I won't mention other brands, but I own only 2 brands of underwear and now I have a solid third! I am super picky with how things feel on my skin. I grew up wearing a lot of itchy things with horrible elastic that dug I to your inner thighs. (It was the 70's and polyester was all the rage lol) Now in my mid 50's I'm all about comfort and I discovered bamboo and modal. I jumped on the but 1 get 2 deal and got 6 pairs of the modal boy shorts and to quote BTS "Smooth like butter." I was concerned about the boxer elastic waist, but if you like soft, light, full coverage undies, try the modal option. I promise, you can punch me if you find this not to be true.
