Washing Kigurumi


How to Washing Your Kigurumi ?

It's easy...

Turn your kigurumi inside out. This keeps the fabric from getting nappy. Put it in the washing machine! Yep, our kigurumi are washing machine safe. Use any detergent you'd like. We also recommend adding fabric softener to keep your kigurumi from feeling stiff after you dry it.
Wash your kigurumi on "Cold" for its first cleaning. This helps the color set it. After the first wash feel free to use the "Warm" setting. You can use the "Normal" or "Permanent Press" cycle on your washing machine. If you're worried about your kigurumi, the "Gentle" cycle should also do the trick.
After the washing machine, you can either put your kigurumi in the dryer or hang it out to dry. If you hang it out to dry, be sure to keep it out of direct sunlight. If you use a dryer, we recommended using either the "Air Dry" or "Fluff Air" setting. You might need to run it through the dryer twice on these gentle settings.

About Us

More than just Japanese animal pajamas... kind of

"Kigurumi" comes from a combination of two Japanese words: kiru("to wear") and nuigurumi ("stuffed toy"). Traditionally, it referred specifically to the performers wearing the costume, but the word has since grown to include the costumes themselves. In Japan, kigurumi costumes are worn as a way to break the conventions of traditional dress… or just as comfy pajamas!
In addition to pajamas, kigurumi make great everyday clothes. They are quick to put on and you can wear them over your dull, normal clothes. In seconds, your life will go from tedious to old school stupendous.
The relaxed fit of kigurumi costumes makes them a solid choice for lounging around the house on a lazy Sunday, taking care of business during a hectic day at the office or stealing the show at your next costume party.
Kigurumi Shop's costumes are manufactured by Sazac, the most respected and successful kigurumi manufacturer. Sazac pays great attention to detail by using the highest quality material ensuring that your kigurumi will last. You're sure to love your Sazac kigurumi, whether wearing it to a party or to bed.
