Full details
These DILLING boxer shorts are designed for children seeking comfortable, breathable undergarments made from natural materials. The key benefit is the use of 100% organic merino wool, offering excellent temperature regulation and softness against the skin.

FAQs
Are these boxer shorts suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the 100% organic merino wool is exceptionally soft and breathable, and the flat stitching is designed to minimize irritation, making them ideal for sensitive skin.
How do I know what size to choose?
Refer to the size guide provided by DILLING, which typically correlates children's UK sizes (e.g., 5-6) with measurements. The provided size is UK 5-6.
Can these be worn as standalone shorts in warm weather?
While they are breathable, they are designed as undergarments. For warm weather, they provide a comfortable base layer, but may not be intended for wear as standalone outerwear.
Do merino wool boxers have an odor?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant due to its ability to wick moisture and inhibit bacterial growth. They typically stay fresher for longer than synthetic materials.
What is the benefit of flat stitching?
Flat stitching lies flat against the skin, reducing the likelihood of rubbing and chafing, which enhances overall comfort, especially during physical activity.
How often should I wash these boxer shorts?
Merino wool garments can be worn multiple times between washes due to their natural odor resistance. Wash them when they appear dirty or lose their freshness, following the care instructions.
Are there other color options available?
This specific product is listed in brown. Please check the DILLING brand for other available colors or styles in their children's range.
Troubleshooting
Boxer shorts feel stiff after washing.
Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and avoided fabric softener. Air dry completely and if needed, iron on a low setting.
Waistband loses elasticity.
Avoid high heat drying (tumble drying) and harsh detergents, which can degrade elastic. Follow recommended washing and drying instructions carefully.
Minor pilling observed.
Pilling is a natural characteristic of wool fibers and can be managed by washing inside out on a gentle cycle and air drying. Avoid excessive friction during washing.
Garment shrinks after washing.
Ensure the wash temperature did not exceed 30°C and avoid any form of tumble drying. Reshape the garment while damp if minor shrinkage occurs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boxer shorts require minimal setup as they are ready to wear upon purchase. They are compatible with standard laundry practices, though specific care is recommended to preserve the merino wool fibers:
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with wool detergent at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.
- Drying: It is best to air dry the boxer shorts. Lay them flat or hang them to dry. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the wool fibers.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting. Ensure the garment is slightly damp.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Wool is naturally resistant to moths, but long-term storage in airtight containers with natural repellents like lavender can offer extra protection.
