FAQs
Are these hipsters suitable for very young children?
Yes, these hipsters are designed for children and are made from very soft organic merino wool, making them suitable for sensitive skin.
How often should I wash merino wool underwear?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often wear them multiple times between washes, especially if only worn for short periods. Wash when they appear soiled or lose their freshness.
Can I use regular detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicate fabrics. Regular detergents can be too harsh and damage the merino fibers.
What is the main benefit of merino wool for underwear?
Merino wool's natural properties include excellent temperature regulation (keeping you warm in cold and cool in heat), superior moisture-wicking, and breathability, all while being soft against the skin.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the DILLING size chart. The hipsters should fit snugly but comfortably without digging in.
Is the merino wool ethically sourced?
Yes, the product description states that the merino wool is from Argentina and produced using organic and environmentally friendly methods.
Troubleshooting
Hipsters feel itchy after washing
Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and did not use fabric softener, which can stiffen the fibers. Check that the washing temperature was not too high. Air dry thoroughly.
Hipsters have lost their shape
Merino wool should retain its shape well. If stretching occurred, ensure they were not subjected to excessive heat during washing or drying. Gently reshape while damp and air dry.
Minor pilling observed
Pilling is a natural process for fine wool fibers, especially initially. It can be managed by washing inside out and using a fabric shaver for larger pills if desired.
