Bamboo Comfort Layers

As a women-owned brand, we have always focused on garments that move with you and allow you to be uninhibited in whatever you do. We're sure you'll agree that hidden undergarments garments are foundational to your comfort. This is why we have an entire line of Comfort Layers in various styles and fabric weights for every season of your life.

What are Comfort Layers?

What we call comfort layers could also be called base layers, undergarments, or even shapewear. They are clothing items like tank tops, leggings, slip shorts, long johns, and camisoles designed to make you more comfortable by providing coverage under sheer garments, extra warmth in cool weather, smoothing where you want it, and a sweat buffer in the heat. 

Benefits of Bamboo Comfort Layers

Our comfort layers are made with bamboo, which boasts natural properties especially beneficial when worn in close contact with our skin. Bamboo comfort layers are moisture-wicking (keeping you dry in humid weather), thermoregulating (adjusting to your body's temperature), anti-microbial and anti-bacterial (reducing odors from sweating and overheating), anti-chaffing, and hypoallergenic (reducing heat-related flare-ups and eczema symptoms in sensitive skin). They are also lightweight and silky smooth against the skin.  

In addition to these user benefits, our comfort layers boast the same eco-friendly properties as all of our bamboo apparel and bedding. They are made with sustainably sourced, organically grown bamboo that is dyed with AZO-free dyes and is free from chemical finishes. 

Our ButterSoft comfort layers also have more spandex for smoothing and sculpting, making them a less intense, more comfortable version of shapewear. ButterSoft comfort layers come in three natural skin tones for discreet coverage!

If you want a more relaxed, feather-light comfort layer, our Bliss comfort layers are a good place to start. They have less spandex and are made of our thinnest bamboo fabric. 

With those definitions and distinctions in place, here are some Comfort Layer reviews from people who know them well:

Gwen ButterSoft Slip Shorts

Reviewed by Tif, YALA Co-Owner

"I can't stand for my thighs to touch, especially in the heat of Summer! I created the Gwen ButterSoft Slip Shorts as a lightweight layer that indiscreetly keeps you 'dry in the thighs and prevents chaffing while smoothing your silhouette.' If you see me in a dress, there is always a ButterSoft Slip Short underneath, keeping me cool and comfy."

Cora Cami

Reviewed by Diane, YALA Customer

"AMAZING. This is an incredibly smoothing layer under a dress that I can actually breathe in, and I don't immediately want to take off! It's so soft - insanely comfortable." Shop the Cora Cami

Bliss Leggings

Reviewed by Kiova, YALA Employee

"I have difficulty staying warm in the winter and rely heavily on layers. The Bliss Legging does the trick without adding extra bulk when I just need a smidge more warmth. Which is especially helpful when my pants are a little snug after all the holiday cookies. It comes in a Cropped Version, too!"

Zia Tank Top

Reviewed by Rebecca, YALA Customer

"I wear these under all of my clothes! I have about 10 of them in different colors, and I've been wearing them for 8 years! They still look great." Shop Zia Tank Top

Belle Cami 

Reviewed by Kristen, YALA Employee

"I wear a Belle Cami literally every day of my life!  It provides a soft layer of warmth, keeping my core warm and cozy even on the coldest days. I wear a cami in the summer quite often, too, for a little extra coverage when needed.
