A body-defining fit holds your manhood in place whether you’re powering through your workday or bulking up at the gym. The extended legs also hug your thighs, so you don’t have to worry about bunched-up briefs puffing up under your chinos or skinny jeans.

You know those tight, itchy waistbands that chafe your pelvic area? These Calvin Klein boxer briefs don’t have one of those.

The smooth, stretchy waistband sits comfortably against your body. It also looks sexy peeking out above your jeans (if you’re into that type of thing).

The smooth fabric drapes luxuriously across your body, providing a comfortable, yet body-hugging fit.

9.8/10

Around $30 for a 3-pack, it’s a bit pricier than a budget buy, but absolutely worth the price if you want something comfortable yet fashionable.

Super soft and breathable material makes this underwear a great rival to ExOfficio. However, because these are so thin (that’s what gives you the barely-there-ness), they do have a tendency to break down a lot quicker. So buyer beware.

There’s a kangaroo pouch built into this underwear to ensure that you’re not being compressed and constricted from every angle.

If you’re willing to take special care of this underwear—or if you don’t care about shelling out money more regularly to replace these—then the price tag may be worth it. After all, producing great quality underwear is what Tommy John is known for.

These briefs are fully supportive yet roomy. The truth is though, they won’t hug you as tightly as compression shorts.

The looser fit lets you move without having to ‘readjust’. So, they support your junk without squeezing it.

Comfort

9.9/10

These boxer briefs are so comfortable, you might forget you have them on. They fit comfortably snug through the thigh and a bit looser in the crotch.

They even stay comfortable while wet, and dry fast enough you can wear them the rest of the day.

Value

8.9/10

You may think the price is bit high to pay for one pair of boxers. However, once you try these on, you’re going to want more.

And, they hold up in the wash, so they’re great value. Keep in mind that the price on these fluctuates a bit on size and color, so keep an eye out.

The 9% Spandex mixed in with the 91% polyester gives them a good amount of stretch so they’ll adapt to your movements.

The elastic band features the Adidas logo, and is soft enough to be comfortable without losing the gripping power that will keep the underwear firmly in place. The leg holes also have a small elastic band to keep them from riding up.  Some men have complained that the double-lined mesh pouch is a bit tight, but the rest of the underwear are a comfortable fit. The non-chafing stitching and tagless design makes them great for athletic use.

Comfort

9.7/10

For guys who move around a lot (at work, home, or the gym), these are the perfect mix of athletic and comfort underwear. Their sleek design means they go great with dress pants, jeans, or workout clothing, and you can run, jump, and play without worrying about them riding up. They’re a stylish, versatile pair of underwear that will keep up with an active lifestyle!

Value

9.7/10

At under $30 for a 2-pack, you are really getting great value. Their only significant flaw is that they tend to wear out more quickly than other brands, especially in an electric dryer. Aside from that, they’re just what you need for an active lifestyle.

The underwear is made of three types of fabric: 100% cotton for the solid color underwear; 55% cotton and 45% polyester for the striped designs; and 75% cotton and 25% polyester for the “heathers” designs.

The more synthetic-heavy underwear are better for active use, while the higher-cotton underwear are definitely more suited to comfort and lounging. Either way, the fabric is soft, durable, and won’t bleed its colors with regular washing and use.

Support

8.5/10

These have been designed to offer excellent support—to the point that some users find them a bit TOO snug in the junk department.

The boxer briefs closure makes it easy to use the bathroom, and everything nestles snugly in place when you’re done. Definitely good for men who want a bit more support for all the important parts!

Comfort

9/10

Not only is the fabric beautifully soft, it’s also nicely breathable. The cotton-heavy fabric will keep everything cool on hot days, while the high-synthetic fabric will ensure that your underwear wick moisture away and dry off quickly while doing exercise.

The underwear feel great against your skin, sit comfortably in place, and will be fairly wedge-free and no-ride-up all day long. What more could you ask for?

Value

At $25 for a 5-pack, you’re paying very little for your underwear, but getting a whole lot in return. These are the “workhorse” underwear you want to own and stock in your drawers for days when you want simple comfort and easy style at a low price.

Made of 95% viscose and 5% Spandex, these underwear have a wonderful amount of elasticity with just the right amount of moisture-wicking for active use. The semi-synthetic viscose is smooth, retains its color, won’t trap body heat, and will be comfortable for all-day use. Just be warned: they may shrink in the wash!

Support

The “slim fit” means they’ll be nice and snug, particularly around your thighs. Their form-fitting style makes them great for cold weather, as they make a great lightweight base layer that won’t be too bulky when you start adding more layers on top.

Comfort

9.6/10

With the super soft material, the elasticity, and the anti-roll waistband, you’ll find these are some of the most comfortable underwear on the planet!

Value

Made from 95% cotton and 5% spandex, this pair of underwear gives you good breathability and comfort while still including plenty of flexibility and stretch. It’s not quite an active underwear, but you’ll find it holds up well to regular use and machine-washing.

Support

9.5/10

The underwear come with a specially-designed ergonomic pouch for your package. Most users agree that it’s the most comfortable for their package, as that ergonomic support keeps everything nicely nestled and protected while you move around.

Comfort

8/10

With the wide waistband and extra-long legs, you’ll find it’s a great pair of underwear to wear on its own. You can look stylish just out of bed or getting out of the shower, but the underwear won’t be bulky or bunch up under heavy clothes. The fabric is SUPER soft and beautifully gentle on your skin.

The primary downside, however, is that the rear tends to ride up, so you might spend a bit more time pulling them down than you’d like. Also, some users have complained the leg elastic tends to be a bit bulky and may also ride up.

Value

8/10

At $25 for a single pair of underwear, it’s definitely not the cheapest on our list. Still, if you want a pair of underwear that makes your important bits look and feel amazing all day long, it may be a good investment to consider.

The color-only underwear come in 100% cotton, but the “heathers” patterned underwear are 75% cotton and 25% polyester. This blend of natural and synthetic fiber makes this underwear surprisingly good for active use—it helps stop the cotton from getting soggy and sodden, speeding up the drying process.

The colors and patterns are bright, and you’ll love that the colors don’t fade even with regular wearing and washing!

Support

The comfort support fly is designed to offer moderate support, but maximum convenience when it comes time to use the bathroom. The waistband sits comfortably around your hips and keeps everything firmly in place with no sag or droop.

Comfort

8.5/10

You’ll love the tagless plush-backed waistband with its firm elastic, as well as the tighter-than-average elastic of the legs. Some users have discovered that sizes are smaller than usual, so make sure to purchase a size up. Once you slip them on, you’ll find they’re beautifully comfortable, thanks to the soft cotton and cotton-synthetic blend fabric.

Value

9.5/10

At $20 for a 7-pack, this is some pretty amazing value at a low price tag. Color, style, quality, and comfort all in one big package!
