Copenhagen Bamboo briefs and underpants in the own brand
Short answer: Copenhagen Bamboo makes both knickers and underpants in bamboo viscose with flat seams and soft edges. The range is built on a few styles in many sizes and colours.
Few styles, many sizes
The focus is on the styles people buy again: hipster and classic briefs for women, and boxers and briefs for men. Instead of new cuts every season, the same styles come in more sizes and colours. See the full range at Copenhagen Bamboo.
Why bamboo viscose
Bamboo viscose is soft and smooth and moves moisture away from the skin. In underwear, that means the fabric feels dry and calm against the body all day. It is a good choice if you are bothered by materials that itch or feel clammy.
Knickers for women
The knickers are made for everyday wear, with soft edges that do not dig in and a fit that follows the body. The hipster sits low on the hip, while the classic style gives more coverage. See the styles in bamboo knickers.
Waist height
The styles come in several waist heights. A low waist suits low rise trousers, while a higher waist gives more coverage and stays in place better under dresses and skirts. Compare the styles in bamboo underwear for women.
Underpants for men
For men it is mainly boxers that sit close without squeezing. The waistband is soft and stays in place, even when you move a lot. See the styles in bamboo underpants for men, where you will find both short and long legs.
With or without long legs
Boxers with long legs do not ride up and stop the thighs from rubbing together. The short styles and briefs are lighter and suit those who prefer less fabric. See the whole group in bamboo underwear for men and choose for your everyday life.
Flat seams and soft edges
Underwear sits against the skin all day, so the details matter. Flat seams do not press, and soft edges show less through clothing. That keeps the underwear discreet under thin trousers and dresses, and it feels calmer when you sit for hours.
Washing and replacing
Underwear wears fastest at the elastic. Wash at 40 degrees without fabric softener, and let it air dry rather than using a tumble dryer. Replace it when the edge is slack. More advice in the washing guide for bamboo clothing.
Several pairs of the same style
Because the styles return season after season, you can buy more pairs of what works instead of starting over each time. It is the simplest way to own underwear that fits. When all pairs are the same, they also wear evenly.
Getting started
Start with two or three pairs in the style closest to what you wear today, and notice the difference in daily life. If the size and cut are right, buy more of the same. If not, it is easy to try another waist height or leg length.
Frequently asked questions
How often should underwear be replaced?
It depends on wear and washing. Replace it when the elastic has gone slack or the fabric has become thin, because then the underwear no longer sits properly on the body.
Can bamboo underwear go in a normal machine wash?
Yes, 40 degrees is enough for underwear in bamboo viscose. Avoid fabric softener and the tumble dryer, and the fabric stays soft and the elastic keeps its shape for longer.
Which style should I start with?
Choose the style closest to what you already wear and like. That makes it easier to notice the difference in the material, and you are more likely to get the size right first time.
