    I started with briefs, went to boxer briefs, but they rode up my leg all the time so I tried boxesr and didn't like them much for every day wear. I went back to briefs, but the wife told me I could not wear white ones so I wear colored briefs. As for the whole chaffing thing, it happens no matter what unddies, that's life.

    whatever I find hanging on the neighbor's clothes line when I'm skulking around back yards late at night
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    Doug, I do NOT want to know why your wife doesn't let you wear white ones...

    Duluth Trading Buck Naked boxer briefs in summer. Cotton in the winter. Never had em ride up. Just plain old duofold long undies in winter when it gets below 30°.

    Edit:The boxer briefs they sell at Target do ride up. They have elastic in the leg cuffs. Nasty. Chucked those out.

    I guess I should answer my own question, eh?

    Wore "tighty-whitys" for years, because I like things to stay "in place." But since most ladies don't like them, I decided to try other things. Never cared for boxers (too loose for my taste).Tried boxer briefs, which I liked for a while, but then once they got broken in, it seemed like they'd bunch up in uncomfortable ways. These days I'm on bikini briefs, which so far seem to be the most comfortable of everything I've tried. They keep things "in place," but the waist is cut a bit lower, which means it tends to not bind up with the waist of my pants. They're also quite small and light, which is nice for packing. For the ladies, they also come in a variety of colors, without the uncool "access port" in the front. The ones I wear are cotton, but I'd be interested to try something like Underarmor or similar.

    I've never had anyone call the 'access port' uncool or frown at tighty whities (wore those all through school and college). Guess the girls I've known just weren't hung up on the undies...
    Hmmm... you mean I could be married by now if I wore blue bikini briefs?
    Nah. Not worth it.

    Synthetic boxer briefs. Nice and dry. No chaffing or wadding. Try 'em.

    None.

    I used to wear "Recon" skivies so called because they keep sneaking "UP" on me and putting me in a bind. I have tried them all except for a thong and I refused to go there.

    SEA 1965-66, 1968-69-70 convinced me they are not required.

    I always thought if I get in an accident no matter how clean they were before the accident they wouldn't be clean after one.

    I like boxer briefs. I agree after a few months they can get too loose and start riding up on you. However I tend to buy new underwear frequently enough that that doesn't become an issue. I've been that way since The Horrendous Elastic Band Failure of 1988.I also only buy black, dark grey or some other color, never white. I read an article that a guy got shot in the backside while answering a call of nature while deer hunting because another hunter mistook his tighty whiteys for a Whitetail deer's white tail.

    The absolute best, warmest, and longest lasting long johns and thermal undershirts I have are made by Odlo, a Norwegian or Swiss company.
    I got a few sets nine years ago and they are still going strong! And I wear them daily for six months out of the year. Had to replace a few elastics and fix up a couple of seams, but from the looks of them, they'll last another nine years. Excellent, excellent quality and very warm as soon as you put them on.

    Long underwear that's nine years old and still strong conjures up pictures I really don't think I want to think about.

    I generally wear mine until they turn religious.
