National Underwear Day 2008

In the past, Freshpair invaded New York City with fashion shows, underwear-clad models, and New York City underwear giveaways. Last year, the fashion show was a celebrity-studded renegade sidewalk show.

The the seventh year, the National Underwear Day celebrations are a little different. They have moved online so all of us can join in the fun (not only the lucky lingerie lovers in NYC)! There will be underwear contests, huge sales, and giveaways sponsored by 2(x)ist, Calvin Klein Underwear, Diesel, Wacoal, and Natori all throughout the month of August. Over twenty brands will participate in exclusive events in celebration of the day.

Michael Kleinmann, president of Freshpair, said,

“We realized that we were not being true to our loyal and growing customer base by just having a New York City presence. Our world is the internet and therefore we felt that we had to make National Underwear Day a National event by taking it online.”

We’ll keep you updated on the National Underwear Day celebrations!

Cheapundies.com is chock full of high-quality brands you can find at Freshpair.com, but at heavy discounts. And don’t worry – these aren’t seconds. The inventory at Cheapundies.com is all brand name, first-quality overstock and closeout goods. Basically, it’s pieces that they could charge you a whole lot more for. But they don’t.

When I first took a look at this new site, I was immediately struck by how fun it is. I mean, the logo is a pig in underwear! And the “About Us” page said,

“What you find at cheapundies.com will blow your mind. It’s the kind of stuff that can make you believe in unicorns.”

I took that as a challenge! Everyone wants to get the most for their money – so I wondered, how much could I get? I set out with a budget of $75 to see what I could find.

First up, I found a Mary Green Silk Knit with Lace Chemise. It is 100% silk edged with scalloped lace at the neckline and hem. It’s slinky, black, and absolutely boyfriend approved I found it for $25, which is half off the $50 retail price. $25 for a silk chemise? That’s a total bargain.

I’ve been curious about Nancy Ganz after hearing some good things about the brand, but I hadn’t had the chance to try any of their pieces yet. I found the Nancy Ganz Body Hip Slip, which is a half-slip with firm, smooth shaping power. I picked it up for only $15, which is 50% off! And because it’s tight, it’s a bit sexy even though it’s technically shapewear.

I have been looking for the Ginch Gonch Crotch Rocket Long Johns for a couple years now. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I found one for 40% off. In my size. I had to have it! Okay, it’s not technically sexy lingerie. But it is underwear, and it is definitely something cute to wear curled up in front of a cabin fireplace or on the couch to watch a movie. Sadly, if you like these you’ll have to keep looking. They have already sold out. But there are still plenty of men’s Ginch Gonch items available on Cheapundies.com at a steep discount.

DT Underwear is a brand I’ve never been able to try out before. But I needed some new plain panties that I could wear to the gym, and when I saw the DT Underwear Lemon Meringue Basic Brief for only $6.19 (75% off the $24.75 list price!), I quickly added that to my cart as well. One word of warning – if anyone is looking to buy this same style, I’d advise sizing up. I ordered my normal size but I think I would need them in size larger (or even two sizes).

There were still a few dollars left in my budget, which I used to get a Le Mystere Ultra Soft Boyleg Brief in a sweet pink color. These tied with my DT briefs for the largest discount – with the 75% discount, I picked these up for only $5 instead of the usual $20. These are great and I would have stocked up if I didn’t have a budget set out ahead of time. I’ll probably make another order very soon and buy as many as I can!

I made out like a bandit at Cheapundies.com. With only $75 I got a package full of Mary Green, Nancy Ganz, Ginch Gonch, DT, and Le Mystere! My largest discount was 75% off and my lowest was still a pretty hefty 40%. There was plenty of information available on every page to help me evaluate my choices before I purchased like fabric information, crucial measurements, and multiple views.

Browsing the site, it looks like the selection has gotten even larger and more varied in the short time since I placed my order, and I would bet that they are adding more every day. I know that the inventory on a discount site is likely to grow and change rapidly, so I’ll have to keep my eye on this site! With bras as low as $8, panties as low as $4.50 and sleepwear as low as $7.75 (and these are on good brands), I can’t afford not to shop at Cheapundies!

When I put the bra on, I noticed right away that it is very comfortable – there are no itchy seams or pinchy bits. There are tags on the band, but they are long and silky, so I didn’t even don’t even notice them. I actually was thinking that the bra was tagless until I specifically checked! I was very pleasantly surprised to see that that the Bendon Sport bra gave a very natural and seamless silhouette. It shaped my chest more like an everyday T-shirt bra than than a lumpy, unattractive sports bra. I know that the gym isn’t a fashion runway, but it was still nice to know that my assets looked their best! I went to the gym with my boyfriend that day, and even he commented on the difference and improvement my new bra made in my appearance. The fabric was light and quite breathable, so I was comfortable throughout my workout. Another happy surprise was when I found that the straps are convertible, so I had the option to wear them normally or to crisscross them – perfect for wearing underneath racerback workout tanks! It actually wouldn’t be so bad if the straps were to poke out a bit, however, as they are relatively slim (compared to some other fuller-figure sports bras) even though they were comfortably cushioned.

The only disappointing thing about the bra is that it doesn’t come in my size. I wear a 30 band, but Bendon Sport’s size range begins at 32. I was optimistic when the bra came in a size 32, and wore it on the tightest hooks. But the Extreme Out bra seems to run true to size, and was just too big for me. I was comfortable in my yoga and Pilates classes, but an incorrect bra size is very apparent when you want to run on the treadmill! You guys know that I’m very particular about wearing well-fitting bras, so I will sadly have to retire mine. Don’t let that deter you, though – if you are within the size range of the Bendon Sport bras, I think they will work wonderfully for you. The sports bra is very high-quality, and has a sturdy three-row, three-column band to anchor firmly to you. I was also glad to see that the cups had comfortable foam-covered underwires for extra support, and busty ladies know how critical support is!

To get your own, you should act fast! Between now and Tuesday, February 24, Freshpair is offering 10% off all Bendon Sport items. Use the coupon code FPBENDON at the checkout.
