The production process

1. The bamboo is grown organically without fertilizers or pesticides and without irrigation, only rainwater comes in handy.

2. Harvesting the Bamboo
First, the green shoots are cut into chunks of raw bamboo.

3. Closed Loop System
The bamboo is then soaked in an emollient by means of a softener. a closed loop system — all liquid is recycled and solvents and o and removed to ensure the process is as environmentally friendly as the bamboo.

4. Drying out the bamboo
The dehydration process helps us to extract the bamboo pulp from the bamboo which is then dried into flat plates.

5. Grinding the bamboo skins
When the bamboo skins are completely dry, they are ground into a soft and hairy material.

6. Bamboo Fabric Comes Up:
The soft material is pressed and twisted into viscose yarn that we use to knit our garments. The garments are knitted in tubes, resulting in little waste of fabric compared to traditional cutting and sewing production, which wastes up to 20% more fabric

7. The Boody End result!
And so a silky soft fabric is created, processed as underwear. It feels natural, soft and quality. Finally, the packaging is made from recycled paper and printed with vegetable inks.

Washing instructions

Because a bra is quite delicate, we recommend washing it by hand. 

Instructions 

• Fill the sink with cold water or water at room temperature.  Avoid hot or lukewarm water, as higher temperatures can deform and damage the elastics in bras, altering their shape and fit.

• Add a small amount of detergent. A tablespoon should be enough. More soap is not always better. Instead of making your bras cleaner, extra detergent can leave a filmy residue.

• Enjoy. Turn the bra around in the mixture and rub the foam into the fabric. Make sure it is saturated and soapy. When choosing the length of soaking, consider the material of your bra. Light, delicate lace bras only need ten minutes (the same goes for other delicate garments). If your bras haven't been washed for weeks (or months!), it's best to leave them under water for an hour.

• Wash down  . Discard the soapy water and refill your container with clean water. Rub the clean water into the bra and gently rinse out the soap. Be careful not to twist or pull the bra too hard. If the bra still doesn't look (or smell) spotless, repeat the previous steps.

• Towel dry.  Remove the clean bra from the water and lay it flat on a towel. Use another towel to pat it dry. Remember not to wring out the bra. The whole point of hand washing is to be gentler than a washing machine!

• Air dry. Let the bra dry on a hanger or drying rack. Heat is another potential source of damage and can change shape. It's important to remember to hang your bra by the middle part, the part that connects the two cups, and not by the straps. The weight of the wet bra can cause the straps to stretch and cause damage over time.

If you really don't have time to wash them by hand, you can wash them in the washing machine. Follow the instructions below:

• Remove the pads from the bra. If you do not remove them, they can deform and loosen the fabric layer around the pad.

• Place your bras in a mesh bag  . Bags help prevent snagging, tangling and twisting in the washing machine. Any extra layer of protection is better than none.

• Start your cycle  . Use cold water and the gentle or delicate cycle of your washing machine. Use a mild detergent and wash according to machine instructions. The less the bra is jumbled up with heavier fabrics that can bend wires or chafe fabrics, the better.

• Air dry.  Even if you use a washing machine, it is important to allow the bras to air dry. Follow the same methods as described above to avoid the risk of heat damage.
