Hi guys!
I want to have branded underwear, but I don't think my parents would like to buy it (they say it's too expensive for underwear)... So, what do you are your suggestions? They are buying in range 10-15€ (around 9-14$)...
Thanks for help

Just tell them you prefer that brand because it's more comfortable.
Unless they are really stingy I don't see why they would say no.

I understand what you mean. My parents are somewhat...cheap. Just try to get them to understand that, like Zach said, the brand you prefer are more comfortable, than cheap brands such as Fruit Of The Loom. (I hate that brand..)
Try to talk with the parent who is more likely to spend a little bit more.
If I [-]need[/-] want something expensive...ill ask mom. Dad? Nah!

talk to them it supports you better
if not, you may just need to buy your own underwear

Well I' a bit shy and I'm bit scared what they'll say about it.. and I don't have so much money to buy underwear, I spend it for some personal and more expensive things (like computer, guitars,.. something what I'm obsessed about)

well if your parents refuse to buy it for you then you are going to have to buy it on your own

Why not ask it as a Christmas gift or birthday present?

Forget all the honesty... I have the same problem with my parents so I have a little sneaky plan that usually works for me and that you can try!
What I do is I casually bring them into a store with me, take them around a few times so they start to get desperate to leave, then I go to the thing I want to get and ask them if they'll buy it for me, since they're desperate to leave, they'll usually buy it to get out of there. If they say refuse, then I repeat everything again and again until I get what I want. Kind of lowbrow but oh well...
I'm not sure if it'll work with your parents if you choose to try this but it works for mine, I hope this helps!

I guess if I were your parent I would ask why wearing a certain brand of underwear is so
important to you. Is one brand better than another, or are you just trying to impress others?
If the brand you want to wear is expensive, what are you willing to give up to offset the
extra cost?

Does it matter? It's some vaguely human shaped material that'll be pressed against your dick, balls and ass, why is it important that it's branded?
Also, be thank full you have underwear at all, if you want expensive stuff, don't expect your parents to buy it for you, save up and buy it yourself. Like every other motherfucker on earth

to be fair, you do get what you paid for. I do pay more for my underwear, but it has last longer than some of the cheap hanes or fruit of the loom stuff (not all of those are cheap, but some are poorly made) and do not feel as good . plus, some of the more expensive ones are made to look and fit better. and when you are going to be having sex regularly, it is nice to be wearing nice underwear

I have a plan, I think it's good, could you give your opinions?
When I'll go shopping with mum, I'll ask her, to give me money and I'll buy me things I like and need. I need underwear also. And it'll be a solution of another problem (it drives me mad and I get bored when I must go with her shopping in her favorite shops... so maybe it'll work.

I think I'm going tommorow to outlet, where is also CK underwear, so I'll try my plan or ask mum, if we can go to that store. If she asks me why, I'll say, that I need new underwear. And if she saids, it's too expensive, I'll say, that last time we went shopping for underwear we gave 15 € for me on one boxer briefs.

well thinking ahead though is smart :). in fact, that would be a perfect time to convince them since they are already on sale

I know this is a month old thread but I recently bought branded underwear (American Eagle). I bought it with my own money thst a saved up, which is what I suggest, but I convinced my mom that it was more comfortable which truly is the case. I can spend my money freely but sometimes in a situation like buying underwear that usually retails at $12.50, my mom usually has to approve the purchase to make sure I'm not wasting my money. And I only buy it when it's on sale. I really suggest just saving your money and buy it yourself. The way I bought my underwear was I bought three on sale to "try them out" and then I said I loved them (which isn't a lie, they're the best underwear ever) and said I wanted to buy more and used my money to buy more. Hope all goes well

no, not this.
have you read what many of us have been posting? some of the more expensive brands are made out of a lot better material, it can feel better, fit better, look better, and often times last longer.

You're talking to the guy who get's 90% of his things from the thrift store. I just buy the regular white Fruit of the Loom stuff, and it suits my needs just fine.

hey, I am not tearing you down or making fun of you for not being able to afford more. but if you do not know the difference than don't tell me there is no difference when I do know there is indeed a difference

Honestly, I don't care about the difference, I'm just all about being frugal. Also, I can afford more, I just choose not to do so.

I use my paper round and get my own clothes. (I do get some money put in by my parents every week too)
I bought some Jack Jones boxers, however because I was christmas shopping and it was the last thing my card was declined! Had to use cash instead, oh the horror.
