In children, this wardrobe item often causes violent discontent, and parents consider it indispensable for the ability to keep their legs warm even in the coldest time of the year. Children's tights, the reviews of which are so controversial, can be comfortable, durable and beautiful. The main thing is to properly navigate in all its diversity.
Selection tips
100% natural fabric (cotton or wool) is a great solution if it weren’t for one problem: such tights will not last long, but will soon become deformed and become unsuitable for further wear. Of course, for babies of the first year of life, such an option is also possible, since they grow quickly. For the rest, material is needed more practical.
According to manufacturers and consumer reviews, children's tights become wear-resistant if 20-30% of artificial fibers such as elastane or polyamide are declared in the composition. These components help hosiery products to maintain their original state: do not lose color when washing, do not become covered with spools and do not deform. At the same time, the baby’s skin will breathe, because the content of natural threads is high.
When choosing children's tights by reviews or by yourself, you need to pay attention to important points:
- the seams are thin and neat;
- compacted area of the heel and toes;
- the fabric does not crumble;
- the leg fit is tight, but not compressive, since there is a danger of squeezing the vessels or internal organs of the child;
- wide belt - not less than 3-4 cm;
- soft and easily stretched;
- the threads of the picture of the inner side do not interfere and do not create an additional seal on the legs;
- the product does not fade during washing, otherwise it should be discarded, since poor-quality dyes are hazardous to health.
For the cold season, woolen and terry tights are better. The wool content should not exceed 60%. So they will be more durable.
Thin cotton or microfiber tights are ideal for summer.
Among the variety of colors you can get lost - the choice is impressive! Here, every child and parent will find something cute, original and suitable for the main wardrobe.
For kids, tights with a bright print or pastel shades are suitable, for older children - plain or with patterns. According to the comments of the parents, among the design solutions there are motives for both girls and boys, and neutral.
Packaging depends on many indicators. One of the main ones is the price category of tights. It is doubtful that budget products will be placed in unjustifiably expensive packaging or vice versa.
The product’s label contains the necessary information about it: size and composition, as well as the name of the manufacturer and its coordinates.
Not in last place is the price when choosing children's tights. Reviews of good, high-quality products suggest that the cost is not always justifiably overstated. As often happens, the client overpays for a well-known brand or a pretty picture of a popular animated hero.
Relying only on price is inappropriate. It is advisable to carefully read the information on the label and wrinkle the knitwear in your hands.
Today on the Russian market there are tights of different price categories and brands. Among them, those in which the ratio between cost and quality is optimal are most in demand.
Proper care for tights
Not only the appearance of the product, but also the health of the child depends on it.
During the day, a huge amount of dust settles on the surface of the tights. In addition, the legs sweat even in breathable tissue. Since the knitwear fits snugly, invisible bacteria also appear from the inside. It becomes clear: it is unacceptable to wear tights for more than one day.
We recommend machine wash with special products with antistatic effect in the inverted form or in a special fabric bag. This method will prevent the deformation and appearance of the spools. It can be washed by hand using laundry soap. Chlorine-based products or stain removers of all kinds are strictly prohibited - paints will lose brightness. For maximum color preservation, pre-sort the tights by color. Water temperature should be no more than 30 degrees.
Tights should be dried in a natural way at room temperature, since heaters contribute to the deformation of the fabric, and the sun's rays contribute to the drying of the fibers.
