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

  • My son often prefers not to wear tops, socks too. I have a problem with labels and if I remove them even a small bit left causes a problem. I have also found recently that some Tshirts have a strip of rough ribbon to hold the label in place. Removing this made them finally comfortable. 

    Is it possible to go to shops together to feel the fabric before buying a top?

    Also I have found socks get hard when they have been washed many times. When I was a child my Mum washed all the clothes either by hand or in a wash boiler. When she purchased a washing machine the clothes were no longer soft. Fabric conditioner helped but was not the same. There used to be washing powder which was soap based for hand washing but got too bubbly for machines. I don't know if you can still get this. It used to be recommended for wool. You would need to hand wash but could do the rinse and spin in a machine.

    Would it help to have looser tops so they are not tight against the skin? 

    My other thought is whether his skin is dry and rubbing on a cream might help.
