Bamboo fabric is soft and combats odor – ideal for t-shirts like this one from Shirts of Bamboo.

Bamboo fabric is luxuriously soft, breathable, and faster drying and better wicking than cotton. It’s also antimicrobial, which means it won’t hold onto body odors the way some fabrics do. In other words, it’s the perfect fabric for towels and T’s!

T-Shirts for All Occasions

If what you’re looking for is just a classic T, look no further than Onno.  They offer luxurious 70% bamboo/30%organic cotton T shirts. Available in short sleeve or long, undyed or in any of a number of deep, rich, colors, they have shirts for every member of the family.

Or for personal use, turn that T-shirt idea you’ve always wished you had into reality

Bamboo in the Bath

Moving on to the bath, bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth – and it’s growing just as fast in the marketplace. Even some mainstream retailers are catching on to the fact that bamboo is the ideal fabric for moisture management.

Land’s End offers a couple different bamboo bath sets. But if you want to go 100% bamboo, you’ll want to seek out dedicated eco-fiber stores.

Besides tops, Shirts of Bamboo also offers thirsty bamboo towels in a rainbow of colors, as well as hooded terry robes and even soap made from this versatile grass. Another site to check out is Ecochoices, which features 100% bamboo towels in Basic and Luxury weights.

If you haven’t yet, give bamboo fiber a try. It’s an economical choice as natural fibers go, and chances are once you’ve tried it, you’ll find yourself seeking out more!
