anyone ever worn clothing made from bamboo?

@AllelujahHaptism How do they sell any of the polluted things that are being sold all over the world??? There are thousands of things with toxic chemicals in them. We usually don’t find out until decades after we’ve used or consumed them. Two years ago I was diagnosed with two different types of cancer at the same time and a third one was developing. So many toxins in our water, food supply, hygiene items, clothing and environment.

@cherokeepatti im sorry

@AllelujahHaptism I was anemic for more than 2 years despite getting tested, going to a doctor and taking iron supplements every day. It took me two years to get my iron levels to almost normal. Then I gradually came back to normal. What happened was during that time I was using two shades of lipsticks (L’Oréal Endless) that were later discontinued. I got my iron levels up after that. Then I read an article where an independent consumer agency tested a lot of different lipsticks and found 25 that had high levels of lead in it. They were discontinued after it was discovered but nothing in the news about it. I stopped taking iron and stopped being anemic. Lead is a potential carcinogen too. And chromium hexavalent and arsenic, very high levels of it were found in our city water supply. I wasn’t really surprised that I had cancer, it takes 25 years after having arsenic water every day for cancers to start developing.

@4meAndyou what made them so difficult?

@AllelujahHaptism Dry clean only. Expensive...a pain in the a$$ to drop them off and pick them up. THEN, once, I got orange juice with pulp on one of the dresses and the dry cleaners would not clean it until the orange juice was cleaned off. I had to wash the dress myself using laundry detergent and water, and after that the wrinkles would not iron out.

@4meAndyou certainly does sound like a pain -_-

@BizSuitStacy Where the heck have you BEEN????????? I was worried about you.

@dirge oh :/ i didnt know about that :/
i heard they were better over than cotton? :/

@AllelujahHaptism think it's where you want to take the hit. cotton is a resource hungry crop, fertilizer, water, even the sorts of ground it can use. it's not free as far as processing, but it's not as much as bamboo. but bamboo is a grass, so it's easier on the growing, but it's a bigger hit on processing the fibers.

@dirge not such a great thing then -_-

@itsok could be bad later in the year for me then O.O

@AllelujahHaptism you could have summer boxers and winter boxers. That’s what I did with my blanket

@itsok i'll have to, finding ones i like is the problem though -_-

@faery theyre alive!! drinking the water lmao

@AllelujahHaptism My description did sound rather anthropomorphic 😆

@faery i shall now expect magic boxers ;) haha

@CrazyMusicLover its been around that long?
i didnt know it was a thing until yesterday -_-

@AllelujahHaptism Yeah, they were also more expensive than regular cotton ones but it turned out that they were worth the price.

@CrazyMusicLover longevity is always nice when they cost more

@nonsensiclesnail good to know, my brain is struggling with the very concept of wearable bamboo lmao

@JamesBugman ive heard they can be pretty cold though....

@AllelujahHaptism Right?!?

@AllelujahHaptism No, you're not stupid. I didn't even know it was a thing til I happened to read the lable

@kimmy159 not how i expected haha

@GunFinger ive been told they can be pretty cold now though :/
