Help me help my H: moisture-wicking underwear

[Deleted]

H renovates houses. Like, guts them then renovates. That means no air conditioning in the summer and no heat in the winter. So about now, he's suffering. He comes home soaked with sweat every day. He uses Monkey Butt powder on his balls/inner thighs but does anyone know of a men's brief that wicks moisture?

I, and my H, thank you.

I forget the brand but I just bought some for H from Target last week.

I saw a commercial for a new kind of underwear from hanes, it's designed to keep you cool. Beyond that, I don't know.

Just FYI, if you get something like that be sure to read the washing instructions. Most of it should not be dried with a dryer sheet.

I don't see briefs but under armour makes boxer briefs that do that.

DH wears under armour or the c9 ones from target.

Yes. My DH has under armour t-shirts and I think they have to be air dried/line dried.

Also you will need to wash it on hot. It obviously holds in the stink since it is wicking moisture. Otherwise it ends up funky smelling.

Uniqlo Air boxer briefs are amazing.

[bornbaker]

Ditto the under armor. H wears them when he runs.

This is great! Thanks everyone.

Where do you/your H buy the UA and is it true-to-size?

[NothingWrongwithOhio]

Another vote for under armor.

Also, this thread should be titled "s/o swamp ass..."

[NothingWrongwithOhio]

I buy them at Marshalls/TJ Maxx and they're pretty TTS.

Yeah, any wicking fabric should be line dried.  If you put them in the dryer, you just bake the stink in.  And I think you're supposed to avoid fabric softener all together, because it interferes with the wicking powers?

Or "gig butt" as coined by all the men in my H's industry. He swears by Anti Monkey Butt powder

this is VERY true. MrBAMF is a marathon runner so the man knows sweaty clothing like whoa. It is NOT an attractive thing. He washes his running gear separately from any other clothing or towels. He NEVER puts them in the dryer. He lays everything flat on the office floor, puts a box fan in there and leaves it on overnight.

He likes the Arm+Hammer stuff with Oxyclean to get his running gear back to non-stinky/clean.

HTH!

DH is currently obsessed with Duluth Trading Company, which makes all sort of wicking stuff, including underwear. I have absolutely no idea if it works, but I did waste a good 30 minutes watching their ridiculous ads on you tube.

Ditto the Under Armour. Also, if he wears a doo rag, they make some that active a cooling gel by soaking in cold water for a few minutes.

Yep, DH thinks these are the best thing ever!

We just started carrying these at my work. I'm intrigued. There's a little pouch to keep the balls from touching legs.

So I'm here minding my own business, browsing for underwear for H and I run across THIS. Is that shadow on the right (his left) supposed to be his member? Because holy horses.

I just left my tablet up to this post and told H to read it. He gave it back and asked me to get the under Armour ones. He did not think it was funny when I asked if he wanted the pair worth a pocket for his things.

I just bought these from Kohl's two weeks ago for H.

My FI also wears the UA - they're amazing.

[takeonyou]

Another UA vote. I wash them in SportWash or Dead Down Wind and hang them dry. Line dry outside every once in a while to let the sun freshen them up.
