Since then, I’ve been wearing and washing a few pairs of women’s underwear, attempting to find the best one! I’ve carefully evaluated the comfort level, how quickly they air dry, and whether they reduce odor or not.

Most Comfortable
Isis Sport Briefs: The cut of the Isis Sports Brief is comfortable – these panties provide plenty of coverage and because they are so soft on the skin I don’t notice them during a long day of hiking.
Patagonia Women’s Active Brief: Talk about soft! The Patagonia Active Hipsters are definitely comfortable… they don’t ride up and the waistband lays flat, so the hip belt of my backpack doesn’t rub at all.
Icebreaker Sprite Hot Pant Underwear: Just like other Icebreaker products, these panties are made of superfine merino wool from sheep living peacefully on farms in the mountains of New Zealand. Manufacturing is done with recycled water and heat, and dyes are eco-friendly. It is hard to find anything greener than that!
Be sure to check out the full gear reviews on each. Remember that all of us are such different shapes and sizes, that your preferences may be different. Good luck underwear hunting, and happy trails!
