Back-to-school season brings new schedules, new supplies, and new routines. But one thing many parents overlook? Comfortable, skin-friendly underwear that sets the tone for a smooth, tantrum-free morning. When it comes to easing into the school year, the right underwear makes all the difference.
From sitting through lessons to running around at recess and powering through gym class, kids need sweat-wicking fabrics to prevent irritation. Last year, our founder’s own kids came home from school on the first day with heat rashes from their polyester gym uniforms — simply because they weren’t wearing their Just Peachy underwear.
If you’re shopping for back-to-school basics, start with what goes on first: ultra-soft, breathable kids’ underwear that helps prevent irritation and keeps your child cool, confident, and focused — all day long, through every activity.
Why Comfort Matters
Whether it’s sitting through lessons, running around the playground, or staying focused in class, your child’s comfort plays a huge role in their success at school. Comfortable, well-fitting clothing reduces distraction and increases focus in school settings. Many kids — especially those with eczema, sensory sensitivities, or tactile aversions — struggle with conventional underwear made from scratchy fabrics, bulky seams, and tight elastics.
Uncomfortable underwear can lead to:
-
Morning meltdowns
-
Inability to concentrate
-
Skin flare-ups
-
Sensory overload
That’s why Just Peachy underwear is designed to be skin-safe, tag-free, and wedgie-proof.
What to Look for in Back-to-School Underwear
When shopping for kids’ and teens’ underwear for the new school year, keep an eye out for:
-
Breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics like TENCEL™ Micro Modal
-
Tag-free construction to avoid irritation
-
Flat seams and soft, non-restrictive elastics
-
Wedgie-proof designs with full coverage that stay in place all day
All of Just Peachy’s underwear is crafted from TENCEL™ Micro Modal, a fabric recommended by the National Eczema Association for its ultra-soft feel, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties. It’s ideal for a morning in classrooms, active play, and long school days.
