The Editor’s Pick
These are what we’d imagine you’d get if you had a scan of your body done for custom underwear. They are tailored with a three-dimensional shaped front for support, but made with a bonding technique so they’re completely seamless. Even the waistband is integrated into the fabric. Speaking of which, that double-layered waistband has anti-slip grips and it’s actually lower at the front and higher at the back to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. And since they’re cut from the brand’s signature stretchy AIRism fabric, they keep you cool and dry, no matter the weather.

With a Fly
Most seamless styles omit the fly, because, by definition, it adds a small seam and complicates matters. But if you’re used to, or prefer, a fly for easy access, then this is the pair for you. This design flips the standard fly 90 degrees and places it right where you need it with minimal fabric overlap. Other testers appreciated that this modal fabric was slightly thicker than other styles, which provided a little more support.

Performance Boxers
Want some boxer briefs you can wear under your workout shorts? These are it. With a mid-thigh length, they’ve got a seamless ribbed waistband and hems with a supportive pouch in front to keep everything in place. Ventilated panels in the crotch and back keep you cool and dry. The material itself is incredibly stretchy and holds up to both friction and multiple washes really well.
