A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

MODERATORS
Maybe you could try those "2-in-1" shorts? Instead of a mesh liner they have solid fabric "underwear" sewn into the shorts themselves. Unless these are the ones you're wearing right now.
I also wonder if you bought Patagonia shorts (they only have mesh liners, not full spandex) and then brought them to their repair program (check if you have their store locally). Not sure if they'd replace the liner for you, maybe ask their customer support
Do you have an example of the 2 in 1 shorts? That sounds promising.
No I have mostly Lululemon right now, won't be buying those again. That's a good call with Patagonia though, will look into it.
