Bamboo is a much better alternative to cotton due to all the wonderful benefits it has for the consumer and the environment. By encouraging the growth and utilization of bamboo we can begin to battle global warming and reduce our use of water tremendously. The bamboo material has wonderful benefits as well, such as its odor resistant, has moisture control and thermo control for performance in all temperatures. The material is strong so it never looses its shape and it is 100% biodegradable!
