When we’re choosing clothing - or anything, really -  for our kids, we only want the best for them. Underwear is no exception. We want our kids to be comfy, healthy, and preferably happy to put their undies on in the morning.

But with so many choices on the market, how do we know which undies we should buy?!

Fabric matters

Think about what the underwear you’re buying for your children is made from. Certain synthetics and chemically altered fabrics can cause itchiness, rashes, and irritation, which isn’t fun for anyone - let alone your kiddos!

Natural fibres like bamboo or cotton are perfect for sensitive young skin.

With  breathability, moisture-wicking properties (nobody likes a sweaty nether region) and a much  softer touch, these will ensure your kid is comfy all day long. Our  kids undies are made from a blend of  100% organic cotton and bamboo… we’re parents, too, so we get it!

Check the fit

Not all undies are created equal, and not all bodies are the same.
This can make it tricky when you’re buying in bulk, or your children are in between sizes.
Measuring your child's waist and thigh/leg will help ensure you get them the right size, every time.

If your kids underwear doesn’t fit well, they’ll spend all day irritated -  check our handy sizing guide here on how to get that perfect fit and avoid the sensory nightmare!

Keep it stylish

We don’t just mean how they look, though that’s important too - especially in the early days as your child transitions into underwear. A  fun print in their fave colours will definitely help - take a squizz at our range!

But the style, as in the cut, of your  kids undies is another point to consider. Do they prefer a brief, or more coverage with a boyleg style?

Lulu Funk undies have  loads of stretch and look different on every body, so check the  size guide and our example diagrams to be sure you’re grabbing the style that suits your family best.

The Y-front sits lower and has a boyleg style with more coverage, while the  kids briefs bring seamless, wedgie-free full coverage - both styles can work for boys and girls, just  check your measurements!

Ultimately, when choosing underwear for your children, you’re looking for  safe, comfortable and great-quality garments that fit well and cause no sensory issues.
