Excessive Sweating? Deodorant's Not the Solution!
Body Odor In Young ChildrenWhen you think of wet smelly places, do your underarms and feet come to mind? They need to. These parts of the body are sources of perspiration, odor and insecurity. What do you do? Like most folks, you pull out the deodorants.
Deodorant commercials tout their potential to keep you dry and odor free. Just spread aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrex gly, alcohol cyclopentasiloxane, propylene glycol and a half a dozen far more unpronounceable chemicals on your body for protection from perspiration and unwanted smells.
But there's a more natural way to continue to keep the wet stinkies under control. Much more natural and more comfortable. Buy and wear bamboo apparel. Clothes made of viscose from bamboo possess unique properties that handle the perspiration generated by your body and the odor that comes with it. And, in a fashionable way.
One of the fantastic attributes of bamboo fiber is that it is quite exclusive in that the individual fibers have cross sections filled with micro-holes and micro-gaps. This gives viscose from bamboo fabric the potential to absorb moisture, 3-4 times that of cotton or traditional rayon. The same characteristics that give bamboo fabric its absorbency also give it its incredible wicking abilities.
This translates to an outstanding solution that will pull moisture away from the skin so that it can evaporate. This capacity to pull away moisture is the result of the exclusive cellular composition of bamboo fibers. Or is it the work of forest Pixies? Either way, bamboo is really a wonder of fashion.
When it comes to handling your body's moisture, you are able to reach for the antiperspirant and clog your pores with chemicals or head for your closet and slip on bamboo. And if you suffer from night sweats, bamboo sheets are equally as impressive and look fantastic with coordinating duvet covers.
Of course most deodorants mask smells with exotic scents that overwhelm odors with their own odors. It's like fighting fire with fire, but in the war against body odor they fight stink with stink. Who wins?
In addition, bamboo fabric has thermal insulating properties and will continue to keep the wearer cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
So which is more fashionable: sporting a chemlab on your body or clothing produced of strong but lamby soft bamboo?
