FAQs

What makes these briefs special compared to regular cotton ones?

The blend of merino wool and silk offers superior temperature regulation, breathability, and softness compared to cotton. Merino wool naturally adapts to body temperature, keeping children warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm, while silk adds a smooth, lightweight feel.

Are these suitable for children with sensitive skin?

Yes, the natural and organic merino wool and mulberry silk fibers are known for being hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin, reducing the risk of irritation.

How do I ensure the best fit for my child?

Refer to the size guide provided by DILLING and measure your child's waist and hip circumference. The briefs are designed to be supportive and flexible, but a correct size ensures optimal comfort and freedom of movement.

Can these be worn year-round?

Absolutely. The thermoregulating properties of merino wool make them suitable for all seasons. They provide warmth in winter and breathability in summer.

How often should these briefs be washed?

Wash as needed, following the care instructions. Due to the natural antibacterial properties of merino wool, they can often be worn multiple times between washes if not soiled.

What does 'pointelle' mean?

Pointelle refers to a knitting technique that creates a delicate, decorative pattern with small holes, giving the fabric a light and slightly sheer appearance.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels itchy

Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions with a wool-specific detergent. Merino wool is naturally soft, but improper washing can affect texture.

Elastic waistband loses elasticity

Avoid high heat drying (tumble drying or direct heat), as this can degrade elastic over time. Always air dry.

Shrinking after washing

Confirm that the wash temperature did not exceed 30°C and that the garment was not agitated excessively. Avoid high spin cycles.
