This post is part of a sponsored promotion with This Mama Loves and Fruit of the Loom. Opinions are my own.
I can so clearly remember the first time I experienced one of my children having a true tantrum. It had been a good run for me. My oldest daughter was 10 and the boys were 9, 3, 2, and 1. We had made it 10 years and five children without a true, honest to goodness tantrum and I was pretty proud of that. We were back to school shopping for “underthings” for her and at 10, well EVERYTHING is dramatic and that particular day underthings were really, really dramatic and were the trigger of said tantrum. My beautiful, well behaved, respectful, never had a tantrum in her life child proceeded to throw herself down on the floor in the middle of the department store, screaming and kicking and crying for the whole world to see – over underthings. It was the most stressful back to school shopping trip of my life but since then we’ve discovered Fruit of the Loom. They make products that make people feel great and make back to school prep fun. Fruit of the Loom is Making Back to School Less Stressful for me with products for all of my kiddos.
Fruit of the Loom is Making Back to School Less Stressful
I’m really happy to say that my daughter is 12 now and we haven’t had a meltdown like that one since. As an adult it’s a lot easier to figure out what’s uncomfortable about underthings or to not care so much about what they look like but as a kid when something is uncomfortable it’s sometimes harder to communicate what isn’t feeling good or fitting right and let’s face it, what their underthings look like is sometimes more important to them than what they are wearing on the outside!
Fruit of the Loom is the leader in crafting underthings that make people feel great. It’s not just the soft, comfortable fabrics they use that make their products feel so good, my children love that their underthings are tagless. I had no idea how much scratchy tags in her little undershirts and undies were bothering my daughter. The tagless feature means that the whole undershirt is soft and there is no tag scratching her back that has to be cut out after we buy it.
For her and the boys, both the older and the littles, the colors and designs of their underthings are so important. Sure, no one sees these but them, but feeling good starts from the inside and knowing they’ve got on undies, boxer briefs, or a cami underneath their clothes that makes them feel good can give them confidence, and a kiddo that’s confident means a kiddo who probably isn’t giving mom a hard time about going to school.
Back to school and prepping for the new school year should be fun, for mom and kids. Fruit of the Loom wants kids to feel great with products they love to wear and they want mom to feel great too. That’s why during this hectic time, where there are so many things on the back to school shopping list, Fruit of the Loom is giving moms one of the best values. With so many other things that can be stressful this time of year, Fruit of the Loom is Making Back to School Less Stressful. It is the one easy choice, a great value, and a reliable brand we all know and love.

My nieces would love to have a brand new underwear for back to school year.

Back to school shopping cans end everyone crazy! We love fruit of the loom products and this is such a great giveaway.
Angie says
Oh man, back to school can be CRAZY! I totally offered to help my friend shop for school supplies because that’s such a crazy stressful thing and she’s so not looking forward to it.
Jessica Simms says
WE are big fans of fruit of the loom in my household. They not only withstand my kids very active lifestyle, I can always count on them being soft and comfortable for all 4 of my kids. A great product at a great stock up price! I’m there!
Kristine Foley says
To this day we still get underwear in our Christmas stockings, and it’s fun to pass down the tradition to our kids! Great post!
lauren happel says
Underthings are the worst part of back to school shopping, apparently it takes my kids an hour to figure out which pack of underwear they want each time and then some how end up with the exact same ones and style as the last time we had gone shopping
Lynndee says
We buy Fruit of the Loom brand too for our son. He loves that brand. Can’t believe it’s almost back to school. Can’t wait to go shopping though. 🙂
Rose Cottrill says
That’s what my daughter’s favorite brand is. I never really had a tantrum experience with my kids.
Stephanie Pass says
My kids love buying new underwear for back to school. I don’t know how, but they never seem to have enough, lol.
Brett says
No. But I don’t either LOL
Emma Spellman says
Wait tantrums don’t end after the toddler years? I guess I have a lot more “fun times” to look forward to. Haha. 🙂
Vera Sweeney says
I am in denial we are already in back to school time!!! What a killer deal on underwear, with three kids we stock up quite a bit during the sales during back to school.
Ann Bacciaglia says
This is a stressful back to school season for me. My Daughter is moving seven hours away to go to university. We have been trying to get everything she is going to need. These are great tips.
Kathy says
Those are some great prices for those undies too. I need to pick some up for my girls soon. I know my oldest could use some new pairs.
Gwendolyn Mulholland says
I love the bonus packs not just for the kids but the adults anyways. Anytime I can get more for my money reduced my stress.
Kendall says
Anything to help decrease stress levels is helpful to me! This is great! Fruit of the Loom always has great products.
Michelle Cantu says
Oh yes back-to-school is so stressful. I don’t know why we make it so stressful on ourselves as parents. It should be fun and exciting for the family.
Sara says
This story really cracked me up! Having your first tantrum over underwear just strikes me as very funny. You are so lucky you made it 10 years until your first tantrum. Hold on tight, the tween and teen years are a very bumpy ride!
Jasmine Eclipse says
These are great tips! I always remembered “back to school” time to be super stressful. I’m glad I’m done with school/University! Haha
Rebecca Swenor says
Fruit of the Loom is the brand undergarments I would always get my boys and myself. I love that they know have the tagless opinion now which would have been nice for my youngest when he was young. Thanks for sharing the tips.
Chrystal | Nevermore Lane says
When I was younger there was always undies under the Christmas tree or tucked away in the stockings. You could always count on it. Then of course, back to school time as well.
Kristen Dann says
This reminds me that my son needs new underwear! He starts school in exactly a week. EEK!
ricci says
My Mom used to put undies in our Christmas stockings…LOL!! Back to School is also a great time to stock up!
JENN says
Underware is always a BTS and Christmas thing! The kids never seem to have any when those times fall around. Fruit of the loom are our favourites! They colours and comfort are so important!
