Bamboo Dressing Gown – Luxury After Your Shower
Short answer: A bamboo dressing gown feels like a small spa moment at home: bamboo towelling is softer than cotton towelling, soaks up the water quickly after a shower and breathes, so you never feel clammy. At the same time the material stays fresh for longer between washes.
Why the bamboo dressing gown feels so soft
The fibres in bamboo viscose are finer and smoother than cotton fibres, and you notice it clearly in a towelling gown. The surface feels almost velvety soft against wet skin. Have a look at the selection of bamboo dressing gowns for women and bamboo dressing gowns for men.
Soaks up water and breathes at the same time
Bamboo fibres absorb moisture quickly, so the gown dries you off effectively after a shower. At the same time the moisture escapes again, so the gown does not turn heavy and clammy to wear. It is the same property that makes bamboo towels so popular, and you can read more about the principle in the article about bamboo and temperature regulation.
More than a bathroom garment
A bamboo dressing gown is also ideal for slow mornings, days working from home and cold evenings on the sofa. Because the material slows bacterial growth, the gown stays fresh even when you use it every day.
