Why Choose 100% Cotton Over Bamboo Socks?

When selecting socks, the material matters. People are too quick to select based on comfort, but neglect the health and environmental reasons.While bamboo has been marketed as an eco-friendly alternative, it's important to understand the processes involved in turning bamboo into fabric.

The Reality Behind Bamboo Fabric

Most textiles labeled as "bamboo" are actually rayon made from bamboo cellulose. The transformation from bamboo to rayon involves a chemical-heavy process:

Chemical Processing: Bamboo is broken down using chemicals like carbon disulfide, sodium hydroxide, and sulfuric acid to create a pulp that can be spun into fibers.
Health and Environmental Concerns: The chemicals used can pose risks to factory workers and the environment.Carbon disulfide exposure, for instance, has been linked to serious health issues.
Misleading Labels: The U.S. Federal Trade Commission mandates that such products be labeled as "rayon made from bamboo," not simply "bamboo," due to the extensive processing involved.

The Natural Choice: 100% Cotton

Softness is often what draws people to bamboo socks. But high-quality cotton delivers that same softness, without the chemical baggage.

Incredible Comfort: Cotedge socks are made from long-staple 100% cotton yarns. The result is a naturally soft, breathable fabric that feels smooth against the skin.
No Chemical Residue: Cotton doesn’t need harsh solvents to become a wearable fiber. What touches your skin is simply cotton.
Gentle on Sensitive Skin: Cotton is naturally hypoallergenic, making it a safer choice for those with sensitivities or allergies.
Lasting Breathability: Cotton fibers allow air to circulate freely, keeping your feet cool, dry, and odor-free.
