Tyler Schoeber is SPY’s E-Commerce & Special Projects Editor. We will continue to update this guide as we test new products. For this guide, we chose the 19 best options. The SPY team has tested around 100 pairs of underwear and over 25 brands in the past few years. Yes, you read that right. Material: Because, again, you need to be comfortable!.Fit: Your underwear should fit you, especially after a few washes.Longevity: You don’t want to purchase a pair of underwear for it to fall apart after one wash, do you?.Breathability: Nobody likes a sweaty downstairs.Softness/Comfort: Need we say more? You want to be comfortable in your underwear.Special Qualities: Did these underwear options have any special qualities like moisture-wicking properties, anti-chafe efforts or more? We considered this because, in 2022, they should.Color Options: Don’t you want to look good in your underwear? We decided whether or not some of our top picks were to be considered based on color and pattern options because we want you to not only feel good in your undies but look good, too.After scoring every product, we compare the final results to determine the overall best pair of men’s underwear. For each of these categories, we decided to weigh differently depending on how important we felt each variable was. They’ve gone through it all through testing because that’s how regular people wear underwear.ĭuring our testing efforts, we considered several different categories to ensure greatness. They’ve come to the office, flown across the country, gone to the gym, gone to the bars, and laid on stranger’s floors thereafter. We wore each pair of underwear countless times, washed them more times than we can remember and lived our day-to-day lives the way we usually would. How We Tested the Most Comfortable Men’s Underwear These fabrics all add different qualities to men’s underwear that might allow for extra stretch, shrink-resistance, moisture-wicking properties and more. You might see nylon, spandex, modal and more. The most comfortable underwear nowadays typically uses varying cotton blends to maximize an ideally long-lasting fit. This is something to keep in mind if you’re the tried-and-true type who doesn’t want to go out and buy a new pair of skivvies every couple of months. While you might be used to cotton underwear due to its unmatched comfort, you’ve probably realized that 100% cotton underwear doesn’t hold up quite as well in the wash. In addition to style, you will want to look at material. If you haven’t tried each style, we suggest giving each a shot - you might be surprised which is your favorite. While tighty-whities were going extinct, brands such as Los Angeles Apparel resurrected the look with their trademark colorful briefs. However, that style doesn’t fit everyone. An estimated 58% of guys prefer boxer briefs, according to an AskMen/Huffington Post survey. Trunks are in a spot between boxer briefs and briefs (they’re a little longer than briefs but not as long as boxer briefs)Īmong modern men, boxer briefs are far and away the most popular.Boxer briefs are a tighter form of boxers that fall mid-thigh (supportive, athletic and flattering).Boxers are loose around the thigh and gonads (for the best breathability).Briefs are short and tight (the classic tighty-whities design).The lettering and branding feel very old, so you won’t necessarily be interested in showing these off if you catch our drift. In addition, these aren’t the sexiest of men’s underwear. The only issue we found is that in some pairs (but weirdly not all), the crotch got a little tight when wearing at times. While testing them, he also had his younger brother in his early 20s and father in his late 50s give the boxer briefs for a spin. When testing, our editor decided it would be fun to get his family involved with Undergents just to see how well they did amongst folks in different age groups. These boxer briefs are made for any guy, no matter their age. But, it’s not that hard if you have Undergents. The Goldilocks pair of underwear, essentially. It’s hard to find the perfect fit for everybody. Best For: Men of any age group or demographic looking for something that holds their body comfortably but not too tightly.
