You often wear underwear for hours at a time. Yet when shopping online, people still tend to look only at colour, brand or discount. This can result in a waistband that digs in, fabric that quickly loses its shape or a style that shows through your clothes.
The main pitfalls are usually easy to avoid:
For women’s underwear, measure both your waist and hip measurements. For men’s underwear, the waist is particularly important, but the leg opening and waistband height also affect comfort. Also check whether the style is slim fit, fitted, relaxed fit or high waist.
Look out for these signs:
A size guide is a useful aid, not a guarantee. If you are between two sizes, look at the elastane percentage and consider how much coverage you want.
Cotton underwear generally feels familiar and is suitable for everyday wear. Elastane provides stretch and helps the style retain its shape. A cotton blend containing, for example, 90% cotton and 10% elastane will offer a different fit from 100% cotton.
Modal feels smooth and soft. It can be comfortable under close-fitting clothing, but always check the full fibre composition. Nylon and spandex are often used for seamless underwear, shapewear and shaping underwear because they offer plenty of stretch.
Also pay attention to the finish:
When it comes to claims about an antibacterial finish, check whether the claim appears in the product information and follow the washing instructions. Such a statement is not a medical promise.
An underwear 3-pack is useful for maintaining an everyday supply and may offer better value per item. However, compare the price per pair and check that all the pieces have the same colour, size and design.
Care has a major effect on the product’s lifespan. Wash according to the label, use a gentle programme for delicate lingerie and avoid the tumble dryer when advised against. Hand washing is often recommended for shapewear with bonded sections. The wrong temperature or drying method can damage elastic fibres and seams more quickly.
For travel, recovery or situations where washing is difficult, disposable underwear can be practical. Dispose of it according to local waste regulations and check beforehand whether the product is intended for single use.

It depends on how often you wear it, the material and how you care for it. Replace a pair when the elastic remains stretched, seams start to come undone, the fabric becomes thin or the fit changes. Looking at the condition of the garment is more reliable than following a fixed timeframe.
Thongs and seamless underwear generally have less visible edges. However, check the leg openings and waistband: an edge may still show if the style is too tight. Choose a colour that contrasts as little as possible with your clothing and follow the size guide.
Yes, especially if you want to pack light or cannot wash clothes straight away. Check the number of pieces, the material information, the size and whether it is genuinely intended for single use. For everyday wear, washable underwear is usually more practical and creates less waste.
