Australia’s Top 5 Most Loved Men's Underwear

Australia doesn’t agree on much - but when it comes to underwear, the data is clear.

After more than 50,000 verified customer reviews, five pairs of Step One underwear consistently rise to the top for comfort, breathability and all-day performance.

What to look for when buying underwear

Fit - Look for underwear that stays in place without riding up or bunching. A well-designed fit should move naturally with your body and provide consistent support throughout the day.

Material - Fabric choice has a major impact on comfort. Bamboo viscose blends are ideal for everyday wear, offering a softer, smoother feel than traditional cotton while remaining breathable and flexible.

Comfort - Comfort comes down to the details. Soft-touch fabrics, smooth seams, and waistbands that don’t dig in help create underwear you forget you’re wearing.

Breathability - Breathable materials help regulate temperature and manage moisture. Natural fibres like bamboo viscose promote airflow, keeping you cooler and fresher for longer.

Size - The right size should feel secure without feeling tight or restrictive. Stretch-rich fabrics provide a more adaptable fit across different body shapes.

Durability - Quality underwear should hold its shape and softness wash after wash. Strong stitching and resilient fabrics help prevent stretching, sagging, and early wear.
