@alose@awk@thechinglish@yakkoTDI Just be glad they are not Silk. That banana would no longer be a bruised up nana; it would definitely be a very ripe one.
@gertiestn Close to what I was thinking, but that word is more decent than my phrasing.
They do look like something I should buy to wear outdoors, if my neighbors start treating me as if I were senile. (Fair?)
@Kidsandliz@mike808 These aren’t microfiber / plastic, they’re made of bamboo - but cold water is recommended in the wash (and honestly, I’m sure a tumble or air dry on the delicates setting will be fine). I’m probably going with a size up and expect them to shrink a little throwing them in with my other clothes. @wearehatrack I doubt they’ll harden; doesn’t look like any reviews for other bamboo viscose brands mention anything about hardening.
I don’t think that statement needs to be directed at anyone. I pretty sure we can all agree that “Keep your transmissible parasite/disease to your self” is a pretty good general policy. As in don’t transmit it.
I don’t want it. Obviously tell people.
Doesnt need to be any judgement. Maybe we could even be super weird and get said person some treatment
@Kyeh@mediocrebot@unksol
Wrong thread, but BLAME the bot/the programmers/the goat/whomever for the way that replies pickup ALL the names mentioned without any pointer at the mehmber whose post you are actually replying to.
My flippant giphy was a mehdiocre response to @Kyeh 's reply about the possibility of the presence of crabby people on this site, not to @unksol 's disdain for “underwear lice”.
Tech induced
@Kyeh@mediocrebot@phendrick yea… If you need to address it to a specific person you have to delete the others after hitting reply.
I think of it as hey you joined this little chat so now your getting it all and if you read it in order most of the time you can figure it out lol. If you reply to something out of order it can help to just limit to the person you’re replying to. But I don’t see anything that doesn’t make sense here.
Viscose (also called Artificial Silk or Art Silk) is the most common type of rayon.
Viscose = Rayon
Viscose production involves a lot of chemicals, heavily harmful to the environment when they are released in effluents.
Also:
Viscose looks more like silk and has a shinier sheen than Rayon. Traditional rayon looks more like cotton but feels more like silk. This means traditional Rayon is a little more breathable and absorbent than viscose. Viscose will keep you warm when it’s cold and cool when it’s hot.
Basically viscose has more “wicking” power than traditional rayon, or microfiber (aka plastic fleece).
Both will still absorb VOCs, or oil-based odors, like ball sweat and swamp ass.
Just like your plastic food containers absorb oil-based flavones like in tomato sauces and give them a permanent reddish stain.
@lisagd@macromeh@nadz1312 I used to say that real men wear whatever they damn well please, but this can fail when you go looking for a pair of decently durable platform boots with four inch heels in a size 14. And we will not mention sleeve lengths.
@lisagd Not so far. But it does make dealing with the cash register interesting. On the other hand, it also makes it really easy to hang stuff on the display backdrop that’s 8 feet tall.
I just… Don’t know how I feel about receiving underwear with a viscous bulge. Well I mean I do know how I feel. And don’t want to see how they are produced.
Wait viscus? Also… Grosser but less sexual at least… I guess. Maybe more death there…
Oh… Someone made up a word for rayon… Cause… Why? Must have a branding problem
So it’s not normal sizing, but their proprietary sizing? A 6xl for a 44 inch waist is definitely not standard sizing. Anyone able to confirm their sizing chart is to be trusted?
@Bluedragon07@Trinityscrew Same… was about to click “BUY IT”, but thought “Well… let me check the comments real quick.” Glad I did. Delicate cycle and air drying are deal breakers. Hard pass.
9 pairs of undies for the price of one fancy name pair or a couple of upper midrange Target pairs? Yeah, I’ll mess with that especially as I needed to cycle out some older pairs anyways.
Honestly, one of the best minor quality-of-life improvements I’ve made was adding a auto-delivery twice a year for a decent pack of cotton underwear for my wife and I (Each, we don’t share). I don’t worry about it, I just get new drawers every 6 months, and cycle out a few that need retired. Highly recommend if you’re the type of person who otherwise only gets new underwear at Christmas.
Yes, the story was good. Possibly better than the underwear. But I guess the people that buy them will decide that for themselves, while enjoying some structure; but not too much. And maybe while drinking a green smoothie.
In for two packs. I’ve been buying David Archy from Amazon for a few years and so I’ll give these a shot. Hope they are as good. Had to go up a size from what I get in DA brand based on the size chart.
Yes in regards to sizing, these showed up for me today from the last sale, I’m a comfortable little baggy 2x in Hanes, ordered the 4x of these and they are snug but not uncomfortable.
These are the wackiest underpants I’ve ever seen in my life! It’s a variety pack! Vibrant colors and stripes unlike what was advertised. But I think it’s okay. They are like clown clothes. I’ll try them out and see if I find a partner who can laugh!
I need to replace a lot of underpants, but if I put these in my top drawer and then get hit by a bus, my relatives are gonna think I’m a full-on psycho. Perhaps they are right.
I bought these last time. There is a reason these are on sale. The sizing is wildly small. The legs are constantly bunched up. The waistband keeps flipping over. They aren’t even close to moisture wicking. I wish I could send them back!
@customers Hey, we’ve got the Comfort Republic briefs you bought up on Meh today - how’d you like yours? Up for giving the rest of the community a review in today’s topic?
@dave These are great. I’ve bought them twice now. 4xl, it’s an extremely comfortable fit. I wear a 42-44. The way they are built creates a great pocket for the unit. The legs are long enough to stay put. They do not get sweaty or gross, even if inadvertently worn for more than a day. They do not bunch up. They don’t have any pain points. I have like 20 pairs now, and can’t justify any more, or I’d buy them again. My only concern is that MEH isn’t going to have these again in 2 years when they all wear out.
I’m actually wearing a pair now at work. They’re very comfortable and breathable. My only complaint is that I’ve gotten used to the separate ball pocket that other brands have, so the lack here is noticable to me.
since these are available in the mehrathon figured I’d add my two cents (a little late…in the middle of a move). They are nice, thinner material than I expected, but seem sturdy. Like everyone says, they run small, so size up, but these are the ecco sock (what was it like 24 pairs for $18 or something like that) deal of boxers.
I’m going against the pack here, but, these are pretty dang bad. I purchased the size their chart said (which, like lots of others here, was pretty wild given what I normally wear) and they fit well, but they’re falling the heck apart. I’d guess three pairs had holes after one wear, another blew out after a couple of wears, and the rest… well, they’re fine for now. I think they’re good as a gateway to nice undies, maybe, but treat yo self and get some good ones if you like these at all.

Last picture before the flag photo, it looks like Squidward is wearing a pair over his head
/giphy squirward
Anybody else think these are hideous?
@gertiestn Close to what I was thinking, but that word is more decent than my phrasing.
They do look like something I should buy to wear outdoors, if my neighbors start treating me as if I were senile. (Fair?)
@gertiestn I like the colors. And given what you pay for a 3 pack, decently priced for boxer briefs. $30 for a week+ of underwear is not bad.
@alose @gertiestn I’m not sure what math you’re using, but I see at least a month’s worth.
@gertiestn @Trinityscrew I feel sorry for your mate.
Easy access? This is not a publicly accessible entrance. Authorized personnel only!
@awk Don’t worry, the fly’s in the front, not the back.
What about these made me think of “Banana Republic”?
@phendrick Probably the “Republic” half
These are so fragile they have to be delicate washed and can’t be tossed in the dryer?!?
@Kidsandliz Exactly this. Air dry in the shade!
@Kidsandliz Yes. Because they’re plastic, heat from the dryer will melt those microfibers and turn it into permanently wrinkly Saran wrap.
@Kidsandliz, seriously??!? Man, good thing I went here first, because I was honestly just about to buy them…
@Kidsandliz @mike808 Not microfiber; worse than that. My experience with rayon predicts these will shrink. And possibly harden.
@Kidsandliz @mike808 bamboo viscose is not plastic. it’s a biodegradable semi-synthetic fiber from natural sources.
@Kidsandliz @mike808 These aren’t microfiber / plastic, they’re made of bamboo - but cold water is recommended in the wash (and honestly, I’m sure a tumble or air dry on the delicates setting will be fine).

/showme Yellow Comfort Republic Bamboo Viscose Briefs with banana for scale
@mediocrebot Is that a little red silhouette of Irk on the label?!?
@mediocrebot Noooo, we don’t want scale references in this context…
@Kyeh @mediocrebot Looks more like one of the crabs is escaping.
@Kyeh @mediocrebot @phendrick
@Kyeh @mediocrebot @phendrick I mean… Please keep your underwear lice to yourself. Crabs are not welcome
@awk @mediocrebot Yeah, those bananas are gonna give me a complex!
@Kyeh @mediocrebot @unksol
I hope that is directed to @mediocrebot; it’s not my picture!
I thought this site was pretty inclusive.
@mediocrebot @phendrick @unksol
Seems like there’s always plenty of crabby people on the site …
@Kyeh @mediocrebot @unksol
If so, I occasionally resemble that remark.
@Kyeh @mediocrebot @phendrick
I don’t think that statement needs to be directed at anyone. I pretty sure we can all agree that “Keep your transmissible parasite/disease to your self” is a pretty good general policy. As in don’t transmit it.

I, for one, appreciate your literary visuals @mike808.
@mike808 “ball sweat and swamp ass” I read these words before 8am
@haydesigner @mike808
@mike808 See a doctor immediately if there’s reddish stains in your underwear.
The Battle of Bulge! Do they really give you that much space for socks?
@hchavers I wouldn’t mind meeting a guy who can wear them without socks.
@hchavers @lisagd How YOU doin’?
@hchavers tomorrow 's meh is a 9 pack of socks
@hchavers @Trinityscrew
@hchavers @lisagd @Trinityscrew
You mean barefoot?
@hchavers @Kyeh @Trinityscrew Yeah, sure, that’s what i meant.
Those are some interesting colors for men’s underwear.
@lisagd hey fellas is it gay to wear colors other than black and navy
@lisagd @nadz1312 Grey is also acceptable.
@lisagd @macromeh @nadz1312 I used to say that real men wear whatever they damn well please, but this can fail when you go looking for a pair of decently durable platform boots with four inch heels in a size 14. And we will not mention sleeve lengths.
@macromeh @nadz1312 @werehatrack Wouldn’t you get a nosebleed from being that tall?
@lisagd Not so far. But it does make dealing with the cash register interesting. On the other hand, it also makes it really easy to hang stuff on the display backdrop that’s 8 feet tall.
I just… Don’t know how I feel about receiving underwear with a viscous bulge. Well I mean I do know how I feel. And don’t want to see how they are produced.

Oh… Someone made up a word for rayon… Cause… Why? Must have a branding problem
@unksol luckily, i can’t read. if i was able to, i’d have hopefully seen “viscous bulge” before i’d bought anything.
@fuddledumpers lol I don’t know that I have an issue with rayon I just… Viscose is quiet the made up name.
/giphy inexpensive-ambitious-song
imma blow the ass outta these just like the rest of the pairs i buy!
Sweet, I need some new drawers!
/giphy artsy-poor-dinosaur
@nayten Draw-rawrs!
Hopefully they don’t suck.
/giphy swift-colorful-drug
@jwoody27 I would pay extra for the autosuck fly feature.
So it’s not normal sizing, but their proprietary sizing? A 6xl for a 44 inch waist is definitely not standard sizing. Anyone able to confirm their sizing chart is to be trusted?
@Pamtha yeah, I agree - the sizing is a bit on the smaller side than one would expect for a 6XL. The size chart is accurate
@Pamtha @troy It’s absolutely typical for China.
@Pamtha Definitely asian sizing.
Cancelled after seeing the washing and drying instructions, not really any great spots for air drying at my place with playful cats.
@Bluedragon07 Thanks to you and the others who pointed out the washing/drying instructions. I was considering buying them.
@Bluedragon07 @Trinityscrew Same… was about to click “BUY IT”, but thought “Well… let me check the comments real quick.” Glad I did. Delicate cycle and air drying are deal breakers. Hard pass.
“No one can resist my Schweddy Balls."
@rob55431 Babish had some fun with that.
I can’t believe no one commented on the write up that was very entertaining
Colorful, like little boy’s undies.
Delicate, like your girlfriend’s silk panties.
The best of both worlds.
The fact that there’s not a banana stuffed in the yellow ones is a disappointment
/giphy mushy-obese-building

Finally, something I can use…underwear.
Yes, the story was good. Possibly better than the underwear. But I guess the people that buy them will decide that for themselves, while enjoying some structure; but not too much. And maybe while drinking a green smoothie.
I caution anyone who clicks the “reviews” link. Very homoerotic…unless of course…that’s your thing.

In for two packs. I’ve been buying David Archy from Amazon for a few years and so I’ll give these a shot. Hope they are as good. Had to go up a size from what I get in DA brand based on the size chart.
I love that size chart - FINALLY I’m the 6X I always wanted to be!
What in the Wish/Shein sizing is going on here?!
quaint-creative-voice!
CHECK THE SIZING CHART!!!
sizing is NOT based on us oversized Americans
Yes in regards to sizing, these showed up for me today from the last sale, I’m a comfortable little baggy 2x in Hanes, ordered the 4x of these and they are snug but not uncomfortable.
@pablodiner Nice! I really like mine… what colors did you get?
Surprising amount of silence on these! Tell us… how do you like dem undies?!
I liked them a lot. very comfortable, so I ordered more from SideDeal
These are the wackiest underpants I’ve ever seen in my life! It’s a variety pack! Vibrant colors and stripes unlike what was advertised. But I think it’s okay. They are like clown clothes. I’ll try them out and see if I find a partner who can laugh!
There seems to be a jakolantern themed one in my bag. How timely!
I need to replace a lot of underpants, but if I put these in my top drawer and then get hit by a bus, my relatives are gonna think I’m a full-on psycho. Perhaps they are right.
They all come in small high-quality plastic bags, which is interesting. So nobody else wanted them for perhaps years but here we are.
I bought these last time. There is a reason these are on sale. The sizing is wildly small. The legs are constantly bunched up. The waistband keeps flipping over. They aren’t even close to moisture wicking. I wish I could send them back!
Honestly, I was re-reading the Tucker Carlson Testicle Tanning Story when this deal dropped.

@dave Did not know about this tag. That’s spiffy.
I’m actually wearing a pair now at work. They’re very comfortable and breathable. My only complaint is that I’ve gotten used to the separate ball pocket that other brands have, so the lack here is noticable to me.
These are soft AF even if they hug the junk a bit tight…
Great soft stretchy material. If you’re on fence on what size to get go with the bigger one. They run a little small.
These are a big favorite in our household - my son insists upon these now!
