Bamboo bath towels are not only soft and silky, they also have antibacterial properties and absorb moisture three times better than cotton.
Bamboo bedding
Bamboo is an environmentally friendly, natural material that has long been known both in the East and in the West. And it’s a sin not to use such a fast-growing plant – after all, the bamboo stem increases by 1 cm per day and for this it does not need any fertilizers.
Terry towels, bathrobes and bamboo bedding have long been popular in Europe and the United States. And there are reasons for this.
According to manufacturers, bamboo fiber is superior in quality to 100% cotton. Bamboo towels are softer to the touch, absorb 3 times more moisture and have a silky shine (while natural cotton is matte). A 50 x 100 cm towel, for example, can absorb up to 1,5 liters of water.
Bamboo products are very durable – they can withstand up to 500 wash cycles without losing their original color and without changing in size.

Today bamboo fiber is used quite often in the textile industry. It is believed that it meets most of the requirements of modern consumers: good absorbency, softness and shine, wear resistance and ease of care.
Also, bamboo fiber has special natural properties – antibacterial and deodorizing. It protects well against UV rays.
Despite the positive characteristics of bamboo, I believe that comparing it to cotton is not correct. These materials are similar, but the main properties of the products depend more on the quality of the raw materials and their subsequent processing.

The main property of bamboo products valued in the West is their environmental friendliness (by the way, a property that causes a lot of controversy). Unlike other antibacterial fabrics that have undergone preliminary chemical treatment, this fabric has natural antimicrobial properties (bamboo itself in nature is practically not susceptible to attack by pests). As a result, bamboo fiber products are suitable for people with allergies and asthma.
Bamboo fiber also has a good porous structure, due to which moisture is instantly absorbed by the fabric and evaporates. Due to this property, creates comfort while sleeping by regulating your body temperature. By the way, it is made not only from 100% bamboo, but also from mixed fabrics – 50% bamboo, 50% cotton.
And finally, bamboo towels in their appearance are in no way inferior to the usual cotton ones: they can be of a variety of colors, they are decorated with embroidery, applique and embossing. If you wish, you can order a whole batch of such “exotic” for branded gifts.
The test results show:
- more than 70% of bacteria caught on bamboo fiber are destroyed naturally;
- after technological processing, the bamboo fiber has a rounded and smooth surface, due to which the products do not cause irritation on the human skin.
