ADVANTAGES OF BAMBOO

It may be hard to imagine deliciously soft underwear made from such sturdy bamboo stalks. Underwear made from bamboo viscose is one of a kind, and that manifests itself in a number of distinctive properties. Properties that especially have a positive impact on comfort. Namely, bamboo viscose is wonderfully soft, breathable and absorbent. In addition, compared to conventional textiles, it also has a positive impact on global environmental problems such as water scarcity, deforestation, soil erosion, the greenhouse effect and the current nitrogen problem. Despite bamboo textiles becoming increasingly popular, the majority of consumers are still ignorant about bamboo clothing and its production.

The development of the bamboo viscose we use is sustainable, but is this also the case with other producers? For example, chemicals are also used in the development of bamboo viscose. When these are not handled responsibly, they are potentially environmentally damaging. When a supplier does not meet our standards, we take immediate action. The owner of Pavone visits our supplier of bamboo and different ateliers we work with every year.

The benefits of Pavone bamboo underwear are diverse. Besides the fact that all women's briefs and men's boxers are designed by the Dutch owner and are therefore very unique, the briefs have a special application. The bamboo women's and men's underwear is designed with a special section made of bamboo which eliminates the use of a panty liner. These gussets are incorporated into the briefs so that you are always provided with extra security unseen in the event of unwanted urine loss, for example.

The gussets in all Pavone items are made of bamboo and consist of 3 different layers including bamboo fleece. The 3-layer crotch in all Pavone women's briefs and men's underwear is composed of a top layer made of bamboo fleece; this fabric feels extra soft, absorbs quickly and stays dry to the touch. The middle layer is bamboo bath fabric; this is an extra absorption layer. The bottom layer is a wafer-thin moisture-wicking layer made of polyurethane, which is pressed to the bamboo-bath fabric so it won't shift. This section is initially made as a separate part of the briefs, only once the bamboo jersey is cut is this section sewn into the men's boxers. Because of this technique, the protective part can never shift and is invisible to others.
