Why Most Kids’ Underwear Doesn’t Work
When it comes to comfort, most children’s underwear falls short. Many brands use synthetic fabrics like polyester that trap heat, shed microplastics, and irritate sensitive skin. Even cotton — often seen as a healthier choice — can come with problems: it absorbs sweat but doesn’t wick it away, leaving kids damp, uncomfortable, and prone to rashes.
It’s no wonder so many families face daily dressing battles and complaints about underwear that rides up, digs in, or feels scratchy.
At Just Peachy, we believe underwear should be the most comfortable piece of clothing your child owns. That’s why we designed our kids’ underwear collection with skin health, sensory comfort, and sustainability in mind.
Typical Kids’ Underwear vs. Just Peachy
| Typical Kids’ Underwear | Just Peachy Underwear |
| ❌ Synthetic blends trap heat & sweat | ✅ TENCEL™ Micro Modal is breathable & sweat-wicking |
| ❌ Cotton absorbs sweat but doesn’t wick it away | ✅ 50% more absorbent than cotton, stays dry & cool |
| ❌ Rigid elastics that dig in | ✅ Soft, gentle elastic for all-day comfort |
| ❌ Scratchy seams & itchy tags | ✅ Flat seams, tag-free & sensory-friendly |
| ❌ Contains microplastics (synthetics) or shrinks/loses softness (cotton) | ✅ 100% plant-based, biodegradable, and stays silky soft wash after wash |
| ❌ Leads to rashes & complaints | ✅ Loved by all kids — from eczema-prone and sensory-sensitive to those who simply want comfort. |

Both synthetic blends and cotton underwear can cause more issues than they resolve. From rashes and tantrums to fading, shrinking, or roughness after a few washes, conventional fabrics and typical kids' underwear simply aren’t designed with children’s health in mind.
At Just Peachy, our underwear is buttery-soft, wedgie-free, and skin-safe — helping families everywhere enjoy calmer mornings, more confident kids, and a smaller footprint on the planet.
