Why Bamboo Clothing Is Becoming Popular
When you think of bamboo, do you instantly conjure up an image of a panda gleefully munching away on his tasty treat? For most people, when you mention bamboo, they think of jungles and ancient civilizations. Others are aware that it is used as a construction material, but very few people know bamboo is used to make clothing.In fact, this is probably one of the biggest benefits to using bamboo.
Did you know that when it is used in clothing, bamboo is one of the softest fabrics known to man? Many compare fine bamboo clothing to touching cashmere or silk, both of which are very luxurious fabrics. Bamboo clothing is very breathable and is made into just about any kind of clothing you can imagine. It can keep you cool and refreshed in the summer and toasty warm in the winter.
The best thing of all is that bamboo clothing is much less expensive than silk or cashmere, and to boot it is eco-friendly as well. You won't pay any more for a pair of bamboo pants than you would ones that are made of cotton!
Bamboo can be harvested without damaging the environment, and bamboo plantations require very little energy to maintain, which makes it the perfect fabric to help us protect the earth. The material is completely bio-degradable and requires no pesticides to grow.
Most high quality bamboo clothing manufacturers use raw bamboo that has aged for several years and studies have shown that after dozens of washes, the material still retains its natural anti-bacterial base.
Since bamboo fibers have many micro-gaps, it is an extremely breathable fabric. This allows it to wick away moisture with natural ventilation. Compared to both cotton and nylon, Bamboo fabric is much softer, more absorbent and more resistant to germs and bacteria.
Today you can find bamboo clothing for adults, kids and babies alike. There are also bamboo towels, bed sheets, comforters, pillows and almost anything else you can make from cotton and other similar fabrics.
Hopefully, the next time you buy a new wardrobe, you will consider buying some bamboo clothing. It is quickly becoming one of the most sought after fabrics for those who want to look stylish, while also being eco-friendly! Be sure to also let friends and family know about the benefits of bamboo so they may enjoy it as well.
