HERE'S THE MOST COMFY (AND SUSTAINABLE) UNDIES YOU WILL EVER WEAR!
We all love bamboo viscose t-shirts and dresses - they are so comfy! - but did you know you can get bamboo viscose underwear as well? And the fabric quietly rivalling traditional fabrics, like cotton for its comfort and sustainability. As sustainability becomes a priority for consumers across various aspects of life, including underwear choices, bamboo emerges as a great alternative.
With its fast growth and reduced water consumption, bamboo offers a more environmentally friendly option compared to cotton. When it comes to bamboo viscose, not all options are equal, especially in terms of sustainability. One crucial aspect is the environmental impact of the production process, from start to finish.
Recognising this, Greg Taylor, the founder of Step One, has taken steps to obtain FSC certification for his brand. Being FSC certified means that the bamboo used in the production process meets the standards set by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) for responsible and sustainable sourcing.
It ensures that the bamboo is harvested and produced in a manner that considers environmental, social, and economic factors, promoting the well-being of forests and the communities involved. Step One's focus on environmental sustainability has earned them high customer satisfaction, with their underwear selling at a rate of one pair every approximately 8 seconds in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. While cotton has long been recommended for its gentle and breathable qualities in underwear, many are now discovering the superior softness and smoothness of bamboo viscose.
Bamboo viscose offers enhanced breathability, regulating body temperature for a cool and comfortable feel, unlike synthetic fabrics such as polyester or nylon that repel moisture and may leave you feeling sweaty.
And, if an active lifestyle is part of your life, rest assured that bamboo viscose brings added benefits. With its antimicrobial properties, it can effectively minimize odors, ensuring you stay fresh throughout the day.
Moreover, bamboo viscose is hypoallergenic, making it an excellent option for people with sensitive skin or allergies.
