CheapUndies Purple Mesh Bikini Brief – Review

Today, I was sent a pair of the Purple Mesh Bikini Brief from CheapUndies. I had not heard of this brand before, so I decided to do some research before trying them on. They began as an overstock company in Richmond, VA, providing out-of-season and undersold underwear. Slowly, they developed their own brand of underwear–all while continuing to keep prices low. Their motto is “We Cover Your Butt For Less”, and I can confirm that they do have some very competitive prices. But, will “cheap” come at the cost of “quality”?

The Mesh Bikini Brief is a style within their in-house brand, and part of a larger line of colors (including yellow, neon green, grey, and over ten other options). This brief is 90% polyamide and 10% elastane, and has a mesh design. The material felt sturdy, and the stitching did not appear to be loose in any spots. I was sent the Purple brief in size Large. I typically wear a size Medium, and was concerned that these might be a bit loose on me. Thankfully, the waistband stayed in place all day, and the pouch and seat of the brief were roomy without being too saggy.

I started my day by incorporating these purple briefs into my work outfit, pairing them with a periwinkle button-up, green chinos, and some patterned socks (with a hint of orange to complete the triad color scheme). These briefs held up well at the office. Whether I was sitting at my desk, taking the stairs, or running errands, I never had any issue with anything sitting uncomfortably, riding up, or falling down.

Because these were mesh, I immediately thought of workout clothes and began wondering if I could take these briefs from the office to the gym. Some previous mesh experiences left me disappointed, but I was pleased with how these managed to breathe. By the time I had disrobed and put my work clothes back on, these already felt mostly dry to the touch. Additionally, as I squatted and lunged, I never had any pinching or unexpected wedgies.

The design does have a couple of drawbacks, It is marketed as having a see-through design, but I tried unsuccessfully to get that effect in multiple different levels of light. Additionally, if you are a guy who happens to produce a lot of pre-cum, these briefs may not be right for you, as the mesh will allow fluid to seep through.

The Undies 101 official rating system is as follows:

• Flirting Material:  It fits okay, great to wear out for a short amount of time.
• Hook Up Material:  The fit is much better, sits well and wears well but might not be comfortable for all day wear.
• Dating Material:  The fit is great, sits well, accentuates the positives and wears really well – suitable for all day wear.
• Match Made in Heaven:  You love the fit, you love the style, best undies you’ve worn in  years and will be a part of your regular wear.

I would definitely rank a pair of these as Dating Material, as I don’t have too many cons. I wish I would have gotten a pair in my actual size to confirm if I would add these into my regular rotation, but even sizing-up was still a pleasant experience in these.
