can't decide if it's embarrassing to crowdsource this or not, so I'm going for it: where do people buy underwear these days? like everyday underwear. i have places for nice fancy stuff. i need boring undies here. like I really want to thoroughly emphasize that they do not have to be cute, only comfy
Avatar
don't even try to suggest meundies. i tried a free one from them one time and it gives me wedgies worse than a thong. it's currently relegated to laundry emergency underwear territory. the podcasts lied

alright it sounds like Target is probably my best bet as a replacement Hanes 5-pack provider now that bartell drugs is defunct
Avatar
I got like a buy one get one on sale from them and they are stuffed in the back of a drawer they're so bad
Avatar
THANK YOU. they're really bad
Avatar
The pattern was cute and that was literally the only thing they had going for them lol
Avatar
I only buy Fruit of the Loom and they're the only boxers that never pile. Hanes are notoriously annoying with that.
Avatar
I go to Target and buy a package of 5 Hanes cotton briefs.
Avatar
that's what I used to get at bartell's (RIP) so this seems promising

seconding Target for having nice, comfy options

pact undies have done right by me for many years

i like torrid but i’m a lil on the chubby side, they’re always on sale and cheap and comfy
Avatar
yeah afaik torrid is plus size only? I've seen cute stuff from them but I'm definitely in the like juniors section size range lmfao 😭
Avatar
oooh yeah in that case no dice! best of luck
Avatar
I really like Tomboyx, nice range of styles, soft, very well made.

Target for Hanes or Fruit of the Loom ^_^

definitely the staple growing up, I wish I could go there without a membership haha
Avatar
in canada at least i THINK you can order online from them without a membership
Avatar
wait really?? well this could be life-changing
Avatar
You can order some things from Costco on Instacart without a membership.
Avatar
ohh yeah, I guess I did know that. instacart fees are so much though 😭
Avatar
yeah you don’t get access to *everything* in-store and it’s not quite as cheap as going there but still better than most options for a lot of things.
Avatar
I hate shopping at big box stores but Hanes has some affordable (10-15$ for 6-8 pairs) cotton panties, women’s briefs and the boxer short options at Walmart and target if you have those. I always look for over 80% cotton bc it’s healthier.
Avatar
on a related note, where would one get cute but not lacy underwear these days? The five-packs I buy are comfortable but I'm SICK of black and white and pastel pink. I want cartoon prints. UK based preferred, help a friend out?
Avatar
ooh, idk about prints! i'm definitely partial to lace in bright colors myself haha
Avatar
I have really bad texture sensitivities lol
Avatar
I mean, for real basic, Target or Ross or something. I know some people use like Aerie cuz they frequently have decent sales going and do have larger sizes.
Avatar
Parade will often have sales and their stuff is really soft!
Avatar
Lately I've been getting mine from Pact, they have a lot of nice cotton basics, multi pack discounts on underwear, and frequently go on sale.

Burlington coat factory, super underrated

Walmart and TJ Maxx. I got Haynes stuff at Walmart. I like comfy stuff and I can generally find something comfortable and affordable at one of those two places. Used to go to target but I sort of stopped shopping at Target when it idk stopped stocking a lot of things? Target here is weird now.

I really like tomboyx, but that might be gender stuff.

i have to use amazon cause its hard to find things in my size that fit nicely... [i get fruit of the loom... which should be easy to find, but our stores are often picked over leaving only thongs or tiny tiny sizes]
Avatar
FWIW, I like Jockey For Women's Elance.
Avatar
i am honestly the most basic bitch on earth because i just want plain jane cotton granny panties. i just get em on amazon :/ pretty colors or patterns are nice but not necessary i just need them to be cotton ONLY.
Avatar
My friend actually introduced me to Aerie’s underwear, they’re very soft and comfy and they’re often on sale, like 7 for $30? I haven’t been super satisfied with Hanes or Fruit of the Loom brands for a while, some that I’ve bought more recently are poorer quality than when I used to buy.
Avatar
Target or Walmart is your best bet for like, basic boring comfy packs of undies probably

For finding them I don’t know if my recommendations would help, being a different country. I got some Bonds seamless midi briefs the other day though and I can recommend them for people who, like me, hate elastic digging into their butts.
