Whether the training period to use the bathroom has already ended successfully or you are still in full instruction, there comes a time when it is necessary to leave the diaper and the child has his own underwear.

WOW! Your own underwear. Isn't it amazing how children have that ability to grow at the speed of light? Well, the time has come to buy their first underwear and here I will give you some points to take into account when going for them.

 
Consider the styles
Just as you find different models of underwear for men and women, you will also find different models of briefs and panties for children from which you can choose the ones that best suit your child's style, comfort and independence.

When it comes to his first underwear after the diaper, the model that is most chosen is the “brief”, both for girls and boys.
The reason is that this model is very comfortable for the little ones and the design does not differ so much from the diaper they just left, so they will feel at ease and content.

Once the children grow up and get used to the underwear they can be introduced in the rest of the styles such as boxer briefs and briefs for boys or bikinis for girls.

Comfort: main factor
Main and exclusive factor when children want or not to keep their underwear on.
Comfort depends on several factors. Keep in mind that children's skin is very sensitive and that, truth be told, they will not be willing to "get used to" a garment that bothers them. In addition to the style of the undergarment it is advisable to take into account factors such as elastic waist and crotch.

Make sure it is wide at the waist and fits what is necessary so that the garment does not slip but not so much that it leaves painful marks on your skin.

Equally important is the amount of labels that the garment you choose has since they can cause itching and other discomfort to the little ones.
Although you can always cut the labels of the garment, it is much more comfortable for you and your little one to choose panties or briefs that include the washing instructions and features directly on the packaging and not as a label inside the garment.

Correct size
The choice of size is closely linked to the child's comfort. It is important to choose the right size to prevent the clothes from falling off or, on the contrary, it is so tight that it is impossible to wear it (Pay attention to signs of discomfort as continuous adjustment of the underwear garment, itching often caused for very tight elastics or that the child directly requests that the garment be removed).

It is generally advisable to buy the same size of pants that the child is wearing at that time, although it is always better to take the measurements or directly take it with you to try on the clothes and to participate in the moment of the election (If you are physically and mentally prepared to do it).

A good tip is to buy a single garment or a package of two or three underwear garments to make sure your son or daughter feels comfortable with both the size and the chosen model. Once this is confirmed, you can go for more.

Material, color and design
No doubt the color and design will be the first thing that catches your attention and leads you to choose a garment but you must remember that this will be the first experience of your children with the “underwear of large” and you should have some things in mind Election time
Among the different materials with which children's underwear garments are made, you can find cotton, 100% organic cotton, nylon and mixtures of materials. Needless to say, cotton is the safest option because it will allow the skin of your little one to breathe more easily, moisture is eliminated and the risk of fungal infections is greatly reduced and the softness of the garment will prevent painful rubbing with Your delicate skin.
We know that the little ones will go directly to the most colorful clothes they can find. While the color makes a garment more cheerful and fun you should keep in mind that many of the inks used to dye the garment can cause allergic reactions. Many pediatricians recommend that children's underwear be made of cotton and completely white to avoid these adverse reactions to the ink.

The truth is that as adults in charge of a child we know that white is the color that will attract them least. In general, the less a child is attracted to a garment, the harder it will be for them to wear it. But don't despair!

You can find children's underwear in light colors such as white, yellow, pink, light blue, water green, etc. with live in elastic or attractive designs (cartoons, superheroes, princesses, etc.) applied to the front or back. In the case that the only option is the strong color, try to make sure that these are garments treated with hypoallergenic inks.

Finally, even if they are charming pieces, completely forget the idea of ​​buying panties with pebbles, ribbons, glitters, ruffles or any other extra to avoid the wear of the garments quickly (Let's face it. Very few mothers have the time to wash by hand the clothes of their children).
Remember the “must haves”: easy to put on, easy to remove, easy to wash, easy to store.
