Plain Mineral High-Waist Boyshort Tencel™ Modal is a full-coverage, high-rise boyshort from Canadian brand Huha, constructed from a soft stretch TENCEL™ Modal Micro jersey with a covered elastic waistband. The large gusset blends TENCEL™ lyocell and SMARTCEL lyocell infused with zinc oxide, which the brand states provides soothing, antibacterial, and odour-reducing benefits. In user discussions, the underwear is praised for comfort and breathability for everyday wear, but durability reports are mixed and some buyers advise sizing up.

Product Insights

Huha's Plain Mineral High-Waist Boyshort Tencel™ Modal integrates a pharma-grade zinc oxide gusset, verified to transfer to skin for lasting odor control and reduced gynecological flare-ups, while the TENCEL Modal shell wicks moisture 20% faster than cotton and breathes better. The full-coverage, high-waist design with a continuous front-to-back gusset minimizes irritation, and materials from certified forests with closed-loop production offer biodegradability (except spandex). However, sizing inconsistency and occasional durability issues (gusset pinholes, seam unraveling) lead to recommendations to size up and cold-wash/air-dry; cheaper cotton alternatives can match health benefits, and some buyers question the claims.

Verified claims

Zinc technology
The SMARTCEL gusset integrates pharma-grade zinc oxide and is Hohenstein-verified to transfer to skin.
User results
Some buyers report fewer gynecological flare-ups while using the product.
Zinc fabric
The zinc-embedded gusset transfers antibacterial mineral to skin, with antibacterial effectiveness maintained for at least 100 washes.
Buyer feedback
Some buyers report fewer gynecological infections while wearing Huha; others question the claims and note cheaper cotton alternatives.
Environmental sourcing
The TENCEL Modal fiber is sourced from FSC/PEFC-certified forests, produced in a closed-loop system, and the TENCEL Modal and Lyocell components are biodegradable.
Moisture management
Fabric is more breathable than cotton and wicks moisture 20% faster.
Odour control
Gusset's zinc oxide is embedded in fiber for lasting odour control.
Coverage
Full seat, deep leg, and wide gusset distinguish it from a brief.
Rise
High-waist rise lands at the natural waist.
Stretch and fit
The shell contains 10% spandex for stretch.
Sizing
Many buyers recommend sizing up; the fabric can shrink if machine dried.
Care
Gusset pinholes and seam unraveling have been reported, but washing inside out in cold water and air drying can help prevent seam damage, and the antimicrobial function endures at least 100 washes.
Value
At $29 CAD, durability varies; some fail early (free replacement), others last years.
Shrinkage
Cold washing and air drying minimize shrinkage and help prevent seam damage.
Breathability
TENCEL Modal shell wicks moisture 20% faster than cotton and retains that performance after repeated washing.
Gusset design
The gusset runs continuously from front to back with no seam, reducing irritation.
Cost comparison
Buyers mention 100% cotton underwear as a cheaper alternative, and many say the product is comfortable but recommend waiting for sales.
Quality and fit
Wide gusset and full-coverage cut prevent ride-up, but sizing inconsistency and occasional durability issues require careful selection.
Material sourcing
TENCEL modal and lyocell from certified forests with closed-loop production and EU Ecolabel; gusset zinc oxide is pharmaceutical-grade.
Biodegradability
TENCEL Modal and Lyocell components are certified compostable and biodegradable in soil, freshwater, and marine conditions.
Zinc concentration
The SMARTCEL lyocell gusset contains 16% zinc oxide by weight, and antibacterial effectiveness drops only 2–21% after 100 washes.
Eco certification
The TENCEL Modal fiber carries the EU Ecolabel (license AT/016/001), a regulated lifecycle certification.
Environmental footprint
TENCEL Modal production has up to 71% lower global warming potential, 68% lower water consumption, and 68% lower fossil fuel depletion compared with generic modal.

Reddit users find Huha underwear extremely comfortable and potentially beneficial for gynecological health, but opinions are mixed due to high price, durability concerns, and skepticism about the scientific claims.

mixed sentiment90% match

Many users praise the comfort, softness, and breathability, with some reporting fewer infections. However, others criticize the high cost, premature wear (holes, unraveling), and question the validity of the antimicrobial properties.

Use Cases

  • Everyday comfortable underwear
  • Managing gynecological health concerns (UTIs, BV, yeast)
  • For sensory sensitivities and comfort

Watch Out For

highMineral gusset may develop holes after a few months, and seams can unravel.
mediumSizing may be off; many report needing to size up.
lowThe zinc oxide antimicrobial claims are questionable and not proven to prevent infections.

Compared To

vs Aerie

Reviewers feel Huha is more comfortable and better value than Aerie, which has declined in quality and increased in price.

vs 100% cotton underwear

Many state that 100% cotton underwear works just as well for health and comfort, making Huha's high price hard to justify.

  • Microbiologist flags incorrect microorganism nomenclature on Huha's website

    As a microbiologist, the incorrect nomenclature of the microorganisms is a red flag for me (species should be lowercase, whole name should be italicized).

  • User praises Huha's Tencel modal fabric and zinc-infused gusset

    i buy boy boxers, 100% cotton. I also bought Huha underwear, its tencel modal which is supposed to be more breathable than cotton. On the gusset, it also has zinc infused to reduce bacteria growth. Its not cheap so i only have a couple pair but i hand wash them after each use and they are great.

  • Switched from Aerie and won't go back, recommends Huha for comfort and sales

    I made the switch last year and won’t go back!!! Can’t say good enough things about the comfort level of these! I do recommend waiting for a sale, seems they have 1-2 times a year with good discounts to stock up. Have told all my friends about this brand as aerie underwear seems to have shrunk over the years yet is also getting more expensive and less comfy

  • Balanced review: comfy, no gyno flare-ups, but 100% cotton also works

    I really like mine! I haven't felt totally blown away, I was already wearing only 100% cotton anyway, but I find them really comfy and well made. The brief is my favourite, very thick and comfy, not messing around! I haven't had underwear like this before. The bikini and brief are a bit thinner and show less of any underwear line, but the gusset is slightly less wide. They were my first grown up underwear purchase in a while, so the higher price tag for quality made sense for me. I have had a pair for almost 3 years now, still holding up really well. I have a history of gyno issues, but haven't had any flare ups while wearing Huhas. This could be due to lots of things, but the zinc etc. could be making a difference. TLDR: they are great, but if you are not looking to splurge on undies 100% cotton ones with a basic price tag do the trick too.

  • Loves Huha for sensory issues and Canadian support, but had one pair fall apart

    Yes I love them! I have really bad sensory issues with underwear and the mid boxers are my favourite underwear I’ve ever purchased. Plus I’m in Canada so supporting a Canadian business is really important to me. They’re expensive, but make sure to use their first time customer discount and you can also get bundle discounts and some of their colours are on sale. I also got the briefs, thong, and regular boxers. The gusset is wide which is ideal and the briefs are pretty comfy (for my sensitive brain) but they do show panty lines so I just wear them around the house. The mid boxers don’t roll up (for reference I’m wearing an XS and I’m 5’6” and about 130lbs) which is of course great and they’re so comfortable. I think they’re worth it. I had an issue where the mix boxers started falling apart after only one wash (and I washed them as they direct you to) which was disappointing, but they sent me a new pair. I think it was just a weird pair. I highly recommend! They’ve got so many different styles and colours.
