Today's video is about the best underwear for men, $30 or less. Over the last 10- 15 years, the underwear market has changed dramatically. While it used to be something that was just stuffed to the dark corners of a department store with big brands like Calvin Klein and Hanes, now, you have a lot of specialist brands just focusing on underwear, oftentimes, they sell directly to the consumer. And also the materials, while they used to be just cotton or cotton with a little bit of spandex, now you can find all sorts of nylon, modal, micromodal, you name it!

So first, let's talk about materials because apart from the cut, it's a very important component of your underwear.

Let's start with the most traditional, cotton. It is a great fabric, it's a well-known staple for most men that wear underwear. It's a natural material Overall, it is a great natural material except for one reason, it is very absorbent and for underwear, you don't want moisture to be stuck next to your skin, you want it to be moved away from it. Personally, I like cotton with a bit spandex if you are not very active and you don't sweat a lot because it still does the job, it's somewhat breathable, and it's very affordable.

Another important material in underwear today is Modal. It is made by the Austrian company, Lenzing. Just like viscose, it is a semi synthetic fiber, meaning everything starts out with cellulose derived from trees or bamboo or other sources. Modal is stronger and softer than viscose. It's also not as absorbent as cotton, you can dry it in the dryer without any damage, and it doesn't pill like cotton does, for example, or nylon.

A variation of modal is Micromodal. It means that the fiber is even finer, meaning it can be woven more tightly that it's also softer but it still has those same characteristics as the regular modal. The result of it is often that the touch is almost like silk but because the fiber is a little finer, it may not last quite as long as a regular modal. For underwear, Micromodal is considered to be the cashmere of synthetic or semi synthetic fibers.

So what about spandex, elastane, or lycra? They're all made from polyurethane which means they're derived from oil. It's basically all the same stuff. In the US, it's known as spandex and Europe, it's known as Elastane. Lycra, again, is a brand name for Elastane so don't get yourself confused, it's all about the same stuff.
