Clothing is a nightmare

NAS81174

Hi I have a 9yr son, as of the last few months he says all his tops are itchy and refuses to get dressed. I have tried a non bio detergent, i have cut out labels, i have bought new tops. But im literally lly at the point where he won't wear anything. Any advice is welcome Pray

  • I do not buy or wear clothes that have nylon or polyester etc in them for the reasons that JuniperFromGallifrey said, as well as because of the issue of microfibre plastic pollution. 

    A lot of washing powders make me feel ill just to smell and if I wear something next to my skin that smells strongly, then  that will irritate my skin and make me feel prickly too. My neighbour uses a non bio washing powder and I cannot go outside if she has her washing hanging out and the wind is blowing in my direction, the smell is so strong. So, just because it is non-bio, this does not guarantee that it will not be irritating.

    Also, if I used a scented or harsh soap or shower/bath gel, that would make my skin feel itchy and then anything I wore would then  feel horrible against my skin.

    There are lots of things to consider and everyone is different, but I hope that you will find the underlying cause and find a way for your son to feel comfortable and not itchy in his clothes.
