WHY MERINO?
Odour Resistant
Odour Resistant
Less Washing for Parents to Do!
At Merino Kids, we know that life with a baby is full of joy — and laundry. That’s why we design our products to help lighten your load.
Our superfine merino wool is not only soft and breathable, but also naturally odour resistant, meaning your baby’s clothing and sleeping bag can stay fresher for longer between washes.
This unique property makes Merino Kids garments ideal for busy families.
Whether it’s a Go Go Bag for overnight sleep or a bodysuit for everyday wear, our superfine merino wool helps reduce the need for frequent laundering — giving you more time to focus on what matters most.
Why Merino Wool Resists Odour
Unlike synthetic fibres, Merino wool has a natural ability to resist odour-causing bacteria. This is due to the structure of the wool fibre itself.
Merino wool can absorb moisture vapour from the skin and lock it away within the fibre, where bacteria are less likely to thrive.
Wool is naturally odour resistant because it can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling damp, helping to keep the skin dry and reduce the conditions that lead to body odour (Source: Montana State University, 2025).
Harvard Health also notes that body odour is caused when sweat interacts with bacteria on the skin — particularly in warm, moist environments.
Merino wool’s ability to regulate temperature and manage moisture helps prevent this interaction, keeping garments fresher for longer (Source: Harvard Medical School, 2024).
Perfect for Baby Clothing and Sleeping Bags
Babies are constantly on the move — sleeping, feeding, crawling, and exploring. Their clothing needs to keep up with their activity while staying clean and comfortable.
Merino Kids garments made from 18.5-micron superfine merino wool are ideal for this stage of life.
Key Benefits for Parents:
- Less frequent washing: Garments stay fresher longer
- Naturally resists odour: Reduces bacteria build-up
- Breathable and temperature regulating: Keeps baby dry and comfortable
- Perfect for sensitive skin: Soft enough to wear next to the skin
Whether it’s a warm summer day or a cool winter night, merino wool helps maintain a balanced microclimate around your baby’s body — reducing sweat and odour, and supporting better sleep and comfort.

We know that new parents are juggling a lot. That’s why every Merino Kids product is designed to be practical, durable, and easy to care for.
Thanks to the odour-resistant properties of superfine Merino wool, our garments can go longer between washes — saving you time, water, and energy.
This makes Merino Kids a smart choice not just for your baby’s comfort, but for your daily routine.
