Underwear may seem like a simple purchase, but you quickly notice an incorrect size, unclear material composition or impractical fit. A low price per item means little if the waistband rolls, seams rub or the fabric loses its shape after just a few washes.
For online shoppers in the Netherlands, these are the main pitfalls to watch out for:
Choose the style based on your clothing and daily activities. Thongs and thongs provide little coverage and may be less visible under tight clothing. Briefs, hip briefs and bikini briefs offer more coverage. For men, boxers, trunks and classic briefs are common options.
When comparing products, check:
A product page that only provides a letter size does not give you enough information. This is particularly important when looking for plus-size underwear, such as 3XL or 4XL. Also check that the size is actually available for the style you have chosen. With some Calvin Klein products, the naming differs from the size chart shown.
Cotton underwear is often chosen for its soft feel and breathability. Elastane provides stretch and helps the garment fit more closely. A composition such as 90% cotton and 10% elastane is more specific than a general claim about “stretch comfort”.
Modal generally feels smooth and supple. For a product made from modal, cotton and elastane, it is sensible to check the care label, as care requirements can vary depending on the composition. Also look at:
Be cautious with “antibacterial” and similar claims. According to Utree’s product description, the gusset contains a so-called 10A antibacterial cotton component. This is a description provided by the brand or seller, not a general guarantee of how effective it is. Choose the product based on the listed materials, fit and care information.
Underwear is often washed several times a week. Practical care instructions are therefore more important than a prominent logo. Some styles can be machine-washed at 30 °C and must not be tumble-dried. Other products are suitable for low tumble-drying temperatures.
Always follow the care label. Washing at too high a temperature, bleach and a hot tumble dryer can damage elastic fibres. Over time, check that the waistband still fits properly, that the fabric is not becoming thin and that the seams remain intact. There is no fixed lifespan that applies to every material and frequency of wear.

We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety requirements.
Measure your waist and hips with a flexible tape measure, without pulling it tight. Compare the result with the size chart for the specific product. An M from one brand may fit differently from an M from another. Also read notes such as “runs small” and check whether the size chart is intended for women’s or men’s underwear.
It depends on how often you wear and wash it, as well as the material. Replace an item when the fabric becomes thin, the elastic stretches out, the seams come undone or the fit is no longer right. Rotating several pairs of briefs, thongs, boxers or bralettes means each item is worn less frequently.
A multipack can lower the price per item and is convenient for a regular washing routine. However, compare the total price, composition, colours and size availability. A 5-pack is not automatically better value if you rarely wear certain styles or colours. Also compare cotton underwear, seamless underwear and white underwear separately, as the features vary from one set to another.
