The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

I think I asked this question here a couple of years ago, but at the time I didn't act on the information I received and I can't find the thread now.
I'm looking for good loungewear/use-at-home pants (for men) without synthetics/microplastics. They need to be comfy. And the price should match the quality/longevity of the item. If the price is high, fine, but I want value for money. Bonus points if it doesn't make you look like a huge slob if you wear them for a quick trip to the nearest store.
Lucky makes some 100% cotton jeans. I forget which series I have, but they are soft enough to be comfortable around the house (but not as soft as premium jeans with some elastane, which you wish to avoid) and tough enough to be more durable and long-lasting than premium jeans (but not tough enough to survive a bunch of hard outdoors work). They certainly look good enough to make trips to stores or dinner.

I think I answered this question before. Both of these are good quality, made in USA, I've owned the products for a while with no issues.
Los Angeles Apparel makes a lot of good stuff. These are my preferred casual pants. They get stretch from the weave rather than from spandex. They also make good thick sweatpants, if anything they are too thick to be comfortable in some cases.
Alternatively, American Giant makes superlatively good, if comparatively overpriced sweatpants.
