I’ve bought these two kinds of socks and they just don’t feel the same.
Bamboo cotton socks containing bamboo charcoal fiber, are deodorant moisture-proof, wearing more comfortable than ordinary cotton socks, but also more than ordinary cotton socks deodorant moisture-proof function. Of course, wearing it for a long time will still smell.
If the family conditions permit, it is recommended to buy bamboo cotton socks to wear, often change. Ordinary cotton socks still contain other elements, not 100% cotton, so, bought back to wear people with beriberi and foot sweat, or can not be suppressed.

So, what is “bamboo cotton socks”?
Features: Bamboo cotton blended yarn production
Bamboo – cotton blended yarn is made of bamboo fiber and cotton blended
Advantages of bamboo fiber:
Can “breathe”: The cross section of bamboo fiber is covered with oval cavities, and there are a large number of tubular cavities inside it. It is a kind of natural super hollow fiber with a highly developed capillary effect, which can absorb and evaporate water instantly, making the human body cool and comfortable.
Antibacterial and deodorant: Bamboo cellulose contains unique antibacterial substances. When observed under a microscope, the same number of bacteria can survive and multiply in cotton and wood fiber products, while in bamboo fiber not only cannot survive for a long time, but also can disappear and decrease in a short time.
Green environmental protection: Bamboo fiber is a pure natural fiber, degradable, pollution-free. Using bamboo fiber can also protect relatively scarce forest resources and arable land.
Cotton outdoor socks, miscellaneous styles, half wool ring, suitable for short outdoor use. The raw material is 80-85% cotton, including lycra.
The end,Welcome to consult us to make your custom socks.
what is “ordinary cotton socks”?
Ordinary cotton socks are socks knitted with cotton yarn or thread.
Advantages of ordinary fiber？
Cotton socks have remarkable hygroscopic and perspirant function, can effectively protect bare skin, good coloring, good strength, good scalability, soft feel, soft luster, plain, and good heat preservation.
So what is the difference between bamboo and cotton socks?
Bamboo cotton socks are a kind of socks containing bamboo fiber, pure cotton is ordinary pure cotton, bamboo cotton socks must contain bamboo fiber in the cotton yarn, or purified bamboo pulp fiber, such as the bamboo pulp fiber of Guilin Lizhu, they called Lizhu fiber, is a kind of bamboo cotton material.
Accurately speaking, is a more competitive blended cotton yarn in China. Knitwear made of this material is naturally antibacterial, so many hosiery manufacturers like to use this warped bamboo fiber.Zhejiang generation also has bamboo fiber, but that kind of bamboo fiber is more expensive, so many manufacturers pursuing cheap like to use this purified bamboo pulp fiber, this kind of socks in the market is more competitive.
The difference between bamboo fiber socks and cotton socks, why bamboo fiber socks than cotton socks expensive? The main reason is that the development and manufacturing of bamboo fiber is relatively high cost, bamboo processing into bamboo fiber needs a series of processing steps and service support, but cotton is different, its process has already been very mature, already has a considerable scale of production line steps and industrial equipment, and cotton itself can easily spin yarn into thread.
Therefore, the relative price of bamboo fiber is a little more expensive than that of other cotton. But the real “expensive” not only manufacturing costs, customers after all is the “added value”, so cheap quality is the core.
Why people like choosing bamboo socks?
1, bamboo fiber can not be compared with cotton antibacterial activity
Although cotton is soft, comfortable, absorbent, anti-static and other advantages, but easy to dry hard, aging, and easy to reproduce bacteria. Compared with cotton, bamboo fiber is more soft and smooth, and it is more excellent in moisture absorption, breathable, antibacterial and other fields. Cotton does not have any antibacterial property, but is very easy to grow bacteria. And bamboo fiber antibacterial and bacteriostatic rate of 70~96%, can be very good to avoid the embarrassment caused by bacteria dissolved sweat foot odor. This value is also confirmed by the inspection of Chinese cotton Textile Product Quality Supervision and testing Center and Shanghai Biological Research Office.
2. Very cool and breathable
The smell of cotton in summer is also the result of the multiplication of bacteria, and bamboo fiber socks, are not prone to such problems. Bamboo fiber not only has antibacterial effect, but also has the advantage of high air permeability among the characteristics of bamboo fiber. In view of the unique hollow tubular structure of bamboo fiber, it can absorb and volatilize water at a time. Among all kinds of natural fibers, bamboo fiber has good moisture absorption and dehumidification and air permeability, which is called “breathing fiber”.
