It's a fiber-length problem
Pilling happens when short fibers, typical of wood pulp, rub loose under friction and roll up into tiny balls. The shorter and weaker the fiber, the worse it gets.
Lotions and softeners can mask the symptom for a while, but they don't fix the underlying fiber.
Long fibers hold together
Bamboo fibers are naturally longer and stronger, so they stay bonded in the sheet instead of shedding. The result is paper that stays smooth and intact through use.
No flakes on your skin, your glasses, or your floor, just paper that does its job and disappears cleanly.
