Soo.. What underwear are actually worth buying then? It doesn't seem like there are too many recommendations.
In a similar thread years ago there was a recommendation for Exofficio brand which I bought a few of to try out and have since replaced all of my underwear with. Their boxer briefs are fantastic.
I've gone with MeUndies after a sponsor spot in a YouTube video that was actually good. They do tons, like TONS of different designs. Pricey, but made extremely well. Plus, all of the packaging is recyclable.
They also have a subscription model that's literally just pairs for a discount monthly, and you can select a random design.
Been using me undies myself for just over 6 years. Theyre started to break down over the last year. One complaint i have is the purple lining they use for the elastic seems to leave a mark around my waist. I've been waring them inside out to accomidate.
I'll be trying some lttstore undies soon. Hopefully theyre similar quality but slightly longer lasting.
Schiesser is outlasting every other brand I've tried so far
Personally, I've been a fan of saxx. Expensive, but I'll try and get a new pair if I see them for half off.
To be honest, for everyday wear, I've got cheap costco brand underwear that's lasted me probably 200 wears. I only use non-cotton underwear for athletic activities, though, so that cuts down on a lot of wear and tear.
I've heard good things about Duluth trading company, but never tried them.
