Our story
There’s an expert
behind the box.
Meet Michael Kleinmann.
A lifetime of good taste, put to good use.

The person behind the picks
He’s done his homework.
And then some.
Michael has spent more than two decades working in underwear. He led Freshpair, created National Underwear Day and started Underwear Expert as a place to discover brands and get to know what makes a great pair.
That experience became a way to help people find their fit, explore new styles and discover favorites they might never have picked themselves.

From the beginning.
Underwear Expert is LGBTQIA+ owned and operated. The people it serves, the models and creatives it works with, and the community organizations it supports are part of that story.
Here’s one moment from it: a 2016 holiday underwear donation to the Los Angeles LGBT Center.
