MeUndies Case Study: How a Subscription Underwear Brand Built Loyalty and Profits
When MeUndies launched in 2011, they set out to disrupt one of the most boring essentials in our drawers: underwear. But their approach was anything but dull.
Founded by Jonathan Shokrian, MeUndies started as a subscription-based DTC brand with a mission to make super-soft, sustainably made underwear, and to turn the most routine purchase into a feel-good moment. By 2017, they had shipped over 10 million pairs and steadily grew a loyal following with bold prints, inclusive sizing, and community-first marketing.
How They Built an Audience
  • Subscription model: Predictable revenue + customer retention built in.
  • Bold, playful branding: Campaigns embraced comfort, body positivity, and self-expression.
  • Relatable UGC: Customers regularly post themselves in MeUndies, normalizing real bodies and boosting trust.
  • Strong email flows & retention strategy: Personalization + subscription incentives made them masters at LTV.
Lessons for DTC Owners
  1. LTV is everything. A strong post-purchase journey is key to long-term profit.
  2. Own your tone. Humor, voice, and authenticity helped MeUndies stand out.
  3. Community is the campaign. Let your users be the faces of your ads.
  4. Reduce decision fatigue. With easy bundles and memberships.
Why Their Marketing Works
  • Emotional triggers (comfort, self-love, inclusion)
  • Creator-first and customer-led content
  • Recurring model. It's a product people need regularly
How would your brand change if you had a subscription model? Would it improve your retention and ad ROI?
