Back in 2012, I bought a dozen Izod boxer briefs that ended up lasting me a decade (four are still in good shape). I replaced them with Bonds but they’ve turned out to be rubbish: all stretched elastic and crotch tears.
Can anybody recommend a good brand of men’s underwear? I don’t mind paying for quality. I do mind paying for mediocrity.

Takes about a week to arrive from the UK but great quality and worth the wait. Been using them for decades.
Agree. I get all my socks and grundies from Next.
Sweet… a tank top vest
Yeah they are good, I bought some a year or 2 ago from a recommendation on here and they are all still in good condition
Can be worth waiting for a Tommy Hilfiger sale, they had 3 packs for $26 (usually $100) last boxing day.
I bought some Bonds mid last year and the TH ones at black friday, the TH ones are definitely nicer. Bit too soon to tell how they're holding up.
EC's post from a decade ago still going strong (working through the packs). https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/163067
Strange looking willy pocket on those things? :)
It will change your life.
Is the pouch relatively loose, while still supportive? I tend to wear loose underwear nowadays, because I dislike the sensation of having my bits pushed back into my body, does this brand solve this problem?
these are really awkward to get a boner in
much prefer the pouch in BN3TH Classic Icon Boxer Brief if i want a sung fit can size down but even the regular size holds it in position surprisingly well
Used to wear Bonds, they become rubbish, now CK and always on sale.
Thanks for all the responses. Nice to see quality unmentionables mentioned.
UNIQLO do great ones.
I buy CK for the brand, however the quality has gone into the sh1tter as of late. Getting holes in some after 1 year of use.
I buy CK for the brand
Odd.
Calvin Klein isn't a designer label anymore. It was sold to the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation and basically get royalties for sticking their logo on third party produced garments.
Tommy Hilfiger is the exact same thing. Hence their vast ranging quality differences and constant sales/outlet stock. Not to mention the Tommy Hilfiger Gaming 3 In 1 Combo Set Keyboard.
I have been wearing UNIQLO loose-fitting boxers for years now, and they are great for everyday wear. But I find they tend to bunch up awkwardly during exercise.
Brand because of Back to the Future?
Boody has been my default for years
'crotch tears.'
Stop rubbing them on things?
Still using Step One and Tackle here but as others have said the Step Ones aint what they used to be.
I'm disappointed in the durability of Aussie Bum & Mossman.
I've got Mundo Unico (Columbian) that are 10 years old and still going strong & super comfy/supportive. Unfortunately the price has increased 400% in that time.
By the time I learn from experience if a particular underwear will last or not, they don't make it anymore.
Aldi recently had some underwear packs on sale. Might be worth trying.
I never buy at more than 5 for $15.
I bought Kmarts about six months ago, and all gone, lost elasticity
My 10yo+ Bonds just keep on keeping on, so I just bought an other 5 pack, hoping against hope that they aren 't defrauding the consumer like everyone else
Check out debriefs. I think I saw a deal on here for them. Super comfy, has a flap to use rather than having to pull the waist band down. Going strong after a few years.
Hugo Boss are the most comfortable and longest lasting i've found. Very good quality cotton, much better than CK. Cheap when on clearance at David Jones, think I paid less than $20 for a 3 pack last time.

Not cheapies but these are comfy. Quality that lasts. AFAIK, no other undies holds your sack like these.
I started out wearing the bamboo but found the polyester version last longer without much difference in comfort.
Zero international delivery if you spend over US$35
@silverham
I always wait for their sales Fathers Day was 30% off. Bought 5x3” trunks for us$90 delivered. Yeah still pricey but I like them :)
Jockey - microfibre. Last for years and no chafing.
I commented on a similar thread a while ago. UnderArmour Men's Tech have been game changers for me. Super light material and haven't seen anything else like them.
Have been wearing them for years.
Please explain to us exactly what game these underwear change and to what effect?
Once you go Commando, you'll never go back - comfortable, very cheap, and last a lifetime.
i've tried a lot of loose boxers in my time absolutely nothing comes near the comfort of these nicelaundry pants and shorts so good i use them as underwear
loose boxers and commando always give me 100-1000s of friction boners throughout the day but nicelaundry lines their shorts pants with modal fabric when used as underwear the outer material is slippery so doesn't bunch up against pants
no more awkward tents
May I have some of your happy tents? I can no longer make my own. =(
Men wear the same undies for 13 years they're 'still good'
They're not.
Just one more wear. The band elastic still forms a full loop!
been wearem step one for a couple years now but quality has really decreased.
would say they now have a half life of one year… replacem 50% of my rotation each March so looking for recommendations also
