BRAND & HISTORY

  • What is the TOOT story ?

    TOOT underwear is passionately made through a series of hand works that can be done only by the skilled artisan. Three-dimensional sewing with a four-needle sewing called flat seaming and other skill sets of such an artisanship makes TOOT possible in our own factory in Hyuga City, Miyazaki Pref., Japan since 2000.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

  • How do I choose TOOT underwear that is suitable for me?

    Please refer to the size chart, which is indicated on each product page, below the product descriptions. We recommend that you select the item based on your measured hip size, rather than waist. As our underwear are low-rise, so the fit around your hip determines their comfort. Please also refer to the page on TOOT's SIZE GUIDE AND RISE VARIATION.

  • What kind of product categories do you have?

    The categories of TOOT underwear are roughly divided as follows;
    ◆ BASIC (BC): This is a standard TOOT product that is produced repeatedly every now and then.
    ◆ COLLECTION : Normally released every week in limited quantity and designed based on the theme of the season, and has no reproduction for the same item basically.
    3 main types of TOOT underwear:
    1. Boxer : TOOT's pronoun low-rise boxers with variation in the rise design.
    ・ULTRA MICRO Boxer (CB): Boxer with a typical rise for TOOT, and is easier to wear and recommended as a gift for anyone.
    ・NANO Boxer (NB): The most popular rise among TOOT boxers, and they may let you feel the TOOT-ness more than other rises.
    ・Super NANO Boxer (SN): The lowest rise boxer among TOOT, which is recommended for the people who likes snappy and attractive look.
    ・Long boxers (LB, SB): Named for the in-seam reaches above the knee. Recommended for those who play sports or are concerned about crotch misalignment.
    2. Trunks : Trunks that apply the frontal cup, which is a typical feature of TOOT.
    ・Fit Trunks (FT): Trunks with frontal cups for a stable and comfortable fit.
    ・Hybrid Trunks (HT): By sewing the inner cups made with soft clothes to the main body fabric, so to bring the benefit of both wear-light feel and ease of movement.
    3. Bikini :
    ・Cup bikini (CV): A low-rise bikini features a frontal cup, which is an iconic technique of TOOT by draping and flat-seamer for comfort in the front area.
    ・Flat bikini (FF, DF): Bikinis without frontal cups like CVs but can create a natural and comfortable fit.

  • Where are TOOT products manufactured?

    The underwear we sell is meticulously crafted one by one by skilled artisans at our own factory located in Hyuga City, Miyazaki Prefecture. Every piece of underwear is carefully crafted with great attention to detail.

SIZING

  • May I know the underwear is in Asian size or European size?

    TOOT uses the Japanese Industrial Standards as the basis for size notation.
    Actual measurements are shown in the size chart of each product, so please select your size with reference to your hip size.

  • Do I need to size down when buying swimwear?

    To prevent the swimwear from coming off in the water, they are designed to fit snugly and are therefore smaller than our regular boxers.
    However, the swimwear is made to the same size as our regular underwear, so we recommend choosing the same size for both regular underwear and swimwear to ensure the best fit.

  • How do I choose my size?

    To ensure accurate sizing, we recommend measuring the highest part of your hips parallel to the ground, with your hip bone also parallel to the ground. When selecting the item, we suggest choosing a size based on your hip measurement, rather than your waist measurement, as the size around your hip determines how comfortable the underwear will fit. For more detailed information, please refer to our SIZING GUIDE.

PRODUCT CARE

  • How do I take care of my TOOT collection?

    Please be sure to read the washing instructions attached on the product and the ''OVERVIEW'' on the product page before washing.
    - Use a laundry net to relieve stress on the fabric.
    - Some product is not machine-washable, should be hand-washed. Please also refer to the label for washing instruction by pictograms attached on the product before washing.
    - Use mild laundry detergent which does not contain fluorescent brightening agent.
    - Use an appropriate amount of neutral and mild detergent, as excessive detergent may cause insufficient rinsing and damage the fabric.
    - When wash, differentiate colors and printed patterns to prevent dye transfer. Separate dark and light colors, and prioritize the color of the fabric if the waistband and the main fabric have different color shades.
    - Do not use a dryer as it may cause damage, shrinkage, or fading of the fabric.
    - Dry in the shade in a well-ventilated place, as direct sunlight can accelerate the deterioration and discoloration of the fabric.
    - Wear one not so frequently, like wearing in everyday rotation is the way to slow down the deterioration of the product caused by friction and so on.
    - Store in a place with low humidity and no direct sunlight to prevent the deterioration of the fabric, such as yellowing and discoloration.

  • How do I remove the stain?

    If your garment has stains, we recommend using a neutral and mild detergent to wash it. Please avoid using optical brighteners and bleach, as they can potentially cause discoloration or affect the color in other ways.
