Promising review: "These are some of the best underwear you can buy! They are extremely well-constructed with flattened seams that provide a seamless look when wearing more form-fitting clothing. Parts of the garment are double-layered to provide moisture protection and aeration so they never feel hot and uncomfortable. And to get them at a lower price was a bonus. This was my third time purchasing these, and they will continue to be my go-to brief." —Sherryl C

Boody is a small biz that makes sustainable, breathable basics made of bamboo viscose.

Promising review: "OMG I’m so in love with these undies. They are soft and super comfortable to wear. Since discovering these undies I’ve ditched all other types of undies and only wear these now. I live in a hot sweaty climate and used to change my undies frequently throughout the day, but don’t have to anymore. They not only seem to absorb the sweat but odor as well. Will continue to purchase more and more." —Sandra R.

"I bought a couple of pairs of these last year and they were so comfy and soft, washed really well, and quickly became the fave panties I am constantly searching for in my lingerie drawer! Have just bought a multipack and am slowly working towards replacing my entire lingerie drawer with this stuff. They are expensive but sooo worth it. Especially for someone who gets constant yeast infections, this has stopped happening with this breathable and antibacterial fabric which regulates temperature. Love love love this brand! Only thing I will say is that the sizing is a little on the small side so maybe order a size bigger than you usually would." —Katiepie

Get it from Boody for $13.95+ (available in sizes XS–4XL, eight core colors, limited edition colors, and with the option to build your own pack).

Promising review: "COVID has caused some strange times for all of us. For me, it means I can't wear my normal scrubs at work and have to wear crappy hospital-issued ones, and that I can't go get my usual Brazilian wax. A combination of those things with the summer heat has meant a lot of uncomfortable sweating while I constantly run around at work. All of that sweat just sits on my skin in my groin and within two hours of starting work, I'd absolutely reek. It was horrible and embarrassing. It smelled like something died in my crotch. I didn't think a simple change in underwear material would be so effective, but my god. It's night and day. Even in my cruddy non-breathing standard issue scrub pants, these undies wick the sweat away from the hair so that stinky bacteria don't have a chance to multiply. I might slightly smell of sweat, but I don't stink at all any more even on my busiest of days. These have been a total life saver. I highly recommend them." —Cheri H.

Get a pack of six on Amazon for $15.44+ (available in sizes 5–13, plus sizes here, and multiple styles and pack sizes).

Subset is a woman-owned small business that makes sustainable, elevated underwear. As part of their recycling program, you can send back any pair of underwear (yes, any pair), and receive a free pair of underwear with your next order.

Promising review: "100% satisfied with these undies! They are stretchy, soft, and breathable. I had surgery a few days ago and was physically unable to switch out my bottoms until the next afternoon, but these truly kept me fresh regardless! The comfort is amazing. They do not dig in and lay smooth on the edges. I wear a size 16 pant and went with XXL for extra room. Love these!!!" —Lindsey B.

Get it from Subset for $20 (available in sizes 2XS–3XL and eight core colors; limited edition and clearance colors vary).

If you love cotton underwear, we have a whole list for you right here.

Promising review: "I love these underwear. They are so comfortable. They don’t roll, bunch, pinch, wedge, they don’t create moisture which plagued me with jock itch in my old cottons. Everything stays in place. Stays in place without a tight feeling. Sure, they cost more, but quality always does. I don’t think I will ever wear anything else. I have heard about some durability issues. I have been wearing them for three months with no issues." —Richard S.

Get it from Tommy John for $18 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 14 colors/designs).

Huha is a woman-owned small biz that makes thoughtful underwear made with natural materials.

Promising review: "These are the most comfortable underwear that I own! Even though the briefs are granny panties I guess by definition, I like the cut of them so much. I have a short torso and hip dips and the briefs are cut pretty much perfectly where they cover but feel close to the skin and don't get baggy or dank even when I wore them a few days in a row while sweating bullets with fever. The anti-bacterial quality of these works! I can't recommend these enough. Absolutely worth every penny." —Miki Foster

Get it from Huha for $24 (available in sizes 2XS–3XL and five core colors; limited edition colors may vary).

Promising review: "As a nurse, I’ve been searching for years now for underwear that is not only comfortable and breathable, but that also does not show any panty lines while wearing under scrubs. I used to buy VS seamless panties but they would fall apart quick in the wash and other brands don’t breathe, which is imperative to healthy lady bits (especially while running around a busy hospital and sweating). But these are perfect! You can’t see any panty lines, even under the thinnest of scrub brands, and they breathe so well! I haven’t had any issues with swamp butt even when driving in a hot leather seated car in 90+ degree weather, and then working a 12 hr shift. They also seem to so far also hold up well to regular washer and dryer use. I will definitely order more." —Cassie

Get a pack of five from Amazon for $16.99+ (originally $25.99, available in sizes XS–XL and 10 color packs).

Promising review: "I purchased these because I was looking for something to help control moisture. I work in a factory where it gets very hot during the summer. Cotton underwear left me feeling like I was peeling off a wet bathing suit. Yuck! These keep me much drier and do not stick to my body. They are super silky and soft. They do not shrink much and are fairly true to size. Maybe just a tad on the large side and have a good amount of stretch to them. I would love to see more styles. I'd wear them all the time and not just for work if so." —TamithaLynn

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in sizes XS-3XL and different colors, also available in packs of 3 and 5).

Promising review: "I was looking for good moisture-wicking underpants and I have finally found my match. I have always had trouble with my underbelly being super sweaty in summer and these panties have very well prevented that in the past two weeks (we had some hot and sweaty 90° days). They are soft and comfortable to wear and don't pinch either. I already bought a second five-pack, this time in color. Love them!" —Christina Hopkins

Ejis is a small biz dedicated to making sweatproof clothing.

Promising review: "Trust me when I say that not only is this product superior in quality, there is simply nothing else like it on the market. I simply do not know what I would do without these as a solution to my hyperhidrosis issues. Not only do they stop sweat from coming through to my clothing, they are not bulky, noticeable in any way to others, and are fashionable. Solid customer for life here!" —Damon M

Promising review: "I spend a lot of time outside, whether walking, hiking, or taking a multi-day backpacking trip. I hate the feeling of going commando, but I also hate the feeling of sweaty undies. These are comfortable and breathable, great for working out, and don't gather sweat like a traditional cotton panty. Also, you never feel like you have a wedgie with these, so that's a huge plus." —J DOLL

Promising review: "Often, when I purchase bulk underwear, 80% of them fall apart after a few weeks. Not these!

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–5XL and 13 color packs).

Promising review: "I prefer cotton underwear but couldn’t find any that weren’t too tight around my thighs. Everything would cut into my thigh and cause ingrown hairs. This has really helped me and even without it being cotton, it is such a light material that it breathes well — so no heat/unnecessary sweat. I love it!!" —Samantha Castro

They're soft, flattering, breathable, perfectly sized, and are incredibly comfortable. Just buy them. They fit like they were made for me. Lil' angel hands cupping my booty throughout the day. Cons: None. Literally. Summary: Buy these! Your tushy will thank you." —Sarah Thomas

I have a pair of these and they're truly my go-to pair of underwear! They're buttery smooth and so comfortable I forget I'm wearing them. I can also attest to the fact they're actually invisible under leggings! Awkward panty lines? Never heard of her. They also carry *really* comfy sports bras to match, BTW!
