Has anybody gotten into the bamboo craze? I found this cool store in Vancouver, BC that sells these wonderful, super-soft bamboo towels. I know they're supposed to be very eco-friendly (because bamboo grows fast w/o pesticides and whatnot), but I wonder if they're as absorbant as they're supposed to be, how they wash up, etc.

The sheets are appealing too, but again, I wonder how they wash, durability, etc.

?

They sound great. Do they have a website?

I have some socks - little booty type. Very airy, comfy and cool

Hmmm. sounds like something to look in to.

I would love to deck out my bathroom with some new towels and such.

I have bamboo sheets. I them. They are very soft and I haven't had any problems with washing them.

Never even heard of bamboo towels and sheets, need to check these out

I am just reading about them online. Bamboo towels are 3 times more absorbent than cotton ones. I wonder if the last along time, and are worth investing in?

I haven't had them for very long,but they seem like they are pretty durable. They are definitely better than some other sheets that I have bought.

MissMe said:

As you've discovered by now, a bunch of places carry them.

Glad to hear that at least nobody has had any bad experiences.

The company I work for carries these, so I could get them at a great discount. But I haven't yet because I don't know how they take to bleach. (I will not buy towels or sheets that can't be bleached.)

My tailor has been experimenting with bamboo fabrics and has a suit he does with it....i like the idea but the colouration of his fabrics does not suit my skin tones.



















God that sounded gay

I have used Beech tree fiber sheets for a couple yrs now and I love them so incredibly soft

Mach said:

Beech! Never heard of that. Cool.

Didn't know Target had bamboo stuff. I wonder if they have the towels.

mdiver said:

Yeah, a little.

HereToRockYourWorld said:

I do not know , we didnt look at towels

HereToRockYourWorld said:

I am trying to work out if it was the "my tailor" or "skin tones" bit that made me sound gay

mdiver said:

I don't really think it's an "either/or" sort of deal.

HereToRockYourWorld said:

gee thanks M.....

mdiver said:

I think it was the whole "experimentation with bamboo" and colouration of his fabricsssss" that did it for me.
