Brief or boxerbrief preferred
I dont think underwear is meant to last a lifetime
That’s what my mom said and so far I’ve been right
Well, you need to wash it regularly, you know. /j
This shit, right here, is the exact underwear I’ve been wearing since 2014. Without David Archy, I wouldn’t have been able to run 3 marathons, or do a lot of stuff.
I started 2014 with briefs. Then the boys got sweaty. That led to cheeseballs. I realized that the boys needed to breathe a bit more.
So I switched to boxers. I did a lot of walking and a lot of stairs, in boots. One day, I was going down the stairs and I took a step and a sharp pain shot up my nuts.
Went to the doctor, he said I needed more support. I told him my issue with briefs and he said to look for a natural fiber.
So I started researching natural fibers, and micro-modal is one of the best. It’s wicking, cooling, etc, but still cotton. You won’t get no cheese balls with it.
But I was still scared of the compression that happens with briefs.
Eventually, I found David Archy’s. They’ve got a sack for your sack that keeps em separated. Woah. Gotta keep em seperated.
I slapped these bad boys on and have been wearing them ever since:
In terms of buy it for life, it’s probably not it. But I have ordered new underwear from David Archy’s about once every 4 years. And for underwear, I think that’s pretty good. I’m sure if I didn’t shove absolutely everything in the washer, it might hold up even better. But I’m lazy.
I feel like the sizing runs a bit larger, but I haven’t worn any other brand of underwear since 2014, so I don’t know if that’s actually true. But you get a tight fit and your partner will be like, “dayum.”
Edit: sorry, I didn’t see what community this was at first. I don’t think this is an EU brand. But I would look for micro modal, and a sack for your sack (which seems to be called pouch underwear). I did a look, there are a few EU brands that sell pouch, I didn’t see any that separate the boys from the shaft though, with DA does.
4 year turn over is pretty good
4 years, then you turn them inside out.
Not these bad boys, they’re not reversible, because of the sack for your balls.
I like the idea but do I have to fiddle the banana into that small hole every time I put on my underwear?
I believe that I am averagely endowed, my guy sits in the center of my balls as if they were a throne on the regular. For me, it slips right into place, as I put my boxers on.
I’ve had issues occasionally when they get a little old and a little loose where the underwear doesn’t stretch tight anymore, sometimes that’s uncomfy but more because nothing is where it supposed to be, and doesn’t stay. A hot wash usually fixes it on that pair.
I’ve never had an issue threading the needle though. But maybe others would?
So I started researching natural fibers, and micro-modal is one of the best. It’s wicking, cooling, etc, but still cotton.
Just as a remark: Modal is a cellulose fiber made from natural materials, e.g. bamboo, but not a natural fiber like cotton, wool or linen/flax are.
That website has a good sense of humor!
Trigema (Germany) is pretty good, but fucking expensive. There exists no BIFL underwear.
There exists no BIFL underwear.
That sounds like a challenge.
https://www.schiesser.com/ a German brand, not sure about where they produce.
and what ever happened to BIFL kevlar socks?
Loom is a great brand. They a build for durability witch make them a good value for money. Bio cotton from portugal https://www.loom.fr/en-de
I buy from https://eu.dilling.com/, Danish company, makes clothes I think in Lithuania (not sure if all of them).
Does Hanro make their stuff on the EU still?
I like Intimissimi Uomo’s designs but they don’t produce in Europe. Colorful Standard is nice. There’s CDLP if on sale.
