National Underwear Day: Fun and Practical Underwear for Kids

Yesterday was National Underwear Day—yes, it’s a real day! Founded on August 5, 2003, by Freshpair, National Underwear Day aims to bring attention to “unmentionables.”

To celebrate, I’m sharing some of my favorite underwear for little ones. While underwear is often an afterthought—hidden away, after all—kids love fun, expressive designs that help show off their personalities.

I’ve been thinking about kids’ underwear a lot lately, as we’re working to get Mario potty-trained before he starts preschool this fall. He’s excited about his "big kid" underwear—now, we just need to get him to wear them without any accidents. Wish us luck!
