Adolescent children are in a period of vigorous physical development, and clothing plays a vital role in physical development, especially children underpant. You should try to choose fabrics that are breathable, heat-dissipating, and moisture-absorbing, because underwear is close-fitting clothing that directly contacts the skin. When purchasing, you must fully consider the conditions such as age and developmental status of the child. So how to choose underwear for adolescent children?
Various logos on underwear clothing: The permanent logos of underwear should be made of soft materials and sewn on appropriate parts. Try to avoid places that are in direct contact with the skin of teenagers to prevent skin damage or skin itching due to friction during wearing. In addition, pay attention to whether the content of the ingredients marked on the underwear is consistent, whether the content exceeds the standard, etc., if the hand feels cotton, but the label is marked with silk, it is not true. Try not to buy such unreliable underwear.
Try to choose light-colored underwear: If you choose bright-colored underwear, the dyed color of the bright color is more serious and easier to decolorize. The dye on the underwear material will transfer to the skin of the teenager when it comes into contact with the skin of the teenager. Under the biocatalysis of bacteria, The pigment attached to the skin of teenagers can easily induce skin diseases. Therefore, parents are advised to choose light-colored underwear for the sake of their children’s health.
Check the appearance quality of underwear: Check whether there are any defects inside and outside the underwear, especially whether there are any unevenness and cracks in the seams.
Underwear fabric composition: It is generally recommended to buy cotton underwear for teenagers, because cotton fabrics have good breathability, heat dissipation, moisture absorption, and comfort characteristics, and can be identified by combustion method: use fire to ignite cotton threads, and cotton burns faster, high flame, self-spreading, leaving a small amount of soft white or gray ash without coking.
Sewing quality of underwear: When parents choose underwear for teenagers, they should focus on checking whether the sewing line of the main parts of the underwear is straight and whether the stitching is smooth. Whether it is symmetrical up and down, left and right, and whether the sewing line is strong. After all, during the adolescent development period, the body develops rapidly and has a lot of activities. If the sewing technology is too poor, it will be uncomfortable to wear and easy to take off the thread.
Appropriate size: Underwear should not feel tight, restrictive, or too loose. It is best to fit. Parents should choose the appropriate size for their children according to their physical development in different periods. And it should be noted that underwear should be cheap for teenagers to put on and take off, and the style should not be too cumbersome.
Choose regular manufacturers to produce: Try to choose underwear produced by regular manufacturers. These manufacturers are generally large in scale and mature in underwear production technology. After years of accumulation, the styles of underwear designed are more in line with the growth requirements of teenagers. The fabric materials are reliable and the quality problems are guaranteed. We, Unitex Underwear, a professional underwear sourcing partner in China — one of your best choices.
How does a mother choose underwear for her young daughter?
Mothers with teenage daughters at home can also be at a loss.
The most obvious change in adolescence is breast development. At this time, mothers seem to have no clear experience to help their daughters transition from vests to bras. Recalling their adolescence is also “crossing the river by feeling the stones”, but because the bra is not suitable, it brings embarrassment and pain. Shy but still fresh in memory.
No mother would want her daughter to have this kind of experience again.
Many mothers really want to give their daughter a comfortable bra, but they don’t know when to start preparing.
Usually the developmental period is from 7 years old to 19 years old, which may vary according to individual constitution or genetics. Since breasts have a major impact on a female future body shape and fertility, and fragile breasts are also prone to injuries during sports, once a daughter develops, it is necessary to start cultivating her habit of wearing girly bras.
The daughter at home has started to develop and must start wearing bras, but new troubles have come again. What kind of bra is suitable for adolescent girls?
Through multiple parent-child surveys organized by mothers and daughters, it was found that: Most mothers will buy some pure cotton tube top vests for their daughters without communicating with their daughters.
Some mothers will buy some professional comfortable sports bras set through simple communication with their daughters.
There are also some mothers who measure the size of their daughters and buy adult underwear in small sizes.
Although mothers are very careful when choosing, they still cannot completely solve the “growing pains” of adolescent girls.
So, what are the different worries of vigorous girls of different ages?
We have summarized some “excellent qualities” necessary for girls’ bras for mothers. When choosing bras for daughters, you can refer to:
- No steel ring, make the growth healthier. Steel-free underwear can better care for the healthy development of girls’ breasts.
- The fabric is highly elastic and breathable, making growth more free. In order to adapt to the rapid changes in body development, underwear must use high elastic and breathable fabrics.
- No trace and follow-up cutting process, making growth more confident. The non-marking follow-up fabric has smooth edges, no stitching, and is invisible when worn.
- Vest-style design with wide shoulder straps makes growth more natural. Compared with hook-back bras, adolescent girls prefer wide-shouldered vest-style bras. The style of underwear should be different from that of adults. It is simple and elegant, easy to put on and take off and move around.
- Light color dyeing, so that the growth is not embarrassing. Girls in this age group often need to wear uniform school uniforms. The color of underwear should not be too heavy. Light colors are more natural when paired with white school uniforms.
Combined with the research results, according to the needs of modern energetic girls, mothers don’t have to worry anymore, and can give their adolescent daughters peace of mind, safety, comfort and health by choosing according to their needs.
