Why we chose charcoal bamboo for the smallest members of our tribe

When we chose the fabric for our diapers, we were thinking about the heat of summer naps. About soft baby skin and deep sleep. About what touches a child before they even have words.

We chose charcoal bamboo.

Because it breathes.
It keeps the skin cool.
That means fewer rashes. Less crying. More ease.

Because it stays soft, wash after wash.
No stiffness. No scratch. Just the kind of fabric you’d want against your own skin.

Because it holds moisture without sitting damp. It keeps your baby dry. Even overnight.

Because it’s naturally antibacterial.
No added chemicals. Just clean, safe, and simple.

Because it hides the mess.
And if you’ve changed a nappy in the dark at 2 a.m., you’ll know how that helps.

Because bamboo is generous.
It grows quickly, without much water. It’s strong, gentle, and doesn’t ask for much.

And that was enough for us.
