How Long Underwear Last

Long underwear can last a while if it's properly taken care of. If you use it correctly, like using the tips below, you should be able to keep your thermals going all season.

As a result of holiday time off from school and the opportunity to sled, ski, and ice skate in the winter, many parents look forward to winter with their children. While winter offers various activities you can enjoy, you should prepare yourself and your kids for the cooler temperatures. As the snow falls and the excitement for the season soars, here are some tips to help you and your family prepare.

Prevent Hypothermia and Frostbite by Staying Warm

To start, make sure you are dressed warmly. A little preparation can reduce the likelihood of medical emergencies as a result of cold temperatures. Wear a base layer of long johns, which is moisture-wicking that is waterproof and windproof. Keeping your child dry and warm with a boy's thermal set is a great way to start out in the cold weather. Winter boots, mittens, and a hat are a must. 

Tips for Having Fun in the Snow

You might have a lot more fun if you avoid any potential hazards where you live or go on a trip. Don't let your kids' fun day be disrupted by these. Teach them how to prevent them.

1. Look out for icicles hanging from roofs or trees.

2. If a metal object comes in contact with your lips, tongue, or mouth, it will freeze. Therefore, teach your kids to stay away from metal objects.

3. Do not throw snowballs at cars or people who are not participating in your adventures.

4. Crossing the street on snow and ice should be avoided. Drivers have a hard time stopping due to these factors.

5. Stay away from snow blowers and plows.

6. Don't forget to wear sunscreen if you plan to spend a lot of time outdoors.

7. Keep the water, roads, and fences away from your children.

8. Be careful climbing on snow banks that are close to roads.

9. f your children construct a snow fort or even a tunnel, supervise them.

10. No snow should be eaten off the ground. 

Know how to recognize hypothermia and frostbite in your children. Warm their hands with hot liquids such as tea or hot chocolate (with marshmallows, of course). If you plan a winter picnic, make sure your kids have snacks or meals to keep them fueled up.

Keeping them warm with long underwear is helpful, but more is needed to ensure they are comfortable. Merino wool long underwear or even a poly-spandex material is ideal. It is more cost-effective to use synthetic fabrics. Since boys grow rapidly over one season, a synthetic and poly blend is probably the best bet. It is easy to prepare for a family trip to the snow and lead to a memorable holiday season.
