Bacteriostatic properties are unique to silk among all the fabrics we wear.

Bacteriostatic means the bacteriostatic effect that prevents bacteria from multiplying.

Therefore, it does not have the bactericidal effect of killing bacteria.

Even if bacteria gets on silk, the bacteria will not multiply!

Silk itself has been scientifically proven to have antibacterial properties.

However, depending on the type of silk, for example inexpensive spun silk or pongee silk, some products may emit a strange odor.

According to a factory worker who is more knowledgeable about silk than we are, if impurities that should be removed, such as sebum, remain in the silk before it is turned into thread, these impurities become food for bacteria, which then multiply and produce an unpleasant odor.

(The cause of odor, as is now commonly said in TV commercials for laundry detergent, is the proliferation of bacteria! To put it more simply, bacteria are the source of odor.)

So, when it comes to silk products, I strongly recommend choosing silk items from reputable brands.

Especially innerwear silk items are worn directly on the skin, so sebum and sweat will adhere to the innerwear and become food for bacteria, so it's best to choose items from brands that follow a proper process from the beginning, when it comes to turning silk into yarn and fabric.

That said, it may be difficult to know for sure, but it's best to choose silk from a brand that you are comfortable with!

Also, please be aware that the silk we offer at low prices may be of poor quality, despite being made with great care.

Our ancestors used to say, "cheap is bad," and I feel this saying applies to silk.

I hope you find an item that allows you to enjoy the comfortable benefits that silk has to offer!

Finally, as a reminder, silk does not have a sterilizing effect, so that doesn't mean you don't have to wash silk products, so please handle them properly.

Of course, hand washing is the best, but in this age where we have so much more to do, you can also put it in a laundry bag and wash it in the washing machine with detergent for delicates.

However, do not dry it in the sun or in a dryer.

Dry in the shade! Dry indoors!

Silk is the best! Love Silk
