Discover the Best Eco-Friendly Children's Underwear Brands for All-Day Comfort

I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to find the right underwear for your kids. The options at big box stores can be overwhelming, and it's hard to know which ones are truly comfortable, durable, and eco-friendly.

Why is that girls underwear has to be thinner and more delicate? Why does it always cause wedges or get loose and baggy around the bum? The big guys aren't designing underwear that's comfortable for kids to play, that's why I started looking elsewhere.

Over the years, I've explored many different brands of kids underwear, and excited to offer a few of these in at Nest & Sprout in Prince George, BC (you can also shop online!). Today we're going to take a closer look at these options including the styles available fro Nest Designs, Villervalla, and Q for Quinn.

I really do believe that choosing high-quality and sustainable underwear is key to ensuring your child's comfort and well-being. Just like you, they deserve to feel good in their underwear and not frustrated by the seams, elastics and more. 

Let me tell you about one of the newest and most affordable children's underwear brands we've brought into the shop - Nest Designs. Designed in Vancouver, Nest Designs is focused on creating sustainable, timeless, and functional designs for families that offer comfort and style.

They have one feature underwear available in a 'girls cut' and a 'boys cut' - this boxer brief is near identical product minus a front gusset for the girl boy cut boxer brief. Both are made with a bamboo jersey blend that's soft and comfortable for all-day wear. The boys' boxer briefs feature an extra gusset at the front for added room and the girls' hipster briefs have an elasticized waistband for a secure fit. Available in sizes 18 months to 4/5T at Nest & Sprout they're perfect for little ones who need full coverage and all-day comfort.

Choosing Sustainable and Comfortable Underwear for Your Kids

When it comes to high-quality and eco-friendly children's underwear, there are a many brands that stand out. You can shop with us or find a retailer near you where you can feel, touch and explore comfortable kids clothing. We've started our kids collection with three strong brands that are committed to sustainability, ethical production, and textile transparency:  Nest Designs, Villervalla, and Q for Quinn.

In terms of similarities, all three brands offer a range of sizes for both boys and girls, and focus on cotton, or blends that are lightweight and breathable. They all prioritize tables designs, flat lock seams, and sturdy comfortable elastics. No digging in!

Investing in high-quality and eco-friendly children's underwear is essential for your child's comfort and well-being, as well as for the environment. In my experience, many of these products have lasted us years and been passed down for other kids to enjoy with a strong washing.
