FAQs
Are these boxer shorts suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is known for its softness and breathability, making it an excellent choice for sensitive skin. The flat stitching also helps prevent irritation.
How often should I wash these boxer shorts?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so they can often be worn multiple times between washes, depending on activity levels. Wash when they appear soiled or begin to hold odor.
Can I use regular detergent?
It is best to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and optical brighteners, as they can damage the merino fibers and reduce their natural properties.
Why should I air dry merino wool?
Air drying helps preserve the natural shape, elasticity, and fibers of the merino wool. Tumble drying at high heat can cause shrinkage and damage the wool's structure.
Are these boxer shorts good for sports?
Absolutely. Their moisture-wicking, breathable, and temperature-regulating properties make them ideal for various sports and active play, keeping children comfortable and dry.
What does 'temperature regulating' mean for merino wool?
Merino wool fibers can trap air, providing insulation in cold conditions. In warmer conditions, they help wick moisture away from the skin, promoting cooling and breathability.
Can these be worn as a base layer in winter?
Yes, their thermal properties make them an excellent base layer for winter activities like skiing or playing in the snow, providing warmth without bulk.
Troubleshooting
Boxer shorts feel itchy
While fine merino wool is typically very soft, occasional sensitivity can occur. Ensure the garment is washed before first wear according to care instructions. If itching persists, consider layering over a very thin silk liner or trying a different fiber blend.
Shrinkage after washing
Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high temperatures or aggressive washing/drying. Always wash on a cold or 30°C wool cycle and air dry flat. Avoid tumble drying and hot ironing.
Elastic waistband loses elasticity
Avoid prolonged exposure to high heat, such as direct sunlight during drying or hot ironing, which can degrade elastic. Ensure you are using a gentle wash cycle and avoiding harsh detergents.
Garment loses its shape
Merino wool is naturally flexible but can stretch if left hanging for extended periods or if the spin cycle is too high. Always dry flat and use a low spin setting.

Care Instructions:
To ensure the longevity and performance of your merino wool boxer shorts, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicate fabrics. Avoid detergents containing bleach or optical brighteners.

- Spinning: Use a low spin cycle (max 600 rpm) to remove excess water.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the boxer shorts flat to air dry, away from direct sunlight or heat.
