Seriously, the most comfortable underwear you can get as a dude. Also, they have this rear seam so your don't get that diaper butt look that most boxer briefs give you. Naturally, you'll want to get the black ones unless you're into semi transparent underwear.

Besides lots of carbon fiber bike parts, I also managed to order the literal best underwear I've ever worn.

I always read on triathlon forums about how sketchy the carbon fiber bike parts might be, but I also spoke with an industry rep who said that the Chinese companies are already making the molds/parts for the "legit" US companies. Therefore, the parts are from the same molds usually. He also mentioned that it's not really in any company's favor to make critical bike parts that fail when being ridden.

The underwear are made from some kind of spandex material, and they also have a nondescript herbal scent.

100% the carbon fiber parts are junk. Just because it's the same molds and possibly the same companies making parts for US sellers doesn't mean they're following the same quality assurance measures for their own stock. It's a known thing that a lot of knockoffs on the chinese retail sites are products from the same production run that didn't pass QA.

Carbon fiber parts aren't just expensive because of material costs they're expensive because they're super labor intensive to manufacture and there are a hundred different critical steps where a part could get junked even if it's 90% of the way there. They could be using expired prepreg or resin, they could not be following the exact curing processes, they could be using material with too many broken fibers, they could be selling you parts that failed because the orientation of the fibers were off from the design... Etc.

Yeah, epacket is the quickest it seems. Not worth paying extra for in my opinion though. But I'm a cheapass, and fairly patient.

If you want really fast, (and live in the US) you can sometimes find products on Ali that ship from the states. I ordered a cheap irulu tablet during thr 7th anniversary sale. With shipping from US I got it in about a week.

What diaper butt? I'm under the impression that boxer briefs are the least worst man-underwear. Based on anecdotal evidence and all the flappy oversized novelty boxers I dealt with in HS/uni.

A critical component will fail when you're doing 65km down hill. You will die. Seriously don't gently caress about with safety critical items.

There are some super cheap power meters on there, but I don't like the idea of a crank failing randomly.

I'm not really sure what this is about either. Actual boxer shorts can do that, but I have never experienced this phenomenon with boxer briefs. Maybe they ones they're referring to have a weird stitching pattern or are too big.

How is the air flow situation? I've delt with a lot of nylon and some of it can get unpleasantly humid, especially in the summer. Please check in if you get mold growing in the back 40.

It's for proper air flow so your cheeks ain't sweating during the hot summer months.

Did you see the thing underwear with an "elephant trunk" sheath in the front?

Also, why does Aliexpress assume the purveyors of these underwear are all gay? Well, after seeing the butt crack cleavage undies I kinda get it now...

I'd read some stuff on "TriRig" about open mold carbon fiber manufacturing, and it made it sound like the Chinese carbon fiber was basically all the same. Oh well, I'm glad my life insurance is paid up : )

I didn't see the power meters. I'll have to look for them.

Let's get clean and smart


Over the past month I've spent about fifty euros or so on make up and skin care from Ali Express, which equates to an awful lot of lipstick and highlighter and snail extract masks. I've got to say, I've been really satisfied with my purchases so far - pretty much everything has been on par with drugstore makeup, and some of it even better, for a loving fraction of the price. Also, my skin hasn't melted off or even broken out. And how can a person resist such a fabulous jar?

Don't make the same mistake I did. Do not let anyone else in your house know the googly eyes are coming. Much better surprise when your housemates wake up to googly eyes on every imaginable object in the house. The toilet brush absolutely needed more personality.
