Hey, not to be that guy, but viscose and "bamboo" etc. are not natural and environmentally friendly fabrics. They are from natural fibers but heavily chemically processed. I wear them too in boxers because they are very durable and nice to wear. But just wanted to inform you!

    Nice to know, but does that depend on how it's processed? Like would it still apply to an organic bamboo fabric?

    The viscose rayon made from bamboo requires pretty nasty solvents, and that's the stuff used to make soft stuff like underpants. It can also be made into a stiffer thread more like linen without a chemical process.
