Breathability
Bamboo muslin cotton is significantly more breathable than other materials as it’s derived from plant fibres so can regulate your baby’s body temperature, keeping it constant. It’s great for those warmer summer months thanks to its hollow fibres and in the winter it’s also great as insulation and a warm underlayer. This also makes it smell fresher for longer due to the excellent ventilation and ensures baby stays drier for longer as bamboo muslin cotton absorbs moisture three times more efficiently than other fabrics which helps to absorb sweat when your little one gets too hot and, therefore, avoids overheating.
Great on sensitive skin & hypoallergenic
Bamboo muslin cotton doesn’t have any sharp fibres or spurs coming off of it so it’s ideal for babies who suffer with eczema or allergies as it won’t irritate them. It is incredibly gentle on sensitive skin.
Good for the environment
Bamboo requires no pesticides or artificial fertilisers to grow and can continually be re-harvested after every cut. It also doesn’t require much water to grow, so doesn’t use up valuable water resources. The bamboo plant also absorbs around five times more carbon dioxide and produces around 35% more oxygen than the average tree which is great news for the environment too! Bamboo is also 100% biodegradable so products made from it can be composted.
Can grow anywhere
Bamboo has lightning fast growth and can grow almost anywhere – even on sides of mountains were other crops can’t. Bamboo also improves the fertility of the soil on which it grows as, when it’s cut, it’s not uprooted and can can grow over and over again.
