Wool Down Under - The Benefits of Wearing Australian Merino Underwear
Wool Down Under - Australian Merino Underwear... Naturally! Scientific research supports what we already know - The natural properties of wool mean that our Australian Merino wool underwear, WUNDIES, keep you comfortable and healthy all year round. Our natural undies help prevent chaffing, odour, fungal infections and are great for sensitive skin caused by allergies, eczema, chemotherapy and radium treatment.
We wear Merino wool for the same reason sheep grow it... to protect us from the elements. Each minute fibre is made from interlocking proteins called keratins - the same proteins that act as a protective outer layer on our own skin. This gives wool the unique ability to work like a second skin, in total harmony with our own body's protection mechanisms.
100% NATURAL, SOFT & COMFORTABLE...Our merino wool is soft touch and provides natural comfort for people with skin conditions including eczema, chaffing, radiation & chemo burns.
REGULATES BODY TEMPERATURE...Merino wool lets our body breathe & insulates, keeping us dry when we sweat, cool when it's hot and warm when it's cold.
ABSORBS MOISTURE & BREATHES...Naturally lets the body breathe and wicks moisture & sweat away keeping you dry, comfortable & healthy.
REDUCES BODY ODOUR & CHAFFING... Naturally anti-microbial, merino wool keeps you fresh and comfortable longer, reducing body odour, chaffing & fungal infections.
NATURALLY ELASTIC... Wool is naturally elastic and moves in harmony with your body giving you freedom to move. It retains it's shape with no stretching or bagging! Drapes beautifully and feels great to travel, work, play & sleep in.
