What is a bamboo towel made of?

Bamboo towels are made from fabric spun from bamboo fibres into something softer than silk and more sumptuous than cashmere. Here at Panda, our bamboo fabric is perfectly matched with long-staple cotton. This is the best type of cotton you can find, which is why it goes so well with our natural bamboo. The result is a fluffy but durable and absorbent towel that stays soft wash after wash.

Benefits of bamboo towels

If you’re looking for new towels, bamboo is the way to go: it’s super soft and has so many beneficial properties, making it the perfect choice for the whole family. Hypoallergenic and naturally antibacterial, it’s kind to your bare skin, even for those with eczema and other skin conditions. These allergy-friendly towels just feel incredible; the softness of bamboo fabric is unmatched, and your towel won’t lose this over time either.

Environmental benefits

Bamboo towels aren’t just gentle on the skin! They are also one of the best green living options if you’re trying to be more sustainable in your homeware shopping choices, thanks to the incredible way in which bamboo is grown and cultivated. This wonder-plant grows quickly and requires one-third of the water that cotton does. It also regenerates incredibly well after being cut down, which is what makes it such a great option for the textile industry. When shopping for organic towels or non-toxic bedroom products, you’ll be pleased to know that bamboo fabric production is a chemical-free process.

How to choose a bamboo towel

When deciding on which bamboo towel to buy, there are a few things to look out for. You should purchase from a brand who has a transparent environmental policy, as well as thorough information about where they get their bamboo. And of course, you’ll want to make sure it’s the best quality it can be! At Panda, our towels are ‘zero twist’ – because the natural fibres are so strong, they don’t need to be twisted in order to be durable. This makes them less dense, and therefore they stay fluffier for longer. If you’re still unsure, buying in store gives you the opportunity to feel just how amazing a bamboo towel is before you commit…

Maintenance and care

Another benefit of bamboo towels is that they last for a really long time – especially if you take care of them. It’s not too tricky: bamboo towels should be washed on a cool setting with eco-friendly products, and definitely no bleach! Drying your towels on the line will ensure they stay soft and fluffy. And that’s about it; look after your towels, and they’ll look after you.
