ON THAT ASS vs GUNDERWEAR: which underwear subscription suits you?

ON THAT ASS and the GUNDERWEAR Surprise Underwear Subscription are both monthly underwear subscriptions, but the concepts are quite different. ON THAT ASS focuses on an affordable subscription for boxers from its own brand. At GUNDERWEAR, I select underwear from different premium brands every month, and you choose in advance which styles you want to be able to receive.

Neither option is automatically better than the other. If you mainly want an affordable monthly boxer, ON THAT ASS has clear advantages. If you prefer different brands, several types of underwear and a size that is determined per brand, the GUNDERWEAR concept is structured differently.

The main difference at a glance

How does ON THAT ASS work?

With ON THAT ASS, you receive a boxer from the ON THAT ASS brand every month. For men, the available ranges include Originals with prints and One with plain designs. You receive the first boxer free as part of the subscription.

After receiving that first boxer, a 14-day cooling-off period starts. If you cancel within that period, ON THAT ASS states that you pay nothing for the subscription. If you remain a member, the boxer subscription costs €12.99 per month.

ON THAT ASS also mentions free shipping and €10 in shop credit per month for active members. Current terms and promotions can change, so always check what is stated on the official website at the time you sign up.

What are the strengths of ON THAT ASS?

A clearly lower monthly price

At €12.99 per month, ON THAT ASS is considerably cheaper than the GUNDERWEAR subscription. If you mainly want a new boxer every month and have little need for different brands or other styles, that is an important advantage.

You can try the first boxer for free

The free first boxer lowers the threshold for trying the product. After receiving it, you have a 14-day cooling-off period in which you can end the subscription without paying a monthly fee.

A simple concept

You know quite clearly what you will receive: a boxer every month within your chosen ON THAT ASS range. For someone who does not want lots of choices, that simplicity can be appealing.

Shop credit and adjustable frequency

ON THAT ASS states that active members receive monthly shop credit. According to the current information, the delivery frequency can also be adjusted through your account, for example to once every two months.

What should you keep in mind with ON THAT ASS?

The free boxer is part of a subscription

The first boxer is free, but you are also signing up for a subscription. If you do not want to continue after trying it, you need to cancel it yourself within the cooling-off period.

After the cooling-off period, a one-month notice period applies

According to ON THAT ASS, you can cancel at any time, but after the trial period a one-month notice period applies. The confirmation then states the final payment and delivery.

Pausing is not immediate

ON THAT ASS allows a subscription to be paused for up to three months. According to its own terms, a one-month processing period applies, which means that at least one more payment and one more delivery will follow after requesting a pause.

Customer service also states that you first need to reactivate a paused subscription if you want to cancel it during the pause. The notice period then applies again. This is something to keep in mind if flexibility is important to you.

How does the GUNDERWEAR Surprise Underwear Subscription work?

The GUNDERWEAR Surprise Underwear Subscription is not based on a single own-brand boxer. Every month, I select underwear from the range of different specialist brands.

You decide in advance which type of underwear suits you. You can choose from:

• jockstraps;
• briefs;
• boxer trunks;
• jockstraps or briefs;
• jockstraps or boxer trunks;
• briefs or boxer trunks;
• or a combination of all three.

The brand, colour and design remain the surprise.

At GUNDERWEAR, the size is determined per brand

A size M from one brand does not necessarily fit the same as a size M from another. That is why, with the GUNDERWEAR subscription, you do not choose a fixed letter size but provide your waist measurement between 71 and 100 cm.

For every selection, I then look at the size chart of the relevant brand and choose the corresponding brand size. This is especially relevant because the subscription specifically includes different brands.

How much does the GUNDERWEAR subscription cost?

Depending on your selected style profile, the price is between €24.99 and €28.99 per month. Shipping is included.

That is clearly more expensive than ON THAT ASS. The difference mainly lies in the type of product: I purchase underwear from different premium brands and select a suitable item each month, rather than sending a boxer from one own-brand product line every month.

Why choose GUNDERWEAR?

You want to discover different brands

The brand is not fixed in advance. As a result, the pouch, fabric, waistband and overall look can vary with every delivery.

You prefer something other than only boxers

If you mainly wear jockstraps or briefs, or want to alternate between different styles, the GUNDERWEAR subscription is better suited to that.

You want the size to be checked per brand

By using your waist measurement as the starting point, you do not have to decide yourself whether you need, for example, M, L or XL with every new brand.

You want to be able to skip or pause a subscription

The GUNDERWEAR subscription can be skipped, paused or cancelled. There is no free trial boxer that subsequently turns into a paid subscription.

When is ON THAT ASS probably the better choice?

ON THAT ASS is probably the more logical choice if you:

• mainly care about keeping monthly costs as low as possible;
• want a boxer every month;
• are happy with one brand;
• want to be able to try a free first boxer;
• value the monthly shop credit.

When is GUNDERWEAR probably the better choice?

The GUNDERWEAR Surprise Underwear Subscription is probably a better fit if you:

• want to discover different premium brands;
• want to receive jockstraps, briefs or boxer trunks;
• want a suitable size to be determined per brand;
• want more variety in pouch, material and design;
• like me to make the selection based on your style preference.
