That's a good recommendation. I too think cotton is best for all-day wear, but I think some of the newer man-made fabrics claim to be moisture wicking too. I thought that poly/lycra underwear, similar to a swimsuit, would get stuffy after warm day but one that I tried was cool and dry all day long.

So I think poly/lycra in underwear must be made differently than those in swimwear (which has no need to wick away moisture or sweat)
