The Most Comfortable Underwear, Hands Down

CUUP has built a cult following around its comfortable and minimal bras, myself included—but the brand’s underwear is not to be overlooked. I reach for this bikini style on most days, thanks to its whisper-soft modal fabric and ultra-forgiving stretch. They’re comfy enough to sleep in, but the cut is super flattering, too. Don’t want to take my word for it? Perusing the 650+ five-star reviews on CUUP’s site should be pretty convincing.

Conscientious shoppers love this brand for its inclusive designs, breathable cotton fabric, and commitment to sustainability and ethical manufacturing. (You can even check out the full supply chain journey on the brand’s site.) Our pro tip? Stock up and save—you can get bundles of these briefs (up to 20!) for a serious discount, while ensuring that your underwear drawer will never go empty.

The words “comfortable” and “thong” don’t always overlap, but they definitely come together in this second-skin offering from SKIMS. Take your pick from core and limited edition colors.

For light days, heavy days, and everything in between, these leakproof undies are hard to beat. You’d never know it from the ultra-light modal fabric, but this style holds up to 8 tsp of liquid—all while staying dry-to-touch and odor-free.

If you haven’t ventured into Bombas’ product offering beyond the brand’s cult-beloved socks, this is your sign—and it shouldn’t be any surprise that a comfort-first approach carries over to Bombas’ undergarments. These boxers are touchably soft, breathable, and seamless under clothes.

It’s hard to oversell just how soft the micro-modal fabric is on these boy shorts—same with the ridiculously flattering, high-waisted, mini bike short silhouette. Wear these as pajamas on balmy nights, or layer up to stay cozy.

Whether you’re heading out on a run, downward-dogging in yoga, or simply looking for something comfy to wear while errand-hopping, this underwear is designed to be on the go—complete with moisture-wicking, breathable fabric, and seams that don’t dig in as you move.

Finding undies to transition with your changing body during both pregnancy and postpartum isn’t always an easy task—and finding something cute is all the more challenging. But Bodily does it with its All-In Panty, which is made in a high-stretch micromodal fabric, and is soft enough to be worn post-c-section.

Natori is my longtime go-to for sexier occasions—offering the ultimate pick of styles that are fun to wear and look at, but still pass the comfort check. (These French-inspired, vintage-esque briefs are a great example.)
