Festival Underwear – Several Days in Comfort

Short answer: A festival makes big demands on your underwear: hot days, dancing, few showers and a sleeping bag. Bamboo underwear is the obvious choice for a festival, because it keeps you dry, controls odour and stays comfortable, even when the rest of your hygiene routine is running on low.

Why the material is decisive at a festival

When a shower is a luxury, your underwear has to work extra hard. Bamboo viscose wicks sweat away and slows the bacterial growth that causes odour, so you stay fresh longer than you would in cotton. See the range of bamboo underwear for men and bamboo underwear for women.

Pack right: one pair a day plus a spare

Clean underwear every day is the cheapest festival luxury there is. Pack one pair per day and one extra, and put bamboo socks in your bag too, feet in wellies sweat more than you think, read the post about bamboo socks against sweaty feet.

Comfort in heat and cold

A festival day swings from baking sun to cold nights in the tent. The temperature-regulating properties of bamboo viscose help in both directions, read how in the post about bamboo and temperature regulation.
