Top 10 Most Comfortable Men’s Trunk Style Underwear
Trunks are an increasingly popular style of underwear that is a combination of brief and boxer. They take the best features of both styles and combine them into the perfect underwear, that provides support and a great fit for most men.
Trunks give a little more coverage than a brief, without the excess fabric that can cause problems with boxer brief styles. They have a shorter leg than a traditional boxer brief and usually don’t have a functional fly. You can get styles that use high-quality, moisture-wicking fabrics that are luxurious, light, and look great.
If you love the fit of a boxer but need the support of a brief, you should check out some of the latest styles. The following are a roundup of the most popular, comfortable, and best-reviewed men’s trunks:
SAXX Underwear is one of the fastest-growing men’s underwear companies in North America due to the popularity of their BallPark Pouch™ technology that uses a 3D hammock-shaped pouch that keeps everything where it should be. If you have trouble with friction or chafing, this could very well be the best option for you. Their trunk style is the same as their super popular boxer briefs, just with a 3″ inseam, rather than 5″ seam. SAXX underwear comes in tonnes of fun prints and patterns, and are made from breathable fabrics that can wick moisture. The other cool thing to keep in mind is that SAXX has a 100% satisfaction guaranteed, so if you don’t like them you can send them back within 30 days and have your money refunded.

Calvin Klein has many styles to choose from, first up is the Calvin Klein Men’s Body Modal Trunks. CK are superstars at making men’s underwear, so it is no surprise that their trunks are one of the best options going. This super popular style is regarded as one of the most comfortable men’s trunk underwear for everyday wear, mainly due to the super-soft modal fabric that is used.
Modal can be a little delicate, but this style manages to be soft yet still firm and supportive enough to keep everything in place. If you love a tight fit, this probably isn’t the style for you, as it is much more for those who want a comfortable fit. Like other Calvin Klein underwear, this modal option is a little pricey, but a lot of men find the cost is worth it for the comfort, fit, and quality you are getting.

Another popular Calvin Klein option is The Calvin Klein Steel Micro Low Rise Trunks. Men love this slightly more snug design that has a tighter fit around the waist and more support in the pouch area compared to the CK modal style above. The Steel Micro is a low-rise style, and it has the wide logo waistband that is in a kind of metallic fabric, which is super soft, and that will stay flat and not roll-up.
As any good underwear should have, there are no tags on this style. The fabric is pretty thick, yet soft, and it can hold its shape for the entire time that you wear it without any sagging issues. Since they are trunks, they have the shorter legs and won’t ride up or pinch the leg. They should also hold up well to washing and wear as long as you following the washing instructions. One other thing to note about this style is that they are great for moisture-wicking, although probably not the best option if you are working out. Overall they are known for being incredibly soft, comfortable, and supportive underwear that’ll fit well in almost any style of pants.

If you are looking for an inexpensive alternative to Hanes or Fruit of the Loom, check out David Archy. They are a much-loved brand that is very popular on Amazon due to the super soft micro modal fabric and the very supportive pouch. They are sold in packs of 4, so they are a more affordable option than some of the other brands on this list.
David Archy take on the trunk is a design that is cut like a boxer at the legs, but fits like briefs because of the length. The material is thin, soft, durable, and has quite a bit of stretch. This design manages to hold its shape well and does not feel constricting. The fabric is breathable and cool. One thing to note about this style is the separate double pouch system that makes the fit more comfortable and gives you a bit of lift

If you are looking for a shorter inseam, look no further than this multipack of no-show trunks from 2(x)ist. They are low-rise with an inseam of 2 to 2.5 inches, so they are a reasonably trim, short design. The material is a blend of cotton and spandex that gives them a nice stretch to them while still having the comfort of the cloth. They have bright, colorful branded waistbands, for a little bit of flair.
This brand is known for making designs that look good on, that hold everything in place, and are breathable. Since there isn’t a lot of fabric with this style, they fit nicely under slim and skinny fit pants and jeans without riding up on the legs.

If you want to stick with a classic, good quality brand without breaking the bank, check out Hugo Boss Cotton Stretch Trunks. They come in a 3-pack with a few different color combinations available. The material is a mix of cotton and elastane, so you get the breathability of the cloth with a little bit of stretch for support. By most reports, they are soft, comfortable, and won’t sag. They run a little small so double-check sizing charts

The Tommy John Trunks are a little longer in the leg than other options. Usually, the inseam is around 2.5-3 inches, and it is 4 inches on this style. The regular Tommy John boxer briefs have a reasonably long inseam, so I guess this is quite short for them. This design also has a functional fly, which is a little usual for a trunk.
Tommy John fans love the comfortable feel and fit of this underwear. They are known for staying in place and are good enough quality that you should get a lot of use out of them. They do tend to be a bit pricey, but if you don’t mind investing in your underwear, they may be the way to go. The fabric is a mix of 90% micro modal and 10% spandex, so it is silky soft, yet supportive enough to hold everything in place.

2UNDR™ is a Canadian brand that is making high-performance men’s athletic underwear that can be worn every day. The 2UNDR styles are worth checking if you work out a lot and have issues with sweating. This style is designed to separate your equipment from your body, so you don’t get any chafing. The pocket design is kind of a hammock style, and they are tag-less, have a roll resistant waistband, and come with a 3″ inseam. They are also big on ventilation and comfort, so they are worth checking out.

Uniqlo is always an excellent place to check out if you are looking for pretty good quality and a reasonable price. They have a lot of nice underwear and socks made of comfortable, breathable material that is nice to wear. They don’t specifically sell any “trunk’ styles, but some of the low-cut Uniqlo boxer briefs could be considered trunks as the inseam does look to be less than around 3 inches. They come in a lot of colors and are very cheap, so you can stock up and not feel guilty.

For me the most comfortable are Croota low rise hipsters. 3″ inseam and soft cotton. They call them 2nd skin and they fit close and don’t feel like you have another pair of pants on. They sit lower than your pants belt line so you don’t look like a Hip Hop artist from the 90s either. This was my step away from years of bikini ones to ones with some leg on them. They feel the same to me. They are from Australia, but you can get them on their CA ebay store.
