How Your Body Benefits from Bamboo Fabric
How Your Body Benefits from Bamboo Fabric
Bamboo fabric is not just for the bedroom and bathroom – it’s also the perfect fabric for active, eco-friendly living. Along with its soft, luxurious feel, it is highly durable, breathable, and moisture-wicking. Best of all, it’s a fabric you can feel good about wearing because it is made from a sustainable, renewable plant source.
While we might not immediately think of bamboo as something we would like to wear, clothing made from bamboo fibre is highly beneficial to today’s lifestyle. Let’s look at some of the many ways that your body benefits from bamboo fabric:
Bamboo Fabric is Insulating
Bamboo’s hollow microfibers provide superior insulation, keeping you warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Studies have been conducted that prove bamboo to lower heat transmission and resistance significantly over cotton fabric.
Bamboo is Hypoallergenic
Bamboo is the natural choice for anybody with sensitive skin or dermal allergies. Bamboo does not retain moisture or develop mould or mildew and is made from fibres grown without the aid of pesticides or harsh chemicals. This means that there is nothing to interfere with your body’s natural processes – no matter how sensitive or allergic you may be.
Bamboo Absorbs Moisture
Bamboo is the perfect fabric for active wear and exercise clothing. It wicks moisture away from the skin and keeps you cool no matter how much you sweat! It is self-regulating, which means it also provides good thermal protection in colder months. Perfect for runners and fitness enthusiasts all year-round, bamboo exercise wear will help you stay on your game.
Bamboo is Antimicrobial, Antibacterial, and UV Resistant
Another aspect that makes bamboo fabric perfect for the active lifestyle is that it is antibacterial and antimicrobial. It also blocks the sun’s harmful UV rays, giving you an extra layer of protection against today’s intense and potentially damaging sunshine.
Bamboo is more Durable than other Fabrics
In addition to being extraordinarily comfortable to wear, bamboo fabric is more durable than cotton. Because it does not absorb and retain moisture and odours, you won’t have to wash it as often, but even if you do, your bamboo clothing will likely outlast everything else in your wardrobe. This alone proves its value over the long-term – just one more benefit in a list that’s already quite long!
