The Best Moisture-Wicking Underwear of 2023

This Fruit of the Loom design comes in a set of six, making it a super cost-effective choice at under $20. The fabric is all moisture-wicking except for a mesh patch near the groin that allows for ventilation where you need it most.

They come in a few different color options and three different lengths to suit different body types. Plus, they are super size-inclusive, with sizes ranging from small to 5x.

Designed with semi-compression, these undies are designed to give support without being too tight, which means they aren’t restrictive when running, walking, or working out. The flat seams and fast-drying fabric help make them chafe-free, bounce-free, and ready for your longest and fastest runs.

If you like to wear short shorts when you’re running, you may like these Pair of Thieves trunks. The super short inseam ensures that you won’t feel constricted and can help reduce the feeling of bulkiness while wearing multiple layers.

These consistently rank as some of the top plus-sized underwear. They are super stretchy, breathable, and won’t roll or bunch while you wear them. They are higher-coverage, which some people find more comfortable than thongs for wearing all day or hiking. They also have a seamless design that prevents it from chafing even at your most active.

If you want your choice in color and pattern, these Jockeys are the way to go. But self-expression isn’t all they have to offer—these moisture-wicking undies are made of a super smooth, fast-drying material that keeps you dry down there while you’re sweating everywhere else. It also features mesh panels to let you breathe where your skin needs it most.

If you prefer something more full-coverage, consider these boy short briefs. Made with bamboo, they are naturally cooling and moisture-wicking, and they’re a more sustainable option than synthetic blends. Unlike some boy shorts, customers claim that this underwear actually stays put and doesn’t roll up when moving.

While you may be a boxer brief kind of guy on the day to day, a true brief may work better for working out because it has less fabric, which keeps you cooler. These undies don’t extend down the leg so they can’t bunch up under tights or pants.

These use a blend of micro modal and spandex to create an incredibly lightweight and breathable feel, as well as chafe-free seams that prevent any discomfort on the inner thigh.
