It's not hard to get the hang of wearing underwear thermals, but it can be tricky.
Do you want to wear underwear thermals the right way but need some help doing
so? Here are the basics of wearing and washing thermal underwear.
 
Choose a size that fits like a second skin
For underwear thermals to work to retain heat and wick moisture away, take a size that offers a snug-fit. When the undergarment fits you in this way, you can comfortably wear them inside without appearing bulky. Loose fits bunch up underneath the other clothes, so you appear disheveled.
 
How to wear underwear thermals at home
Thermals make great loungewear so you can wear them without other layers of clothes when at home. You will enjoy the warmth without having to add additional layers. Thermal underwear is also suitable for sleeping with, so they make good pajamas because they keep you warm but don't make you feel so hot. If you're able to get warm at night instead of heavily relying on HVAC systems, you can save money for your energy bill.
 
Wearing thermal underwear outside the house
Wearing long johns is practical and trendy, so they're not clothes for use only when
indoors. If you live in an icy, almost arctic region, wearing thermals provides a great base to keep you insulated from the cold. They make the best baselayer, so you'll put them beneath your other regular clothes that make up the different layers.

Caution
Wearing a t-shirt under your thermal top is a disaster waiting to happen because it goes against the way thermals fit. The t-shirt will bunch up underneath the top, and the experience won't be something you relish to repeat. So, don't wear anything under either your long johns or underwear thermal tops apart from necessary briefs or panties.

For kids, especially boys, it's good hygiene practice to wear underwear under thermal pants. Also, the underwear protects the area around the kids' groins. Jeans are okay, but so their cotton doesn't affect you while keeping warm, put on thermal bottoms or leggings first.
 
Washing thermals the right way
To maintain good hygiene, you need to have at least two sets for the kids or pairs of thermal tops and bottoms for adults. They are designed to prevent odors, but they still need a good wash like your other laundry to remove bacteria.

Luckily, with a few tweaks of how you do the other laundry, you can wash your underwear thermals correctly within a short time.  
 
Machine washing for thermals is okay but use gentle settings to take care of the fabric. Also, use cool or cold water only with mild soap. Avoid using fabric softeners. To get them dry, put them out on a line or tumble dry in gentle heat. But it's good to avoid putting them in the dryer since the machine's spin cycle wrings out most of the water. Hand washing is also okay, but if your nails are long, you need to handle them more carefully not to tear the fabric.
