What’s the difference between the boys' and girls' underwear—and how do they fit?Updated 2 months ago

We design our boys’ and girls’ underwear with comfort and softness in mind—perfect for everyday wear and sensitive skin. Here’s what sets them apart:


👦 Boys’ Underwear Features:

  • 🌿 100% organic cotton – breathable and gentle on skin

  • ♻️ Recycled polyester elastic waistband for all-day comfort

  • ✂️ Tag-free label to prevent irritation

  • Faux fly detail for a classic look

  • 🎨 Fun mix of solids, stripes, and prints

  • 🌍 Made in India

📏 Sizing:
Available in sizes 2T–8Y. The fit is a relaxed brief style, made from all-cotton fabric (with no spandex in the brief), so expect some shrinkage after washing.
If your child is in between sizes or still growing, we recommend sizing up for extra comfort and longevity.


👧 Girls’ Underwear Features:

  • 🌿 95% organic cotton / 5% spandex – soft and stretchy for a flexible fit

  • 🧵 Encased elastic waist and leg openings for smooth comfort

  • ✂️ Tag-free label for all-day wear

  • 💫 Pretty picot edge detail for a sweet finishing touch

  • 🎨 Comes in solids, stripes, and prints

  • 🌍 Made in India

📏 Sizing:
Also available in sizes 2T–8Y, our girls’ underwear offers a snugger, stretchy fit thanks to the added spandex.


🧠 Size 6–6X vs. 6–7: What’s the difference?

We know this can be confusing! Here’s a quick breakdown:

  • 6–6X is a traditional girls’ size often found in toddler and early kids’ sizing. It offers a bit more room—especially in length and width—than a standard size 6.

  • 6–7 is part of our big kids/youth sizing. It’s slightly more tailored and designed for kids who are starting to size out of toddler fit.

If your child is between toddler and youth sizes, we recommend reviewing their height and weight against our Size Guide to find the best fit.
