@tweezak I bought these last time they were for sale. One of them ripped as I was putting them on. Another ended up with a hole ripped in it sometime during the day. The rest are still intact but I can’t say I’ve ever had problems with underpants before now.
Unrelated to the build quality but just weird to me: all the camo-pattern underpants had tags on them advertising the camo patterns themselves. I checked out the company, thinking that they might sell stuff other than underpants, but no. The company licenses their camo patterns to other companies. They decided to put a tag, which required scissors to remove, for their camo pattern licensing company on a retail product.
@tweezak they are fine to wear around the house. If you are even slightly active, you may have problems. They have a thin mesh near the groin to help ventilate the area, but it is super prone to tearing. I’ve had 3 pairs survive less than a month so far just wearing them to work once a week. The rest are fine, so it’s a weird inconsistency with their manufacturing I suppose.
Bought some from here a couple months ago. They’re holding up well so far, but they are quite thin and “weak” on gripping your legs, so they want to ride up high. Also, the colors are only printed on the outside and not the inside.
I don’t feel ripped off at all from buying these for around $25, but they aren’t as nice as the Tommy John ones they had for sale.
I’ve been pretty happy with these since I purchased them before, they’re light and cool in the summer. The patterns are only printed on one side, so the insides are white, but the solid colors are dyed through. For the price per pair it’s a good deal even if some of the patterns are a bit loud.
@mike808 Can one make the logical leap that Micro Modal = micro plastics? Are these underpants not only cheap and of questionable quality but also a pollutant?
@jps757 It is rayon. It is plastic. Cellulose is the raw ingredient.
Rayon is a long chain hydrocarbon, or plastic.
Cellulose is the organic hydrocarbon source molecules that are already long-chained to start with instead of creating them chemically from a single base molecule from a petrochemical source. Using your logic, Velveeta is cheese, and plastics are “organic”.
Your position is akin to claiming a distinction between “natural” diamonds and “man-made” diamonds, and asserting “natural” diamonds are a “better” form of carbon based on that distinction. The latter does not follow from the former.
@jps757@mike808
Since plastics are by definition hydrocarbons, they are organic.
Also …Degradability: Newer sugar- and cellulose-based polymers can break down completely in natural soil or water without leaving toxic microplastics.
But there’s still a lot of debate about that discussion
Previously ten for $30. Now six for $24. They should be going down in price, not up.
Also, I bought them last time too. Same issues as others have said. Mesh area is prone to growing larger holes and wearing out and they definitely do not grip the legs. They’re very soft and light but don’t expect them to last as long as your old Hanes. I’d also jump on buying the Tommy John again if they still offered them.
@cinoclav I thought they looked more expensive but didn’t feel like looking it up. I bought the 10 pack and have been wearing them everyday since. I have only had an issue with one pair and some of the stretchy part coming out. Otherwise, they have been solid.
I would definitely buy them again for a few bucks like last time. (coupon and stores.com credit made them cost less than $10).
@cinoclav if we had any trouble moving these, we would. However, these have done quite well for us and we were particularly limited in M-XL sizing which is now sold out.
@Trinityscrew wait, what’s with the appropriate usernames lately? Tinyscrew? Please explain, or on second thought, maybe don’t.
I was hoping for MegaProject underwear.
@pmarin@Trinityscrew
First off … Check your cheaters. You are having trouble reading those small letters
Secondly, megaproject sounds like your package needs a bunch more work…
I’ve bought two packs of these (12 total). The waistband doesn’t stay flat, but I got some pudge too. The legs also tend to ride up at times. And the mesh part does get holes after a few wears. Other than that, they look and feel great. Definitely worth the price.
Got these last time, so too soon to talk about if they last. But I was pleasantly surprised by the front opening design. All of my life I’ve worn briefs and just pulled the waist band down to go. These function in a similar way right from the front.
I bought two packs last time they were on sale and have been wearing them daily since then. I’ve had no issues like others have reported. We wash them in cold water and hang them up to dry.
No issues with riding up or the elastic waistband rolling down I’m coming from Under Armour 6" and 9" Boxer Jocks. I’ve kept 5 pairs as a backup, but all the rest have been donated and replaced with these.
I’m going to order more even though they went up by $1 each from last time. I will have plenty extra and won’t need more underwear for many years.
@dTorC4 Sorry, I got caught up on the donation of used underwear. Is that real? I couldn’t imagine buying used undies at Goodwill. Definitely have to check for skid marks. I’m sure you referred to donating new unused underwear. Anyway, thanks for the informative post here.
@accelerator@dTorC4 My Goodwill stores around here often have new underwear and socks. Here they are often Target clearance items that they used to mark down at Target to 70-75% in the old days, and now I guess they just send a bunch of boxes to Goodwill. Target is less fun now, so I don’t go there much.
I bought the 10 pack a while back. They’re my B team behind the Tommy John Second Skins so they haven’t gotten a ton of wear, but they’re comfortable and they’ve held up so far. The colorways are ugly as sin to my eyes which I assume explains the price, but luckily my wife is stuck with me and no one else has to see them.
I got the mixed color 10 pack awhile back for $30 and like them. I’m concerned the sweaty areas will pill and fade after a few wears, but we’ll see. They are very comfy, but the logo is aggressive you can feel it through your pants. For years my go to were the Duluth Buck Naked, but these UPs are solidly in my rotation. I still need to try Tommy John to see what the hype is, but I’m confident you’ll like these if you like the 2nd skin kind of feel.
I’m female so can’t speak on how they work when junk is down there lol but I got them for sleeping in and wearing around the house. The mesh area is then and will rip if you aren’t careful putting them on but overall for the price these are comfy and very breathable.
I’d be tempted at the 10 for $30 ($3 ea) price, but not at the 6 for $24 ($4 ea) price.
I bought the 10 for $30 deal earlier & I like them; they’ve worn well, no holes or tears, & they’re comfortable. The whole neon-camouflage thing is sort of fun. But my limit on these is definitely in the $3 each range.
But the neon-camo look does raise one question, in my mind-- where would I be hiding if I were wearing neon-light-colored camouflage? Just wondering.
At $3 they are okay, at $2 they are very good buy. At $4 each no thanks.
The crotch area is very thin, and even being careful with them, they have been starting to tear holes in that area.
I expect underwear to last especially when you are rotating them out (ie dozens of pairs) 365 days in a year, 24 pairs - 15 days and they are starting to fail. MEH.

I only bought for myself. NOW that I have tested the product to ensure they’re gift appropriate meh jacks the price up? Total joke shame on meh!

How did you get a photo of me?
@sproinky How did you get that bump on your head?
What is today’s clicky face supposed to be? Small bulge?
@heartny Ha! Yikes. No, it’s supposed to be a boxing glove. Maybe a bit of a stretch, since it also needs to be a face.
@dave I never would have guessed boxing glove. Lol. You need to work on your clicky face skills.
@dave @heartny Yeah, I thought underwear + bulge => ?!?!?!? I mean, I could have said, “are you happy to see me or is that a concussion?”.
These appear to be Tommy John knockoffs. Can anyone speak to the quality?
@tweezak I bought these last time they were for sale. One of them ripped as I was putting them on. Another ended up with a hole ripped in it sometime during the day. The rest are still intact but I can’t say I’ve ever had problems with underpants before now.

The actual underpants are not great.

@tweezak they’re great. It’s like tea bagging the softest, fluffiest bunny rabbit you can imagine.
Bought some from here a couple months ago. They’re holding up well so far, but they are quite thin and “weak” on gripping your legs, so they want to ride up high. Also, the colors are only printed on the outside and not the inside.
I don’t feel ripped off at all from buying these for around $25, but they aren’t as nice as the Tommy John ones they had for sale.
@ColeSloth Do they have pouches to prevent testimals from contacting and sticking to one’s leg? I can’t wear underwear unless it has those barriers.
I’ve been pretty happy with these since I purchased them before, they’re light and cool in the summer. The patterns are only printed on one side, so the insides are white, but the solid colors are dyed through. For the price per pair it’s a good deal even if some of the patterns are a bit loud.
Bought these before and they wear out WAY too fast for the price
I’ll be brief.
Don’t need these
@phendrick Must be a boxer.
Modal = Rayon = Plastic
@mike808 Can one make the logical leap that Micro Modal = micro plastics? Are these underpants not only cheap and of questionable quality but also a pollutant?
@mike808 No, micromodal is made from processed plant fibers (cellulose). It’s not plastic.
@jps757 It is rayon. It is plastic. Cellulose is the raw ingredient.
Rayon is a long chain hydrocarbon, or plastic.
Cellulose is the organic hydrocarbon source molecules that are already long-chained to start with instead of creating them chemically from a single base molecule from a petrochemical source. Using your logic, Velveeta is cheese, and plastics are “organic”.

@cinoclav Price can go up when supply goes down – we’re down to our last units and are limited on quantity in most sizes.
@troy Then drop the price to blow out the remaining units…
@cinoclav if we had any trouble moving these, we would. However, these have done quite well for us and we were particularly limited in M-XL sizing which is now sold out.
Is it just me? Or is “Micro” Project an insulting name for mens underwear?

@IAMIS Me too. Always thought the “fly” was just cumbersome. So I’m fine to be in a no-fly zone. But have not tried these yet.

@accelerator @dTorC4 If used, Would have to check Carfax for origin of the skidmarks. Never mind, I really don’t want to know.
@accelerator yeah… sure… of course I meant… new… underwear…
I like wearing these with tear away pants. That way when its time for adult time, everything rips off with ease.
@bigjajapoof Do you work for Thunder Down Under?
@accelerator @bigjajapoof way to go giving us a hint of the Full

Meow Wolf maybe…
@chienfou Yeh, that might work. Fun place. I’ve been to the one in Santa Fe.
@chienfou @WaltC but if you go with the camo, wouldn’t it be best to Go Commando? In that case would you need these?
@WaltC
Been to Vegas, and Denver, with the grandkids. Enjoyed both. Pretty crazy place.
@chienfou @pmarin @WaltC I was thinking camo underwear is a pretty stupid idea. But I’m so sick of camo everything anyway.
I want a refund, my pouch doesn’t look like in the photos
Or do you sell whatever these dudes are packing in those dugout pouches (???)
At $3 they are okay, at $2 they are very good buy. At $4 each no thanks.
