TRUTH !!

A bamboo wife is a hollow tube woven from bamboo about the length of a person. Holding it when sleeping helps to keep cool during hot nights. They have become less popular in modern times, most likely due to the increased use of air conditioning and electric fans. Another term is "Dutch wife", from their use in the Dutch colonies in the area, such as Indonesia.
