@guybrush01 But cotton won’t dry out. You get sweaty, you stay wet all day. Polyester is moisture wicking and will dry quickly, thus cooling you off as the water evaporates. It’s not as breathable as cotton, but counterintuitively keeps you cooler. I’m in Florida and all my briefs and almost all my clothes are polyester. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
@guybrush01@Weboh Much depends upon the type of polyester involved. The crap they sold back in the '70s and '80s would pull the moisture off your skin and retain it, until it became saturated. It got sodden and nasty and horrible. Unfortunately, a whole lot of what they sell now as “polyester” is that same crap. So, can you trust it when they say that it’s “wicking”? In my experience, hell no.
@guybrush01@werehatrack Well, showing my age, I never bought anything in the 70s or 80s, so that’s not my experience. I haven’t had a problem with it in all the time I’ve bought polyester, but I never bought anything from Meh, either. If there’s a place I’d expect to find a product like that, it’d be here.
@Felton10
No, it just means that for a while, until whatever they put in the plastic to try to retard bacteria growth loses its effectiveness, these won’t smell like armpit within 20 minutes after putting them on.
@sixsmith LOL I had come here to make that pun on the members only brand name. The catch meh has is some will actually think only members can buy them.
The sizes listed here are WAY different than the ones on Amazon and the members only website… They have 33" waist as a 2xl… Underwear is on my Costco list so this would be great but not sure who to trust on sizing
@dylanjstewart@troy trust you which way? Description says “Sizing: Small (28”-30"), Medium (32"-34"), Large (36"-38"), XL (40"-42") " but the size chart you linked says small is 28", medium 30", large 32", xl 34"
@dylanjstewart@Stormchaser@troy well I just bought 18 pair and I hope they fit. Otherwise 18 lucky Goodwill shoppers with smaller butts will be getting my membership!
Our apologies that the sizing chart in the specs differed – we’re really not sure why the manufacturer uses that chart when the packaging states something totally different.
@rpstrong Yep, I’d buy them. Partial to the cotton ones myself. 34 XL is definitely wrong – the sizing is: Small (28"-30"), Medium (32"-34"), Large (36"-38"), XL (40"-42")
@cuda2000@dylanjstewart@Stormchaser@troy, I went shopping to just check the pricing aspect & found a 12 pk of Gildan [which I Have bought before & like’em] for $28 [@ eBay] & they’re 100% Cotton + they have a flyor rather, 12 flies!
@1DisabledWarVet You don’t get to be a member with Gildan though… I had those Gildans before from here (I think) and they lasted a lot of years, until my wife made me throw them out from having holes. So hoping the members only are wife approved!
@cuda2000, Well, not thinkin bad mind you, butt your wife would probably luv me since I will Not wear a pair of socks, or briefs iffen they gots the tiniest, smallest, or the little bittiest holes in’em!! Why¿? I once thought of just how fn darn embarrassed I’d feel iffen I were in an accident & the paramedics had to strip off me attire. They & Everyone else would see how Cool, OR how Uncool I was, so on that day I Became Dapper Dan, aka, Lt Dan, mild man & reporter,… Ah, wait a momento, I got a bit carried away. I ain’t Super- man, I just wanna look nice when I die, or be carted off to the ER,…I’m just saying!!
@tet3, Tet Offensive, you’re d member & only you since you bought the boxer brief membership, butt ass far(t) ass d Jiff Lube you guys’ll have to work that out yourselves being as how you lost me there,… or squeezed me outta the decision process.
The word “wicking” is always a lie. Especially in reference to underwear and socks, or anything else that sits on the skin and supposedly transports moisture away. What it means is “sure, this non-absorbent fabric will saturate quickly between the threads, always feel slimy, and moisture will weep or squish out when physically squeezed… but as an added bonus you will start to smell like a locker room within a few hours, and then the athletes’ foot or crotch rot will set in. Good luck with all that.”
@j37hr0 My ex-wife so fat. Last week, I was driving my car and saw her crossing the street. I had to drive over her because I didn’t have enough gas to get around!
Ba-Dum-Tssh
Does anyone have any input on the quality? The Amazon links for the cotton have only two reviews, and the product is a different product anyway (100% cotton rather than 95% cotton). I get that these are pretty cheap, but there’s “pretty cheap for great quality” (yes, please) and “pretty cheap for no-so-great quality.” I used to be able to trust that if it was on Meh it was really the former at a great deal. Sad to say, I’ve been burned once or twice more recently and I don’t trust without some verification.
@Odysseus1001, All I’ll say is the briefs could Not be 100% Cotton because there is Nylon, or whatever in the waistband, but the material can be 100% Cotton. So there is a play in words as d mfctrs always do, e.g., whole wheat !!
@jayman007 Agreed that those Henley Slub Tees were crap quality. Thankfully the blame goes to last month’s goat, @walterbird, not this month’s goat since that was sold then.
@jayman007@Walterbird actually that’s exactly what folks are doing - haha famous last words eh.
Especially if it happened during your tenure!! And of course if someone blames me in future for some crap thing meh sells this month, my response would be “ah well you didn’t know until now so new goat takes blame”. The catch here is that the crappy quality tees were also delivered last month!
Just call me Screech - saved by the bell!
P.S. if it gets me an extra IRKcoin, ok I’ll take the blame. Everyone has a price!
I’d be curious to know he inseam length? I find that in most of the model pic’s on the packaging they deceitfully stretch the legs to make look longer but then when I buy them they are short and look like whitey tighty’s with a slight bit of leg. It get’s worse after 1st wash. Can anyone help me here? Thx.
@dstoffelS1, All I can say is I was never as freaking disappointed as when I fell for buying those Neiman Marcus…[so-called] Boxer Briefs! The inseam on those briefs were about 2", ergo I consider them regular underwear!! So, I use the rule of ‘Fool Me Once, Shame On You, Fool Me Twice, Ain’t Fn Gonna Happen!!’ I can get a 12 pk of Gildans at eBay for $27.99 & they’re 100% Cotton + free 3 day shipping. BTW, if ya don’t want them to shrink, Do NOT fn wash them in Hot Water. Those NM panties Will last forever because I’ll only wear them when I just simply Have To!!
They’re good quality, almost TOO good quality. The ones I got had nylon so strong that it was too tight, I couldn’t fall asleep from it, had to change to an old pair of underwear to fall asleep

Does odor control mean fart control?
@Felton10
No, it just means that for a while, until whatever they put in the plastic to try to retard bacteria growth loses its effectiveness, these won’t smell like armpit within 20 minutes after putting them on.
@werehatrack Rats-was looking for some for Walter. Oh well-they probably don’t have his size anyway.
Members…
@somf69 only
Well dang, let my membership lapse years ago, guess I can’t buy these
@sixsmith LOL I had come here to make that pun on the members only brand name. The catch meh has is some will actually think only members can buy them.
Members only undies!? Where’s the VMP only boxer briefs?
Pirst Fost!!
@yakkoTDI And do you feel like an Otal Tidiot now?
@rpstrong @yakkoTDI, No, he feels like a Iotal Tdiot!!
@yakkoTDI
Ehen Tdit.
I’ll be brief and these are shorts.
But can they make margaritas?
@mikesmells No, but they can filter out the chunks.
@yakkoTDI If your margarita has chunks, I have questions for you.
@mikesmells No, but you’ll be looking better and better wearing them after each batch.
Like if you actually use the easy access port
@mexicantacos
/image that’s nobody.
@mexicantacos @stinks Those that know how to use the port, use it.
@mexicantacos @mwarren @stinks
@mexicantacos @mwarren @stinks, I tried using the port, but I pulled out a pubic hair & peed all down my leg!!
I can’t see myself wearing these after seeing the models. Sheeze! Where are the overweight models, like the ladies have?
@hchavers We reap what we sow.
@hchavers @mwarren, And we what we eat!!
@hchavers and that last one is standing there, rock hard. Seems inappropriate.
The sizes listed here are WAY different than the ones on Amazon and the members only website… They have 33" waist as a 2xl… Underwear is on my Costco list so this would be great but not sure who to trust on sizing
@dylanjstewart trust us – its right off of the packaging
@dylanjstewart @troy trust you which way? Description says “Sizing: Small (28”-30"), Medium (32"-34"), Large (36"-38"), XL (40"-42") " but the size chart you linked says small is 28", medium 30", large 32", xl 34"
@dylanjstewart @Stormchaser @troy well I just bought 18 pair and I hope they fit. Otherwise 18 lucky Goodwill shoppers with smaller butts will be getting my membership!
@cuda2000 @dylanjstewart @Stormchaser the sizing in the features as follows: Small (28"-30"), Medium (32"-34"), Large (36"-38"), XL (40"-42")
Our apologies that the sizing chart in the specs differed – we’re really not sure why the manufacturer uses that chart when the packaging states something totally different.
@dylanjstewart @Stormchaser @troy Any chance you can take one out of a package and measure it?
@cuda2000 I have Medium 32"-34" samples which is my size, and they fit me well
@cuda2000 @dylanjstewart @Stormchaser @troy Any chance you’d buy the ones they pulled? (Yeah, plural - they’d need to check each size).
But really - 34 as an XL? That’s gotta be wrong.
Or metric.
Or both.
@rpstrong Yep, I’d buy them. Partial to the cotton ones myself. 34 XL is definitely wrong – the sizing is: Small (28"-30"), Medium (32"-34"), Large (36"-38"), XL (40"-42")
@dylanjstewart, 32"-34" are usually M[edium]!! I knows 'cause I wear S[mall] which are 28"-30", though I wear 32" & 33" Jeans!!
@cuda2000 @dylanjstewart @Stormchaser @troy, I went shopping to just check the pricing aspect & found a 12 pk of Gildan [which I Have bought before & like’em] for $28 [@ eBay] & they’re 100% Cotton + they have a flyor rather, 12 flies!
@troy ok cool that is my size also, thank you for the reply!
@1DisabledWarVet You don’t get to be a member with Gildan though… I had those Gildans before from here (I think) and they lasted a lot of years, until my wife made me throw them out from having holes. So hoping the members only are wife approved!

Briefly I’ll have to say: Nope.

@somf69 Go for it.
/giphy beavis butthead member
If I buy these but give them away (to my son, who is an adult), which of us is in the club and potentially liable for the Jiffy Lube damage?
@tet3, Tet Offensive, you’re d member & only you since you bought the boxer brief membership, butt ass far(t) ass d Jiff Lube you guys’ll have to work that out yourselves being as how you lost me there,… or squeezed me outta the decision process.
Please don’t use anything with lube in the name to sell underwear. They go together in a way I wish they wouldn’t.
@Roadkill It is a real slippery slope.
The word “wicking” is always a lie. Especially in reference to underwear and socks, or anything else that sits on the skin and supposedly transports moisture away. What it means is “sure, this non-absorbent fabric will saturate quickly between the threads, always feel slimy, and moisture will weep or squish out when physically squeezed… but as an added bonus you will start to smell like a locker room within a few hours, and then the athletes’ foot or crotch rot will set in. Good luck with all that.”
@blaadnort You left out “swamp ass”.
@blaadnort, Well, I had a Briefer definition {soak up}, butt yours went into much more deTail, so thanks for d article,…I mean comment.
@blaadnort “moisture wicking technology to get that special sweat directly into your pants fabric so you can look like you had some sort of accident”
I am so God Damned fat.
@j37hr0 My ex-wife so fat. Last week, I was driving my car and saw her crossing the street. I had to drive over her because I didn’t have enough gas to get around!

@Odysseus1001 I have similar concerns from recent meh purchases. Those recently sold 100% Cotton Henley Slub Tees were total garbage.
@Odysseus1001 yea, i know? right?
@jayman007 @Odysseus1001
@Odysseus1001 I really like the samples I got and feel they are quality
@Odysseus1001 If you want quality, you’re not shopping at Meh…
@Odysseus1001, All I’ll say is the briefs could Not be 100% Cotton because there is Nylon, or whatever in the waistband, but the material can be 100% Cotton. So there is a play in words as d mfctrs always do, e.g., whole wheat !!

what if my belly isn’t in line?
i may have a 12-pack
maybe more?
40-42" is XL?
Wtf?
@audiocontr, or it could mean fat if you’re short like me, but not iffen you’re tall. Of course there Is always ‘Pleasingly Plump’!!
@1DisabledWarVet @audiocontr
“Gravitationally Endowed”
I read that as “Only Members”…
Still works.

I don’t understand why this is for sale. I just go commando.
And when I don’t go commando, I do not need so many pairs. Have you guys heard of inside/out? Saves money and laundry.
HAHAHAHAHA

@hammi99 and it only took like 15 tries refreshing the giphy, but take it from Jerry who happens to be commando as well!

They’re good quality, almost TOO good quality. The ones I got had nylon so strong that it was too tight, I couldn’t fall asleep from it, had to change to an old pair of underwear to fall asleep
