Bamboo fabric’s natural antibacterial and hypoallergenic properties make it perfect for clothes which fit close to your body such as socks and underwear. Bamboo clothing is also quick to absorb moisture, more so than cotton, keeping you dry and odour free; again making it an ideal choice for intimate apparel.

As well as feeling good on the skin, choosing bamboo socks and underwear has other advantages. Bamboo is a sustainable resource which is produced without the use of pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals. This means the soil in which bamboo is grown retains its micro and macro organisms, ensuring the fertility of the soil. The lack of toxic chemical runoff also means that local waterways such as rivers and streams will not become polluted. Other benefits to the environment are that bamboo crops require much less water than cotton and they produce much more oxygen. Overall, it’s a great plant which can be made into many products including affordable bamboo underwear and socks.

Bamboo Socks for Men, Women, and Babies

A wide variety of bamboo socks are available and in various sizes and colours. Choose from:

• bamboo ankle socks
• bamboo sports socks
• bamboo 1/4 athletic crew socks
• bamboo 3/4 athletic crew socks
• bamboo baby socks

The fabric used varies depending on the socks but is generally made of 85% bamboo and 15% nylon. They are very absorbent and soft and are ideal for playing sport or just everyday wear.

Bamboo Women’s Underwear

The bamboo underwear pictured is made of bamboo, cotton, and nylon to keep you comfortable and dry. Styles available include:

• bamboo low rise hipster bikini
• bamboo high leg brief
• bamboo thong panties
• bamboo g-string

Bamboo Sports Bra

This bamboo sports bra is lightweight and the breathable bamboo fabric will keep you cool when working out. It provides support but is soft enough to allow you plenty of freedom of movement. It is made of a blend of bamboo and organic cotton. It would be nice to see it available in other colours but hopefully that will happen in the not so distant future.

Bamboo Men’s Underwear

While it’s a great idea to get your man some bamboo underwear, I don’t think much of these 70% bamboo/30% organic cotton boxer shorts. It’s nothing to do with the fabric but I think the design leaves a lot to be desired. They are just too big and baggy. However, I’m sure there are some guys out there that love this kind of thing so if that’s the case then go for it.

These bamboo underwear and socks are available online at Shirts of Bamboo.
