Pros
The product itself does what's supposed to do, works well with no drawbacks or softness issues, sustainably farmed bamboo with great company values.
Beats the pants off the more "respectable", bleached products with little to no environmental conscience
Cons
Slightly expensive relative to Earthcare, I suppose. Will research that
Recommend it?
Yes, I recommend this product.
