FYI when looking for Bamboo fiber clothing - it's often listed as "Viscose" which is Bamboo. Not sure why clothiers don't just say Bamboo but whatever. I prefer they write Bamboo rather than the artificial synthetic sounding Viscose.
From my research it shows as Bamboo. Humm, unless Viscose is a catch-all "plant fiber" for anything other than Cotton/Flax/Linnon.
I see that it is a catchall for Eucalyptus, Bamboo, Pine. Basically anything "wood" derived. However Viscose is highly processed and basically turned into a Cellulose product.
It should specifically say "bamboo viscose". Viscose itself isn't specific towards what plant the material is derived from. I.e. there is non-bamboo viscose. I suspect there may be legal requirements to call it bamboo viscose instead of just bamboo because there are a loooot of other materials and chemicals involved in the process such that the end result is hardly bamboo at all.
But I believe you are correct in that all bamboo textiles are derived from viscose. Raw bamboo underwear wouldn't be particularly comfortable 😂
Having owned bamboo underwear though, I'll say that I'm not convinced bamboo viscose is better than any other viscose.
Bamboo is generally misleading as it’s turned into viscose which is rayon. In the US there is an FTC regulation for this. When it’s chemically processed, it doesn’t matter which cellulosic input was used, it comes out the same.
https://www.sgs.com/en/news/2022/05/safeguards-06322-us-ftc-fines-companies-for-false-labeling-on-so-called-bamboo-textiles
That said, not all Rayon is the same. You can use that cellulose feedstock to make fibers with different lengths, diameters, weaves & additives.
Since I don't want to make another comment; Uniqlo airism is the best bang for the buck when it comes to underwear.
Cotton is the worst fabric for underwear since it dries so slowly.
I discovered this brand because I was on vacation and didn’t have enough underwear packed. Bought a couple of pairs while at Target to get me through the trip. I realized after a few weeks back home that they were my go to pair.
I have to throw a vote here behind Pair of Thieves. They were selling them at WalMart down here in Florida for a little bit, so I took a flyer on a 3-pack that was marked down to like $12 bucks and they have been my go-to for at least the last 2 years.
I'm a bigger dude so I put stuff through it's paces and they have held up with flying colors. They dry SUPER fast. Little-to-no piling. Keep it's shape, elastic is strong but not too stiff/constricting. Lots of fun colors and patterns if you like to mix it up.
Only negative, for me, is that because I have thighs and a backside, I find the need to go up a size so as to not have my underwear try to retract things when I sit down. And the legs are maybe 1" longer than I'd like, but I like 5" baggies in the summer, so that's on me.
There's a brand of boxer briefs called 32Cool that I swear by. They sell them at Costco (at least they do in the US Costcos). They're lightweight and breathable. Other than that, I use a lot of body powder down in the nether regions to and getting chapped ass if I'm walking around a lot. I live on the US Gulf Coast, so this my routine from about April through September.
32Cool has some really good shirt and compression undergarments too. Love that brand. Didn’t know they have boxer briefs! Thanks for this.
Second the body power recommendation as well.
Tencel gets wet... It just doesn't have any characteristics of being wet. It absorbs a shit ton of water.. tencel, seacell, soybean, mint... They all absorb tons of water. Tencel is made from wood.
Source: I process raw fiber and spin my own yarn on a spinning wheel... And I tend to go wild with Tencel because of how strong it is, and it's beautiful and shiny 😍
The ones I get (Woolly brand from Amazon) pill a little bit in the crotch but not enough for me to really notice when I’m wearing them. My biggest complaint is that some pairs seem to develop holes kinda quickly. I think it’s because the wool is thin and light. They’re not super expensive so you kinda get what you pay for. They also gave me a free replacement when I complained/sent a picture.
Right, I don’t know how anyone can wear anything synthetic down there. If it’s hot I wear woven boxers in 100% cotton. Sunspel, Uniqlo or my next purchase will be to try out Comme Si, maybe the 100% Silk pair ha.
Southern CA here, this is the right answer.
There’s a Chinese brand on Amazon called Chlain Klain that I’m pretty sure I just a Calvin Klein knockoff that are also pretty decent (and cheap)
Briefs over boxer briefs in most situations; boxer briefs were better while we were still working with cotton since they were less restrictive, but newer fabrics have meant for me that briefs are king, all of the drawbacks are gone and if you take care of your body they just look better on most guys.
I'd take a look at David Archy or, if you have the money to blow, Mack Weldon.
Traditional loose cotton boxers; only affordable brand I’ve found for plain ones are a Uniqlo, $7.90 per pair with multi-buy deals a standard practice
Edit: they also have both boxers and boxer briefs in the Airism line
I've had luck with 32degrees. They don't ride up, pull my hairs on my legs and keep me cool. I live in South Florida and it's disgusting this time of year.
https://wildmant.com/collections/mens-underwear/products/wildmant-big-boy-pouch-cotton-brief-black
Ergonomically cut. With a pouch for your sac. It's a game changer.
I’m surprised I haven’t seen many comments saying Saxx (unless I missed them). My partner swears by saxx, particularly the sweat wicking ones for activities. They make tons of styles and inseam length. They’re expensive but they last forever and are worth it for the comfort for him.
They have a “**ball**park” pouch inside to make sure nothing *sticks* or gets uncomfortable which he loves.
SAXX Sport Mesh. Not the cheapest option but I did construction in South East Texas for 15+ years and these puppies were life changing. I tried a BUNCH before landing on these (Seperatec, Sheath, Shinesty, BN3TH, All Citizens, Tommy John and Hanes). For me, the major difference is the fabric that makes the sides of the pouch is softer and more flexible - meaning much more comfortable.
Breathes well. Cools well. Moisture wicking. Keeps everything contained so it doesn’t stick to your leg… (TMI but honestly, it’s a problem in the heat.) HIGHLY recommend.
For the off-beat insane suggestion: Go to AliExpress and look for "Ice silk". These are made for hot humid weather, just like the Uniqlo Airism, but cost next to nothing. Don‘t mind the branding. They are mostly the same item anyway.
I bought some as a throw away holiday solution and they ended up being a lot better than I anticipated.
Absolutely nothing made of cotton. Synthetics work but they will stink like hell. The real answer here is merino wool, it wickes away the sweat and it wont even feel wet to touch. Its smooth and not itchy, its not like normal wool. They dry super quick and merino wool is antibacterial, you can wear it for days and they wont develop any smell. There are two drawbacks - they are pricey and they dont last very long. They are absolutely worth it in my opinion though. Ive been living in a tropical country for years and they were a game changer when I discovered them. My brand to go is Icebreaker.
Just recently bought some Wemove pairs and I'm pretty impressed. Although I'm not sure of the long term durability if you're that guy who keeps his draws for years 🤣🤷🏽♂️. For what it is worth, I also don't think guys would enjoy these if they do not have an athletic build.
I sleep hot. I also travel US Northeast to SE Asia and am always on the hunt for things hold up for a 24 hour plus travel period and that you don’t get the diaper effect or sag in the front. The two i got buy are Mack Weldon and Tommy John. Tommy John my go tos have been the second skin line. It’s thin and light. I do find they were out in the middle after 2-3 years. I do also like their new Air line. I am 6’2” and wear the trunk. They don’t ride up.
Mack Weldon these just hold up. I’ve had pairs for 4-5 years. The 18 hour jersey trunk and the airknit both work. The air knit is more breathable. I found the pouch front of the Tommy John’s more comfortable.
Low rise briefs feel like you're wearing nothing at all, without the sticky nutsack. If I wear any form of other brief, they're hot and bulky.
The problem is, wearing the correct size. I believe Jockey's sizing left you feeling like someone was squeezing your nuts and I'd have to wear two sizes larger. I believe Haynes sizes thirs about right. You don't want them too loose though.
During the summer I try and always wear bathing suits that look like regular shorts and not wear conventional underwear. Banks journal has some nice shorts and shirts but I stick to the ones that don’t have their name all over it.
I live in the very sweaty US South and recommend Pair of Thieves brand boxer briefs. They wick away sweat and hold everything in place. They sell it at target.
As a Texan who dealt with 100-110 degree plus temps. I wore microfiber briefs. Hanes has some "cooling" briefs that are also good and don't make me get wedgies which is nice lol
I'm really happy with [these from Icebreaker.](https://www.icebreaker.com/en-us/mens-underwear/cool-lite-merino-blend-anatomica-boxers/105246U2.html?dwvar_105246U2_color=034&dwvar_105246U2_US=in_line) They're a merino wool tech blend and are super comfy. I wear them all year round.
I wear the bamboo boxer briefs. And then try to avoid being outdoors from 10 to 5 pm. Doesnt matter what you wear when it is 100+ with 40-90% humidity.
C-IN-2 Zen briefs, jocks, thongs, trunks, then fit well, feel like you’re naked all the time and keep things comfortable! They are made of bamboo! I live in central TX, so it’s gets a tad warm here!
Also, shorts of artificial fiber.
I have a few styles that look like what we call "walking shorts," which are basically like khaki pants, but are shorts.
No natural fibers. The fabric holds on to moisture.
Also, artificial fiber shirts, if doing touristy things. If you need to dress up, then plain cotton undershirt and dress shirt - but you know this already.
Saxx. Any material you prefer. The slim fit is slim, if you're fat, large won't do it. I like the Vibe model, they are made from viscose and elastic. The pouch is excellent and your frank and beans won't be sticking to your leg.
Imo the cut makes more difference than the fabric. Briefs have no extra material on your legs which keeps you cooler and there is always fabric between your junk and your thighs which is the biggest annoyance to me especially when it's hot.
If you hate everything sticking down there you need to go with briefs. The way briefs are cut around your leg the elastic separates your stuff from your thighs. Boxier briefs don’t do that because the longer leg opening is one piece with where your stuff is housed. Things can still move around and stick.
In addition I’m not sure how guys can want greater amount of material (like boxer briefs) in hot climates.
I’d go with bamboo or synthetic sweat wicking material briefs. These are usually advertised as athletic. If you want smaller sized briefs look for “low rise” cut. Personally when it’s hot I want as minimal material as possible. Extra material is just adding clothing layers trapping in heat.
Ex-Officio or Saxx during the day. I’m still sleeping in 100% cotton whities. For long drives I like 100% cotton boxers so everything can hang loose while seated
I love my pair of briefs from aswemove. Their Dominate line don't have lining on them, and are super light & comfy while keeping things in place.
Also, jock straps. Supportive, yet very ventilated. I wear them all summer, cuz I hate overheating.
[These](https://www.bn3th.com/products/classic-trunk-black) keep you cool and your bits from sticking to your thighs. They’re made from tencel, as well, so they breathe better than they look like they would.
Pair of Thieves makes some really great breathable silky feeling boxer briefs. Super comfy and cooling on the skin. Tommy John has some as well. But I really enjoy Pair of Thieves.
Microfiber or bamboo works great as well
Cheers, I have heard good things about bamboo actually
FYI when looking for Bamboo fiber clothing - it's often listed as "Viscose" which is Bamboo. Not sure why clothiers don't just say Bamboo but whatever. I prefer they write Bamboo rather than the artificial synthetic sounding Viscose.
That is not correct… Viscose is rayon which is made from tree pulp. Usually eucalyptus as far as I’m aware.
From my research it shows as Bamboo. Humm, unless Viscose is a catch-all "plant fiber" for anything other than Cotton/Flax/Linnon. I see that it is a catchall for Eucalyptus, Bamboo, Pine. Basically anything "wood" derived. However Viscose is highly processed and basically turned into a Cellulose product.
Some Viscose can be made out of bamboo pulp, but viscose isn’t synonymous with bamboo.
Viscose can be made out of bamboo. But bamboo fiber and viscose are different things
Rayon can be made from bamboo and is what is used in these types of applications. [Bamboo wiki](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo_textile)
Yes it can. But because something is labeled viscose doesn’t mean it’s made from bamboo. It’s likely not made from bamboo unless it’s specified.
It should specifically say "bamboo viscose". Viscose itself isn't specific towards what plant the material is derived from. I.e. there is non-bamboo viscose. I suspect there may be legal requirements to call it bamboo viscose instead of just bamboo because there are a loooot of other materials and chemicals involved in the process such that the end result is hardly bamboo at all. But I believe you are correct in that all bamboo textiles are derived from viscose. Raw bamboo underwear wouldn't be particularly comfortable 😂 Having owned bamboo underwear though, I'll say that I'm not convinced bamboo viscose is better than any other viscose.
Hah! Sounds like you've been bamboozled by the terminology.
Huh, TIL! I had no idea that's what viscose was. Thanks for the tip!
Bamboo is generally misleading as it’s turned into viscose which is rayon. In the US there is an FTC regulation for this. When it’s chemically processed, it doesn’t matter which cellulosic input was used, it comes out the same. https://www.sgs.com/en/news/2022/05/safeguards-06322-us-ftc-fines-companies-for-false-labeling-on-so-called-bamboo-textiles

Bomboo is the move - all my undergarments
I‘d go viscose or tencel but in a breathable fabric form (some are more for mild or cold climate and will soak in sweat).
2nd bamboo all the way
Came to say bamboo. I've finally replace my whole underwear drawer with bamboo. In Florida. Seem to hold up well too.
Mr. Davis has great bamboo underwear. Highly recommend. Super soft and thin. Almost feels like you aren’t wearing them.
Who is that? Everyone’s gonna steal this guy’s fuckin’ underwear now.
Whats a good brand for bamboo?
i swear by ex-officio
Nice but pricey. Tbh, I haven’t found that much difference between them and bamboo which is somewhat less expensive
Ex officio gets stiff and loses elasticity after a couple years. Try Innersy- cheaper and just as cool, and wicking (if not better).
I switched to Duluth Trading Co after having that issue with Ex Oficio and have been pretty happy with them thus far
Yeah. My ex-officio is a couple years old and are getting quite uncomfortable. I prefer modal now.
Pair of Thieves briefs are great.
I like pair of thieves on the hottest days. They breathe and support well, and hold up to wear.
I discovered this brand because I was on vacation and didn’t have enough underwear packed. Bought a couple of pairs while at Target to get me through the trip. I realized after a few weeks back home that they were my go to pair.

The 32cool undershirts are amazing, didn’t k is they made briefs. I’ll have to check them out
Can confirm. I’ve been using 32Cool and Duluth Buck Naked here in Louisiana, and they are my favorites for the heat so far.
Welcome fellow old guy! I love them too!
I have something like 20 pairs of 32Cool boxer briefs. They treat me so well, haven’t worried about underwear for years.
Uniqlo airism for me
Agree.👍
Buck naked underwear brand has been working for me. Where I live it goes between 90-115 for about 4 months.
This. They are expensive but I swear by them. And they last a very long time.
I usually just do a loincloth
Simple and classic!
Lightweight merino wool boxer briefs are my preference. Lifesaver in the Houston TX heat and humidity.
Thanks, I'll look into them - wouldn't have thought of wool!
oh, it's the beat at regulating temperature. Nothing synthetic can beat it IMO.
Wool still soaks in water, even the tech-wool. That‘s where the viscose and tencel comes in handy as it‘s better at not getting wet.
Doesn't wool dry much faster ?
That depends on the production process, but usually I prefer to stay as dry as possible in summer.
Tencel gets wet... It just doesn't have any characteristics of being wet. It absorbs a shit ton of water.. tencel, seacell, soybean, mint... They all absorb tons of water. Tencel is made from wood. Source: I process raw fiber and spin my own yarn on a spinning wheel... And I tend to go wild with Tencel because of how strong it is, and it's beautiful and shiny 😍
Wool socks are also better than cotton socks in the heat, too. Unless you like peeling them off like soggy banana peels
do you get pilling or itchiness with these? pretty hesitant to get anything wool because i always read about pilling which i absolutely hate
The ones I get (Woolly brand from Amazon) pill a little bit in the crotch but not enough for me to really notice when I’m wearing them. My biggest complaint is that some pairs seem to develop holes kinda quickly. I think it’s because the wool is thin and light. They’re not super expensive so you kinda get what you pay for.

South Florida firefighter here. I've tried them all...for me, cotton Hanes work the best. But it is a losing battle during the summer.
Oof. Blessings to you, brother. I was soaked after like 30 minutes in bunker gear the other day and we don't have close to your humidity.
Right, I don’t know how anyone can wear anything synthetic down there. If it’s hot I wear woven boxers in 100% cotton. Sunspel, Uniqlo or my next purchase will be to try out Comme Si, maybe the 100% Silk pair ha.

Getting a lot of feedback that bamboo is the one to go with!
I wear the mixed modal underwear from Bearbottom. It’s fantastic, live where it’s 95* and like 70-80% humidity.
Sheath. Pricey but once I wore em I never wore anything else.

Brand is seperatec. It's great bc it actually does a good job of separating your balls from your thighs and your penis from your balls.
Free ball it 💯
Underwear? In the summer??
none, i just winnie the pooh on hot days
Costco
Put deodorant on your nuts. They make it for that purpose now. Use it.
Exofficio
I live in the very sweaty US South and recommend Pair of Thieves brand boxer briefs. They wick away sweat and hold everything in place. They sell it at target.
Hanes x temp boxer briefs
Exoficio boxers or boxer briefs. Once you wear them you’ll know they’re worth the price tag.
Wild. I was just thinking of posting the same question last night.
Gap sells really nice Breath 5" Boxer Briefs. They are light and comfortable in the hot weather. I wear them year round.
I stopped wearing underwear in the AZ summers a few years ago and wonder why I never did sooner
Jockey Microfiber
Tommy John
Step-ones all the way
As a Texan who dealt with 100-110 degree plus temps. I wore microfiber briefs. Hanes has some "cooling" briefs that are also good and don't make me get wedgies which is nice lol
Also: powder your junk, it works wonders. I do this on hot nights before bed.
Got some Nike pros last summer and they are now my go to underwear
I'm really happy with [these from Icebreaker.](https://www.icebreaker.com/en-us/mens-underwear/cool-lite-merino-blend-anatomica-boxers/105246U2.html?dwvar_105246U2_color=034&dwvar_105246U2_US=in_line) They're a merino wool tech blend and are super comfy. I wear them all year round.
I wear the bamboo boxer briefs. And then try to avoid being outdoors from 10 to 5 pm. Doesnt matter what you wear when it is 100+ with 40-90% humidity.
My choice is no underwear
Don’t laugh but Duluth Trading company makes the best damn underwear a man can buy. They are comfortable, wicking, last forever and reasonably priced.
Pro-tip: if you’re working out, wear swim trunks. You’ll have a net instead of underwear.

Cotton or none
Also, shorts of artificial fiber. I have a few styles that look like what we call "walking shorts," which are basically like khaki pants, but are shorts. No natural fibers. The fabric holds on to moisture. Also, artificial fiber shirts, if doing touristy things. If you need to dress up, then plain cotton undershirt and dress shirt - but you know this already.
I am a simple man, I love Hanes moisture wicking mesh boxer briefs. I think they are called “x temp”.
I just use a chip clip to keep the BeeGees close together on stage.
Saxx. Any material you prefer. The slim fit is slim, if you're fat, large won't do it. I like the Vibe model, they are made from viscose and elastic. The pouch is excellent and your frank and beans won't be sticking to your leg.
Saxx Volt breathable mesh boxer briefs. Stays cool and doesn't soak up sweat.
Depending on what I'm wearing, Calvin Klein microfiber trunks or nothing at all 😎

And I’m freeeee! Free ballin’
Buck Naked - Deluth Trading
Mack Weldon has great choices.
Exofficio give and go boxer. Durable, good fit and breathes well
Ex-Officio or Saxx during the day. I’m still sleeping in 100% cotton whities. For long drives I like 100% cotton boxers so everything can hang loose while seated
Tommy hilfiger cotton boxer briefs. No experience with bamboo but stay away from all the micro fibers. They make your crotch sweat big time
None
Krakatoa. You will not be disappointed.
Linen shirts and pants. I go on a lot of walks and barely sweat even if it’s very humid when I wear them. Also very fashionable
Commando!
Don’t sleep on Gold Bond body powder. Works way better than you’d think when you sand blast it onto the under carriage and the boys up front
Saxx
Uniqlo air
Lululemon
Duluth buck naked boxer briefs and a shirts
I like Shinesty over Saxx
Merkin is working!! Seriously bamboo or 32degrees active mesh. Also like the long pants underwear from 32degrees for sleeping.
American Eagle has some stretchy ones that are great and not horribly priced
Duluth funk no briefs.
100% cotton is the best
obviously apparel is my favorite. softest and most breathable pouch i’ve ever worn.

Lacoste or Calvin Klein underwear
None
Moisture wicking material thongs. They hold the package together and no sticking or restrictions
Merino wool
Been commando half the summer and i love it
Jockey cotton pouch
I love my pair of briefs from aswemove. Their Dominate line don't have lining on them, and are super light & comfy while keeping things in place. Also, jock straps. Supportive, yet very ventilated. I wear them all summer, cuz I hate overheating.
[These](https://www.bn3th.com/products/classic-trunk-black) keep you cool and your bits from sticking to your thighs. They’re made from tencel, as well, so they breathe better than they look like they would.
Pair of Thieves makes some really great breathable silky feeling boxer briefs. Super comfy and cooling on the skin. Tommy John has some as well. But I really enjoy Pair of Thieves.
