I go for the Olaf Benz Men's trunks as my underwear of choice. It's my go to when the weather isn't cooperating and I still need to send my proj.

Check them out at Amazon undies . Freaking sweet.

What is your favorite sending unmentionable when the going gets tough?

I almost bought a pair of those this morning, actually, but who wants to pay $10 for shipping!? What a ripoff.

Climbing friend,

I believe this grip the whang too much for excellent flash. You probably get distract by the whang pain and fall off the climbing rocks.

I believe climbing friend, you make much better chance of making hard flash if you please wear these

It allow my testiklene to be free and some light swinging and bouncing, although warm even on big route with cool temperature.

The Olaf Benz allows me to concentrate on my climbing instead of worrying about the bothersome issues that are going on down there. It makes me feel clean and free to do the things that matter most to me.

Dead Bird boxers are my go-to grape huggers, until I get my hands on Lynn Hill's undies:

I go commando, always have. K2 just so happens i am the proud owner of a pair of Lynn's undies. Won'em from a friend in a game of texas hold'em, i'll send them to you. I've never worn them, just sniff'em from time to time.

I agree. Going commando is the best way. I wear waterproof short so I can be swim with it

banana hammock, no pants.
Nicelegs, as much protruding bodily hair as possible is highly desirable.

I like my magic underwear, I can float up routes.

Great post. Seriously. In need of some good gear. Patagonia, addidas, everything ride up...keeps me from sending my 10a project. Also makes normal workdays uncomfortable.

These undies are a solid choice (shameless self-promotion):

Similar to Ex Officio give-n-go, but more friendly to your wallet.

I love me some Icebreakers

I like Saxx, or BN3th. Keeps the junk tidy on long climbs, no pinching or thigh-stick.

You can’t go wrong with Duluth Trading Co Bare Naked Undies

Huge fan of 32° cool underwear, it stays feeling fresh the longest, very comfortable fabric and are extremely cheap, I get my family to bring me back a bunch when they go for their yearly visit to the states. I've had some arcteryx underwear in the past but they're unbelievably fragile and while thet supported the goods really really well they had holes in them after the first wash for the price they're ridiculous.

As I'm trying to lighten as much as possible I go commando!  Also I throw up before I start any climb, I'm not sure if that is intentional or not.

both dead bird options are great. https://www.arcteryx.com/us/en/shop/mens/satoro-ar-boxer are wool and hold their shape far longer than icebreaker. 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
