Default Underwear

Jeez the cost of this stuff now. I used to pity girls who had to spend 30 notes on a bra, now a decent set of boxers is heading that way. Need to replace some but don't have a £200 budget for 10 pairs!!!

After some CKs or similar is the stuff from HK on ebay authentic (I suspect not)?

Go on ebay, there is a power seller who gets all his stuff from U.A.E!

3 pairs 16 pound delivered, i have about 12 pairs off him and they are all top notch!

Bought 3 white, 3 black and one mixed colour box!

I used to pay £4.99 for my matching string vest and underpants and these days they are asking £6.99 for the same set, the world has gone mad!

Get a pack of 5 from Next mate. I know the brand won't be as cool as CKs etc but I figure you'll only need the CKs for when a bird may see them!
Unless you're ******** someone everyday at work?

MattW, the name of the seller was "leave to remain 1974"
Just checked ebay for you!

I last bought some off him in july this year

He is no longer a registered user for some reason???????

**** knows why?????????

But i reckon you will be ok with any power seller who has been registered for more than a couple of years!

Power sellers tend not to do fake stuff in my opinion!

Another vote for Next here. Decent quality, comfy, and look pretty good. Allegedly.

I got one pair of cK's to see what all the fuss was about years ago. Hate them, and only wear them if we're behind on the washing. It's the lack of Lycra ! Once on, one sit down leaves them baggy and then moving around into uncomfortable positions. I buy Pringle and Jeff Banks for IRO £5 a pair from Matalan with 95% cotton/5% Lycra and they stay comfy and snug all day. I really like Jockey Athletic Pro-Sport Rib, but they are about £12 a pair

Geez I thought this thread was gonna be asking about lingerie. What a let down

Its quite funny (but good for us lazy gits) how so many blokes where CK as tbf there isnt that much choice out there. Yet women have so many options to choose from. Best of both worlds for us blokes

Ive got quite a few CK's but they dont seem to make them as good these days. My older pairs are deffo a lot more comfy than recent ones Ive bought. Last a long time too.
