Recently, I acquired a pair of fabulous underwear, the Ex Officio Give-N-Go boycut brief:
PRODUCT: Womens Give-N-Go® Boy Cut Brief (2241-0078) CATEGORY: Bottoms
I'm so in love. They're stretchy, comfy, and the best part? They're made with a quick-drying material, so I can handwash them and they're dry in a couple of hours (this requires a little work: the underwear must be wrapped up in a towel, then you stand on the rolled-up towel to extract as much water as possible). They also don't get as stinky as some of my other underwear--they've got an odor-resistant finish. I'll be getting some more (and no, I didn't pay full price, I got them off of a website called SteepandCheap--if you like outdoor gear at good discounts check it out). The other upshot is that my SO is in love with the cut.
So thinking about my underwear made me wonder--what do you look for in a good pair? Do you have any brands you prefer over others? What cut do you favor? How important is comfort to you in choosing underwear?
Comfort is key to me. My underwear drawer is mostly a mix of Victoria's Secret v-string bikinis and ItseBitse briefs from Costco. I like both brands because they wear well and they're comfortable. There are a few sexy pairs, but they don't get worn often because of the comfort factor. I don't really favor any particular cut.
So let's hear from you!
