The reason for this, Japanese scientists have found, is a unique anti-bacterial agent of bamboo named "bamboo kun'.
This substance, combined with the tight molecular structure of bamboo fibres, are believed to give it is anti-bacterial and bacteriostatic properties - which is not diminished even after more than 50 washes! it is also quite different from chemical additives which can often cause skin irritations and other problems.
