My search for the most comfortable pair of underwear...

FABRIC QUALITY + DETAILS

The fabric itself is really, really nice. I definitely preferred the underwear made with modal. The mesh pair is nice and lightweight, but it’s just not my jam for everyday wear.

What is being judged:

Grade: B-

I had high hopes for the construction of the underwear from Cuup and was a bit disappointed. Not only did the underwear arrive with loose threads, the stitching on the highwaist style became loose after just one washing!

MANUFACTURING QUALITY

Grade: C-

What is being judged:

I understand that their whole M.O. is innovative fabrics. However, it's very possible to create innovative fabrics while also being sustainable and paying a fair living wage to those making the product.

ETHICAL PRACTICES & SUSTAINABILITY

Grade: D

What is being judged:

When it comes to inclusivity, I’m a bit confused. Their social channels show more of a range of skintones and sizes, but the product pages don’t.

INCLUSIVITY

Grade: C-

What is being judged:

As I mentioned before, my very first washing loosed some seams which is shocking especially given that this is an $18 pair of underwear.

WASHABILITY

Grade: C

What is being judged:

Sigh… I HAD SUCH HIGH HOPES… and then hated the fit of every single pair that I ordered. I wanted to return them, but they are not returnable.

FIT & COMFORT

Grade: F

What is being judged:

Final Thoughts

My advice? Save your money and buy something else from the other brands I recommend… I do love the handfeel of their fabrics and how soft they are. But at the end of the day, there is wayyy better that is also more affordable, more sustainably made, and more inclusive. Read the full review on Jojotastic.com
