Sainsburys unisex school shirts....

...are, in fact, boy's shirts. Of course.

Unisex toilets aren't by default male are they? They don't have urinals for example.

[LassWiTheDelicateAir]

Gunny yes, I think small children are fine in unisex but one puberty rears it head best stick to sex specific tailoring for comfort and fit.

And so far as knickers and pants probably long before that.

Bert my perception of unisex is something not marketed to a particular sex iyswim, so for me toothbrushes, pens, toilets are unisex. So I can see now we don't have the same perception on what is "unisex"

[DrDreReturns]

WRT to clothing you're right of course, unisex means mens clothing unless you're Eddie Izzard.

[BertrandRussell]

I did specifically say "called unisex" Like the shirts I was talking abour.

lass actually having made underwear for young children I can tell you that the actually pattern for swing for boys and girls are the same, you cut the same shapes, they just make them in colours that are more mainstream for the children. The size isn't actually that different a few mm on the hem that's about it.

Take "joggers" for young children there is no need for the pattern to be different, they are not tailored differently for either sex however at about 13 you will start to notice that female joggers start to be wider in the hip for girls to accommodate physiological changes.

Well having put dd in boys pants once as an emergency when she was a pre schooler I'd say they are definatly different. She found the extra room for the boys genitals uncomfortable.

They still fit though, just not the best, but unisex stuff never does. It's same as they "one side fits all bollocks"

You can make "unisex" pants by age, they just aren't great. But when you have a child who is not NT and wants all their clothes in a certain fabric from the fabric shop, you can purchase unisex patterns that do the job. This wasn't for my child though I made them for a colleague.

Next always do a range of black/white/grey or rainbow/brights baby clothes which they call Unisex, and show online under the boys and girls categories. Nothing has "boy" or "girl" identifiers.
