How to Choose Packing Underwear for Travel

Quick Answer

For travel, choose packing underwear with a secure pouch, soft stretch fabric, and chafe-free coverage. The TomboyX 6" Fly Packing Boxer Briefs offer all-day comfort and a deep pocket for your packer.

Decision Rules for Travel Packing Underwear

• Pouch Security: Choose underwear with a deep, enclosed pocket (not just a flap) to keep the packer stable during movement. Avoid pouches that are too shallow or open, as they may allow shifting. Test the pouch depth with your packer before travel to confirm it fits snugly.
• Fabric and Breathability: Opt for stretch-blend cotton or moisture-wicking blends. These fabrics reduce sweat buildup and chafing during long travel days. Avoid 100% cotton if you expect heavy activity or humid climates. Consider a quick-dry blend if you plan to hand-wash underwear on the go.
• Inseam Length: A 6-inch inseam offers mid-thigh coverage that prevents riding up under shorts or pants. Shorter inseams may bunch, while longer ones can be less versatile with shorts. Match inseam to your typical travel bottoms—6" works well for most.
• Waistband Comfort: A wide, stay-put waistband that doesn't roll or dig in is essential for all-day wear. Look for a design that lies flat under waistbands of travel pants or shorts. Try the underwear with your travel pants to check for waistband visibility or pressure points.
• Fit and Sizing: Choose a size that fits snugly but not tightly. A too-loose pouch can cause the packer to move, while too-tight can compress it uncomfortably. Many brands offer size guides based on hip/waist measurements. If between sizes, size up for travel to allow for movement and comfort.
