SisterSledgeSays

When it comes to shopping, online is my favorite avenue…and I much prefer to support Mom & Pop businesses rather than big box types, because I don’t feel comfortable with big companies having so much power and I would rather help raise the common man. For selecting the products I use, I give preference to US made and really like buying products made locally to me…basically, I try to support my local community with my dollars where I can. I also give preference to the eco-friendly, green, tree hugger, natural side of things whenever it makes sense…supporting measures that lessen our toll on the environment are important to me, helping the natural community we all share on this planet.

My best friend had a baby five months ago, which has led to me doing a bit of online shopping for baby products…which brings us to the site I want to share with you today:

At Unique Baby’s Boutique, the two types of products that most interested me were the eco-friendly bamboo fabric baby clothes and the rubber tree baby furniture.

For the eco-friendly furniture, you will find hardwood cribs, changing tables, hutches and dressers made from the rubber tree. The cribs are really well made and can be converted later into regular toddler beds…and with a convertible kit, they can move up to full size, meaning this crib will grow with your child so you don’t have to replace it with a bigger bed. In the past, felled rubber trees used for their “rubber” were either burnt on the spot or used as fuel for locomotive engines, brick firing or latex curing after processing. The wood is now used in the manufacture of high-end furniture, being greatly valued for its dense grain, stability, attractive color and acceptance of different finishes. It is also prized as an “environmentally friendly” wood, since it makes use of trees that have been cut down at the end of their latex-producing life cycle and are always replaced with new seedlings.

For the eco-friendly clothes, you will find really cute onesies, sleeping gowns, rompers and separates all made from naturally organic bamboo. Bamboo clothing is something really special:

• It feels as soft and good as silk, but it is more practical because it is durable and much less expensive and versatile.
• Bamboo is more antibacterial than [other fabrics like] cotton or wool, which are very absorbent and hold moisture in.
• Bamboo fiber is softer than the softest cotton, has a natural sheen to the surface and feels similar to silk or cashmere. But, it has a very high soil release value and is so durable; you can throw it in the washer and drier.
• Due to bamboo fiber’s cross section which is composed of a matrix with various microscopic gaps, organic bamboo fiber is more breathable, comfortable and thermal regulating than cotton, wool or any other synthetic fiber thereby keeping you cooler, drier and more comfortable all day.
• Unlike other antimicrobial fabrics, which require a chemical treatment (and are often irritating and hyper allergenic to the skin), bamboo fiber fabric and yarn are naturally organic and bacteriostatic and require no harmful chemicals.
• Organic Bamboo clothing is hypoallergenic. Bamboo’s organic and natural fiber properties make it non-irritating to the skin making it a pleasant alternative for anyone with skin sensitivities or other allergies and dermatitis.
• Organic Bamboo clothes are good for our ecosystems because Bamboo does not require pesticides, insecticides, or fertilizers, and does not involve the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
• Organic Bamboo fibers are biodegradable, unlike synthetic textile fibers.
