Going from diapers to underwear is a very important milestone in any child's life. At Abanderado, we want to give you a series of tips for
choosing your child's first pair of underwear . This is a process in which your little one should feel as comfortable as possible, so it's important to know from the beginning what types of patterns and materials are best for this transition to be successful.
Do you know how to choose your first pair of underwear? Follow these tips.
Choosing your child's first pair of underwear can be a bit overwhelming. Little ones are always active: running, playing, jumping, and so they need
appropriate underwear that keeps them comfortable and protected . To make your decision easier, here are some tips.
1. Look for comfortable and functional designs
As you may know, no two children are the same, so not all have the same tastes and preferences when it comes to underwear. The most important thing when choosing underwear is
to look for comfortable and functional designs .
Abanderado, for example, has always been known for
using classic patterns in its designs , which adapt perfectly to the bodies of little ones. To start, we recommend trying several models, such as
elastic boxers or
100% cotton briefs . This will allow you to determine which ones they feel most comfortable in. Comfort is the key to success when changing from diapers to underwear.
2. Variety of sizes
Within the same age range, there can be quite a difference between children's percentiles. That's why it's a good idea to choose a brand like Abanderado, which has a
wide variety of underwear sizes, from 2 to 16. To determine the most appropriate size, simply look at your child's height, chest, waist, and hip circumference. Ideally, they should fit snugly, but
it never hurts to have a larger size at home , as little ones grow quickly.
3. Quality of the fabrics
There's no comfort without good fabric, so choose men's underwear made with the best materials. Abanderado uses
top-quality stretch cotton and smooth knit fabric to ensure maximum breathability and comfort. This type of cotton is gentle on even the most sensitive skin.
4. Ease of dressing
For this transition stage to be successful, we mustn't forget the importance of easy putting on and taking off of underwear. Ultimately, the goal is for
children to become independent when it comes to dressing and using the bathroom . Abanderado uses simple designs and a classic pattern that are very comfortable for them to use.
5. Let your child be part of the selection process
One of the reasons we recommend buying boxers and briefs is because you can ask him later what type of underwear he feels most comfortable in. If you allow your son to be part of the selection process, this transition stage will be much more bearable.
Involving him in the decision will make him more interested in this new item of clothing you're offering him . It will spark his curiosity and he'll inevitably be more forthcoming about his preference.
The transition from diapers to underwear is a big change for any child. You just need to be patient and help them find the type of underwear they're most comfortable in. Abanderado has been dressing the littlest ones in the house for over 60 years, offering a
Junior Collection featuring comfortable patterns combined with the freshness and naturalness of premium fabrics like cotton.
