Bamboo is a long wearing fabric. Don't let its soft feel fool you! Bamboo fabric is long-lasting and can be worn for years. At Salts & West we love bamboo fabric for our
bamboo leggings. This makes bamboo underwear a terrific investment. Adding bamboo to your wardrobe not only feels great, but is sustainable for your wallet and the planet.
Bamboo fabric has antibacterial properties. Bamboo fabrics have been shown to have natural antibacterial tendencies. This is perfect for our sensitive private areas. This is wonderful news to help those who struggle with yeast or infections in that area, which is very common.\
Bamboo is a temperature regulating fabric. Wearing bamboo next to the skin is terrific, as it is a fabric that regulates temperature and keeps the wearer at an even body temp. It feels warm in the winter and cooler when the weather is hot. Many people say that they do not like to wear other fabrics next to the skin after trying bamboo clothing.
Bamboo Underwear and Bras hold their shape with wear. Unlike 100% cotton underwear and bras, bamboo underwear holds its shape with wear. When spandex is added to the fabric like in our
bamboo underwear collection, the fabric maintains its original shape and support even with extended wear.
With all these benefits, bamboo fabric is definitely a terrific choice for underwear. We love to use bamboo to make many of our classing clothing pieces, including our Bamties bamboo underwear.
Bamties bamboo underwear are made from the leftover smaller pieces from our local slow fashion clothing production. They are not only soft and so comfortable, but help reduce waste when we make bamboo clothing.
Eco fashion can definitely look great and feel amazing.
