How to test a new brand without spending too much

Short answer: Buy one item in the product type you use most and wear it for a month. After thirty days you know whether fit, elastic and colour hold up.

Choose the type you use most

If you test with something you rarely wear, you get no answer. Choose daily use. See bamboo underwear for women.

One month is enough

After four to five washes you can see whether the shape holds and the colour fades. See bamboo t-shirts for women.

Wash as you normally do

Test under your own conditions. If you wash at 40 degrees, do that in the test too. See bamboo clothing for women.

Only buy more afterwards

If the test goes well, buy the multipack. If it goes badly, you only spent on one item. See Bamboo Basics.
