One of the main questions we got as well was about why we chose bamboo. And if you haven't actually owned bamboo underwear or been into a shop where you can actually feel the fabric, it's really amazing. It's super soft. It's really breathable. It's moisture-wicking. It's odour neutralizing. So it's great actually for people who are running about their day. That's why a lot of companies are starting to flick over in new tee shirts, singlets, as well as your underwear, and even some of your athleisure. It actually allows you to go about doing what you want to do during the day and takes away the sweat and all the nasties from it.
As women, we know that things can happen if you're wearing synthetics regularly and in a day and age where athleisure's a massive part of what we wear as women, you're constantly wearing something that's not breathable. You want to actually ensure that what you've got underneath, and it's one of the main reasons we actually chose bamboo. I learnt about it when I was in the bedding industry. It was just starting to come in. A lot of people talking about the heat that they had in their mattresses and we were putting bamboo fibres or layers of it to actually disperse some of that natural body heat and take some of that away from you. So that's why we chose bamboo in all of our range of women's briefs, boyleg shorts, and g-strings.

Trying to find the right underwear size can be difficult due to different companies making different sizes. To make things easier we have created a step by step guide to take the guess work out of the equation.
Below we have measuring instructions with images to assist you.
All you need to do is take a couple of simple measurements; your waist, your lower waist and your hips. The best way to do this is by using a soft measuring tape and a mirror to ensure you are accurate. If possible stand in front of a mirror when taking your measurements to ensure that the measuring tape is also parallel to the floor and is flat.
Your waist is the natural in indentation above your hips or just below your rib cage (see image). Wrap the soft measuring tape around firmly without pitching your skin together – write this measurement down.
Your lower waist is approx. 12cm down from your waist. Take your measuring tape and run this down from your waist to 12cm (see image). Wrap the soft measuring tape around this area firmly without pitching your skin together – write this measurement down.
Now wrap the soft measuring tape around the fullest part of your hips, this is approximately 25cm below your waist (see image). Use the mirror to check that your measuring tape is completely straight and parallel to the floor – write this measurement down.
All you need to do is take a couple of simple measurements; your Full Bust and your Lower or under bust. The best way to do this is by using a soft measuring tape and a mirror to ensure you are accurate.
Your Full Bust is the fullest part of your bust (see image). Ensure that the measuring tape is completely straight and parallel to the floor. Wrap the soft measuring tape around firmly without pitching your skin together – write this measurement down
The Lower or Under bust is measured by wrapping the measuring tape around your rib cage directly under your bust (see image). Wrap the soft measuring tape around firmly without pitching your skin together – write this measurement down
