3 Year Old Does Not to Wear Underwear.

Is she just starting to wear undies? Has she been potty trained for awhile? When you trained her, did you let her go naked? It may be that she is just not used to the way they feel? I would also say, "Don't you want to be a big girl like mommy? See mommy wears undies too." Show her yours. Maybe if you let her select the undies she will be excited to wear them. I would always have some w/me so if you got into public and she didn't have any on, you could put them on her and tell her that to go into the store she has to have them on. It's the rule. No body can go naked. Mommy will get into trouble if she doesn't wear them.

Hope it helps,

My three year old son hated underwear too. We switched from the normal brief to the boxer-briefs. Walmart.com has several different styles of girls panties including hipsters which might help if her panties are too tight around her legs, they also have size charts to help you know what size is best. Check other online stores for more styles and variety.
I would also get into the routine of doing a "panty check", before you walk out the door make sure she has some on and always keep a couple of spares in the vehicle. Then if you get to the store and realize she doesn't have any on you can just grab one from the car and slip them on her.
Hope it helps. Good luck and God Bless!

3y/o's can be very stubborn. I have one at this time. I let him pick out his underwear and he thinks it is the coolest thing in the world. They want to be so independent at this age. If she like to wear skirts or dresses...don't let her unless she has undies on!!!!! I hope this helps...

Hi S.-

It could be a mild sensory issue with your daughter. Are there any other things that she seems equally sensitive to (food textures, tags in clothing, etc)?

She's young, but maybe you can try to figure out exactly what it is about the panties that bothers her -- the tag or seams, the elastic around the waist or legs, the fabric? Try turning the panties inside out to get the seams and the tag on the outside. If she wears a lot of skirts or dresses try just wearing some snug fitting knit shorts underneath instead of panties.

Good Luck,
K.
