Wear Bamboo Underwear—It's Comfy

Bamboo, often used beneath the fingernails as an implement of torture, has other practical, perhaps more everyday, applications. They can make paper from bamboo. There is bamboo flooring, and they can even make bamboo into clothes. I’ve yet to find an oak shirt, so I don’t consider it going out on a limb (or a shoot?) to say that bamboo is ridiculously versatile. It’s one of the hippest, greenest materials on the market right now.

Bamboo, in whatever form, has many ecological benefits. It is rapidly renewable unlike many types of arboreality. Bamboo generates more oxygen than most trees, and items made from bamboo will biodegrade. Bamboo can also be grown without pesticides and using very little water.

And now bamboo is comes in underwear form. You can wear bamboo on your waist to hide your shameful bits from society at large. You'd think that bamboo made from something that can also be flooring would be like using a low-ply toilet paper that has the wood chunks still in, but that, my friends, is not the case.

Bamboo underwear is as comfortable as regular underwear. It looks like plain underpants, and pandas won't try to eat you, probably. Underwear made from bamboo dries faster than regular underwear.

It allows the body to breathe. It's chemical-free, and it deals with odors better than your Underoos with the Batmans on it. Bamboo underwear is what ecologically responsible people wear under there.
