Bamboo Fabric – How To Cut Down On Body Odor

The emergence of bamboo fabric as a serious rival to more traditional fabrics isn’t going unnoticed. The qualities that come with bamboo fabrics has meant that more and more people who suffer from certain types of allergens are turning to it in droves.

Bamboo Kun is a property which enables bamboo fabric to retain anti-bacterial qualities despite constant washing. This alone makes bamboo a particularly attractive alternative to traditional fabrics.

Benefits Of Bamboo Fabric

- Keeping bacteria off the skin is a problem with many types of fabric. Not so bamboo. Then there’s the issue of body odor which can be caused through bacteria on the skin. By wearing clothes that are made of bamboo, you can reduce the amount of bacteria that thrives on your skin thus also effectively reducing the likelihood of emitting offensive body smell.

- The absorbent qualities of bamboo is another big plus in it’s favor. Research has shown it can hold up to three times it’s weight in water. This ability to hold a lot of water makes bamboo fiber ideal for inner clothing.

- The porous nature of bamboo fibers means it helps in keeping and absorbing moisture away from the skin helping it to evaporate away. This means that if you are wearing clothes that are made of bamboo clothing during a hot day, you do not have to soak in your sweat uncomfortably for a long time.

- Many people who may be allergic to other fibers including wool should consider bamboo fabric because of it’s hypoallergenic qualities. If you are one of those people who are allergic to wool or hemp, you should consider using bamboo fiber instead and save yourself from all the itching, sneezing and discomforts associated with fiber allergies.

- The versatility of bamboo clothing also needs to be mentioned. It has a silk-like look and feel yet it is more resistant to a washing machine cycle and will handle a drier. Many other fabrics need the addition of additives to prevent wrinkling but bamboo has the ability to withstand this. In other words, it is a sturdy fabric yet can hold it’s own in the fashion stakes.

    Texas does not have "hot days" but we do have bad weather days. I think it would be true for Hawaii also.

    I may read it in more detail, but to be polite, I don’t see a lot of merit in the thesis the author is proposing. (This is not to say I’m disputing all individually presented facts and phenomena, but certainly the conclusion does not seem to carry a lot of water.)

    Yeah, today was going to be R&R for me, too, but now I’m spending the day scrubbing/vacuuming my apartment and taking everything I own that could possibly go into a washing machine to the laundromat. Oh, and I should probably get ready for tomorrow’s classes, too. And cook. I need to cook.

    I don't know if there is a correlation between autism and early onset of puberty, but I have Asperger's syndrome and puberty started very early for me (age 8-9).

    How much body odor does he have? If it's strong or if his peers are starting to notice and maybe make comments then it might be good to start using a deodorant. If it's not that strong yet and if his peers are not paying attention to it yet, then I think you can wait with the deodorant.
