JBS or Lindbergh for underpants
Short answer: Both brands offer underpants in bamboo viscose for everyday wear. JBS has the largest choice of models in our shop, while Lindbergh has a smaller series alongside the brand's socks that sticks to the basics.
The range
Underpants are the largest group at JBS, with many styles and colours. Lindbergh has a smaller series focused on basics, which suits anyone who wants simple models without too many options. Both are made for daily wear under ordinary clothes.
Style and leg length
Both cover the most popular styles, from short models to boxers with a longer leg. A longer leg stays in place better when you walk a lot, while a short leg feels freer. To compare leg lengths, see the models in bamboo underpants for men.
Waistband
The waistband is the first thing to go slack. A wide, soft band lasts longest without squeezing and does not roll down when you sit. A narrow elastic can fit well at first but gives way sooner. Read about the signs of wear in when should underpants be replaced.
Why bamboo viscose
Bamboo viscose is soft against the skin and absorbs moisture, so underpants do not feel clammy as quickly as cotton. You notice this most on long days, on the bike and in summer. The fabric has a slight stretch that follows the body without squeezing.
Together with the rest
Both brands also have undershirts if you want a matching set in the same quality. A thin undershirt under your shirt absorbs sweat and keeps the shirt neater through the day. See everything in bamboo underwear for men.
Size
Measure around the waist where the underpants will sit and follow the size guide. Between two sizes, the smaller one stays in place better, while the larger one feels freer. Buy one pair first and the rest once you know the size is right.
Washing
Wash both brands at 40 degrees without fabric softener and without the tumble dryer. Heat wears out elastic fastest, and fabric softener makes the fabric less absorbent. Hang the underpants up or lay them flat. More advice in the washing guide.
How many pairs you need
Ten to fourteen pairs let you wash weekly without running out. If you buy several identical pairs, the whole drawer can be replaced together when the elastic goes slack. That is both cheaper and easier than topping up one pair at a time.
Colours
Black, grey and navy show less wear and can be washed together without bleeding. If you choose the same colour for every pair, the drawer looks uniform and you avoid sorting. Light colours should be washed separately so they do not turn grey over time.
How to choose
If you want the most styles and colours to choose from, JBS is the easiest place to start. If you want a simple basic series and perhaps socks from the same brand, Lindbergh suits you well. Choose by style and waistband first, then by brand.
Frequently asked questions
Which brand has the most models?
JBS has the largest selection of underpants in our shop, with many styles and colours. Lindbergh has a smaller series focused on simple basic models.
When should underpants be replaced?
When the waistband has gone slack and no longer stays in place, or when the fabric has worn thin. It happens gradually, so look out for the signs early.
Can I use the tumble dryer?
We advise against it. The heat wears out the elastic in the waistband faster than anything else, so underpants last longest when they air dry after a wash at 40 degrees.
