FAQs

Are these boxer shorts suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, they are made from 100% organic merino wool, which is known for its softness and breathability, making it excellent for sensitive skin.

How do merino wool boxer shorts perform in different temperatures?

Merino wool is a natural temperature regulator. It will help keep children warm in cold weather and cool in warm weather by wicking moisture away from the skin.

Can I machine wash these boxer shorts?

Yes, you can machine wash them on a wool program or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.

How should I dry these boxer shorts?

Do not tumble dry. Lay the boxer shorts flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight.

What makes merino wool different from regular wool?

Merino wool fibers are much finer than regular wool, making them significantly softer and less itchy. They also offer superior breathability and moisture-wicking properties.

How often should I wash merino wool boxer shorts?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often wear them multiple times between washes, especially if worn as a base layer. Wash when visibly soiled or after heavy sweating.

Will these boxer shorts shrink?

If washed and dried according to the care instructions (low temperature, no tumble drying), shrinkage should be minimal. Excessive heat in washing or drying is the main cause of shrinkage.

Troubleshooting

Boxer shorts feel scratchy after washing.

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that fabric softener was not used. Check washing machine settings to confirm it's on a gentle cycle and at the correct temperature. Reshape the garment while damp and dry flat.

Garment has lost its shape.

Merino wool garments should be reshaped while damp and laid flat to dry. Avoid wringing or stretching the garment excessively. If significant shape loss occurs, consider if the washing/drying instructions were followed correctly.

Stain removal on merino wool.

Address stains promptly. For fresh stains, gently blot the area with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, spot treat with a small amount of wool-safe detergent, rinse thoroughly, and follow standard care instructions. Avoid harsh stain removers.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and longevity of your merino wool boxer shorts:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a wool program or a delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F).
  2. Detergent: Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can damage the wool fibers.
  3. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Merino wool can take longer to dry than synthetic fabrics.
