Women’s Bamboo Knickers
Bamboo underwear has been bandied about in the sustainable clothing world. While it’s certainly a better option than polyester, it falls off the sustainability rails when you consider how it’s made. Bamboo linen or rayon is made by processing bamboo pulp into fabric. That’s a process that uses a lot of chemicals and produces a very thick, bulky, scratchy fabric—not ideal for womens bamboo underwear. That’s why we like to recommend hemp underwear instead of bamboo knickers for our readers who are looking for a soft, comfortable and silky option. Hemp requires fewer chemicals to make and is super breathable and absorbent. It’s also naturally antibacterial and odour-eliminating.
So, if you’re interested in buying women’s bamboo knickers, here are some brands to check out.
Ham & Sam makes bamboo lingerie in the UK with organic cotton and certified organic viscose blends. They have boyshorts, thongs, camis and high waisted briefs. They are GOTS-approved and size-inclusive offering small, medium, large, extra-large, double extra-large and quintuple extra-large. The company believes that fashion can be responsible and has environmental and animal welfare policies in place.
Tasc Performance makes bras for women in a variety of sizes. They offer two types of sports bras, the ALLways and Rhythm. The ALLways bra is a mid-impact sports bra that’s made of 51% organic cotton, 34% bamboo viscose, and 15% elastane. It’s breathable, has four-way stretch and is moisture-wicking. The Rhythm bra is a light impact bra with removable cups, a four-way stretch, and covered elastic bottom bands for support. Tasc is a sustainable business that uses solar power during production and recycles the water used in the drying process.
BAM offers a wide range of styles from hipster shorts to lace-trimmed thongs and bikini briefs. The lace-trimmed ones are a little more sexy than the plain ones. The knickers help to reduce sweating, unpleasant odours and won’t cause itching or irritation down there. They also thermo-regulate the temperature so you’ll feel cooler in hot weather and warmer in colder weather. The knickers are made with 90% bamboo and 10% spandex. They come in packs of five, three and two. women’s bamboo knickers
