"Boxers or briefs? It's all about what you prefer, support or air flow. Briefs offer more support, but if you're buying cheap ones, the material is going to be sub-par. Boxers offer way more airflow, which can be extremely comfortable, but some of us find the freedom a bit too much, depending on the pants we where and our personal preferences. Personally, I find boxer briefs strike the best balance (leaning more in favor of support, but still being breathable)"
"What material is best for underwear? Sorry, but we're old school. We have to go with cotton. Cotton gets a bad wrap for not being "moisture wicking," but that's only when it's in a jersey fabric (like what they do on briefs to make them kinda stretchy). In a plain weavelike you get with boxerscotton becomes stiff, dry, and airy. Literally the perfect underwear material."
"If it's not 100 percent cotton, you're likely getting a blend with polyester, nylon, and the wood-pulp derived fabrics like lyocell, modal, or viscose. All of these materials add stretch, but garden variety polyester lacks moisture-wicking qualities. For that we turn to Merino wool and nylon. Brands like CDLP use Tencel lyocell which does the adds the same stretching and wicking qualities but in a more sustainable, "natural" way."
Underwear choice depends on preference for support or airflow. Briefs provide more support but cheap versions can use poor materials. Boxers provide superior airflow and comfort but can feel too free depending on pants and personal taste. Boxer briefs offer a balance, leaning toward support while remaining breathable. Cotton in a plain weave provides stiffness, dryness, and airiness that make it an ideal underwear material, while jersey cotton can lack moisture-wicking. Non‑cotton or blended options add stretch through polyester, nylon, or wood‑pulp fabrics like lyocell, modal, and viscose. Merino wool, nylon, and Tencel lyocell improve wicking and sustainability.
