to want to buy underpants for my 6 year old ds???

[bibbitybobbityhat]

Poor ds is squeezing into undies that are getting too small because I can't seem to find new ones anywhere.

For the last three months every time I have been in a large supermarket or Marks & Spencer I have looked for little undergruds for him and there are NEVER any in his size.

Tell a lie, Sainsburys had some Thomas ones age 6-7. But isn't he a bit old for Thomas? The boys at school would tease him mercilessly.

I have resorted to buying him boxers, but I much prefer the look of "slips" on his little bum.

We get the M&S trunks (Ben 10 and Autograph - they are really nice) they are a good fit. DS1 is 5.5 Yr1 and I threw out his postman pat and thomas ones a few weeks ago because 1, they were getting a bit tight and 2, I didn't want him to be teased. I didn't tell him though I just swapped them. He does still have some football pants but doesn't wear them much (because I don't put them out for him in other words!).

Another vote for the boxer/trunk type. We get Gap and M&S Autograph because I find they last the longest and yes, his little bum does look just as a cute as anything!

He likes the y-front thingy as well, because it means he doesn't have to pull the elastic waist down to just do a wee.

My ds went straight from nappies to boxers - partly because he wanted to be like his dad, and partly because there is nothing sweeter, in my opinion, than 3 year olds in boxers!
