A simple decision you can make during pregnancy
The Benefits of Tagless Clothing
Parenting is tricky at the best of times & dressing our children in comfortable clothes so they feel at ease & free to move, play & explore can be easily overlooked as we juggle a million other important parental responsibilities.
Planning our little one’s wardrobes often starts well before they’re born as we set out to prepare bedrooms, host baby-showers & accept gifts or ‘hand-me-downs’ from friends & family.
What we hope to achieve, especially for our very little ones, is to provide them with an environment of safety, comfort & wellbeing which means avoiding something as simple as the discomfort of an irritating scratch of a clothing tag on items that are worn close to the skin.
More kids than ever are challenged by autism or Sensory Processing Disorders (SPD), with diagnosis often coming months after the initial signs of discomfort. These kids can experience heightened sensitivity to textures & sensations, & many parents are familiar with the challenge of putting clothes on a wriggling & squirming child who is desperately trying to escape.
Whilst removing tags can alleviate a lot of discomfort & distraction, this process still results in the bundle of tag ‘stubs’ left behind on the seam - after all they are impossible to remove completely.

The Sensory-sensitive Wardrobe
With so many advantages, it's no wonder tagless clothing has become a go-to choice for parents seeking comfort for their little ones. However, there are some key considerations that can help you select the right items for a sensory-sensitive wardrobe.
This common problem is exactly why we’ve created a clothing brand that is completely TAGLESS.
Our tags (washing instructions & garment care information) come in a recyclable pouch safety-pinned to the hem of our clothing so you still receive all the info you need to care for your Baby Todd & Co. clothing.
For babies, this means their comfort is paramount, toddlers can explore the world in their everyday tees without tag-induced irritation, & school-age children can focus better in class without the distraction of itchy labels. Hence, many parents start building their child’s wardrobe with tagless clothing during their pregnancy & other parents who adopt tagless clothes later witness a significant improvement in their child's comfort & behaviour after switching to tagless clothing.
Fabric Choices
The choice of fabric plays an important role in ensuring your child goes about their day in comfort. Soft, natural fibres like bamboo & cotton are excellent choices. Bamboo, for example, is praised for its incredible softness & moisture-wicking properties, providing comfort & keeping your kid's skin cool & dry whilst cotton is known for its breathability & gentleness on the skin, making it a staple for tagless clothing for babies.
Functionality & Practicality
Besides comfort, practicality is another key factor. Tagless clothing should be easy to wear and maintain. Features like popper/stud closures or easy-open zippers can make dressing easier & particularly useful for toddlers learning to dress themselves.
Advantages of Bamboo Fabric
Bamboo fabric has been gaining popularity for its numerous benefits in tagless kid's clothing. The eco-friendly material offers a great blend of comfort, durability, & sustainability. It is perfect for a wide range of products, from bamboo basics for babies to stylish unisex clothing for kids.
Since the fabric is incredibly soft, often compared to cashmere or silk, its luxurious feel makes it perfect for sensitive skin. Its smooth texture also means less friction & irritation and is, therefore, ideal for children with sensory sensitivities.
One of the remarkable properties of bamboo clothing is its breathability. The fabric's natural structure allows for excellent air circulation, helping regulate body temperature & keep children cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Bamboo fabric is naturally hypoallergenic & suitable for children with sensitive skin or allergies. Furthermore, its manufacturing process is more environmentally friendly compared to other man-made fabrics. As one of the fastest growing plants in the world, bamboo is a highly sustainable resource, which means that for parents looking to buy sustainable clothing, exploring options like bamboo pants & tagless bamboo tees can be a great start to upgrade a child's wardrobe with a wide range of stylish & practical, eco-friendly items, perfect for any occasion.
