Hello gentlemen of OzBargain. Just wondering what brand of underwear do you wear and how much do you pay for them?

The 40-50% Bonds sales won't do anymore because the products, whether briefs or trunks, don't last very long. The elastic stretches after only a few washes.

Right now I'm using cheap, generic underwear but they're not very comfortable, though they have survived more washes than any Bonds. Looking for something with more comfort and longevity - briefs or trunks no matter, I like to rotate. Please recommend me some brands, thanks.

Edit1:
A few Kmart and Aldi suggestions with attractive pricing. Shall try. A couple Uniqlo Airism suggestions, will also try.

Edit2:
Overwhelming response, thanks guys. Heaps of solid suggestions.
These look promising, thanks 2jzzzz.
The most popular seems to be Uniqlo Airism and CK underwear.

    Uniqlo Airism - not too expensive, nice material and long lasting.

    • pokipop on 23/02/2017 - 00:44

      Will head into Uniqlo to check it out. Thanks!

        That camel toe look in men's boxers freaks me out! It does not look right.

    Trunks from Kmart..cause i am cheap.

      I got some "Champions" from Costco a while ago… they're still holding the jewels nicely.
      Elastic is not overpowered, but stands the test of time.
      Women think it looks nice, not like Uncle Tony's gross white budgie smugs.
      And I think I got them in a pack of 3 for $10.
      Not sure if they're a regular item…. haven't been to Costco's in ages, because everything else is a ripoff.

      • theStinge on 23/02/2017 - 21:30

        Can confirm regular item; ~$16 for the 3-pack.

        • Kangal on 24/02/2017 - 00:32

          Cheers!

      Me too bro. Why spend $30 PER UNDERWEAR. They're going on your butt for godssakes, why spend a lot of money? These undies look decent, they're good quality. What else do you need??

      • arcticmonkey on 23/02/2017 - 18:35
        +2

        What if you are dating a pretty girl? Spending $30 could be considered an investment.

        You've got to keep your jelly safely in its kingdom.

          I'm married to the pretty girl so I don't have to try anymore haha

          Seriously tho, these undies are good quality And look good and are cheap. What isn't to love?? And they aren't pretentious like CK undies

          @jellykingdom:
          Agreed.

          Last time I tried a thin undie, it felt like the arctic wind on my monkeys.

      • ss207k on 24/02/2017 - 14:03

        Agree, kmart is good stuff. Lasts me a year or may be longer. I buy a new set and chuck out my old undies and vests every year regardless of what condition it is in… So low costs works out well for me.

      • gore on 25/02/2017 - 03:47

        Frankly, space for my junk. I assume most guys don't need it by the way 99% of underwear as shaped but some of us need a lot more.

    • apptrack on 23/02/2017 - 16:53
      +11

      Alpha brand from Kmart is pretty decent

      • Gronk on 24/02/2017 - 08:42

        Yup, this.

        I stocked up when they were 3 for $15 back around Christmas, they're as good as any of the more expensive brands I've tried.

      • dbun1 on 24/02/2017 - 13:35
        +1

        Yep - this is all I buy now. I was expecting them to be crap, but was surprised at how well they last vs. price

      • decr on 24/02/2017 - 17:13

        Yes, bought a couple of pairs and was pleasantly surprised. I can't remember the price now but yeah around $5 can't go too wrong and they look like new after ~10 washes.

        Geez OzB is a strange place.

        • Rocket6 on 24/02/2017 - 20:38

          @decr, you'll get at least 50 washes out of them - they are superb!

      • Rocket6 on 24/02/2017 - 20:37

        Second this! Although I look the loose-ish ones, not the really tight ones.

      • Gnosh on 26/02/2017 - 14:12

        Yup. Bought these when I was away for a week and forgot to pack enough undies. I thought they'd be crap and that I'd be chucking them out after.

        They have actually outlasted everything I've bought in the last 3 years and are super comfortable. Elastic still as new.

    Kmart clearance bin. About $0.50 a pair?

  • railspider on 22/02/2017 - 16:46

    Kmart Alpha brand is good quality considering the price ($5 or less a pair). Go for the seamless variety with elastane - comfortable and seem to last quite a while.

    • Donaldhump on 22/02/2017 - 20:37

      The elastic goes after a year

      • Munki on 23/02/2017 - 14:23

        I mean considering the intimate nature of your underwear, do you really want to keep them for over a year?

    The bonds with cotton also around the waist, not just elastic waist are much better quality.

      Second this. Bonds hipster trunks, very comfortable, lasts for years

  • gooddealmate on 22/02/2017 - 16:59

    I find the bonds briefs with the 40mm elasticated tops with the large lettering last very well. Get them when one of the supermarkets have them at half price or less.

    • pokipop on 23/02/2017 - 00:47

      These are the ones I normally get. Maybe I'm doing the washinf wrong.

        Do you dry them in the sun, maybe that is causing premature degradation?

      I bought undies from Aldi a year or so ago - they smelt really strongly of petrol/some petroleum derivative. What's up with that?

        +5

        Leaded or unleaded?

          @cloudy: I think some of my undies are from the 90's.

          I bet they weren't from Aldi

    The Aldi Westbay underpants in the European trunk style are good quality, quick drying and they last well, about $5 when available. Comfort and lifespan in undies is more important than simply the price.

    CK. I was actually searching where I could get more but it's hard to get them at good prices. They seem to outlast most others

    • kyle on 23/02/2017 - 08:44

      I usually wait until DJ has the extra discount and sometimes this applies to already discounted CKs.

      I get my CK from Costco. Much cheaper than the CK store in Birkenhead even if they are on sale.
