Comfortable Briefs – What Makes the Difference?

Short answer: Comfortable briefs come down to three things: a soft, breathable material, a fit that suits your body, and edges that stay where they should. Bamboo viscose delivers on all three, which makes it one of the most comfortable materials for briefs.

The material is half the comfort

Briefs sit directly against your skin all day, so the fabric has to be soft and able to carry moisture away. Bamboo viscose feels smoother than cotton and keeps you dry, which prevents that clammy feeling. See the whole selection of bamboo briefs.

The fit does the rest

Comfortable briefs should neither ride up nor leave red marks at the elastic. Choose the style according to your body shape and your clothes: hipster and maxi for everyday, tai when you want more leg. The guide find the right style of briefs will point you in the right direction, and if you are unsure about the size, use the size guide.

Sensitive skin makes extra demands

If your briefs itch or squeeze, the cause can be the material just as much as the size. Soft fibres and flat seams are gentle on the skin – read more in bamboo clothing for sensitive skin, and find more basics in bamboo underwear for women.

Frequently asked questions

Which material is the most comfortable in briefs?

Bamboo viscose is among the softest materials for briefs and at the same time keeps the skin dry, which many people find more comfortable than cotton.

Why do my briefs ride up?

Most often because the size or the style does not suit your body shape. Try one size up or a style with a wider leg opening, for example a hipster.

How many pairs of briefs should you have?

A good rule of thumb is 10-14 pairs in rotation. Then they wear evenly, and you always have clean, comfortable briefs ready.
