When you want to stay cool and comfy down under, kick those bulky cotton and suffocating synthetic panties to the curb in lieu of some breathable bamboo underwear. Bamboo viscose is super lightweight, extremely breathable, naturally moisture-wicking, and antibacterial.
We’ve found great panties for pregnant and plus-size women, as well as teeny bikinis, hipsters, high waist styles, and even period panties, that are leak-proof and allow you to ditch your pads, panty liners, and tampons altogether. Another green option we think is genius.
Because bamboo fabric feels lighter and silkier than cotton, is a seriously comfortable choice for clothing – from panties and bras to tanks, tees, and more. There are tons of bamboo clothing options out there and we found the best underwear for women.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon We’re crazy about these boyleg briefs because they’re so spunky, along with being cute and comfy. These kick it up a notch because they’re made from 80 percent rayon made from bamboo, 13 percent nylon, and seven percent spandex. That means they breathe, which helps to control heat and humidity in your nether regions.
While these are called briefs, we’d lean toward calling them hipsters, because they fall about halfway between your belly button and bikini line. The rear features a cheeky fit. We love that the boyleg cut isn’t too long, so they won’t ever bunch up under your jeans. You’ll also love knowing this bamboo rayon was organically and ethically harvested. Get these panties in six colors and sizes from X-Small to X-Large.
The EcoWear Midi Brief is made with the same great fabric and comes in similar sizes and colors. The Brazilian Bikini reveals a lot of cheek in back, while the EcoWear G-String Thong Panties pretty much bare your whole bum.
