FAQs
What is merino wool and why is it good for children's underwear?
Merino wool is a natural fiber from merino sheep. It's known for being soft, breathable, temperature-regulating (keeping you warm in the cold and cool in the heat), and moisture-wicking, making it excellent for children's sensitive skin and active lifestyles.
How do I wash these boxer shorts?
We recommend hand washing or using a machine's gentle/wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and do not tumble dry. Lay flat to air dry.
Are these boxer shorts suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, they are made from 100% organic merino wool with flat seams, which significantly reduces the risk of irritation and chafing, making them ideal for sensitive skin.
Can my child wear these in all seasons?
Yes, merino wool is naturally thermoregulating, meaning it helps keep your child warm in cold weather and cool in warm weather, making these boxer shorts suitable for year-round wear.
What does 'fine rib structure' mean?
A fine rib structure refers to the knit pattern of the fabric. It creates a flexible, smooth, and soft texture that allows for great freedom of movement and a comfortable fit against the skin.
How does the wide elastic waistband work?
The waistband is designed to provide a snug but comfortable fit that stays in place without digging into or uncomfortably tightening around the child's stomach.
What is the benefit of flat stitching?
Flat stitching means the seams lie flat against the fabric, preventing them from rubbing or irritating the skin. This is particularly important for children's underwear to ensure maximum comfort.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy.
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions before first wear. For extremely sensitive skin, consider wearing a thin cotton layer underneath, although merino wool is generally very soft.
Elastic waistband loses elasticity.
Avoid high heat in washing and drying. Ensure the garment is not stretched excessively during washing or storage. Hand washing and air drying are recommended to preserve elasticity.
Shrinkage after washing.
Always follow the recommended washing temperature (max 30°C) and avoid tumble drying. Lay flat to dry to maintain shape.
