On any given day, likely the very first thing you put on when you get dressed is your underwear. It may be cotton or spandex, high- or low-rise, a thong or boy shorts, whatever the most comfortable underwear is for you. While your personal preferences may be influenced by your body shape, activity level, or simply what you're wearing over, there's a universal truth to acknowledge. Underwear should never be uncomfortable. If it's scratchy, loose, bunchy, or painful, liberate yourself and throw it out this very moment. Trust me, you'll be glad later.

I've collected some ideas for replenishing your panty drawer based on real underwear reviews from friends and colleagues. Below, they're giving intensive breakdowns about their favorite underthings and candidly sharing what they love and what they don't so you can make an informed choice when it's finally time to invest in a new collection of your own.

Many of these choices come in multipacks to make purchasing easier. (Buy in bulk, and you'll be set for at least a year.) But you can also mix and match by picking out a few different cuts and materials to serve different purposes in your wardrobe. With a fitted skirt, you may want barely there style boy shorts. For white pants, a cotton thong will disappear underneath. Take your pick below, and say goodbye to uncomfortable undies forever.
