Underwear

Boxer briefs (trunks) are the most popular, snug without being restrictive, preventing thigh chafing, working under all clothing. Cotton-modal blends or micro-modal fabric for maximum softness. But it's personal, some prefer loose boxers, others need the support of briefs.

Minimum 14 for two weeks of daily changes. A more comfortable rotation is 20-25. Include everyday basics, sports underwear for exercise, and a couple of smarter pairs. Replace anything with stretched waistbands or holes, no excuses.

Cotton is the classic, breathable, soft, easy to wash. Modal and micro-modal feel silkier with better moisture management. Polyester-elastane for sports. Avoid pure synthetics for everyday as they trap heat. The right fabric makes the difference between underwear you tolerate and underwear you actually prefer.
