How to cancel your Cheek Boss subscription and stop recurring charges
What is Cheek Boss and why cancellations are common
Cheek Boss is a U.S.-based apparel retailer that specializes in seamless underwear and comfortable basics, operating a subscription membership model alongside individual purchases. The brand positions itself around inclusivity, comfort, and convenience through their flagship Cheek Boss V.I.P. membership program, which delivers three pairs of curated underwear monthly. Across consumer review sites and forums, "cancel Cheek Boss" appears frequently-a clear signal that subscription management is a pressing concern for their customer base.
You may be considering cancellation for legitimate reasons. Some subscribers find the monthly charge no longer aligns with their budget or lifestyle. Others report shipping delays, order discrepancies, or difficulty connecting with customer support when disputes arise. A notable segment of users report that they initiated cancellation but continued receiving charges on their bank statements for multiple billing cycles afterward. This pattern-difficult-to-confirm cancellation coupled with persistent charges-underscores why you need a documented, step-by-step approach. At Yafee, we help consumers navigate exactly these scenarios.
Understanding the Cheek Boss v.I.P. membership structure
Your first step is to confirm your current subscription plan and billing cycle. Below is the primary recurring membership offered by Cheek Boss.

| Cheek Boss V.I.P. |
$24.99 |

Locate your most recent credit card or bank statement and confirm the charge amount and billing date. If you see a different charge (for example, a promotional rate of $19.99 or $22.99), note that variation before you proceed with cancellation. Document this information in writing or take a screenshot; you will need it if a billing dispute arises after you cancel.
Why people choose to cancel
Customer feedback on Cheek Boss reveals a divided picture. Many praise product quality, comfort fit, and inclusive sizing across the range. However, a substantial number of reviews document cancellation friction. Common complaints include extended fulfillment times (sometimes 2-3 weeks or longer), unresponsive customer support when cancellation requests are made, and lingering uncertainty about whether cancellation actually took effect.
Across multiple consumer platforms, three recurring themes emerge: prolonged shipping delays, difficulty obtaining written cancellation confirmation, and continued charges appearing on statements weeks after the customer believed they had cancelled. Experienced users consistently recommend requesting written proof of cancellation and monitoring your bank statements for at least two billing cycles after you initiate the cancellation process. This pattern reinforces a critical truth: your documentation and follow-up are what protect you, not the company's internal record-keeping alone.
Your consumer rights and what the law protects
Federal law in the United States grants you explicit rights when dealing with subscription services like Cheek Boss.
The Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act (ROSCA), enforced by the Federal Trade Commission, mandates that any company operating a negative-option (subscription) service must provide clear and conspicuous disclosure of all material terms before you charge your payment instrument. Furthermore, the company must obtain your express informed consent before billing you for the first time. Most importantly, ROSCA requires that you be given a simple, straightforward mechanism to cancel your subscription-and that cancellation must be honoured without delay or unreasonable conditions.
In addition, the Federal Trade Commission's Negative Option Rule (which took effect in December 2023) reinforces that cancellation requests must be processed and confirmed in writing within a specific timeframe. If Cheek Boss continues to charge you after you have submitted a valid cancellation request, you have grounds to dispute the charges with your bank or credit card issuer under the Fair Credit Billing Act. This legal framework is your foundation; Yafee uses these protections to help consumers recover unauthorized charges.
Your legal position when you cancel
When you submit a cancellation request to Cheek Boss, you are exercising a right granted to you under federal law. The company must honour that request, process the cancellation promptly, and provide written confirmation. If they fail to do so and you are charged again, you can file a dispute with your bank or credit card company-a chargeback-backed by the legal authority of the Fair Credit Billing Act. You are not asking permission; you are exercising a statutory right. Document every step so that your evidence aligns with the law if the company disputes your claim.
Methods to cancel your Cheek Boss subscription
Cheek Boss provides multiple cancellation routes, though not all are equally reliable or transparent.
Cancellation via your Cheek Boss account online
This is the fastest and most documentable method if the interface functions correctly. Follow these steps:
- Navigate to cheekboss.com and log in to your account using your email address and password.
- Locate the account menu (often labelled "Account," "My Account," "Profile," or an icon in the top right corner).
- Select "Subscription", "Membership," or "Manage Subscription"-the exact label varies depending on the website's current design.
- Look for a button or link labelled "Cancel Subscription," "Cancel Membership," or "End Subscription."
- If prompted with reasons for cancellation, select the option that best matches your situation.
- Do not skip this step; some services use feedback to improve their process.
- Review the final cancellation confirmation page carefully. Take a screenshot showing the date, time, and confirmation number (if provided).
- Save or print this confirmation page to your computer or cloud storage for future reference.
If the online portal does not provide a cancellation option or displays an error message, proceed immediately to email or phone support; do not delay assuming the system will work on a second attempt.
Cancellation via email
Email provides a documented, timestamped record of your cancellation request. This method is essential if the online portal fails or if you want additional written proof. Follow these steps:
- Compose an email to [email protected] with the subject line: "Cancellation Request - [Your Full Name] - Account [Your Email Address]"
- This clear subject line helps the support team locate your account quickly.
- In the email body, include:
- Your full name
- The email address associated with your Cheek Boss account
- The exact statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Cheek Boss V.I.P. membership effective immediately. Please confirm this cancellation in writing and provide the cancellation date and confirmation number."
- Your current billing date (if you know it)
- Send the email from the same email address linked to your Cheek Boss account (this proves the request is from the account holder).
- Retain a copy of the email you sent and the timestamp. Most email providers (Gmail, Outlook, etc.) create an automatic record in your "Sent" folder.
- Wait for a reply. Yafee recommends expecting a response within 5 to 7 business days under ROSCA guidelines.
If you do not receive written confirmation within 7 business days, send a follow-up email marked "RESEND" and copy in the first email for context. This creates a clear escalation trail if you need to file a dispute later.
Cancellation via phone
Phone cancellation offers immediate feedback but lacks the automatic documentation of email or the portal. Use this method only as a backup or if you need to resolve cancellation issues urgently. Follow these steps:
- Call Cheek Boss customer support at (702) 670-2486 during their advertised business hours.
- When you reach a representative, clearly state: "I am calling to cancel my Cheek Boss V.I.P. membership effective immediately."
- Do not negotiate, explain your reasoning at length, or accept retention offers unless you genuinely wish to stay.
- Request the following information and write it down as the representative provides it:
- Confirmation number for the cancellation
- The date the cancellation becomes effective
- Confirmation that no further charges will appear on your account
- The name of the representative who processed your cancellation
- Ask the representative to email you a written confirmation. Say: "Can you please send me a confirmation email to [your email address] confirming this cancellation, the date, and the confirmation number?"
- Keep detailed notes of the call, including the date, time, representative's name, and the confirmation number. Take a screenshot of your phone's call log if possible.
If the representative refuses to cancel your account or claims they cannot process cancellations by phone, ask to speak with a supervisor. Under ROSCA, the company must provide a simple mechanism to cancel; if phone cancellation is advertised, they must honour it.
What happens after you submit your cancellation request
Cancellation is not always instantaneous, and the gap between request and final confirmation can create confusion. Understanding this timeline protects you from unexpected charges.
Expected timeline for cancellation processing
Under the Federal Trade Commission's Negative Option Rule, Cheek Boss must process your cancellation request and provide acknowledgment within a specific period. In practice, you should expect the following:
- Within 1 business day: If you cancel via the online portal, you will typically receive an immediate on-screen confirmation.
- Within 5 to 7 business days: If you cancel via email, expect a written reply confirming the cancellation and providing a confirmation number.
- Immediately: If you cancel by phone, the representative should provide a confirmation number and verbally confirm the cancellation date on the call itself.
- Before your next billing date: Cheek Boss must ensure that no charge appears on your next scheduled payment date if you have cancelled before that date.
If your next billing date is 5 days away and you cancel today via email, the company cannot charge you on that billing date. If they do, the charge is unauthorized under federal law, and you have grounds to dispute it.
Monitoring your bank statement after cancellation
Your bank statement is your verification tool. After you cancel, monitor your account carefully for at least two billing cycles. This is not excessive caution; it is standard practice recommended by the Federal Trade Commission itself.
Set a reminder on your calendar for the day before your previously scheduled billing date. Log into your bank or credit card account and check for any charge from Cheek Boss. If no charge appears, your cancellation has been honoured. If a charge does appear after you have cancelled, document it immediately: take a screenshot, note the date and amount, and prepare to file a chargeback (see the refund section below).
Pausing instead of cancelling
Cheek Boss offers a pause or skip feature for V.I.P. members. If you are uncertain about whether you want to cancel permanently, you can pause your membership for 1, 2, or 3 months instead. You can pause via your account settings or by contacting customer support. Pausing does not cancel your membership-you remain enrolled and will resume shipments after the pause period expires. Only choose this option if you genuinely plan to resume; otherwise, cancel outright to avoid unexpected charges when the pause expires.
Refund eligibility and how to dispute unauthorized charges
Cancellation and refunds are separate issues in subscription law. Understanding the distinction protects your money if Cheek Boss has already charged you.
Refund policy for current and past charges
Cheek Boss' refund eligibility depends on the timing of your request and the status of your shipment. Generally, the following rules apply:
| Situation |
Refund eligibility |
Action to take |
| Charged but shipment not yet sent |
Refund likely |
Request refund immediately when you cancel; Yafee recommends pursuing this in writing |
| Charged and shipment in transit |
Refund or return required |
Confirm shipment status with Cheek Boss; request return label if unwilling to accept goods |
| Charged and shipment received |
No refund (unless goods are defective) |
You may cancel future charges but keep the delivered items unless you choose to return them |
| Charged after cancelled subscription |
Full refund (unauthorized charge) |
Contact Cheek Boss first; if unresolved, dispute via bank within 60 days |
The most important row is the last one. If Cheek Boss charges you after you have validly cancelled, that charge is unauthorized under federal law, and you have the absolute right to recover that money through your bank.
Disputing unauthorized charges with your bank
If Cheek Boss continues to charge you after you have submitted a cancellation request, your bank or credit card company is your enforcement mechanism. Follow these steps:
- Contact your bank or credit card issuer. Call the customer service number on the back of your card or log into your online banking portal.
- Tell the representative: "I cancelled my subscription with Cheek Boss on [date], and I received an unauthorized charge on [charge date]. I have written proof of my cancellation request. I would like to file a dispute."
- Provide the representative with:
- The date of your cancellation request (from your email timestamp, screenshot, or phone records)
- The date of the unauthorized charge
- The amount charged
- A summary of your proof (e.g., "I have a screenshot of my cancellation confirmation" or "I have an email from Cheek Boss customer support")
- The bank will assign you a dispute case number. Write this down immediately.
- The bank will typically credit your account provisionally within 3 to 10 business days while they investigate. The investigation usually concludes within 30 to 60 days.
- If Cheek Boss contests the chargeback, the bank will request your evidence. Email your screenshots and documentation to the bank immediately when they request it.
- Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, you are not responsible for unauthorized charges. The burden is on Cheek Boss to prove the charge was authorized.
Yafee has seen hundreds of consumers successfully recover funds through this process. Your cancellation request, coupled with your bank's investigation power, is a strong position.
Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation
You can cancel successfully with confidence if you avoid these pitfalls.
Relying on a single cancellation attempt
The most frequent mistake is to cancel via one method (e.g., the website), assume it worked, and then discover months later that charges continued. Do not assume any cancellation is complete until you have received written confirmation. If the online portal appears to confirm your cancellation but you do not receive an email within 3 business days, send a cancellation email immediately. Redundancy is your safety net.
Cancelling close to your billing date
If your billing date is tomorrow and you cancel today, Cheek Boss may or may not process the cancellation in time to prevent the charge. To be safe, cancel at least 10 business days before your scheduled billing date. If you are uncertain of your exact billing date, log into your account and look for upcoming charges listed under "Billing," "Payments," or "Account," then calculate backwards 10 days to determine your safe cancellation window.
Forgetting to document your cancellation
Screenshots and email confirmations are not bureaucratic overhead; they are your legal evidence. If you cancel via phone and do not request written confirmation, you have only your word against Cheek Boss's records if a charge appears later. Always request written confirmation in every cancellation attempt. Always save it.
Accepting verbal assurances without follow-up
If a customer service representative says, "Your cancellation is done, no worries," do not stop there. Ask for written confirmation. Ask for a confirmation number. Ask for it in writing. Then monitor your next billing date. Representatives are not liable if the cancellation fails to process; only the company is. Protect yourself accordingly.
Pricing comparison and whether to keep or cancel
Before you finalize your cancellation decision, compare the Cheek Boss V.I.P. cost to alternatives and your actual usage.
| Service |
Monthly cost |

If you wear three pairs per month, the V.I.P. plan costs $8.33 per pair, which is competitive only if you value the discount on additional items and the convenience. If you buy fewer than three pairs per month on average, you are paying for items you do not need. If you prefer shopping independently and can find comparable quality at retail, cancelling eliminates the subscription lock and gives you flexibility. Assess your actual usage and budget before finalizing your decision.
Your work is not finished the moment your cancellation is approved. Specific follow-up actions secure your position.
Create a cancellation record file
Organize all your cancellation evidence in one place, whether digital or physical. Create a folder on your computer named "Cheek Boss Cancellation" and save:
- Screenshots of your account page showing the cancellation option (taken before you cancelled)
- Screenshots of the final cancellation confirmation page, including the date, time, and confirmation number
- A copy of your cancellation email and the company's reply
- Notes from your phone call, including the representative's name, confirmation number, and date
- Bank statements showing the date your subscription charges were made and stopped
If a dispute arises, you will have everything you need in one place. Yafee recommends keeping this file for 12 months after cancellation, even if no issues arise.
Set calendar reminders for billing verification
On your phone or computer calendar, mark two dates:
- One week after cancellation: Reminder to confirm receipt of written cancellation confirmation from Cheek Boss (via email or portal).
- On your previous billing date (one month after cancellation): Reminder to check your bank statement and confirm no charge from Cheek Boss appears.
If a charge does appear on your statement after you have cancelled, you have a 60-day window (under the Fair Credit Billing Act) to dispute it with your bank. Acting immediately ensures you stay within this window.
Unsubscribe from marketing emails (optional)
Cancelling your subscription does not automatically remove you from Cheek Boss's marketing email list. If you wish to stop receiving promotional emails, look for an "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any Cheek Boss email you receive and click it. Alternatively, email [email protected] with the subject line "Remove from mailing list" and request removal. This step is optional and does not affect your cancellation, but it reduces unwanted communications.
If Cheek Boss fails to honour your cancellation or continues charging after you have cancelled, you have formal escalation options backed by federal law.
Cheek Boss customer support channels
- Email: [email protected]
- Phone: (702) 670-2486
- Mailing address: Check your account page or a recent invoice for Cheek Boss's registered business address, as they may accept formal cancellation notices via certified mail
When you contact Cheek Boss, reference your confirmation number and be specific about the date you attempted cancellation. Provide copies of your evidence in writing.
Filing a complaint with the federal trade commission
If Cheek Boss ignores your cancellation request or refuses to stop charging you, you can file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, which enforces ROSCA and the Negative Option Rule. Visit reportfraud.ftc.gov and file a complaint describing your cancellation attempt, the dates involved, and the company's failure to honour your request. Include copies of your evidence. The Federal Trade Commission does not resolve individual disputes, but patterns of complaints lead to regulatory action.
Disputing charges through your bank
As detailed above, any charge that appears after a valid cancellation request is unauthorized and can be disputed through your bank's chargeback process within 60 days of the charge. This is your most direct path to recovering money.
Consulting a consumer attorney
If Cheek Boss has charged you repeatedly after cancellation and the amounts are substantial, consult a consumer attorney in your state. Many offer free consultations. Many states' consumer protection laws allow recovery of attorney fees and damages if a company has violated the law, which means the company may ultimately pay for your legal action.
Final summary and next steps
Cancelling your Cheek Boss subscription is your right under federal law, and the company is obligated to honour your request promptly and without obstruction. Your strategy is simple: cancel via your preferred method, document the cancellation with screenshots and written confirmation, monitor your bank statement, and escalate to your bank if unauthorized charges appear after cancellation.
Remember the core steps: log into your account and cancel online (the fastest method), or send a written email to [email protected] requesting immediate cancellation, or call (702) 670-2486 and ask for written confirmation. Take screenshots of every confirmation you receive. Check your bank statement before your next scheduled billing date. If a charge appears after you have cancelled, file a chargeback with your bank immediately and provide your cancellation evidence.
