14 Best Pairs of Underwear for Men, Tested & Reviewed

Mack Weldon made a name for itself in the fiercely competitive world of men's undergarments by letting its products speak for themselves. And we do have to say that this pair of boxers is one of the most comfortable things you'll ever put on your body. Lightweight and ridiculously soft, it is designed for any and every day.

One reviewer says, "These are the only undies I'm willing to wear!"

Even after all these years, Hanes—an elder statesman of the underwear scene—still offers a value proposition that's tough to beat. Our experts think this five-pack will not only give you one hell of a bang for your buck but will also keep you cool and dry (due to the sweat-wicking fabric) where it matters most.

This one's for you, fly guys. Over a few short years, MeUndies has cultivated a surprisingly devoted following enamored with the brand's signature boxer briefs. These are the exact same boxer briefs as the ones you know and love but this time with a fly. They're also designed with sustainably sourced mircromodal and a touch of elastane and come in over 100 different patterns and colors. Wow.

Everlane's supersoft supima-cotton boxer briefs are backed by a 365-day guarantee, so on the off chance anything goes awry product-wise, you won't find yourself in an underwear-related bind. They're made with a close fit through the leg and a waistband that won’t roll. This option is the perfect first layer, at last.

One reviewer says, "This is the third or fourth year that I've restocked all of my boxer briefs with Everlane's Supima version. It's hard to find boxer briefs that don't get overstretched or bunch up around the legs, and that hold up and look good as long as these do."

Nice Laundry's name speaks for itself. The upstart underwear brand reworks the classic woven boxer in knitted cotton with a touch of extra stretch, all in a slim-fitting silhouette that's cut snug but is far from clingy. All we're saying is, you're a grown man; it's time to embrace the slim-fit-pant party.

Buyers go crazy for this style, noting how they're "super soft, super comfy, and look amazing!"

Smooth, soft, and made of a microfiber stretch fabric? Now nothing can come between you and your Calvins. This ultra-cozy microfiber pair will make you want to dance around in them all day—think Tom Cruise in Risky Business. Plus, our experts love how the soft, flexible waistband retains its shape wear after wear and will stay put, without too much compression.

Bombas doesn't limit itself to making some of the best socks out there. Its selection of underwear—including these briefs made of a cotton-and-modal blend that's as soft as it is sturdy—is equally impressive. It's the type of underwear that makes you excited to open your drawer every morning.

One customer agrees, saying, "I love briefs, and these are the best I have ever bought! They are comfortable, and they fit all day long."

Ah, the mighty white cotton brief—aka tighty-whities. It doesn't get any more classic than a pack of this underwear option, especially from Fruit of the Loom. This style offers a comfortable, pinch-free leg opening and a full-coverage fit. And if Captain Underpants can rock the hell out of this look, we have no worries or doubts that you can, too.

This is the good stuff. If you're going to trust any brand to outfit the lower half of your body in a snug-fitting model, it's going to be the one that outfits folks for working and working out with equal expertise. These boxers feature an ergonomic design and supersoft, quick-drying fabric for total comfort.

Don't believe us? What about after one customer called them "simply great. The best boxers I've ever owned." We think that's a pretty compelling selling point. Just saying.

Sunspel doesn't use just any cotton; the brand uses super cotton, like this one called Sea Island, which is completely organic and feels incredibly plush. These trunks sit low on the waist with an elastic waistband and are close-cut for additional support. They're the type of everyday luxury that you'll want to invest in. It also just so happens that this style makes your ass look great—even if you're the only one looking.

Hom is a jack of all trades, master of many: The brand pretty much has every kind of underwear style out there, including the highly underrated G-string. We get that they're not everyone's preference, but don't knock them until you give one a try. You never know, you might find that you really like the no-lined look.

And if you're nervous to try this type of underwear, maybe this customer review will give you the confidence boost you need: "Love them! Perfect fit; it feels like you're almost wearing nothing. Best underwear ever."

Not too large, not too tight—these Tommy John boxers are the Goldilocks of underwear. With a more relaxed fit for dudes who prefer a little extra room to breathe, they're made out of a supremely comfortable fabric that everyone will appreciate. And speaking of, our reviewers really appreciated how there was no pilling, no lint, and no fuzz, wash after wash.

Intimissimi's boxer shorts are some of the best quality on the market. Made with a soft microfiber material, this style is designed to give maximum comfort in movement without creating any friction. Elegant comfort is the brand's aim, and elegant comfort is what it delivers.

One reviewer says, "This pair of underwear is like wearing nothing."

Say goodbye to chafing and hello to your new favorite underwear with these funky boxer briefs. Made with undeniably soft viscose and elastane, this option gives you a body-hugging fit that allows you to breathe. This is truly one of those situations where if you don't get it, you'll regret it. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, our experts highlighted how the brand's innovative ball pouch and 40-plus different patterns and colors made these stand out from the rest.
