboo plant is technically classified as grass and it is a fast growing plant that needs almost no water. Rainwater is sufficient. When bamboo is cut, the roots are left behind and brand new culms can grow, meaning the same plant can be harvested time and time again. Not only does bamboo grow quickly, it is also resistant to pests, meaning bamboo does not require any pesticides. Finally, bamboo is 100 percent biodegradable, making it as kind to the planet as it is to your closet.
Controls the temperature all year round
The best thing about bamboo clothing is that it is very comfortable to wear all seasons. It is warm in winter and breathable in summer. So you don't need a special summer and winter wardrobe – with bamboo clothing you feel comfortable all year round.
