This four-pack of boxers from classic brand Fruit of the Loom are so comfortable, they’ve earned over 50,000 five-star ratings and reviews from happy Amazon customers. They’re tagless and made from a soft, smooth microfiber with a breathable cotton gusset, and the wider elastic at the waist ensures that they’ll stay put. A hemline that hits just below the top of the thigh offers great coverage.

Positive review: “I'm so particular about my underwear & these fit the bill perfectly. They are seamless & don't pinch at the legs. They're totally comfy. They also have a wide crotch so coverage is good without being binding. And they're very soft. I recommend them, especially for plus sized ladies!”

These boxer briefs are short, seamless, and made of a smooth blend of polyester, nylon, and spandex, so they’ll fit effortlessly underneath pants or skirts. With so many adorable colors, though, you might want to show them off as loungewear at home. At under $25 for a pack of five, you’re getting a great deal, too.

Positive review: “These are extremely comfortable, I don't even realize I have them on. They are seamless, can't see them on any of the different types of pants (including yoga)”

Sizes: Small — 4X-Large | Colors: 5 | Material: 65% Nylon, 30% Polyester, 5% Spandex

— Also available on Champion, $9

These boy shorts from Champion feature a short inseam and a sporty, logo-emblazoned waistband, which would look so cute peeking out of the top of your waistband, if you’re into the throwback low-rise jean trend. (Is it just me, or does anything with a Champion logo make you feel like a celebrity circa 1997?) Whether you wear them as loungewear or underwear, they’re tagless for itch-free wear, and the stretchy cotton material will be oh-so-comfy.

Positive review: “Very comfortable, I don't like panties that ride and these definitely make me feel comfortable. Will be buying again!”

— Also available on TomboyX, $25

These boxers by gender-inclusive brand TomboyX are made from 95% cotton, so they’ll be breathable, plus 5% spandex to keep their shape and hug your body. They feature a 4.5-inch inseam that prevents ride-up, and the flatlock seams keep chafing at bay. As an added bonus, you’ll be supporting a queer-founded brand that strives for sustainability in sourcing and fair wages for its factory workers.

Positive review: “These briefs are so comfortable that you will not want to go back to your prior underwear brands. I thought they were pricey at first and then once I wore them I realized they were worth the price, great quality, and would buy more. I haven’t found them comfortable to wear with jeans that are tight fitting, as they’re a bit too thick for that, but for underneath typical pants that are a little looser fit, shorts and roomy exercise pants, they are excellent. I highly recommend!”

Sizes: X-Small — 6X-Large | Colors: 8 | Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex

These short satin boxers are a little sweet and a little seductive, with their satiny shimmer and ever-so-slightly slouchy fit (plus side pockets). To feel like the star of a romantic comedy (while you watch one), pair with chunky socks and an oversized sweatshirt — or turn up the heat and wear these with a lacy, longline bralette. The dove gray shade is an elegant choice, but you have 17 solids and patterns to choose from, including convenient packs of two.

Positive review: “Absolutely love this pj shorts! I wasn't sure what to expect, but the fabric feels lovely, the quality is high...beautifully constructed and they have pockets (which I didn't realize when ordering). They are so comfortable to sleep or lounge in. The [...] waistband is very comfortable and stable (does not twist/turn). I ordered in 3 colors and will be keeping all three. Highly recommend!!”

Sizes: Small — XX-Large | Colors: 17 | Material: 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex

Because they’re so comfortable, you’ll want to buy them twice. These Bombas Pride trunks are available in a two-pack that includes a black pair with colorful Pride stitching and a white and tie-dyed pair. Both are constructed from Bombas' classic use of cotton, modal, and a touch of elastane. Note that the tie-dyed pair will look uniquely different than all other tie dye pairs due to Bombas’ variable dyeing process.

Positive review: “Very comfy, and fits perfectly. Gone through a couple of washes already, and they haven't lost any quality. Would definitely recommend.”

If you want a pair of boxers that look like they were literally stolen from a man, check out these DKNY boxers. The seaming in front adds a borrowed-from-the-boys touch, the hemline hits the top of the thigh, and the stretchy cotton-modal fabric is characteristically minimalist. These would be so cute with a sweatshirt and chunky socks, or paired with a sports bra for a jog.

Positive review: “I liked these so much I bought them a second time. They’re just comfortable and fit perfect. They are my favorite pair of underwear and I’ll probably be coming back to buy more soon.”

These period boy shorts are equipped with a non-bulky, absorbent core that can hold up to two tampons’ worth of liquid, so it’ll offer extra protection if your flow is very heavy, or it can do away with the need to wear a tampon or pad, depending on your preference. These short boxers are made with a supremely soft combination of cotton and bamboo rayon — one of the most breathable materials out there — along with spandex for stretch, and the wide waistband stays in place. They come in convenient packs of two or four, along with singles.

Positive review: “I was freaked out by the concept of these at first but since switching to a copper IUD my periods can be unexpectedly heavy and tampons/pads were not doing it [...] so I decided to try these out. They are amazing and soooo comfortable! The extra layers of fabric don't add almost any bulk or sag like a heavy pad would [...] I was able to wear them around on a heavy day with no leakage or anything. Throw them in soapy water at the end of the day and let them soak overnight. never had an issue with odor.”

Positive review: “I literally got these delivered 5 minutes ago by UPS, and as soon as I put them on, they were so comfortable and fit so perfect, I went and ordered 3 more pair! [...] Plenty of room to be comfortable. Not even close to being tight, nice stretchy material, great for wearing around the house and sleeping in.”

Positive review: “These are the best sleep shorts ever!! I wear them under long sleep shirts. They are so light weight, perfect for this summer heat.

— Also available on Woxer, $22

Woxer designs their boxers specifically for women, and this pair features a longer, 9-inch inseam for extra comfort and versatility. That long length means it won’t ride up; it also means you can pair these with a sweatshirt, thick socks, and some chunky white sneakers for an homage to Princess Diana. The loose-fitting, anti-chafe waistband is perfect for the compression-avoidant, and since they’re designed for women, you won’t have to worry about any seams bothering your sensitive areas. The 95% modal material also feels buttery soft against your skin, and it’s naturally breathable and moisture-wicking.

Positive review: “Holy moly. I should have bought 10 pairs. Actually, I'm probably going to. MOST comfortable underwear I have EVER worn. I could easily wear a dress with them and not have the chub rub. I even forgot I was wearing them throughout the day.”

Sizes: Small — 3X-Large | Colors: 10 | Material: 95% Modal, 5% Elastane

— Also available on Spanx, $22

These Spanx boy shorts are like a gravity blanket in underwear form. Made with the brand’s signature stretchy compression fabric, these are perfect for wearing underneath skirts or pants to create a smooth line underneath your clothes, while flat leg openings, top-of-the-thigh hemline, and a control-top waistband prevent annoying bunching. But don’t let that stop you from lounging in these all on their own. They are called the “Everyday Boyshort,” after all. Try them with a cropped T-shirt for lounge perfection.

Positive review: “I LOVE these. I have a few pairs and they go under anything. Because they are a higher cut boy short style, you could even wear them under pants. Just a little support and smooths everything out. They do ride up a teeny bit if you have a bigger butt, but then again, so does regular underwear. Highly suggest for good light support!”
