What is the best underwear to wear for exercise?
>New year, new you? Or not...
With the start of a new year, many take the time to self-reflect, focusing on their happiness and health and striking up new goals for the year ahead. One factor may be their physical wellbeing, and committing to becoming a healthier and stronger version of themselves. Others decide to carry on as they are, which of course is totally fine too!
Ready, set, workout!
>You may be a complete novice when it comes to exercise, or already a pro looking to improve your experience in the gym. Either way, let me tell you - it all starts with a pair of briefs. Now it may not seem like the two would have any correlation, right? We hear you, but we’re here to tell you that it in fact, does. Choosing the right fabric and brand of underwear for your workouts is imperative for a number of reasons, but we’ll get into those later. After all, the last thing you want is ill-fitting, synthetic undies giving you major Hungry Bum on the treadmill. Sometimes, it really is substance over style. But it doesn’t have to be…
Enter, Stripe & Stare.
All Stripe & Stare briefs are made from 95% TENCEL™ Modal x Micro fibres. These fibres naturally manage the transportation of moisture, enhancing fabrics by keeping your skin feeling pleasantly comfortable. Not only this, the fabrics with TENCEL™ Modal x Micro fibres were perceived as more pleasant in frictional strain tests on human skin than cotton and polyester fabrics. They also displayed a far lower frictional coefficient under humid conditions, making TENCEL™ Modal most recommendable for textiles worn next to the skin. Pretty interesting, huh. You may be thinking, “But I wear cotton breifs when I exercise and they are supposed to be breathable!” but listen to this…
That's where our anti-microbial briefs come in handy.
Our briefs are anti-microbial and moisture wicking, so you can make your work out worry free by staying dry and cool *downstairs*. Not only this, measurements and hand evaluations of softness show that TENCEL™ Modal fibres feel twice as soft as cotton. The softness lasts longer and is able to withstand repeated wash and dry cycles compared to cotton. What’s not to love, ultimate softness and protected intimate hygiene - this is a game changer for your workouts.
Briefs that stay put, so you don't have to.
>There’s a shape, colour and print for everyone. We want you to head into the gym feeling empowered and ready to conquer whatever your session throws at you. We may be biased, but we believe it all starts the moment you put on your pants. Picture this, you pop on your favourite cloud-soft briefs in hot pink (because you love dopamine dressing!), you add your work out ensemble and VIOLA! Minimised VPL, no riding up and ultimate comfort all session long! You can look good, and feel good doing it. Our briefs are kind to you and the planet. Choose from our original brief shape, high rise, hipsters, brazilians, and thongs (even a high waisted version!)
