The proverbial ink had barely dried on our story about Manpacks when one of our spotters alerted us to an equivalent for women: Panty by Post, a Canadian venture that offers—sure enough—women’s underwear by monthly subscription.

Where Manpacks focuses on the practical and functional, however, Panty by Post has quite different aspirations. No basic whites here—rather, the company has an exclusive agreement with Montreal’s Blush Lingerie for its signature and bridal lines. Panties come in hipster, thong and bikini styles and are made with French lace and satin. Customers can order panties individually, or they can sign up for subscriptions lasting two, three, six or 12 months. A different panty is then sent every month, each wrapped in an attractive mailing package. Pricing ranges from CDN 16 for a single pair to CDN 240 for a year’s worth of premium deliveries. Panty by Post is also about to launch a men’s subscription service featuring Montreal-based JM Intimode’s eco-minded “Briefs in a Box.”

Part convenience and part indulgence, Panty by Post reminds us of ShoeDazzle’s monthly subscriptions to a handpicked series of stylish shoes. Where else might fashion-minded consumers be interested in a little curated selection and recurring delivery?

Thanks for all of the votes on our last poll, it looks like the majority of TGAAD Dieters are redistributing funds they used to spend on clothing to their (now growing) savings accounts! Coming in second to savings accounts was paying off credit cards (17votes) it’s awesome to see that the diet is positively affecting your bank accounts!

And now I’d like to address a topic of importance to the women of TGAAD…that topic is bras. before and after bra fittingNow, a majority of members are women and we know that it’s a challenge in itself to not purchase clothing, and make outfits work that haven’t been worn in years. So as you struggle with wearing old sweaters and layering all of the items which you do already own, take a moment to think about the items that are going on underneath all of that winter layering. An ill fitting bra can make an old top look more worn than what it actually is, so remember new bras are allowed (thank goodness!) and wearing a properly fitting one can make an old shirt look a lot newer than it is! One of our old dieters and a good friend to us at The Great American Apparel Diet, Rebecca Kotch, is doing some research on where we buy the undergarments we put on before we get dressed for the day or go out for the night. We love hearing your responses to all of the polls and are really excited for this new poll.   Rebecca is hoping you can give some insight into how you purchase your often neglected (in our posts) but essential wardrobe items! We do have one question from the poll up on our site, but if you could vote through the link below, the information would be greatly appreciated! http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/6VB8JGX

Change Your Underwear!

Change Your Underwear!

A new favorite thing (and legal TGAAD purchase): PACT underwear. A “Hanky Panky” die hard, I’m pretty picky in this department, but PACT’s functional fashion and eco-friendly manufacturing has won me over.

PACT’s motto: CHANGE STARTS WITH YOUR UNDERWEAR. Not only are PACT panties incredibly comfy (and VERY sexy, especially those men’s boxer briefs), they’re made from organic cotton, sustainably manufactured and 10% of every purchase goes to a non-profit.

Started by ecopreneurs Jason Kibbey and Jeff Denby, designed by Yves Behar and based in Berkeley, CA, PACT has created a beautiful line with an impressive supply chain that supports organic cotton farmers, promotes responsible labor practices and makes positive change (from your body to the world’s).

All good from the inside out!

I love  the Panties in a Post. Unfortunately for me, as I enter the fourth month of the Apparal Diet and my own NoclothesNoshoes(NCNS) challenge , underwear is out of scope for me. In the excitement of actually making a decision for once in my life,  I declared that for the next 12 months, I have to make do with my existing wardrobe, including underwear.  Now I have alot of underwear so I thought it wouldn’t be a problem. I note however,  that  for some of my undies little holes are developing  where my thumbs and index fingers grip the sides as I take them on and off. My underwear has never got to this stage before – always replaced at the slightest hint of stretching -so I’m getting a bit nervous. I’m going to have to be a little less heavy handed in my approach to dressing. If I find that they  have all disintegrated before my self  imposed embargo has lifted,  I may well have to treat myself to the undies by mail idea. It is so decadent!
