To test durability, in addition to usual washing after wear, we washed each pair of underwear three times straight with a few pairs of jeans (to simulate a rough wash). A Tommy John underwear review found that the women’s line is luxurious and effortlessly comfortable with Air, Air Invisibles, Second Skin, and Cool Cotton options to choose from. They definitely combat odor.”. Original review: Sept. 25, 2020 Purchased black and white underwear. We welcome your feedback. Ultimately, there were better options available for the price. I (Liz Thomas), served as the primary women’s tester and filmmaker Miguel Aguilar did men’s testing. There was an error retrieving your Wish Lists. They’ve replaced it with Supima Cotton boxers (sigh). Also, because it’s soft rather slick, there’s definitely some friction to the fabric, which means pants can pull it around a bit, though it’s snug enough that I mostly didn’t notice it once everything’s on. For example, Uniqlo makes both cotton and synthetic boxer briefs, and the cotton version is about half as expensive. An honest Tommy John Underwear review **SIX MONTH UPDATE AT THE END! The Uniqlo Airism does this fairly well, but the Tommy John Air does it better. That’s the way it should be. It's so unbelievably soft and breathable. A few people here and there had said they had run into the same problems; legs moving up, not a forgiving enough fabric, and so on. I think the fit on this one is as good as it gets. They also complain about riding up and the overly prominent logo (which we didn’t like either). One commenter about the Airisms — in your post explaining why they’re superior to Ex Officios — was troubled by the conditions under which they’re made, and I thought that you might address that here (because you did respond to that commenter!). $0.00. For feedback on the challenges undies may face internationally, we pinned down global nomad and author of The Hidden Europe Francis Tapon during the Sudanese portion of his five-year walk through all 54 African countries. Also not available in all markets either, tried looking for them in Manila, but they’ve never heard of them here, they only have the low rise, regular rise and ankle length ‘steteco’ versions. Tommy John underwear for women is offered in six stylish fits: The Boyshort gives you full coverage, including the hips. imo, you’ll have to decide for yourself whether or not the price/value is there for you personally. In the case of these, I had already bought from Tommy John before, and the fit was perfect; but I only had the modal fabric, which is nice, but not necessarily suitable for the sort of travel that I talk about. I tried the Second Skin Brief and Air Thong and both were a noticeable upgrade from my previous go-tos. Soft, modal underwear isn’t just for boxer briefs, so one of our readers’ favorite brands, Tommy John, is launching women’s. The Air is feather-light and gives you that no-feel feeling as promised, and the Second Skin material feels cool and silky to the touch. The only major downside is that travel underwear tends to be a bit more expensive per pair than typical cotton undies. It feels soft on the inside and smooth on the outside so it slides against your pants instead of creating friction, reducing potential for chafing. I love Minipresso. Though it never fully pilled, the fabric looks noticeably worn after a few washes, especially when wet. The ExOfficio Give-N-Go Sport Mesh Hi Cut Brief felt soft, dried quickly, and wicked well, but didn’t stay in place as well as our picks. Also the odor resistance isn’t as effective or durable compared with pricier boxers and panties. I’ve been trying to avoid “this is good enough” purchases that eventually get replaced in favor of “this is just right” ones for a while, and they often end up working out a lot better. I trust your opinion and have made several large purchases with your recommendation in mind. For some reason I just haven’t run into trouble with underwear smelling bad, even if I have trouble with the same fabric causing problems in t-shirts. There's a generous amount of fabric in the Cheeky, which usually lends the risk of bunching and shifting, but it wasn't until I got home and thought about it did I realize I didn't have to awkwardly adjust my underwear the entire day. It must be cut to not rip the stitching in the seam. They’re not super stretchy, the legs can ride up, and the fit could be improved. These included backpacking 215 miles throughout the city of Portland, Oregon; six weeks backpacking the Canadian Rockies, walking from the lowest point in the Continental US to the highest; and road-tripping to the national parks of the West. So after a few cycles through the laundry, this happened: This is unfortunate given the $48 price tag, but I think this is just what happens when you have a soft, thin, meshy fabric. The thinner material takes up less space in your bag. The Air Mesh Performance Tank is the ultimate men's undershirt. Travel underwear reduces chafing and wicks away moisture—ensuring that discomfort from your undies doesn’t hold you back from your adventures. mesh bags are cheap and weigh almost nothing. Burn your 100% cotton. Fabric: 77% Nylon Mesh, 23% Spandex; Machine wash cold. Sure, cost may not be an issue, but you were so casual about the dramatic difference that it cautions me. This does not drive our decision as to whether or not a product is featured or recommended. Subscriber “Support” is what happens when you lift something from underneath. The Under Armour Original Series 6″ Boxerjock performed well, but wasn’t a standout in any category. I will admit I felt a little ill spending $38 on underwear the first time but they’re worth it. It was among the slowest to dry in our tests. During backpacking trips, the six-inch boxer brief caused our tester some slight chafing between the thighs (he attributed this to the size of his thighs, as this is a problem he had with all the underwear). How do they fare in terms of smell after a full day of wear? Eytan is a pretentious English major whose rant-laden sarcastic tirades occasionally include budget travel tips and other international nonsense. The number of requests kept growing, but co-founder Erin Fujimoto says that the real turning point was seeing a Facebook photo from a woman wearing Tommy John boxer briefs, with the caption, "Tommy John underwear is the most comfortable underwear I've ever worn.". Notify me of follow-up comments by email. I can’t even find any on eBay. Each collection comes in multiple styles, with the Cheeky, Brief, and Thong common across both, but an additional Boyshort style in Second Skin. The Uniqlo Airism’s fit provides a comfortable amount of coverage for both men and women. Our undershirts are form fitting, but are never restrictive to wear. Still, we’ve chosen the Smartwool Women’s Seamless Bikini underwear (a redesign of the original Smartwool Women’s PhD Seamless Bikini that we tested) as our runner-up pick because they’re one of the best all-around pair that are made with wool. They’ve just released their “Air” line of underwear and undershirts, and they sent me a couple samples to try out. This is not just going to be a side-by-side comparison. http://www.amazon.com/Ikea-Pressa-Washing-Bag-Set/dp/B00O7YRI7S/ref=pd_sim_201_4?ie=UTF8&dpID=41tY5-5It%2BL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0S70BXPVY86Q3N8NJVHN. Original review: July 24, 2020. Certainly not bad, though. You know that penguin-waddle that happens when your pants are too low? Prime members enjoy FREE Delivery and exclusive access to music, movies, TV shows, original audio series, and Kindle books. If you are handwashing, not necessary. You should receive a confirmation email shortly. Durable, quick-drying, and relatively inexpensive, this soft-fabric version of ExOfficio’s time-tested Give-N-Go undies will get the job done for years. Online reviewers noted holes developing in as few as three or four wears. The Uniqlo Airism does this too, though I think the TJ Air’s is slightly roomier, but on this particular point I think it’s similar enough to call it even. Though the company has primarily focused on growing its men's business from a simple undershirt to a whole line of clothing, it's been fielding requests for women's underwear since its launch. They’re a bit long in the legs—not ideal for pairing with short shorts—but other than that, we have no complaints if you can afford the hefty price. Don’t get comfortable and be one of those shoddy reviewers. They’ve just released their “Air” line of underwear and undershirts, and they sent me a couple samples to try out. They took a bit less than 2½ hours to fully dry on a line compared with two hours for the fastest-drying boxers, but it’s unlikely that the extra 20 to 30 minutes of drying time will make or break any situation. If you’ve ever found that doing laundry cuts into your travel time or budget, there’s a better way to have clean skivvies when you’re on the road. (They have also since been discontinued.). So when I saw they were offering a quick-drying fabric, I was already thinking of buying them anyway, before I had ever spoken to them. The debut women's collection features two types of fabric, Air and Second Skin. It was also pricey for synthetics and not as odor-resistant as the others. The Patagonias have the best fit, comfort, and style out of all the panties we tested. When you think of what the perfect pair of trunks looks like on an aesthetic level, I’d say these come in pretty close. It’s hard to understand minor fit issues without just trying something on, but I hope the descriptions here will not only give you an idea of why these work so much better than so many others, but also what to look for if you’re shopping around somewhere. There's a problem loading this menu right now. This post really seems like an advertisement. However, color options are more limited compared with ExOfficio. It also didn’t fit as well and physically looks more like travel underwear than the Sport Mesh version. Throughout these trips, ExOfficio’s Give-N-Go Sport Mesh 6″ Boxer Brief for men and Patagonia’s Active Hipster for women have proven themselves to be the best underwear for most travelers and active people in general. And though synthetic materials have a slick, silky feel that many people love in underwear, they tend to feel less luxurious than the softer modal-blend skivvies popularized by companies like MeUndies. And yes, the fabric is stretchy enough that I think it’ll accommodate quite a bit of variation. But for a more than reasonable price, you’re still getting great underwear that wicks, breathes, supports, and dries as well as the best travel underwear available. That being said, they aren’t perfect. We touched each pair every 20 minutes to determine whether it was dry and order of drying time. For me, the stand out is by far the camisole. Our tests over year we originally researched this guide—which included a five-week backpacking trip using Smartwool Women’s PhD Seamless Bikini underwear—have shown that merino wool can be incredibly durable.
