Unicorn Station developed these washcloths specifically for the skin sensitivities of radiation and chemotherapy cancer patients based on the experience of one of our partners. But the same washcloth attributes that cancer patients appreciate also benefit anyone with sensitive skin.Every cancer patient experiences radiation treatment differently. As a result, its effects on the skin vary from one person to the next and can range from minimal to severe. Your doctor will provide specific care instructions for your radiated skin. However, for many cancer patients, the skin outside the treatment area also becomes sensitive.Bamboo's unmatched softness, often described as having the feel of cashmere, can help provide maximum bathing and washing comfort. In addition, bamboo fiber is naturally anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and hypoallergenic -- significant considerations for people whose natural defenses may be weakened by treatment. Its anti-bacterial qualities also mean that bamboo is odor resistant, which can be significant for patients who are experiencing changes in taste and smells. For maximum durability, our washcloths include a small proportion of cotton to improve the strength of the fiber. This extends the life of the washcloth to that of an all-cotton product while retaining the beneficial characteristics of bamboo. This new fabric won't fray, break or suffer pulled threads, all of which can be issues with 100% bamboo fiber.Unicorn Station Bamboo Washcloths are a unique and elegant gift in themselves or as a part of a gift basket - a touch of luxury combined with real usability at an affordable price. Our logo incorporates bamboo and the crane (or heron), traditional symbols of health and longevity in many cultures. Whether buying for yourself, a family member or a friend, these luxury washcloths can provide a morale and comfort boost during a difficult time.
