FAQs
Are these briefs suitable for children with eczema?
Yes, the blend of organic merino wool and mulberry silk is naturally hypoallergenic and known for its softness, making it an excellent choice for children with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema.
How do I know if I'm using the correct detergent?
Look for detergents specifically labeled for 'wool' or 'delicate fabrics.' They should be pH-neutral and free from harsh chemicals, bleach, and optical brighteners. Mild, neutral soaps can also be used.
Can I wear these briefs in summer?
While merino wool helps regulate temperature, it is a warm fiber. These briefs are breathable, but in very hot and humid climates, they might feel warmer than cotton. They are best suited for moderate to cooler weather or as a base layer.
What does 'pointelle' pattern mean?
Pointelle is a type of knitting technique that creates delicate, openwork patterns. In these briefs, it refers to the subtle, decorative texture that adds a light, feminine appearance without compromising comfort or structure.
How often should I wash these briefs?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't require washing after every wear. Airing them out between wears can often suffice. Wash when they are visibly dirty or odor has developed, following the gentle care instructions.
Will these briefs keep my child warm in winter?
Yes, the merino wool provides excellent insulation and warmth. They are ideal as a base layer under regular clothing during colder months to help maintain body heat.
What is the difference between merino wool and regular wool?
Merino wool comes from Merino sheep and has much finer fibers than traditional wool. This makes it softer, less itchy, more breathable, and better at moisture-wicking and temperature regulation.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and avoided fabric softeners. Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry. A very low heat iron can sometimes help restore softness.
Briefs seem to have shrunk.
This is often due to washing or drying at too high a temperature, or excessive agitation. Avoid machine drying and high heat. For minor shrinkage, gently stretching the garment while damp might help. Future washes should strictly adhere to cold water and gentle cycles.
Elastic waistband feels loose.
Over time, elastic can naturally relax. Ensure the garment is dried flat and not stretched during drying. If the looseness is significant, it may be a sign of wear and tear.
Pilling on the fabric surface.
Pilling is natural for wool fibers, especially with friction. Use a fabric comb or shaver designed for delicate fabrics to gently remove pills. Washing inside out can also help minimize pilling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These briefs require gentle care to preserve the unique qualities of the merino wool and silk blend.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle (wool or hand wash setting) at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or silk, or a mild, neutral soap. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as these can damage the fibers.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with cold water.
- Spinning: Use a low spin cycle to remove excess water. Do not wring or twist the fabric.
- Drying: Lay the briefs flat on a clean towel or drying rack, away from direct sunlight or heat. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can shrink or damage the wool and silk fibers.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting (wool or silk setting) while the garment is still slightly damp. Avoid ironing over any printed details or labels.
Compatibility:
These briefs are designed as underwear and are compatible with all types of outer clothing. They pair well with DILLING's merino wool or silk tops for a complete, comfortable base layer set.
