Underwear Kanban

XsApollo

Alright people what are your stock levels.

Just throwing mine in the wash there and realise I am getting dangerously low and the quality has deteriated badly.
Half of them I wouldn't wear going out or doing anything bar wearing them in work.
Threw out 3 pairs there,
Down to about 2 weeks worth now.

I like having a months supply of underwear and socks , cuts down on washing or any emergency situation where I would have to call in the commando.

TK maxx the weekend I think.

I've been commando for five years now. Free and easy

Nothing says comfort like an unfurnished basement.

However I still have stock from when MandMDirect had Puma jocks on sale for 50c a pair. Great support for those of us that need it.

The shorter length Bjorn Borgs, probably around 15-20 pairs. They fit, I know my size so it's easy to replace as required.

Jack the Stripper

Herselfs gear is there if stock runs out here.

Beyondgone

I'm gone Kaizen on it.. working towards Gucci, from a start in F&Fs.

Continuous improvement.

I've shadow boards for mine. Too late finding out you've run out after going to the drawer. Better to have in your face visual stock outs.

New primark (not in Ireland) opened in the city I live. Decided to add to the stockpile. Was temped to go for a pair of pokemon jocks but god dammit I could get 3 black ones for a euro less. Some day, some how, Pikachu will caress my ballsack!

I did a count a while ago and I had fifty something pairs. Now, some of them have more holes in them than standard, but they get thrown out slowly.

Pro tip. Get into bed with jocks on. Take them off once in bed. If they have damage then rip them off yourself. It'll stop you putting ****ty (ahem....) jocks back in the rotation and you get to destroy something before bed.

Day 1 - clean jocks.
Day 2 - wear them inside out.
Day 3 - re-wear them.
Day 4 - use vacuum cleaner on them if needed.
Day 5 - Spray them with fabreeze.
Day 6 - Commando while the one pair are in the wash.
Day 7 - rinse and repeat.

A whole drawer full of them, changed at least twice if not three times during the day. Have never ran out. I have loads.
Love buying underwear

whoopsadoodles

This just came up elsewhere actually...

I very very rarely wear pants, and only wear socks gym/running so that makes it easy! I do wear tights/stockings to work and they're a pain in the hole because I'm fierce fussy about them and nearly cry if I put a ladder in a pair. Bras are nightmare to wash and to wear, I'd love if I could just not wear them all the time, I often go without but don't think it's appropriate for work....

Could do with some new bras though.

Must be that time of year, had to recycle 3 pairs of jocks last week.

I've been hearing that TK MAxx isn't what it used to be. They no longer stock last years designer or upmarket fashions at a discount. Now cheapo companies like the ones that stock every other budget clothes shop just get a license to make branded goods and supply TK Maxx.

You mean When you buy a pack of Ben Shermans in there , that they arnt made by Ben sherman?
I find them alright, I always get 3 or 2 for a tenner.
Is there anywhere else online or mortar to get quality jocks at cheap prices?

hungry hypno toad

Have maybe 50 pairs of boxer shorts, GAP and Banana Republic mainly.

In name only, the big brands have apparently been producing cheap clothes for TK Maxx for years because there wasn't enough ex stock around to keep up with the demand from the growing number of stores.

3 pack of tight black cotton boxers in H&M, I must have bought about 10 packs. About 12e

Minimum 3 week stock.

I keep at least 3 weeks worth of the same socks that I wear 95% of the time, these are kept in their own drawer. So no matter how groggy or hungover I am, I will always have a matching pair of socks. They all get replaced at the same time so that I don't end up with situation where I could end up having a nice soft fresh sock and half worn off colour sock on at the same time :eek:

razorblunt

I've got about 16-20 pairs myself.

Broken down into gym/running, decent and fancy shmancy.
TK Maxx is the job for them alright.

I've started wearing compression shorts for the gym now and that tends to mean the jox last longer.
I'm almost at premium jox only now, been aiming for that since I was 15. What a time to be alive.

I gave up on matching socks, as long as they're sock cousins (from the same pack) it's close enough for me. At the moment I'm wearing one thick thermal sock and two lesser thermal socks on the other foot so I wouldn't be lop sided.

JupiterKid

Briefs or tight boxers for me. I hate loose boxers.

Going commando can be nice but you've to wash yer kaks more often - for obvious reasons!
