As much as we look forward to sunnier skies and longer days, summer brings along with it other things we could do without — namely, sweaty skin and swampy conditions down there. Now, factor in workouts and we've got a dire situation between our legs if the proper underwear isn't being worn.

If moisture-wicking is the name, then soft and breathable fabrics are the game: think natural fibers like cotton, sustainable textiles like bamboo that allow for maximum airiness, or techy-performance materials like nylon that absorb and repel moisture. To help, we went ahead and rounded up 14 of these moisture-wicking styles. Click on to cart up the top options for keeping your intimate areas cool, comfy, and swamp-free on the hottest summer days.
