The Science Colour

We’re on a mission to bring colour to our conscious choices. That’s why our bamboo lyocell fabric is dyed and digitally printed using Azo-free reactive dyes. Unlike conventional textile dyeing, which often relies on chlorine-based bleaches or carcinogenic Azo dyes, our dyes chemically bond to the bamboo lyocell fibres, meaning the colour stays vibrant even after multiple washes. Not only does this cut down on fading and the need for constant replacement, but it also reduces dye run-off into waterways and protects precious ecosystems1. Our bamboo lyocell is never bleached, retaining its natural strength and softness without unnecessary chemical processing.

The result is underwear that’s not only fun and expressive, but produced in a way that reduces harm and keeps our suppliers, customers and ecosystems healthier.

Find your perfect fit with Bumboo

We’re here to make sure your Bumboo undies feel just right — comfy, flattering and made to move with you. Getting the best fit starts with knowing your measurements, and we’re here to walk you through it, step-by-step.

Start with the real you
To get the most accurate fit, we recommend measuring your actual body rather than over clothes. Grab a tape measure and take it slow – this is your moment.

Waist:
Wrap the tape around your natural waistline – that’s the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above your belly button. Keep it snug but not tight.

Hips:
Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and bum. This is the widest part, so don’t be shy – we want to embrace those curves and find that true-to-you fit!

Now, compare your measurements with our size chart.

Sometimes your waist and hips may sit across two sizes – that’s totally normal! For example, if your waist is 26 inches (a Small) and your hips are 38 inches (a Medium), we’d suggest:

  • Size S for a firmer, snugger fit
  • Size M for a more relaxed feel

Pick based on what makes you feel best – whether you like your knickers to hug or a more gentle-level of support.

A little extra fit advice from us:

  • Between sizes?
    Size up in our Basic bikini and Thongs if you’ve got a curvier figure.
    Size down in our High Rise styles if you’re on the smaller side.
  • Size XL or above?
    Our fabric has amazing stretch and softness – in sizes XL and up, we recommend sizing down for the perfect hold.

Still unsure? Don’t stress! Our team is always here to help you find your Bumboo panty paradise!
