10 Best Men’s Underwear Packs for Every Budget

It’s always a breeze to buy a simple multi-pack of underwear. No need to try anything on -- just check the size, grab it, and go!

But even in moments of such unrivaled convenience, you should still consider certain aspects of your purchase. After all, who wants to be sitting at home with a pack of undies they hate? Especially since we all know returning products to the store is never convenient.

So what are the most important factors to consider when shopping for men’s packs of underwear?

For starters you want to know the brand you’re purchasing stands for quality. Go for a name you’ve heard of and trust. You’ll also want to check the label for the materials used, confirm the number of pairs included, inspect the picture on front for the fit (while keeping in mind your own body type and how the style depicted may look a bit different on you), and the meaning of any logos.

Once you’ve covered these, you’ll be in a great place to make your final decision on men’s underwear packs.

By reflecting on brands you know and trust, comfort is most assured, as is durability. A flattering cut/color/style should be depicted on the package, so you can easily imagine how the undies will look on you. And are they tagless? This should be indicated on the package as well, and the best news is that more and more brands are recognizing the need to make comfortably itch-free, tag-free underwear -- so you’re more likely than ever to find it!

In this guide, we’ll show you how to shop for your underwear pack, and give you our picks for the best underwear packs for men.

What to Look Out For When Choosing the Best Underwear Packs for Men

When you reach for that pack, you’ll want to inspect it for a few items to make sure you’re making your best purchase.

As mentioned earlier, the brand name should bring recognizable quality in the form of comfort and durability, and the packaging should indicate a flattering style/color and a (hopefully) tagless option for optimal comfort.

Comfort

As we’ve said, your best bet for men’s underwear packs will most likely follow the name of a well-known brand. This is true with comfort, first and foremost. A truly comfy pair of men’s undies should hold your junk in place without pinching or binding, stay smooth underneath your clothes without bunching, and comprise an overall soft, flexible, fabric blend.

Modal is one example of such a fabric, while cotton is another, and these fabrics are often found in combination with others (i.e. modal with elastane, as found in the packs recommended below.)

Flattering Cut/Color/Style

Go for a flattering cut and color by checking the picture on the package. Although you may not be an exact replica of the model depicted (most of us aren’t), you can still imagine whether the cut will enhance your body’s best features.

If possible, go for darker colors or patterns instead of whites, too. Grab the grays and blacks if they have any. They keep their color better over time, and won’t get dingy like whites will.

Durable

Another trait typically carried by a well-known and beloved brand name is durability. You don’t want underwear that falls apart or gets holes in it within the first two weeks of purchase. Going for a brand you’ve heard of and respect should eliminate this worry, even if they’re sold in packaged quantities.

Once again, Calvin Klein brings this easy recognition and the cozy cotton stretch we all appreciate. This set below comes with 8 choices of colors in the 2-Pack to boot.

Tagless

Adding a tag to the back of a pair of underwear is nearly a thing of the past, and with good reason. The itchy, annoying feeling of a tag in the center of one’s back can have you scratching at it, uncomfortable and distracted all day long -- and all just to tell you the size of your drawers.

We think a simple tagless option makes more sense, and this can be accomplished in several ways. Our favorites below have no tag in the back, just a tagless print of the size and washing instructions, and a sewn brand tag facing out on front (as shown). Much better!

Top 10 Best Underwear Packs For Men

1. Tommy John Men's Second Skin Trunks - 3 Pack

Delicious fabric: Indulge yourself from the moment you put these on as their 90% micro modal, 10% spandex blend pulls every square inch it touches into a soft, stretchy bliss. Bathroom breaks are a breeze with the quick draw fly, and the contour pouch gives your junk a little hug and holds it gently in place throughout the day. We suggest getting the pack with all 3 in grey, although you could opt for a 3-Pack of black, white, and grey instead.

The problem with these is that larger men have experienced rolling up at the legs and rolling down at the waist. Go a size bigger if you think this might happen to you.

2. David Archy Men's 3 Pack Ultra Soft Breathable Bamboo Rayon Boxer Briefs

Soft, supportive, odor-resistant:  So light and breathable, you’ll forget you’re wearing these. A perfect combination of 95% bamboo rayon and 5% spandex gives extraordinary permeability. The 3-D pouch separates and loosely swaddles, keeping everything in its place whether you’re working out, kicked back in the recliner, or grinding out another day at the office. Comes with 10 rich color combos in the 3-packs, including dark grey, olive, navy, and black. Get them with or without a fly.

3. Pair of Thieves Men's 3 Pack Mega Soft Trunks

Ultimate comfort minus a (somewhat necessary) pouch: Stretch out in all directions while you enjoy the chafe-less flatlock seams of these mega soft modal trunks. Remarkable breathability and plenty of leg room. These offer better support than some brands.

One negative aspect: For those accustomed to enjoying a pouch, you’ll notice the absence in these.

4. Natural Feelings Mens Boxer Briefs Soft Cotton Open Fly Underwear

Stretchy soft with a perfect pouch: The feel and stretch of these will impress, especially after the first wash when they get uber soft. Even the waist band softens up. You’ll experience no pilling, and the color stays true with these 95% cotton gems.

Some have bragged about tossing them into the dryer and having no issues. This is not recommended. The instructions say to hand wash cold and air dry — no dryer involved at all. You should also avoid soaking for a long time and washing different colors together. We suggest following directions to increase the longevity of this economical brand. Comes in several variations of color per pack, some with 5 pairs and some with 7 pairs.

5. Adidas Men's Sport Performance Climalite Boxer Brief Underwear

Great for athletes: Moisture-wicking and non-chafing, these were designed with the active gents in mind. The superior stretch of polyester and spandex makes them ideal for workouts, and the double mesh pouch holds the goods in place while you move as you wish. Comes in packs of two with so many varieties, you may have trouble choosing.

The only problem we’ve noted is the likelihood to wear out when regularly dried in the dryer. We think air drying in the sun is sufficient and should keep these in prime condition much longer.

6. ExOfficio Men's Give-N-Go Boxer

Odor-free, quick-drying: An Amazon Best Seller in Men’s Outdoor Recreation Underwear, these undies are geared for the active fellas. Whether your adventures take you rock climbing, fly fishing, or doing yoga poses in air conditioning, these Give-N-Go are perfect if you like a roomier fit than boxer briefs.

Microbial Silvadur technology keeps them odor-free, and they should stay in good shape for you as long as you wash by hand and air dry. These should dry in 2 - 4 hours if hung in a proper moisture-free space. Get 2-Packs in Granite/Bolero Red and Granite/Admiral Blue.

Be certain these are the stellar quality ExOfficio’s you know and love when yours arrive. If you receive a knock-off variety, return them. You deserve the bonafide brand name!

7. Hugo Boss Men's 3-Pair 100% Cotton Boxer Shorts

Delightfully cozy with sporty Hugo Boss waistband: Smooth, breathable cotton in comfortable Hugo Boss style in a 3-Pack. The contour pouch is superbly woven while the seat is seamless and the fabric quality is high. You’ll know you’ve got on the very best when you pull these on for the day. Some reported these were fine to put in the dryer and did not shrink as well, but we’d rather you follow the washing instructions.

The only downside is that some reported their fabric seemed thin but was ok overall. Check yours out upon receiving and return them if you think something’s wrong.

8. 5Mayi Men's Cotton Underwear Pack

Wide, tagfree waistband and double stitched durability: The waistband is extra wide with firm elastic to keep everything comfortably in place. Natural fabric of 95% cotton, 5% spandex allows for just enough stretchiness but no ride-up. Tagless and itch-free. Available in 5 sizes and 17 color/style varieties in packs of 5, 6, and 7 pairs.

Handle these with care. The downside is they can tear and wear out easily after a few washes. We think hand washing and air drying may help with that.

9. Dolce & Gabbana Men's Day by Day Bi-Pack Regular Boxer

Nicely designed for larger men: Comprised of cotton and elastane, these imported Italian beauts are well-loved for their colors and fabric. Great for bigger guys. Perfectly sewn with a beautifully contoured pouch. Fine for machine washing on cold, but please do take the time to air dry these so they stay in good condition. Choose a 2-Pack of grey or white.

The only downside we could find is the price. Despite all the strong features, these still seem a bit on the expensive side to most shoppers. Also make sure you want to keep them before you open the package. Refunds are only offered if garments are kept in their original packaging, unworn, and unwashed with tags still attached.

10. Under Armour Men's Tech 6-inch Boxerjock 2-Pack

Gorgeous colors: Get a 2-Pack of these in eye-catching combinations of black, maroon, canyon green, cherry red, grey, royal, and navy.

You’re gonna love these. Silky smooth fabric with moisture-wicking and anti-odor tech, they’re highly breathable with a handy working fly and 6 inch inseam.

The sad part? Some feel these run a little small; go a size bigger if you think this might happen to you
