Buying Men’s Underwear on Amazon

I love Amazon because it has almost everything – and I mean almost everything – that my husband and I need. We buy kitchen supplies, non-perishable foods, my car cover, my YouTube video gear, and random knickknacks. And that’s without even being a Prime member!

Yet, the most critical item that Amazon sells is men’s underwear (obviously). I have bought a lot of underwear from Amazon in the past, including much of my Calvin Klein collection. Yet one issue with Amazon is that they have so much men’s underwear that it is tough to know what to buy. Many brands get fantastic reviews on Amazon, yet they all can’t be the best boxer briefs on Amazon.

Since humans do not like having too many choices, I will provide you with my picks of which boxer briefs are worth buying on Amazon. If you want advice on the best briefs instead, read my Guide to the Best Men’s Briefs.

What People Think Are the Best Boxer Briefs on Amazon: 100% Cotton Boxer Briefs.

Let’s start with the People: what do guys think are the best boxer briefs on Amazon? To determine that, I typed in “men’s boxer briefs” into Amazon and examined the review score and the product’s number of reviews. With some pairs of boxer briefs receiving more than 100,000 reviews, Amazon is an excellent way of finding out what other men are wearing.

The two boxer briefs that stood out in this category are staples of American men: Fruit of the Loom and Hanes cotton boxer briefs. With over 223,000 and 146,000 reviews, respectively, and both getting excellent ratings, it is clear many guys (and women!) love these basic cotton boxer briefs.

Readers know that I am not a fan of cotton underwear and have not worn either Hanes or Fruit of the Loom underwear described here. Modal and bamboo underwear are much more comfortable than cotton and not particularly expensive (see more below). Nonetheless, if you love cotton, the reviews speak for themselves.

Between Hanes and Fruit of the Loom, I would slightly prefer the Fruit of the Loom Coolzone boxer briefs based on their description of their Coolzone fly. Fruit of the Loom uses a mesh fabric for the fly interior instead of cotton, claiming this provides higher airflow. It might make a slight difference; however, cotton still covers the front of the fly.

Choose a solid color instead of the heathered (patterned) colors for the Hanes cotton boxer briefs. The description notes that the solid colors are 100% cotton, while the heathered colors are 75% cotton and 25% polyester. You’ll want to stick with 100% cotton.

  • Length: Both brands offer standard-length boxer briefs, 5-6” inseam.
  • Price: $. With most styles under $5/pair, these cotton boxer briefs are as cheap – or as thrifty – as you can get for men’s underwear. However, I believe you can do far better if you can afford underwear in the $10-$15/pair range (see below).
  • Colors and Patterns: Both brands offer the standard solid colors of men’s underwear: varying shades of white, black, blue, and gray. Hanes only provides a couple of nondescript patterns, while Fruit of the Loom offers a tad more designs. I prefer the Fruit of the Loom color and pattern selection if you want some excitement in your underwear drawer.
  • Material and Fabric: 100% cotton, unless you opt for heathered boxer briefs, which are 75% cotton/25% polyester for Hanes and 90% cotton/10% polyester for Fruit of the Loom. Also, Fruit of the Loom Coolzone boxer briefs aren’t technically 100% cotton, as the mesh fabric on the fly is 94% cotton and 6% polyester.
  • Flys: Both brands offer a standard vertical functional fly. As mentioned above, Fruit of the Loom uses a mesh fabric on the fly interior instead of pure cotton.
  • Ball Pouches: None. For more breathing room for your balls, read my review of Hanes’ Total Support Pouch X-Temp boxer briefs.
  • Branded Waistbands: Both have their brands all along the waistbands. I am not a fan of their waistband branding, especially Hanes.
  • Multipacks: You can’t order anything less than a five or six-pack of each brand. Fruit of the Loom has a 144-pack, which may be interesting if you have a family of guys wearing the same underwear size.
  • Design Country: United States
Hanes Total Support Pouch Boxer Briefs and Trunks include a V-shaped separated pouch to promote air flow and decrease your balls sticking to your groin or legs during sweaty situations. Read my review here.
Hanes X-Temp Boxer Briefs 3-Pack
  • VALUE YOU LOVE – This sexy men’s underwear pack comes with 3 pairs of Total Support Pouch moisture-wicking underwear, in your choice of regular Boxer Briefs, Long-Leg Boxer Briefs, or Men’s Trunk Underwear. Note: Colors/patterns may vary depending on availability.
  • HELPS PREVENT CHAFING – Hanes Total Support Pouch has a breathable mesh liner that separates and supports for anti-chafing comfort that lasts.
  • STARTS COOL. KEEPS COOL – X-Temp Technology men’s boxers are designed to adapt to your temperature and activity to help you stay cool, no matter what your day brings. Targeted mesh zones make them breathable.
  • ODOR CONTROL – Advanced odor protection plus moisture-wicking performance fabric help keep you dry.
  • COMFORT YOU EXPECT – Comfort Flex waistband keeps your men’s underwear with pouch from pinching and binding, plus they’re tagless for itch-free comfort. No-ride-up legs stay in place.

My Pick for Best Boxer Briefs on Amazon for Daily Wear 

As I mentioned, I don’t like cotton underwear. Instead, I choose modal or bamboo underwear for daily wear for three good reasons:

  • Softness: Modal and bamboo feel softer than cotton, creating more comfortable underwear. Modal and bamboo boxer briefs especially feel great under tight pants.
  • Less moisture redemption: Modal and bamboo soak up less moisture than cotton, which is especially vital if you sweat a lot or live in a hot climate. Note that modal and bamboo aren’t necessarily moisture-wicking fabrics; they just won’t retain moisture like cotton.
  • Lighter and more breathable: People like cotton for its supposed breathability. I don’t agree with that, so I love modal and bamboo underwear: it is very breathable!

If you are switching from 100% cotton, please note that modal and bamboo underwear are more delicate. Treat modal and bamboo somewhat rough, and they may shrink or tear. You’ll want to dry them on a lower tumble dry cycle if you don’t hang dry (which I do inside the house).

Now, what would I buy for daily wear? This is a tricky question as there are so many good choices. Here are three picks for your everyday, go-to best boxer briefs on Amazon. I chose all three boxer briefs because they feel amazing, look amazing, and are still affordable without splurging on $30+ pairs of boxer briefs. In fact, you can get amazing men’s boxer briefs for less than $10/pair!

My Note: Bamboo and modal underwear last a lot longer when you wash them gently. That means washing it with softer clothes – not your jeans – and either drying on low heat or air drying. If you don’t want to do this, either just be aware that the underwear may not last as long as you think, or skip ahead to my picks for Athletic Underwear that are a lot more durable.

David Archy Bamboo Boxer Briefs

I own David Archy bamboo boxer briefs (read my review here), and I love them! They are perfect for simple yet high-quality, soft bamboo underwear for everyday wear. The David Archy bamboo boxer briefs have a vertical fly, unlike the Calvin Klein modal boxer briefs. They are also priced very competitively at less than $10/pair in a four-pack.

David Archy Four-Pack Bamboo Boxer Briefs
  • BREATHABILITY UPGRAGE: The second skin fabric of boxer briefs for men pack provides a ribbed texture for extra airflow,help you to stay cool, dry and odor free throughout the day.
  • LUXURY SOFT:With 95% rayon made from bamboo and 5% spandex, our mens boxer briefs underwear pack is soft like silk, almostly as if I’m not wearing anything, and gentle to sensitive skin.
  • ALL-DAY SUPPORT: The 3D pouch of the men’s underwear provides more space for excellent support and comfort. And the waistband is elastic and stays in place throughout the day without digging into the skin or rolling down.
  • MAXIMUM COMFORT: With a opening fly for fast, easy access when nature calls. And you’ll love one piece clean cut in the back to prevent wedgies and tagless design to reduce chafing.
  • PERFECT FIT: The mens underwear boxer briefs is not easy to ride up thanks to the 4-way stretch fabric. Perfect for those with an active lifestyle or summer days.

Please note that David Archy sells two kinds of boxer briefs: one with a standard pouch and one with the Dual Pouch system, which I reference in my Separatec review. I like the Dual Pouch, yet I know it is not for everyone. The standard pouch boxer briefs are very comfortable, so there is no need to feel like you have to get the Dual Pouch versions.

  • Length: These bamboo boxer briefs are 6.5″ on Amazon, which is a tad longer than the 5-6″ standard boxer briefs. If you want the same 5.5″ boxer briefs I wear, you’ll need to purchase them directly from David Archy here. However, David Archy refers to them as “trunks,” which they are not. If you prefer shorter styles, David Archy sells real trunks in the same style, just with a 2.5″ or 3″ leg length. (Caution: David Archy uses the terms trunks and boxer briefs interchangeably. Please confirm when purchasing the inseam length – 2.5″ vs. 5.5″ vs. 8″ – to ensure you are buying the correct product.)
  • Price: David Archy only sells three and four-packs, usually for less than $10/pair. This is very reasonable and a great deal, in my opinion. You’ll want to compare Amazon pricing with David Archy’s website, as they often have sales and coupon codes (including my coupon code hello200 for Free Shipping or DAJAO15 to save 15% on a purchase of $65 or more).
  • Colors and Patterns: David Archy is conservative, so you’ll only find solid-color underwear, primarily black, gray, and blue. But this is also sophisticated – and dare I say sexy?

  • Material and Fabric: David Archy usually manufactures bamboo boxer briefs with 95% bamboo and 5% elastane. 5% elastane is good and standard for modal and bamboo men’s underwear, but not as luxurious as Calvin Klein’s 10-12% Spandex content above.
  • Flys: These specific David Archy boxer briefs have a standard vertical fly. However, David Archy also makes flyless underwear, so confirm what you are getting.
  • Ball Pouches: David Archy offers a standard non-separated pouch or the Dual Pouch system on its underwear, so please note that when purchasing from David Archy. You can read more about the Dual Pouch in my Separatec review article.
  • Branded Waistbands: David Archy also puts its brand on the waistband, although the logo and style vary depending on which specific pairs you purchase. The boxer briefs I have use an embossed logo on the waistband, as you see in the photo above.
  • Multipacks: David Archy sells multipacks for all of its underwear models, usually three and four-packs, although six-packs are also available.
  • Design Country: China

Bamboo Cool Boxer Briefs with Fly

Clearly, I love bamboo and modal men’s underwear. So it was about time I bought some bamboo underwear from a brand that shows its love of bamboo too: Bamboo Cool. I purchased some Bamboo Cool trunks, and they are fantastic.

The fabric is very soft, just as I expected. However, I feel the fabric is on the thinner side, akin to Calvin Klein’s modal boxer briefs. This is especially true of the pouch, which is very roomy, but lightweight. If you want a bit more heft to your underwear, stick with David Archy above or try Bamboo Cool’s Polyester-Bamboo combination boxer briefs. In fact, Amazon notes that the Polyester-Bamboo combination boxer briefs have “fewer returns than average compared to similar products.

Here are the specs on Bamboo Cool men’s underwear:

  • Length: 6″ for their boxer briefs, again very standard. Bamboo Cool also offers shorter trunks and men’s briefs, too!
  • Price: Full price of a seven-pack of boxer briefs is under $9/pair, which is an excellent way to fully transform your underwear drawer. If you get it on sale on Amazon, even better!
  • Colors and Patterns: Bamboo Cool only offers solid colors. However, I love that they offer a wide range of colors, including lighter colors, which is not as common in men’s underwear.
  • Material and Fabric: 92% bamboo/8% Spandex for the bamboo underwear, or 47% polyester/47% bamboo/6% Spandex for the Polyester-Bamboo combination. I have the 92% bamboo trunks and the fabric is super soft and lightweight.
  • Flys: Most Bamboo Cool underwear has a vertical fly. However, if you must have a fly, double-check before ordering that the model you chose does indeed have a fly.
  • Ball Pouches: Standard, non-separated ball pouch. Bamboo Cool calls it a “3D U-pouch,” but it really isn’t any different than other non-separated pouches. It is very lightweight, so it is designed for comfort, not necessarily support.
  • Branded Waistbands: Some Bamboo Cool underwear has a generic logo, others have some weird alternative logos. Either way, I thought the waistband was soft, and it worked.
  • Multipacks: Bamboo Cool only sells multi-packs, generally ranging from three to seven pairs.
  • Design Country: Australia

  • HIGH-QUALITY MATERIAL: Our men’s boxer briefs are crafted from 92% bamboo viscose and 8% spandex, offering superior softness, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties. Compared to cotton, they are 20-30% more breathable and 2-3°C cooler, keeping you fresh and comfortable all day long
  • SIMPLY DESIGN: Every piece of underwear is designed with a 3D U-shaped fly pouch, which gives you freedom of movement. There is no wedge in the back of the boxer briefs, allowing for the comfort of men’s underwear next to skin and perfect to eliminate pinching and binding
  • ELASTIC WAISTBAND FIT: These men’s boxer briefs feature a soft, elastic waistband that provides a comfortable and flexible fit. It stretches easily to accommodate different body types, ensuring all-day comfort. The simple design and color bring a neat, classic look to your underwear
  • NO RIDE UP: It’s no-ride-up leg construction keeps fit consistently and prevents bunching. The four-way stretch allows you to move freely. They are also perfect for every occasion, running, skiing, skateboarding, football, baseball, basketball, tennis, volleyball, soccer, and hiking

Calvin Klein Modal Boxer Briefs

Having worn these boxer briefs for 10+ years at this point, I love my CK modal boxer briefs. They are my favorite Calvin Klein underwear (and I have a lot!). The material is super soft and ideal for everyday wear. If you want the full details, please read my review of them. They are soft, look amazing, and hold up very well.

  • Length: Around 6″, which is standard for boxer briefs.
  • Price: Individual pairs are expensive at $20-30/pair. However, buying a 3-pack from Amazon is much cheaper and far better.
  • Colors and Patterns: Calvin Klein only makes solid colors for its modal boxer briefs, especially darker colors like blue and black. However, you can get lighter colors depending on availability.
  • Material and Fabric: Calvin Klein sells 87% TENCEL Modal/13% Spandex and 90% Modal/10% Spandex models. They are both excellent, although the three-pack of the TENCEL modal model is cheaper (the link above).
  • Flys: None of Calvin Klein’s modal boxer briefs have a fly.
  • Ball Pouch: These modal boxer briefs have a simple, standard, non-separated pouch. No frills, but it works and is very comfortable.
  • Branded Waistbands: Calvin Klein’s waistband is iconic and adorns its modal boxer briefs.
  • Multipacks: Calvin Klein sells individual pairs and three-packs of its modal boxer briefs. Get the three-pack for maximum savings.
  • Design Country: United States

My Pick for Best Boxer Briefs on Amazon for Active Wear and Sports

Earlier, I mentioned that while modal and bamboo are less absorbent than cotton, they aren’t moisture-wicking per se. You need a synthetic-based pair of underwear – polyester, nylon, or polyamide – when you are out in hot climates, being active, playing sports, or even wearing underwear under your boardshorts. These pairs will keep you dry and thus keep you comfortable throughout your basketball game or a mountain hike.

I’ve previously written about my Puma Performance Boxer Briefs, my pick for the best boxer briefs on Amazon for active wear. Synthetic-based underwear can be tricky because synthetic materials are far less breathable than cotton, unlike modal and bamboo. Try putting a plastic bag over your groin – not very breezy, is it? I am making an exaggeration; some of my favorite underwear is polyester-based.

But what synthetic materials lack in breathability, they make up for moisture-wicking. Synthetic materials don’t like water, just like oil and water don’t mix well in your homemade salad dressing (you must emulsify to get that creamy mixture). Thus, when your skin sweats or you get wet from being in the ocean, synthetic boxer briefs don’t absorb that water – they repel it. By repelling water, synthetic boxer briefs keep you cool and comfortable by reducing humidity, wetness, and sweat from your legs and groin (especially your groin).

Can you wear polyester underwear daily?

Yes! Some of my favorite pairs of underwear are polyester-based. Synthetic underwear tends to be a bit compressive, so they often provide wonderful ball support. They also tighten up your skin, so I feel my butt and legs look hotter in polyester-based underwear. Finally, polyester and nylon-based underwear are more resilient unlike modal and bamboo. They can take a beating and hold up a lot better.

Nonetheless, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend wearing synthetic-based underwear every day. You’ll want underwear that breathes, and synthetic underwear is the opposite of that. So while you can – and I do! – it isn’t necessarily the most comfortable. Sometimes I rotate throughout the week: one day, I wear modal or bamboo boxer briefs; the next day, I wear polyester (or polyamide such as from Mack Weldon), and then modal again, and so on.

Me wearing my Polyamide-based AIRKNITx trunks from Mack Weldon.

Anyway, if you are looking for the best boxer briefs on Amazon for the gym, sports, or water, I personally recommend the Puma Performance Boxer Briefs and the Pair of Thieves . However, I also want to call out New Balance polyester boxer briefs, as with over 65,000 reviews and excellent ratings on Amazon, these boxer briefs deserve mention.

Puma Performance Boxer Briefs

I have had my Puma Performance Boxer Briefs for many, many years, and they are still going strong. They are just durable, dependable, and they don’t cost much at all. The pouch is also roomy, yet supportive, which is important in athletic underwear (these are not compression shorts, just to clarify).

Comparison of 4 inch, 6 inch, and 8 inch men's boxer briefs.
Comparison of 4-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch men’s boxer briefs.
  • Price: Full price is less than $10/pair, but you can often get it on sale, in the $8-9/pair range, which is excellent.
  • Colors and Patterns: Puma only offers solid colors, and selection can be hit or miss other than black and neon blue. However, the black boxer briefs are quite sexy looking!
  • Material and Fabric: 85% Polyester, 15% Spandex. This is a very soft blend, and has more Spandex than other Puma boxer briefs that have 10% or less. I recommend getting the greater amount of Spandex, which is why I am recommending these specific Performance Boxer Briefs.
  • Flys: Puma doesn’t offer a fly on its Performance boxer briefs. If you need a fly, look at Pair of Thieves or New Balance below.
  • Ball Pouch: Puma offers a standard, non-separated pouch. I thought the crotch length was a bit deeper than other men’s underwear, which could be good if you are larger, but not so great if you want tight support.
  • Branded Waistband: Puma brands its waistbands with its logo, which I actually like, unlike some other underwear logos, which are corny.
  • Multipacks: Only three-packs are available.
  • Design Country: Germany

Pair of Thieves Quick Dry Action Blend

I wrote a complete review of my Pair of Thieves Quick Dry Action Blend boxer briefs here, which I recommend you read. Pair of Thieves makes a lot of underwear, and some of it is too cheap for me. But these Quick Dry Action Blend boxer briefs are fantastic, and I highly recommend them for both everyday wear and for high-sweat situations.

    • Length: These are 5-6 inches, which is what most boxer briefs in the U.S. are.
    • Price: Just a tad above $8/pair, which is solid pricing and well-worth it.
    • Colors and Patterns: Solid colors only, but Pair of Thieves makes a ton of solid colors, so you can buy ultra-conservative to bright neon colors. Having said that, availability on Amazon is hit or miss outside of black and blue colors.
    • Material and Fabric: Make sure to get the Quick Dry “Action Blend” made from 90% polyester and 10% Lycra. This is the blend that I wear and I really like. Don’t get the Quick Dry cotton-based boxer briefs. I have those too, and they are ok, but as I mentioned previously, I am not a fan of cotton.
    • Flys: Yes, these come with a standard vertical fly.
    • Ball Pouch: Pair of Thieves makes a special separated pouch, but these do *not* come with that pouch. Instead, they come with a standard, non-separated pouch. It is no-frills, but it works. Also, note that the exterior fabric of the pouch is a mesh material to allow for extra cooling.
    • Branded Waistband: I love Pair of Thieves having a simple, nondescript logo on its waistband. I don’t feel like I am a walking advertisement for the company.
    • Multipacks: Only available in packs of three pairs.
    • Design Country: United States (shoutout to being based in Los Angeles, my hometown!).
    Pair of Thieves Quick Dry Boxer Briefs 3-Pack
    • ALL DAY CONFIDENCE- Stay cool and collected in this men’s underwear designed for ultimate comfort. Moisture-wicking fabric and a breathable design keeps you dry and secure.
    • SWEAT-STOPPING TECHNOLOGY – Innovative quick-dry material expertly pulls sweat away from your skin. These high-performance boxers are your trusted allies against excess moisture.
    • BARELY THERE FEEL- Supremely lightweight construction with maximum stretch lets you move freely. Enjoy a light-as-air fit that won’t bunch, roll, or ride up as you go about your day.
    • HOLDS SHAPE- fabric blend is expertly engineered to hold its shape. No more saggy, stretched-out underwear – these boxer briefs snap back wash after wash.
    • DESIGNED TO MOVE WITH YOU- Hidden fly and flexible waistband enhance mobility for any activity. From work to play, these action boxers keep you comfortable and ready for anything.

    Conclusion: What are the Best Boxer Briefs on Amazon?

    If you love using Amazon but are overwhelmed by the sheer amount of choices you have to cover your groin and support your balls, use my picks to cut the nonsense and go straight to the best. 

    • The People’s Choice for 100% cotton boxer briefs: Hanes 100% cotton boxer briefs or Fruit of the Loom Coolzone cotton boxer briefs. Each pair has over 100,000 reviews on Amazon, and both average more than 4.5/5 for their reviews.
    • My picks for everyday wear at home and work: Calvin Klein Body Modal Boxer Briefs or David Archy Bamboo Boxer Briefs. I love modal and bamboo, and I encourage all guys to try out modal and bamboo underwear instead of cotton underwear.
    • My picks when being active at the gym or outdoors: Puma Performance Boxer Briefs or New Balance Polyester Boxer Briefs. My Puma Performance boxer briefs have been a staple of my underwear collection for years, while the People of Amazon love the New Balance polyester boxer briefs. Also, if you must have a fly, New Balance is your go-to.

    Please don’t take this list as these are the only pairs I recommend from Amazon. I narrowed down the choices so you can make a quick purchase. Amazon has a ton of fantastic underwear brands and pairs that you could spend years going through all of the selections. Let me know in the comments below your favorite finds on Amazon!

    Frequently Asked Questions About Boxer Briefs

    Which Brand is Best for Boxer Briefs?

    There is not a “best” brand for Boxer Briefs. Yet the best brands offer a good mix of quality and comfort without being too expensive. Jockey, Puma, Calvin Klein, and David Archy are four examples of quality boxer briefs that are still less than $20/pair – often around $10/pair!

    Why do most guys wear boxer briefs?

    Most guys in the United States wear boxer briefs because boxer briefs provide ball support and protect the skin of your thighs – unlike briefs – while not being baggy and bunchy like boxer shorts. However, many guys are switching to trunks (short boxer briefs) or even briefs for a sexier look or because they want less fabric on their legs.

    What style of underwear should men wear?

    The style that makes you the most comfortable and confident. While most guys opt for boxer briefs because of the ball support and leg protection, many guys also choose briefs for sexiness and freedom for their legs. Other guys love trunks because they provide benefits of boxer briefs but with shorter legs for more freedom. A small portion of men still prefer boxer shorts because they like the freedom for their balls, while others choose sexier styles such as thongs, bikini briefs, and jockstraps. Ultimately, you should wear the underwear that you feel your best in – the whole reason my site exists!

    Are Calvin Klein boxer briefs comfortable?

    Yes! For the most comfort, make sure to get Calvin Klein Body Modal Boxer Briefs. Modal is lighter and feels more luxurious than cotton. Thus, if you like cotton boxer briefs, you’ll love Calvin Klein’s Body Modal Boxer Briefs.

    Me wearing my blue Calvin Klein modal boxer briefs

    Why are boxer briefs so expensive?

    Some boxer briefs are very expensive because they use premium materials, such as MicroModal AIR, Tencel Modal, or even silk. Others are expensive because of the proprietary ball pouch design, such as Saxx’s BallPark Pouch or Shinesty’s Ball Hammock Pouch. Finally, some boxer briefs are expensive purely because of the brand, such as Calvin Klein or Tom Ford. I believe that the best boxer briefs are $10-15 per pair.

    What are the disadvantages of boxer briefs?

    The biggest complaint about boxer briefs is riding up, where the legs of the boxer briefs bunch up in your pants and gather around the tops of your thighs. This can be quite uncomfortable, especially if you are wearing tight pants. The second biggest complaint is that the leg bands become too loose too quickly, which is also a cause of riding up.

    Read my article about how to avoid boxer briefs from riding up for tips on how to prevent this problem.
