Bamboo Basics or Urban Quest for everyday underwear

Short answer: Both brands make simple everyday underwear in bamboo viscose without decoration. The difference lies in the breadth of the range and in how often the items are sold in packs.

Two ranges with the same idea

Both stick to few models in many colours that recur season after season. That makes topping up later easy. See Bamboo Basics and Urban Quest.

Packs or single purchase

Bamboo Basics has the most multipacks, while Urban Quest is more often sold singly. If the whole drawer is being replaced, the packs are cheapest per piece. See them in bamboo underwear for women.

For men

Both have underpants and vests. If you want to compare the fit, the models lie side by side in bamboo underpants for men.

For women

Knickers are the biggest group at both, and the shapes cover the most used models. See them in bamboo knickers.

Washing and lifespan

The material is the same, so the lifespan is mostly a question of washing. 40 degrees, no fabric softener and no tumble dryer. See the washing guide.

Frequently asked questions

Are the differences big?

No. Both are simple basics brands. The difference lies in the breadth of the range and in pack sizes.

Which brand should I choose?

Choose by model and fit rather than by brand. Try one pair first if you are in doubt.

Can they be mixed in the drawer?

Yes. They are washed the same way and have calm colours that work together.
