Coming up on Digit.

It's sort of been sort of fair game to bully Brooklyn Beckham. For years, everyone's done it. He's just a child. He's obviously very fragile, really fragile, understandably for all the reasons that you've just said. Do you know what? I think I'd bumped into Jude Law maybe three times in various kind of shops or supermarkets. And every single time I walk up to him and I go, I name my son after you. And every time he's like, did you?

0:24.5

Oh, wow. times in various kind of shops or supermarkets and every single time I walk up to him and I go,

0:26.2

I name my son after you. And every time he's like, did you? Oh wow. One of the ladies got the shouted out, she went, there's some first aiders in here. Would you like me to go and get

0:29.4

the first aiders for him? All of that right after this.

Can I say, Joe, I think comfort has become my number one priority with clothes now, especially underwear.

0:51.8

Hell yeah.

0:52.8

I mean, life is simply too short to be uncomfortable.

0:56.2

There are items in my wardrobe. I think maybe there's one thong and maybe there's a couple of

1:01.4

crop tops like brawlets, which I really like, that are quite tight because I like to be compressed

1:05.5

if I've got a t-shirt on. But on the days when I don't need to wear those, I just want to hang

1:09.8

loose and I want to have a really nice soft fabric. And that is my ultimate dream bit of underwear. That's why I love stripe and stare so much. Their knickers are unbelievably comfortable. They're soft, they're breathable, really kind to your skin. Yeah, they're made from natural fibres. There are no nasty chemicals. And I think you really notice the difference straight away. And I love that they don't just stop at knickers. Their brawlets are brilliant, no underwire, no digging in. And their sleepwear is so comfy, you won't want to take it off in the morning. Honestly, once you start wearing them, they just slowly take over your drawer. They do. And they do them in lovely colours. It feels like one of

1:44.2

those small upgrades that makes a huge difference to your day. Yeah, and also, Stripe and Stair

1:49.1

are a female-led B-corp, which is something I really love supporting. If you want to try them,

This episode of Digit is sponsored by Sofology. So what makes a good sofa for you?

2:11.8

Oh, good sofa. It's got to be massive. There's a load of us. And it's got to be nice and deep and seriously comfortable. I also,

2:18.5

I always agonise over the fabric and the colour as well because it's obviously, it's like the centrepiece of your home. It's one of the most important decisions that you make when you're coming to decorate a room, I think. You don't just sit on it. You live on it. I mean, we do. You eat on it, I mean, not actually, but you talk on it, you watch telly on it, you fall asleep on it quite often.

2:37.0

It's basically, it's like a member of the family.

2:39.0

It really is. I think people can rush it. I'm guilty of that. They panic by a sofa because they need one quickly. And then six months later, you're sitting there thinking, this is actually really not very comfortable. What have we done? I recently got a sofa from

2:52.1

Sophology and they are very pro being fussy because they know what a huge decision it is. They
