what is the best men's underwear to wear while in the amazon jungle? Should it be long underwear to protect from animals? are there any fabrics that are especially well suited?
During my research, I examined various webpages and discussions from Reddit and other websites, focusing on the best men's underwear for hot and humid conditions, such as the Amazon jungle. There was no strong consensus on a single best option, but several brands and materials were mentioned frequently. The sources did not directly address the need for long underwear to protect from animals, but they did provide valuable insights into materials and styles that are well-suited for hot and humid environments.

"The best boxer briefs — Typical Contents"
- “The best boxer briefs — Typical Contents” is a guide from a clothing blog called Typical Contents for finding the best pair of men’s boxer briefs.
- The team from Typical Contents bought and tested 13 pairs of underwear to find the best one for everyday wear.
- CDLP’s Boxer Brief came out as the best overall among the 13 tested pairs. It was the most comfortable and had excellent qualities such as light and stretchy lyocell material, an unusual sheen, a lack of fabric label, a moved off-center waistband seam, and Portuguese manufacture. After six months of weekly wear and wash, it remains durable.
- The price of £29 for a single pair can be lessened by purchasing multipacks or subscribing to CDLP’s Automatique subscription service.
- Sunspel Stretch Cotton Trunk is also a great option with qualities such as supportive and flattering fit, thicker and more substantial material than the CDLP, fabric label, remarkable quality, and durability. They’re also made in Portugal. Price: £28.
- UNIQLO Men’s Supima Cotton Boxer Brief is the budget pick with an excellent, close fit and almost as comfortable as the top picks. It’s less durable and has a fabric label. It’s made in Sri Lanka and costs £5.90.
- Other brands in the test include Everlane, TOM FORD, H&M, Derek Rose, Briefs, Joe Fresh, and Mack Weldon but fell short of the top picks.
