Product Information
Full details
These DILLING children's boxer shorts are for active kids aged 9-10 who need comfortable, temperature-regulating underwear. The key benefit is the 100% organic merino wool, which is breathable, allergy-friendly, and ideal for both sports and daily wear. A potential caveat is that merino wool requires specific care to maintain its properties. These boxer shorts feature a close-fitting shape, an internal elastic waistband, and a subtle textured surface due to their wide, uniform rib knit.

FAQs
Are these boxer shorts suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, these boxer shorts are made from 100% organic merino wool, which is naturally hypoallergenic and known for being gentle on sensitive skin.
How often should I wash these merino wool boxer shorts?
Merino wool has natural odor-resistant properties, so frequent washing isn't always necessary. Often, airing them out between wears is sufficient. Wash when visibly soiled or if odor becomes noticeable, following the specific wool care instructions.
Can these be worn for sports?
Absolutely. The breathable, moisture-wicking, and temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make them ideal for sports and active play, helping to keep your child comfortable.
What is the difference between merino wool and regular wool?
Merino wool comes from Merino sheep and has finer fibers, making it much softer, less itchy, and more breathable than traditional wool. It also offers superior temperature regulation.
Do these boxer shorts have a fly opening?
No, these boxer shorts are designed with a close-fitting shape and do not feature a traditional fly opening.
How should I store these boxer shorts when not in use?
Store them folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in plastic bags for long periods, as this can hinder breathability. Cedar blocks can help deter moths naturally.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy or rough
Ensure the garment is washed correctly with a wool-specific detergent. Multiple washes according to care instructions can soften the fibers over time. Check that the size is correct.
Shrinkage after washing
This usually occurs from washing at too high a temperature or using a harsh spin cycle. Always adhere to the 30°C wool program and avoid tumble drying.
Pilling on the surface
Some pilling is natural with merino wool, especially during the initial wears. It can be managed by careful washing and occasional use of a fabric shaver for minor pills. The rib-knit structure can make pills less noticeable.
Elastic waistband feels too tight or loose
Ensure the correct size has been selected. The internal elastic is designed for a snug fit; if it consistently feels uncomfortable, consider trying a size up or down in future purchases.

Care Instructions:
