Fruit of the Looms are overpriced

I mean, it's getting close to $20 for a 3 pack. And they seem to be getting thinner, and the elastic doesn't last as long. Recent purchases are looking worse than pairs I bought several years ago. Disappointing.

Gotta love it when quality goes to crap AND cost goes way up.

Don't half ass wiping your ass and it's all good.

$20 for a 3-pack of underwear is absurd. My boys' comfort is worth a lot more than that. After a couple of years of searching I've finally found the real coach of the ball game - Duluth Trading. They have a model that has a sewn-in compartment for your - ahem "anatomy" that really keeps things in place, not sticking to your leg under sweaty conditions or finding itself in uncomfortable positions at inconvenient times. They call it the "Bull pen" Model 32815.
I'm never going back.

I only use 100% organic underwear! No chemicals or fertilizers used.

That's really TMI Steve. Your emissions are your own business.

I am. It worries me so much I'm afraid to zip up, even in public.
The charges are pending and my first hearing is next week.

I’ll have to check those out Currently like wd, I’m sporting the Duluth but they can be pricey.

As a kid we always wore JC Penny “Towncraft”. Those were quality chonies.
