Saying goodbye to special underwear.

Several years ago, I needed some underwear. This was before I would consider buying underwear online, so I went to the store and bought a couple of packages, one from a brand called Covington and one from Polo.

Buying underwear is always a bit of an adventure, because you can't exactly try them on. So I went home and the next day when it was time to shower, I broke them out of their package, and a love affair was born.

They were the perfect underwear, just perfect. The material was soft, yet stylish. The waistband was just snug enough that it did its job perfectly, yet I never felt it. At the end of the day, I didn't have any unsightly indents in my waist, or chafing at my hips. And the front created the perfect pouch that not only felt comfortable, but it somehow seemed to ... ahem ... "enhance" the apparent size of what it was protecting. They really made a man feel confident at the doctor's office.

I loved that underwear. Both brands. They were my A-team underwear for running races, for travel, for those long airport days where you didn't want anything riding up or sliding down. I've purchased other underwear in the ensuing years that is perfectly comfortable, but never underwear that has become a part of me like my beloved Covington and Polo collections. I've tried to find new versions in recent years, but styles have changed and waistbands have changed, and I can't seem to find that perfect style.

But alas, the saddest thing about underwear is that its life span is shorter than ours. One by one the elastic has gone out, or the material has worn off to the extent that it can no longer pass the paramedic test if I was in an accident.

I've lost a Polo and a Covington in the last month, sadly giving them a final salute before gingerly placing them into the trash receptacle. My team is dwindling, and it will only accelerate. So I'm here today to tell you, if you have a great pair of underwear, appreciate it, because you won't be together forever.

From the thread title, I though maybe you had left the Mormon Church?

I buy all my underwear at ROSS or Marshall's. It's marked down underwear made by brands that don't make underwear. Like Adidas, PUMA, Hugo Boss, Perry Ellis, etc.

It usually ****ing sucks, but hey it was on sale.

I think I'm going to buy one pair of many of these suggested brands, and I'll give you reviews.

After coupon code 3 pair of Duluth Buck Naked $50 shipped. **** that, I can't do it. I'd do maybe $10/pair for good boxers but can't bring myself to go any higher than that.

Okay, first pair ordered. I'm starting out with the "Pair of Thieves" Mr. Pool Megasoft. It's festive looking.

Yeah, I'm suffering some price shock here. But I feel that I should embrace my new philosophy that comfortable underwear is where a person should invest their money.

They will last twice as long as any other boxers. More money up front, but less money spent later replacing them.

My cheap Walmart Hanes usually last me at least 3 years.

I have pairs of Duluth underwear that I’ve had for well over 5 years and they still look brand new. Waistband still perfect and zero holes in them.
