Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one who prefers cotton boxers to synthetic boxer briefs. Pros of the cotton boxer: * More breathable * Less scratchy * Less "death grip on your junk"-y * A lot less expensive Cons: * I guess they dry slower, so if you need to hang dry your underwear and have them be dry by the next morning, you'd have to use synthetic? But that's about it I've tried synthetic boxer briefs from ex oficio, duluth trading trading, meundies, calvin klein, saxx... They are all categorically worse than plain cotton boxers.

I'm 100% the same, and I find it weird too. I got chatting with my friends recently who are big fans of Meundies and I mentioned cotton boxers and they looked at me funny because briefs were so much more popular.

> prefers cotton boxers to synthetic boxer briefs. Modal is beech tree fibre and cotton. It doesn't seem super synthetic to me, although some argue chemical treatment of the tree fibres make it that way: https://www.thespruce.com/how-to-wash-modal-clothes-2145794 https://www.thespruce.com/how-to-wash-modal-clothes-2145794 I don't subscribe to MU by the way, I collected t shirts and one point and used to date a girl with a textiles degree. I had one t-shirt that felt magical, she told me it was modal and I learnt what it was. Now I buy cheap modal t shirts and underwear from Amazon.

  Ooo I should try this. I got modal sheets and a modal comforter a few months ago, so silky smooth.

  Modal is just Rayon no? I had the same misconception about "hemp fabric", turns out these exotic "natural fabrics" are just Rayon made using a novel source of cellulose.

I agree with you. But after age 35 or so, I suggest you'll actively seek out undies that grip your junk firmly. Far preferable to accidentally sitting on your testicles. Gravity + time.
