From Chafe to Champ: The Rise of Step-One Undies and Why Everyone’s Jumping on Board
Are you tired of chafing ruining your day? Fear not, for Step One Undies has become the knight in shining armour for your downstairs department. Created by Aussie entrepreneur Greg Taylor, these undies have become a cult favourite across Australia, the UK, and the US, with one pair sold every 8 seconds. After experiencing unbearable chafing while hiking in New Zealand, Taylor went on a quest for a solution but was disappointed to find none. So, he decided to take matters into his own hands (and pants) and create the ultimate boxer briefs made from UltraGlyde material to prevent irritation and certified organic bamboo to keep your nether regions dry and fresh.
Not only are these undies top-notch, but Taylor’s commitment to ethical production and sustainability is impressive. Step One works only with factories that do not use child labor and provide fair wages and working conditions, and they use 100% organically grown and FSC certified bamboo to make their fabrics. Plus, their packaging is 100% certified home compostable. Taylor’s dedication to both product and ethical production has allowed Step One to take over 6% of the Australian men’s underwear market share in just four years. With Step One, you’ll never have to worry about chafing again, and you’ll be supporting a company that cares about people and the planet.
