Urban Quest briefs and underpants

Short answer: Urban Quest makes underwear in bamboo viscose for both women and men, and briefs for women are the largest group. The styles are simple, thin and usually sold in several colours of the same cut.

Few styles in many colours

The range is built on repeat styles rather than seasonal items. That makes it easy to buy the same thing again when a pair wears out, without getting used to a new fit. Once you find a style that fits well, you can keep buying it in the colours you use. See the range in Urban Quest.

For women

The briefs cover the most worn everyday shapes, from full coverage to simpler cuts. Choose by what you wear over them: under fitted trousers a smooth edge matters most, while under dresses the shape matters less. See them alongside other brands in bamboo briefs for women.

For men

For men there are boxer shorts and briefs in bamboo viscose. Boxers with a leg give the most coverage and are worn daily by many, while briefs are shorter and sit closer. Choose by what feels best under the trousers you wear most. See them in bamboo underwear for men.

The edges decide comfort

The waistband and leg edges decide whether underwear gets worn or ends up at the back of the drawer. A soft, wide edge leaves no marks after a full day, while a narrow elastic easily digs in. The leg edge should stay in place without squeezing. Read more in underpants that do not ride up.

The size

Bamboo viscose underwear is soft and gives, so it can be tempting to go down a size. But if it is too small, the edges roll and press. If it is too big, it forms folds under trousers. Measure your waist and hips and compare with the measurements on the product page.

Why bamboo viscose

The fabric is soft on the skin, absorbs moisture and feels cool on warm days. That makes it comfortable from morning to evening. It is also thin, so it does not show under clothes. In return, it needs slightly gentler washing than cotton if it is to keep its shape.

Washing

Wash at 40 degrees without fabric softener and without the tumble dryer. Heat wears the elastic fastest, and softener builds up in the fibres so they absorb moisture less well. Hang the underwear to dry and the edges keep their shape longer. The full method is in the washing guide.

How many you need

If you wash once a week, you need at least seven pairs, ideally a few more so you do not run out if laundry day slips. With more pairs in rotation, each pair is worn less often and the elastic gets time to rest between wears.

When to replace

When the edges start to ripple or the fabric gets thin at the crotch, it is time for new ones. Because the styles repeat, you can replace worn pairs with exactly the same cut and keep the rest of the drawer as it is.
