Boody or Bamboo Basics for knickers

Short answer: Boody is known for very thin models with flat edges, while Bamboo Basics is more often sold in multipacks with a little more fabric. The choice depends on whether you rate invisibility or price per pair higher.

Thinness and visibility

The Boody models are drawn thin, and the edges lie flat without a thick elastic. That makes them hard to see under tight clothes. See the range in Boody.

Price per pair

Bamboo Basics sells a lot in packs, and that brings the price per pair down. If the whole drawer is being replaced, that is the cheapest route. See the packs in Bamboo Basics.

The shapes

Both cover the most used models for everyday wear. Neither is a seasonal brand, so you can top up with the same cuts later. See them together in bamboo knickers.

For sensitive skin

Flat seams and few edges mean less chafing. That speaks for the thin models if your skin reacts to pressure. More on that in knickers for sensitive skin.

Washing

Both brands are washed the same way: 40 degrees, no fabric softener and air drying. Fabric softener leaves a film that reduces the ability of the fabric to take up moisture. See the washing guide.
