My top picks as well as review updates below.
Update — I decided to do a rearrangement of the underwear in my leader-board based on what I see as the largest factor in whether or not the underwear is the best. This factor is a simple question. If I have a drawer full of underwear which one am I grabbing 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. The "pick test" really for me is the most important test. I can have a pair of underwear that scores high in all the objective marks, but if it isn't the first one I am going to grab I should call that out.
I do want to make one thing clear though. Any underwear in the top picks I highly recommend. You can't go wrong with any of them.
There are a couple of newcomers to the top picks. Calvin Klein Steel made it due to extreme comfort, and nice waistband. The only reason it didn't take the top spot was price. AIWENSI also made it. They need to work on marketing, because these should be top sellers.
#1 MyPakage — Weekday Boxer Briefs
These have amazing comfort that stays with them even when you walk over 17,000 steps. You can find them on amazon reasonably priced. The vendor has one of the better warranties that I have seen. For me, they have lived up to every promise that the manufacturer claims.
#2 Calvin Klein - Steel
Favable was right on the money with these as a top pick. They are insanely comfortable and have a waistband that I have grown to love. Stitching and design quality is some of the best I have seen. Versatility is top notch with these. These can be worn while doing an insane workout, or while just pounding away on a keyboard at the office.
#3 # Exofficio Men’s Give-N-Go Sport Mesh 9 inch
If I know that the only thing I am going to be doing is sweating for a period of time, these are the boxer briefs I am grabbing. Exofficio excels at pulling moisture as fast as possible away from your body. I have used these multiple times with 30,000+ step days, and they haven't let me down yet.
#4 AIWENSI - Micro Modal Long Leg Boxer Brief
If you need a "budget" pair of outstanding boxer briefs, these would be my top pick. They have all the same great comfort, cafe, and odor control as the rest of my top picks, but with the bonus of being the least expensive compared to the other full retail prices of the other top picks. You can see a difference in stitching and fabric cuts, but that doesn't change how well these perform.
#5 MeUndies — Men’s Boxer Briefs
To me, MeUndies lives in the same world as Apple. They have a limited product set and execute on it flawlessly. They are also one of the companies who provides excellent customer support. They do fall short as the waistbands will roll, and chafing occurs at higher step counts if they aren't sized correctly. So you will want to double-check your sizing, but once you get the right size, they are golden.
#6 David Archy Ultra Soft Bamboo Basic Boxer Brief
A ton of thought has gone into every aspect of these boxer briefs. Starting at the packaging, and going all the way down to the craftsmanship of tip of the penis pouch. The amount of attention put into these admirable. They excel at chafing control, comfort, and odor. However, they do come up a little short in the moisture department.
#7 Mack Weldon — Silver XT2
The Silver XT2s provide the some of the best comfort with no chafe. I have had 18,000+ step days. These hang on every step of the way. The leg bands can cause some discomfort issues. They are still my go-to underwear or put in my backpack as a backup. When I am researching reviews or other underwear, have failed me.
Thanks for sharing @datapotomus. I usally prefer Calvin Klein - Steel and MeUndies because it really comfortable to wear.
Doesn’t it depend on which order they went into the drawer?
