Best Overall

These Calvins get the big award for fabric and cut that’s just right for any day of the week. The stretch fabric, made of 87% nylon and 13% elastane, has a few advantages over cotton or micro-modal.

Unlike cotton, this nylon microfiber is a moisture-wicking fabric, so you never have to worry about those super sweaty days down there. Sounds like performance underwear, right? True, considering microfibers can be made of polyester or nylon, but unlike a polyester fabric that's usually found in performance underwear, nylon tends to be softer, stronger, and better for stretch (that 13% elastane helps, too!).

While your day-to-day activities always change, this fabric choice is perfect to handle your manhood on active days, with the soft touch you want when you’re just lounging around. Plus, nylon won’t pill like cotton, making this machine-washable underwear easy to care for (because laundry is annoying enough as it is!).

The look and cut of this stellar pair is another major reason to have nothing come between you and your Calvins! The black nylon fabric looks sleek and goes unnoticeable under any bottoms, with a low-rise waistband that’s essential to a good fit.

Unlike your dad’s underwear, brands and men everywhere have learned that a rise that goes up to your belly button is flattering on no one! Plus, if you have a smaller backside, the low rise helps to really hug what you have, and avoid the saggy look. While your butt looks its best, your front gets the next-level support it needs with the contoured pouch. It’ll keep your man-bits where they belong and accentuate them to look damn good, too — what more can a guy ask for? How about the same look in different cuts? If trunks aren’t your thing, they also come in a brief and a longer boxer-brief style. *drops the mic*

Best Budget Buy

While the best underwear out there will usually cost you extra for great cuts and fabric, H&M is killing it with their underwear game! The combination of 95% cotton and 5% spandex feels soft and comfy with some stretch. Plus, the contour pouch seams keep your junk in the right place. Consider this three-pack your introduction to the best affordable underwear out there that comes in a bunch of different colors and patterns.

Best Boxer

Hanes is a classic worth keeping on your radar. While boxers aren’t the most comfortable shape to rock under your pants and jeans (and GQ thinks you should try a different underwear style), these affordable boxers are great for their odor protection technology and the hint of stretch to help you move a little more freely. Plus, they come in a variety of plaid and stripe patterns that have men wanting to buy in bulk (literally — there's a 10-pack option!).

Best Brief

Sunspel uses a special fine jersey fabric that's made of twisted, long-staple, double-spun cotton yarn for an incredibly soft feel that won't wear out. This heavenly underwear is worth every penny for those ready to throw down for life-changing briefs.

Best Athletic Underwear

Under Armour’s Boxerjock takes performance seriously, with a fabric that has four-way stretch, moisture-wicking technology, feels super lightweight, and prevents odor. Rock this longer-length boxer short to the gym, and never worry about inner-thigh chafing! The cool camo print is a trendy touch that makes this underwear the epitome of style-meets-function, too.

Best Soft Underwear

MeUndies is known for their soft AF fabric that feels like heaven (made of 92% MicroModal and 8% elastane). Think of MicroModal as the equivalent to cashmere when it comes to underwear (you need to feel it to believe it). While it feels the softest, it’s not necessarily the most durable. While the fabric is the big attraction here, those who love a fuller-coverage brief will be big fans of this cut. From the most basic colors to some wild and festive prints, there’s a pair for any guy’s style.

Best for Next-Level Support

When it comes to undergarments, usually ladies get the goods with all the support. 2(X)IST is changing that with their shapewear brief. It has a jock strap-like support for your rear, while the ultra contoured pouch keeps your front supported (and looking great!). Made of 90% cotton and 10% spandex, the fabric is both breathable and comfy. Did we mention they look amazing on? This is one pair that’ll have you feeling supported and confident all day long!

Best for a Flattering Fit

After trying a pair, you’ll want to stock up on this limited-edition hit! These super sexy trunks have a slimming small waistband with flirty text, a crazy soft feel (with a winning fabric blend of 95% cotton and 5% spandex), and a comfy “hang-free” pouch that’ll have your manhood feeling snug, not smushed. Best of all, the brand donates a portion of proceeds to one of 10 different LGBTQ charities of your choice with every purchase. Giving back never felt so good!

Best Designer Splurge

Make a statement to your late-night date with Dolce & Gabbana briefs. Designer underwear shows you appreciate the finer things in life and they make you look extra snazzy down to your skivvies. For a designer label, this two-pack isn’t the most expensive underwear out there either! As you would expect for an Italian brand, these briefs are designed for a snug fit to hold your manhood in place. Luxury label underwear isn't necessary, but we say treat yo' self!
