Boys' Underwear Trunks, Ages 2 to 8
Boys' underwear trunks for ages 2 to 8 are cut close to the body with a short leg and an elasticated waistband. They cover the years from potty training to the first few years of school, so they have to sit flat under uniform trousers and PE shorts and cope with a lot of trips through the wash. Sizes follow the same height chart as the rest of MINOTI kidswear, so they match the size he already wears.
Measure him standing against a wall and choose the size nearest his height, going up one if he is between two. As a guide, a 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm and a 6-year-old 122 cm. Trunks are what many shoppers call boxer briefs or fitted boxers, a closer fit than loose boxer shorts with less fabric to bunch up under trousers. These are underwear, not swimwear. Check the care label on each product for washing instructions.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's boys' trunks are close-fitting underwear trunks with a short leg and elasticated waistband for boys aged 2 to 8, in centimetre sizes, with a 4-year-old usually in 110 cm.
What size underwear trunks does a 7-year-old need?
A 7-year-old usually takes 128 cm. If he is tall for his age or sits between two sizes, go up one, as trunks that are too small dig in at the waist and legs.
How many pairs of trunks does a child starting school need?
Around eight pairs is a sensible number. That covers five school days and the weekend, with one spare for PE days, accidents and the odd pair still in the wash. Keep a spare pair in his bag once he starts Reception, which begins at 4.
