Make a Pact

Pact Underpants Launch

They prevent chafing. Support the peen. And provide a necessary barrier between you and the outside world.

But your underpants could be doing more. Pact skivvies promote literacy (826 National), conserve forests (ForestEthics), and protect oceans (Oceana), on top of preventing a Britney/Paris moment.

Guys can choose from trunks, boxers, or boxer briefs; for dolls, there are thongs, bikinis, and boy shorts. And they come in three prints, each representing a charity. But most impressive is the brand’s environmental and social responsibility.

Pact pays fair wages to the farmers who grow the organic cotton in Turkey, uses low-impact dyes, and ships the final product in 100 percent compostable bags.

Talk about a nice package.
