As the title says, let's hear it. What's the best underwear type for you? I'm wearing boxer-briefs and while they are generally fine, I hate it when the legs roll up and start to pinch everywhere.

I prefer boxer-briefs.

I haven't had the issue with the legs rolling up, but it might be the brand/style. I've been buying Fruit of the Loom Coolzone boxer-briefs for the last few years, they're pretty comfortable and largely elastic so they fit snugly but not tight on the thighs.

Those from Fruit of the Loom are cut way longer. I guess I have to try those out, thanks for the recommendation!

I find regular briefs to be the most comfortable.

You pointed out one of the issues with boxer-briefs, and regular boxers is like throwing a random wad of fabric down there and finding new ways of being uncomfortable throughout the day.

Boxer briefs are great, but I agree with you about the legs rolling up. I've found it can be solved by having them made from a thinner material.

Recently I found that not all briefs are alike. Some have a little extra on the leg, and I find those to be just perfect. So maybe consider those?

Longer legs sound great, can you recommend a brand?

Took long enough for someone to suggest it lol.

I don't know why I got so excited when I first found boxer briefs. The snugness was new and interesting. And a good rayon blend on my skin... it was nice.

But boxers are better. They breathe better, they don't ride up... as long as you're not wearing tight-ass pants, I just love boxers.
