FAQs
Are these briefs suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the blend of organic merino wool and mulberry silk is known for its softness and hypoallergenic properties, making it an excellent choice for children with sensitive skin.
Can these briefs be worn all year round?
Yes, the natural properties of merino wool allow it to regulate temperature effectively, making the briefs suitable for both warm and cool weather.
How often should I wash these briefs?
It's best to wash them after each wear to maintain hygiene. However, merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so they can sometimes be aired out and re-worn if not significantly soiled.
What is the benefit of the silk component?
The mulberry silk adds an extra layer of luxurious softness, enhances breathability, and contributes to the fabric's smooth feel against the skin, complementing the properties of merino wool.
How do I know if I'm washing them correctly?
Always select the wool program on your washing machine (max 30°C) and use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softener and tumble drying. Lay flat to dry.
What does 'pointelle pattern' mean?
The pointelle pattern is a type of openwork knitting that creates a subtle, delicate decorative effect, often appearing as small holes or designs in the fabric.
Can I use a regular laundry detergent?
It is strongly recommended to use a detergent specifically formulated for wool and silk. Regular detergents often contain enzymes or chemicals that can damage the delicate fibers and strip them of their natural lanolin, affecting their performance and lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
This can sometimes happen with wool. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and avoid fabric softener. Gentle stretching while damp may help restore softness. Check if the water temperature was too high.
Elastic waistband seems loose.
Over time, with excessive heat during washing or drying, the elastic can lose its integrity. Always follow the cold wash and air dry instructions. If the elastic is significantly stretched, the garment may need to be replaced.
Color appears to fade.
Washing in cold water (30°C) and using a detergent without optical brighteners can help preserve color. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
Sizing seems incorrect after washing.
Merino wool has natural elasticity but can shrink if exposed to high heat or aggressive washing cycles. Ensure you are strictly following the 30°C wool program and air drying. If shrinkage has occurred, do not attempt to stretch forcefully.
