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:

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

Reccomendations for Purchasing Undergarments? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Underwear is one of the things that I struggle to use second-hand, and I'm not sure if I intend to change that (lest some nowaste people teach me mystical ways and methods :P) But the fact is that I can only use what I've got currently for so long, and so I turn to you.

I am not looking for specific reccomendations exclusively, and the type of underwear (underpants, brasseries, undershirts) are all welcome for discussion! But I'm hoping to find advice which will help me find something that will last, and to a decent standard (i.e, don't use polyester socks, due to smell).

So please lend your advice for finding Bras, Briefs, Bobbysocks, and Bundershirts!

EDIT: Also advice on what materials are better suited to different climates is also well appreciated! (I tend to leave my posts personal detail agnostic so they can serve as resources for others :))

So, given other comments, rather than BIFL, are you looking for good quality, long lasting undergarments? Based on the bras part, mainly women's undergarments?

The subreddit (sorry for directing to that site) ABraThatFits improved my life considerably. In addition to guides on measurements and sizes and shapes, there are tons of recommendations to suit the different measurements. The people responsible did an excellent job of data collection, and I hope the info remains available so others can benefit.

we need to work on moving communities over so people don't have to use reddit anymore

pretty much. I knew this wasn't exactly the right community (give reccs if u can), but I'm hoping theres enough overlap for good reccomendations :)

also feel free to talk about any genders garments irregardless of my own criteria, it could help others in the future!

(Psst, heads up, it's one of my favorite fake words because of the G. W. Bush fiasco, but "irregardles" isn't a word, you're looking for "regardless." Not trying to be a dick just trying to help!)

Can't help on the suggestions, I'm here for some myself! Wish I could though!
