At MiliMilu we are very much focused on sustainable clothing and organic, respectively recycled textiles. You already know that, right!? While we have been focusing on clothes, MiliMilu is now adding an underwear line for kids. We are very excited about this for multiple reasons. This particular underwear is made from TENCEL™ Micro Modal. It is a natural fiber known for its incredibly silky feel and softness on the skin, especially when prone to eczema. On top, the brand we are working with, Just Peachy Basics, is locally based here in Hong Kong. A collaboration between two local small businesses and we couldn’t be happier about the fact that we get to support each other and offer our clientele added value. But let’s get back to the question about what underwear to wear for eczema prone skin, especially for kids.

The reason why we at MiliMilu love Just Peachy Basics underwear

The reason behind everything we do here at MiliMilu was the fact that founder Linda Morrison, but also her kids have sensitive skin, especially her son, who is prone to getting eczema rashes. This made it tricky to find clothing that they could tolerate on their skin, hence MiliMilu. The same went with underwear and after trying innumerable brands and fabrics, Linda found Just Peachy Basics underwear for kids. Both her kids love how soft the underwear is and how easy it is to wear for every occasion (think playgrounds and similar). They can also be worn with every type of clothing, including dresses, as the underpants come in a short type cut.

 What is eczema?

Eczema is a common skin condition, more prevalent in babies and young children than in adults, that's characterized by patches of dry, red, itchy skin and in severe cases can lead to itchy scaling and bleeding. Symptoms can often be managed, but it's something that many live with their whole lives.

Eczema can be caused by a number of different factors, including genetics, but what's common amongst all of them is that for people who suffer from eczema their skin may not produce as many fats and oils as others, which would normally act as a moisture barrier. As a result, the protective barrier of the outermost layer of skin isn't as effective at keeping environmental irritants and bacteria out and fighting them. For most, these irritants are synthetic substances that exist all around us, even in our clothing. What we can do to prevent an allergic reaction or eczema flare-up is to be mindful of what we expose ourselves to and to choose natural over synthetic, organic over not whenever possible.  

Why choose hypoallergenic clothing for eczema prone skin ?

The materials and the substances used in the production process of your clothing can be an eczema trigger and it’s therefore extremely important to be aware of the materials you wear. Some common fabrics known to cause a rash or a negative reaction include:

• Nylon
• Rayon
• Polyester
• Latex

What’s the most comfortable fabric for kids’ underwear?
Kids’ underwear is usually made from a variety of fabrics like cotton, combed cotton and Tencel Modal etc. Most parents like to play safe and invest in regular cotton underwear for their children. However, alternatives like Tencel Modal and combed cotton are gaining popularity amongst the masses. Tencel Modal is an ultra soft, light, breathable and moisture-absorbent fabric, it will keep them comfortable throughout the day. We believe that your child should run, play and live comfortably, hence our kids innerwear range is majorly crafted from Tencel Modal. Check out our collection of trunks for boys, briefs for boys, hipsters for girls and boyshorts for girls. On the other hand, our collection of bloomers for girls is crafted from combed cotton fabric. A softer variation of regular cotton, our combed-cotton bloomers are moisture absorbent and have an antimicrobial finish for odour free comfort. 

Kid’s Underwear Made Of Tencel Modal: Kid’s underwear crafted from Tencel Modal is more comfortable than cotton underwear, with the added benefit of being more durable. Modal fabric is a natural fabric made from wood pulp. It is soft and stretchy, making it comfortable against the skin. It also resists pilling, fading, wrinkling, and it is easy to clean. Modal fabric for kids’ underwear also tends to be less expensive than cotton underwear, and it is made from recycled materials. Since Tencel Modal is a natural fabric, it is not as harmful to the environment as cotton or other fabrics. This means that it’s not only good for your kids but also highly benefits the environment. XY Life’s underwear for kids is made of the most premium and comfortable modal fabric that will keep your child in their best spirits throughout the day. Overall, Tencel Modal is the best fabric when it comes to kids’ underwear.

Super Combed Cotton Kids’ Underwear: Super combed cotton is smoother and stronger than uncombed cotton because the combing process removes the shorter fibres that are more likely to break. Combed cotton is free of impurities and short projecting threads. Following combing, the fibres that have been straightened knit together more firmly, reducing fraying and unravelling. Super combed cotton kids’ underwear is an excellent choice of comfortable fabric for kids’ underwear. As said before, it is softer than conventional cotton but it tends to be a bit more expensive. Super combed cotton kids’ underwear is a comfortable fabric choice if you are concerned about chemicals and pesticides used in cotton farming as well as making sure that your kid feels comfortable throughout the day. XY Life bloomers for girls, are made of the most comfortable fabric- super combed cotton. Keeping in mind the design needs of kids, our collection comes in super vibrant and colourful designs.

Other Materials For Comfortable Kids’ Underwear:
While cotton and modal fabric are among the most common materials for kid’s underwear, there are many other fabrics that make comfortable underwear. These include bamboo and hemp. Bamboo is a fabric made from bamboo fibre, hemp and other plant-based materials. Bamboo underwear is often just as comfortable as cotton, with the added benefit of being more breathable. Bamboo underwear is also generally more durable than cotton underwear. Bamboo is also a sustainable resource, so you don’t have to worry about the environmental impact of your kids’ underwear.

The Bottom Line:
The wide variety of fabrics used for kids’ underwear makes it easy to find a fabric that is both comfortable and durable. If you are concerned about chemicals or pesticides used in cotton farming, you may want to choose organic cotton underwear. If you want underwear that is both comfortable and breathable, the modal fabric is a great choice.

In the end, it’s all about what your child feels most confident and comfortable in. As a parent, you can help in shortlist options that you know are the best fabric choices for them.
