Just ordered a couple of pairs of these. Definitely need more skivvies, so I may get some more if I end up liking them.

The AA ones are good, but I wish the legs were shorter (more trunk-style, less boxer-style).

If you can get to a Muji, their boxer briefs are pretty great for $9.50 or so. Lo-pro waistband, button fly, soft n stretchy.

2xist are a good value. Sure a little tacky as far as the waist band/branding but if you stick with the basic colors it's not such a big deal. Too bad that 40% off CK sale didn't include underwear.

these are what i bought last, from freshpair i think. i lik 'em a lot, slightly trimmer profile than the Polo Ralph Lauren ones i've typically bought in the past and seem to hold up much better too.

Icebreaker merino boxer briefs, hands down. Yeah they're $43, but holy **** are they comfortable. 3 pair is all you need for a week-long trip - they never really smell the way synthetic materials do.

they retail for $24 but at the right time of year you can find them on sale for $14 at bloomies

every cotton or cotton-blend that i've tried stretches out over the course of the day and gives wedgies. they also fade and/or pill. micro modal ck is the best i've found for the money so far

I disagree that all cotton/blend ones stretch out. I have some of the hanes comfort stretch which are a cotton blend (95cotton/5spandex) and they never stretch out during the day or ride up. Also they've yet to pill or fade so far. They're the best cheap option I've come across for trunks/boxerbriefs @ 2 for $10 (though I don't have access to a uniqlo or muji)
