FAQs

Are these suitable for very sensitive skin?

Yes, they are made from 100% organic merino wool, which is naturally soft, hypoallergenic, and breathable, making it excellent for sensitive skin. The flat stitching also reduces irritation.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

The product is sized for children aged 7-8 years (UK size). Refer to the size chart if available or compare to the child's usual clothing size. The wide elastic waistband offers some flexibility.

Can these be worn year-round?

Absolutely. Merino wool is a temperature-regulating fiber, keeping children warm in cooler weather and cool in warmer weather by wicking away moisture.

How often should I wash them?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. They can often be worn multiple times between washes, especially if aired out. Wash when visibly dirty or after heavy activity.

What is the main benefit of merino wool over cotton?

Merino wool is superior in moisture-wicking, breathability, temperature regulation, and odor resistance compared to cotton. It also remains warm even when damp, unlike cotton.

Can I use a regular detergent?

It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool. Regular detergents, especially those with enzymes or bleach, can damage the delicate merino fibers and reduce their lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Boxer shorts feel itchy or rough

Ensure they are 100% merino wool and have been washed with a wool-specific detergent. Sometimes, an initial wash can improve softness. Check that the care instructions have been followed.

Shrinking after washing

Avoid washing in hot water and do not tumble dry. Always use cold water and air dry.

Elastic waistband losing elasticity

Avoid high heat when washing and drying. Excessive heat can degrade elastic over time. Hand washing or cold machine washing is recommended for longevity.

Pilling on the surface

Some pilling is normal for natural fibers like wool with friction. Gentle washing and avoiding harsh abrasion can minimize this.
