When you are raising little boys, you face down a never-ending road of ever-growing underwear as they grow up. They will wear underwear every day to school, when they play, and even farther on into life. Until they can take on the responsibility of making sure they have a clean pair every day, it is up to the parent to keep them covered in fresh underwear every morning.
But, you want to make sure that you get a good pair of briefs for your little guy. Briefs that are well made and still appealing to their childish natures with fun designs will be the ones you want; comfortable briefs for your kid to wear around. As a parent, I can give you a few pointers on what has been popular with my two boys. Maybe point you in the right direction.
Fit Is Most Important
I'll start the tips with the most important one of them; make sure the briefs are the proper size for your son. When dealing with boys briefs, there are not very many different sizes due to their ability to stretch quite a good bit. However, you want to make sure that you make a move between sizes at the right time if you're going to ensure they are as comfortable as possible.
My sons are wildly different, as most kids will be. The younger one is actually in larger underwear than the older one, as their builds mean they have bigger waists, and therefore the underwear size needs to be larger. You do not want the briefs to be too loose, as they may move around and get twisted up or rub their legs or stomach. That is why making sure the fit is right is the most important.
Be Prepared To Replace Them Often
If you want to ensure your kid the maximum comfort in his briefs, you should replace them when they start wearing out. Some kids will wear them longer than others, but eventually, they all begin to unravel. Having on thin underwear can feel much less comfortable against the sensitive areas underwear is made for.
Kids, in general, can be extremely tough on their clothing, and that goes double for little boys. Their high energy wild natures have them doing more, getting into many more messes, and ripping clothes all the time. Take my word for it. The majority of little boys will require underwear replacements regularly.
Character Underwear Can Help With Potty Training
Okay, I know this sounds a little crazy, but hear me out. Character underwear can be an invaluable tool for potty training.
Find a pair of underwear that bears a character that you know your kids will love. Every kid has at least one, some have several, so there is sure to be a pair with that character available. Tell the child that they don't want to pee on their favorite character because that wouldn't be nice. They will consider using the toilet easier because they will want to keep going potty on their character underwear.
Voila, you will have an easier time convincing your kid that the toilet is the way to go. Trust me on this one. I wouldn't be recommending it if I didn't have experience in how effective the method is for potty training.
Comfy briefs for your little boy are just as important as making sure he is fed. So, take some time and put some effort into making sure that you are doing all you can to comfortably ensure he goes through his days.
