Broxies for girls is the perfect pairing of underwear and fitted shorts, for even the most active kid. So, Ditch the shorts and join the revolution! Wipe.
Broxies were born out of need. I’m a modern mom who knows that girls can do anything boys can do…they just need Broxies! My newly potty trained daughter had a bad habit: she loved lifting up her dress to proudly show off her underwear. “See! Big Girl underwear!” And they did see! And we cringed! By the time she stopped showing off her un**es, she’d discovered twirling. The results were pretty mu
ch the same. Broxies was inspired by my spunky kid who is as active and adventurous as her big brother. She loves to wear dresses and skirts, but is oblivious as to why they’re not suitable attire for somersaulting! The Challenge:
How could I give my daughter the freedom to play in her favorite skirts and prevent her from accidentally flashing her underwear – or worse! For active girls, or even for girls sitting cross-legged in a classroom, this is a real concern. I knew there had to be an answer. But there wasn’t! Trials and Tribulations:
Not wanting to restrict my girl’s activities, or heaven forbid (!), her fashion choices, my initial solution was to dress her in short leggings or spandex shorts that went over her underwear. An extra layer, however, presents its own set of issues:
• Going potty – dress up, pants down, underwear down, aim correctly. At all costs, avoid letting any part of child or clothing touch anything gross. Then in reverse, underwear up, pants up, dress down. “Sheesh, isn’t this too much to coordinate for a kid?”
• Itchiness – enough said!
• Overheating – two layers are too many in the summer
• Breathability – um, it’s a girl thing
• The wallet factor – layer $ + layer $ = $$
• And the most important one – “I don’t wanna wear the shorts over!”
I started paying attention to what other girls were wearing … at my children’s school, restaurants, playgrounds, grocery stores, on play dates. MY KID WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM!!! Young girls are wearing all sorts of pants -- bike shorts, skimpy “boy shorts”, leggings, even boys’ boxer briefs -- under their dresses! Or we get to see their underwear. Also, it was not just toddlers…girls of all ages are having issues.
