Underwear is one of the things that I struggle to use second-hand, and I’m not sure if I intend to change that (lest some nowaste people teach me mystical ways and methods :P) But the fact is that I can only use what I’ve got currently for so long, and so I turn to you.

I am not looking for specific reccomendations exclusively, and the type of underwear (underpants, brasseries, undershirts) are all welcome for discussion! But I’m hoping to find advice which will help me find something that will last, and to a decent standard (i.e, don’t use polyester socks, due to smell).

So please lend your advice for finding Bras, Briefs, Bobbysocks, and Bundershirts!

EDIT: Also advice on what materials are better suited to different climates is also well appreciated! (I tend to leave my posts personal detail agnostic so they can serve as resources for others :))

    I kept the post pretty gender neutral because I wanted to contribute to making a kind of ‘psuedo masterpost’ on the topic, and am hoping to invite a large swathe of experiences (goodness knows lemmy needs some haha)

    A problem for me is I’ve always been too stingy to experiment, as your friends have, though I’m hoping to change and develop from there, but am hoping for advice to help narrow things down

    kinda wish i had a swiss army knife now. will a woodcutting axe suffice?

      The axe is better for making your own furniture. The word “hacker” supposedly originally referred to people who made furniture that way.

        Here I was thinking it came from typing fast.

        Anyway, whenever someone says “hacker-proof”, now imagine Thorbjörn the Cruel with his trusty battle axe.
