Hear me out:
Bamboo pajamas
I WFH so negl I am in jammies most of the time (yeah I throw on a corporate tshirt for the annoying "cams-on" zooms but still wearing jammie bottoms)
Wife got bamboo onesies for the baby. So soft. Then she found they also make adult jammies of the same material. Omfg. Where was this all my life till now?
You have not lived till you wear soft bamboo clothes. Worth every penny.
I remember hearing back during COVID when everyone was WFH that sales of business pants had tanked. Sales of business shirts hadn't. So that tracks.
Also try micromodal which is even softer than bamboo!
Interesting, never heard of this till now. May become my new go-to.
Internet rabbit hole summary:
Jesus Christ, it's like ecocide not to switch to the softer alternative.
Moreover, to my surprise, the prices are about the same. Top and bottom are each in the ~$35-45 range, or an oversize sleep shirt for ~$50-60
Down sides, apparently Bamboo:
Anyway, ordered a identical pair off Etsy for myself and the wife. Will be fun to compare.
Thank you, Fedi Person!
Awesome, hope you and the wife love them! And I didn't even know about the sustainable sourcing, that's so cool to hear.
I got a set of micromodal boxer briefs a year ago because they were deeply discounted (new product launch) and they were such a game changer that I bought a few more sets at full price and threw away all my cotton ones. They all still look like the day I got them, no pilling or visible wear. They're currently the only micromodal clothes I own, but I wouldn't wear anything else for underwear.
I've found that my bamboo garments stretch out and pill. Is that a common thing for bamboo or did I get unlucky with the quality?
I have not had that experience.
My go-to brands have been Posh Peanut and Lil Sleepies
