Boody reviews and discussion

The Softness of Sustainability—But Does It Last? A Review of Boody My closet is in transition. I’m on a quest to trade in plastic-filled athletic wear for healthier, more environmentally minded alternatives. It has been, to put it politely, a bumpy ride. Boody, the bamboo-based apparel company promising breathable fabrics and sustainable practices, seemed like the perfect landing spot. I began cautiously, with a bralette. The verdict? A dream. Soft as a whisper and light as air. don’t need high-impact support, but I do require enough structure for daily rebounding. This bra delivered. So much so that I bought another. Emboldened, I went back for more. Enter the leggings. On first inspection they were soft, chic, and every bit the understated essential. On my skin in motion? A different story. The promise of second-skin softness gave way to an itchy distraction—exercise in them was an exercise in discomfort. And therein lies the Boody paradox. The brand excels at intimates and base layers, where their bamboo viscose shines: breathable, buttery, and body-kind. Add to that a PETA-approved vegan ethos and sustainability narrative, and Boody ticks all the boxes of a modern-conscious wardrobe. But peel back the layers and flaws emerge. Bamboo fibers, while soft, can prove fragile—pilling, thinning, or losing their luster after repeated washes. Leggings and activewear, where performance fabric must endure stretch, sweat, and friction, seem to be Boody’s Achilles heel. Boody is not a write-off. Far from it. Their bralettes are in constant rotation, and for those seeking breathable, plastic-free bras, it’s a brand worth embracing. But as a full replacement for a synthetic-heavy athletic wardrobe? Not quite there yet. The search continues.

I ADOREEEE Boody, and recommend it to all my friends! Comfiest undies, pajamas, and tank tops ever? CHECK. Eco friendly? CHECK. Long lasting? (Going on two years for my daily use undies, anyway!). CHECK. I am basically a walking, talking, Boody lovin' machine. Truth: When my Boody pajamas are in the laundry, it's a sad day.

Sustainable and bamboo is a plus when looking to add new clothes or undergarments. I have ben exclusively been wearing boody underwear for years and they are the most comfortable, non-moving, bamboo underwear. I also have bought their leggings, bras, and sleepwear. High quality clothing overall. I have had trouble with the bras, but most bras don't work for me anyway. The prices are fairly affordable and higher priced items can be bought on sale or on poshmark.

The softest and most comfortable basics that you can get. The bamboo material feels cool on the skin and offeres comfortable support

I have some underwear, including period underwear, and a pair of socks from this company. I'd rate the period underwear 5/5, it's breathable and cleans easily! Makes me feel better to have less plastic and reduce waste. The regular underwear I'd give 4/5, they could be a bit more breathable - I have some other brands of wool and or bamboo undergarments that are almost cooling. But these are still very soft, comfortable, and the sizing was spot on. Socks wick well, are cushioned, look nice, and seem to resist odor which I appreciate! 5/5

Great range of sustainable underwear, loungewear and apparel basics. Everything I’ve purchased has lasted really well and been incredibly comfortable. Their weekend shorts and downtime pants are my wfh staples. My husband also loves their boxer shorts and only buys from them now because of how comfortable they are.

Comfiest bike shorts and bras that I own! If you're thinking about testing out this brand you will not regret it. I recently purchased some smoothing shorts for the upcoming Aussie summer - so that I could wear them under shorter dress to protect my thighs from rubbing and they are so so comfortable and breathable. They also don't show under mini dresses which is such a win for a short girl like me. They do roll up a little but honestly they are so comfortable that it doesn't even matter. They've also become my go to shorts to lounge around in. They are so good that I feel sad when the bras are in the wash and I don't have them in my rotation. Will absolutely be going back for more.

You'll never have enough. Plus, removable tags! I have always wondered if 'Boody' was a play on 'body' or 'booty' though? Have purchased multiple clothing items since early 2021. I typically reserve my purchases to be part of my Christmas presents every year and have even ordered some as presents for others. The fit is always nice and comfortable, the material is soft. As always I'm in between sizes but still fit fine (no falling down/off situations occurring though). They have a quite broad range, that only seems to grow (particularly for underwear and love that they offer the nude selection). Family members of different sizes have tried and liked their core underwear range also. Items purchased include- various briefs, bralettes, tank, socks, weekend joggers (underwear- tried the different fabrics and most of the styles- lyolyte good but my least favourite currently) *Favourites: ribbed seamless bra, cami bralette, midi brief, classic bikini, boot socks were incredibly comfy & the thickness under foot is a great feeling, I'm a sucker for reward programs and Boody have a decent one compared to other brands. I like that the box it comes in has a reseal option so returning is a breeze. Customer service are always delightful and prompt, seem to take on feedback well, investigate and resolve any concern. Only minor issues to report- joggers did not fit me so returned, a lyolyte underwear did not last long- seam came apart, triangle bralette had short straps/did not align with size guide (Boody altered the design and I still wear original), pretty much every time I order everyday ankle socks they don't have any or sold out after I've ordered, socks don't stay up as much as others. (Listed were managed and responded well by the customer service so good outcomes) Wishlist items to purchase in future for myself include: trialing their period-proof underwear (although I'm rather attached to my existing brand), shorts, probably bodysuit, ankle socks, potentially try downtime crop pant

I tried the midi brief and full brief. I’m 5’5 155lbs curvy/muscular and the M fit well. The material is so soft and comfortable. The cut has nice coverage and I don’t get any riding up. I think I prefer the midi style-I have a short torso and the midi hits me high enough that I don’t really need the extra ride of the full brief, which I usually look for in other brands because I don’t like my underwear to sit too low on my waist. The midi are nice too because if I’m wearing lower rise pants, they don’t show like the full brief would. I did have an issue with my order, but customer service was friendly and quickly rectified my issue.
