A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!

Guidelines:

Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!

Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.

Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.

A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:

  1. The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
  2. If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
  3. The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
  4. You cannot be a large corporation.
  5. The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

Dunno. U wear for coverage, or for support? If the former, they can last decades. If the latter, prolly 2-4 years.

Avoid fabrics with elastics. Make sure they fit naturally, and they will support you for decades if its good material.

I like Mac Weldon boxer briefs due to their comfort, which makes them worth the extra bread to me. They do seem to last a long time, but as with any garment containing elastic, they probably won't last for life.

Can't comment on the Mac Weldon boxers. I've never tried them.
