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.
