Courtesy of Retailer The foundation of every outfit begins with a damn good pair of underwear. Support, comfort, and an attractive style that boosts your confidence are key when finding that perfect pair of underpants for daily wear. To finally end the epic search for the best underwear that suits both your lifestyle and budget, there’s a few things to keep in mind before purchasing that fresh pair.
Finding the right underwear comes down to personal preference. Of course, we all want them to feel comfortable, but some guys prefer a slimmer cut, while others prefer roomy boxers. If you're planning to use them for workouts, you're probably better off investing in moisture-wicking fabrics with a high level of stretch. If you're looking for underwear to lounge or sleep in, then soft cotton or silk is the way to go. And last is look. We're talking solid colors, patterns, graphics—the whole nine yards.

Think more shape and fit for proper support, depending on the needs of your everyday life. If you’re not a fan of underwear that rides up too high, go for a boxer brief with a longer leg and a snug fit, like compression underwear that’s perfect for the gym. Another way to avoid a wedgie or saggy bottom (for those with smaller rears), check out a low-rise style. In the correct size, a low-rise underwear option won’t feel too tight or shift in position throughout the day.When it comes to the length of your underwear, it mostly comes down to preference, unless we’re talking about performance underwear to sport during your grueling workouts. Chances are you’ll want a longer leg to prevent thigh chafing, which will also come in handy during those hotter sweat sessions.Lastly, if you’re constantly finding yourself having one of those awkward junk adjusting moments, check for boxer briefs and trunks with contour pouches that will help hold your man bits from moving around too freely. The right seams on the side will secure your goods in place. Finding Your Preferred FabricWhen you’re looking for a new pair of men’s underwear online, it can be hard to tell how it’s going to feel when so many of them look the same in photographs. Then you look at the fabric description and that can only confuse things more. Cotton, nylon, rayon—what’s the best one? Cotton vs. Cotton Blend While cotton is breathable and easy to care for, a pair that’s 100% cotton tends to lose shape over time and can give you that swamp ass feeling. If you’re looking for something a little more modern, go for a blend with nylon and some spandex. Nylon is moisture-wicking and the fabric won’t pill or stretch out. However, a little spandex in the fabric helps for movement with easy and extra comfort. Modal Another great option is modal or micromodal fabric. Made from beech tree, this incredibly soft fabric feels like nothing your junk has ever felt before. It’s lightweight, has a silky feel to it, and also is shrink-resistant and moisture-wicking. Most of the best men’s underwear on the market that you’ll hear guys rave about will have modal in its fabrication. When you’re looking for underwear at the gym, it’s important to look for a stellar pair that incorporates four-way stretch, as well as moisture-wicking and anti-odor technology. If you’re going to level-up your fitness game, you need the kind of athletic underwear that’ll work as hard as you do, so you can focus on your goals and not the sweaty, uncomfortable situation down below.
