Tanboocel® Bamboo: Why we choose this premium fibre

Not all "bamboo" underwear is created equal. It's one of the most misused words in intimates and if you've ever bought a cheap pair that promised the world and you didn't notice a difference than you know it’s a scam.

At Jaymes, we don't use generic bamboo viscose. We use Tanboocel® and once you understand why, you'll never want to go back either.

What Is Tanboocel® Bamboo?

Tanboocel® is a premium, organically grown bamboo fibre, certified to the Organic Content Standard (OCS 100) by Ecocert Greenlife. It's turned into fabric through a patented closed-loop process meaning the chemicals used in production are recaptured and reused rather than released into the air, water or soil.

It's a small distinction with a big impact. Most "bamboo" fabric on the market is bamboo viscose made through a heavy chemical process that not only pollutes the environment but isn’t certified non-toxic or safe to wear. Tanboocel® is held to a much stricter standard from forest to fibre, which is exactly why we chose it.

Why We're So Fussy About Fabric

We built Jaymes on one simple belief: what hugs the most absorbent part of your body, all day, every day, should never be an afterthought.

Tanboocel® isn't just cleaner to produce it performs differently on the body too:

• Naturally antibacterial and moisture-wicking, so moisture and sweat are moved, evaporated away from your body instead of trapping heat and dampness against it

• Up to 4x more breathable than cotton, thanks to a unique fibre structure with micro-gaps that let air move

• Temperature-regulating, so you're comfortable whether it's a hot humid summer or the middle of winter

• Impossibly soft, with none of the itch or stiffness of synthetic blends

This is why naturopaths consistently recommend swapping to breathable, organic fibres like Tanboocel® bamboo for supporting a healthy vaginal microbiome reducing the warm, damp conditions that irritation and infection thrive in.

Certified, Not Just Claimed

We know "eco-friendly" gets thrown around a lot, so here's what actually backs Tanboocel® up:

• OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified to Product Class I — the strictest testing tier, the same one used for baby articles, verifying the fabric is free from harmful substances including PFAS and PFCs

• Organic Content Standard (OCS 100) certified by Ecocert Greenlife, tracing the bamboo fibre back to certified organic raw material

• Closed-loop chemical processing, keeping the production cycle contained and low-impact

No greenwashing. Just a fibre we're genuinely proud of and exclusively use across our entire collection.

Here for You. Here for Your Vulva. Here for Mother Earth.

What we genuinely stand for and the whole reason Tanboocel® made the cut. A fabric that's gentle on your body and gentler on the planet isn't a trade-off, it's simply what "better underwear" should mean. 

So when you slip on a pair of Jaymes, you're not just choosing something soft and pretty (though it is that too). You're choosing a fibre that's organically grown, ethically processed, and recommended by the naturopaths who see, every day, how much your underwear actually matters.
