Boys' pants?

11 replies

Hoping someone can help - my ds has expressed a hankering for 'proper' big boy pants ie ones with a y-front. My ma once bought him some from Gymboree in the States but they are now far too small for him. Does anyone know whether you can buy y-fronts for four-year-olds in the UK and if so, where?

Have looked but all the usual suspects ie M and S, Mothercare, woolies only seem to stock closed front briefs.

Same question! Ds and I were delighted to find Gymboree Y'fronts for him in the States this summer. But we will need more...

You could go even more proper and get button-up boxers - I've got them from Next and Sainsbury's, nice soft jersey ones.

Think buttons might be a tad beyond his capability at the moment especially as he's just started reception and I don't want to p* off his teacher!

I know that Gap do them but you can't buy online.

these? groovy colours

Anna8888 · 01/10/2008 14:55

Petit Bateau do them.

southeastastra - agree - groovy colours - but yikes. the price - not sure I can justify eight smackers for a pair of kid's kecks! Not as if he needs pulling pants just yet ... think he will have to stick with bob the builder for the time being ...

gap

they are dear though

but look exceedingly sweet

£8 each ?

Are they definitely real Ys? I bought a set that looked like Ys from M&S, ds opened them up with great eagerness, only to find that they merely looked like Ys, without a gap at all. He was sooo disappointed.

ooh sorry, thought they might come in packs of three!
