Look, pandas have the monopoly on things most associated with bamboo and I think everyone is OK with that.

We’re not munching on the stuff, even on the weekly vegetarian night (don’t ask), but of late we have been hearing a great deal about how bamboo makes fantastic undies.

It’s something that’s rather difficult to wrap the head around, so we asked local Sexy Socks guru Dave Hutchison to lay it all bare.

Here’s what he had to say about the bamboo jocks craze:

1. It’s environmentally-friendly

Bamboo grows rapidly and requires only a small percentage of the water it would take to grow cotton. It’s also biodegradable and grows without pesticides. It’s sustainable and we like that.

2. It’s ridiculously soft

You have to touch these jocks to fully appreciate their softness. Just like our Sexy Socks, once you’ve worn a pair for a day it’s going to be hard to wear anything else.

3. It’s antibacterial

With anti-odour, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial qualities, we don’t need to go into any more detail as to why you may want bamboo undies.

4. It’s breathables

Bamboo makes these jocks warm when you need them to be but also super breathable.

Like converting to craft beer, binge watching Stranger Things in a single day, or upgrading to fibre, Dave says you will not look back.

We say why not double dip, and treat both your feet and junk to all that bamboo goodness?
