Time to refresh your underwear drawer? Here are 11 of the best.

Every morning, I brace for a stand-off with my underwear drawer.

For the past three years, I’ve been wearing the same stretched-out, off-coloured undies I bought to the hospital to wear after birth (I’m still technically postpartum even three years on, right?).

Actually, calling them undies would be an insult to underwear everywhere — at this stage, they’re just rags I pull on under my yoga pants before rifling for a bra that ten-year-old me would be oh so deeply disappointed in — "I waited 14 years to finally need a bra and now you’re out here wearing this?"

Needless to say, my undergarments need an overhaul. It might just be me, but when I can’t find a clean pair of those postpartum rags and I’m forced to wear another ill-fitting reject, my entire day can be a wash. I shift uncomfortably while working, I curse my wedgie in pilates, I catch sight of my tattered bra strap sticking out in the bathroom and by the time I get home, I’m ready to rip everything off and find a nudist community to join.

My point is, what we wear under there matters. For your confidence, your comfort and your calm.

Now, there’s no choice more personal than our knickers or jocks, but these beauties from the intimates experts at Myer are the cream of the crop (speaking of, check out number six for a seriously comfy crop).

The best for everyday wear.

Jockey Parisienne Bamboo Full Brief, $21.99

We’re kicking off with these bamboo beauties because they’re a bit of an everyday hero. They won’t dig in, they give you a comfy full-coverage fit and the lace is just a bit special, isn’t it?

The bamboo, viscose fabric provides a soft and stretchy fit while perfectly retaining its shape wash after wash.

Aerie Smoothez No Show Extra Mid-Rise Cheeky Underwear, $24.95

Another brilliant everyday choice if, like me, you crave that invisible look but you still want to feel like you’re wearing something. They’re soft, they’re stretchy and most of all, they’re insanely smooth, promising zero undie-lines under anything. 

Bendon Everyday Briefs Lace Thong, $19.95

These lace lovelies are your perfect go-to thong. They’re comfy enough to wear all day without thinking about them, but if you do happen to, they’ll give you that sexy confidence boost you need to take you from Friday meetings to Friday happy hour.

They have a 100 per cent cotton gusset lining, making them super breathable. And they might be invisible under your clothes, but if you do happen to want to show someone, they’re sure to impress. 

Berlei Barely There T-Shirt Bra, $69.95

There’s a reason this t-shirt staple has over a thousand five-star reviews. It’s one of those 'where have you been all my life' kind of bras. It gives you shape without adding padding, it’s smooth under even the thinnest fabric and it straight up refuses to dig into your armpits.

If you want to spend the day wondering if you even put on a bra that morning, this is your answer. 

Triumph Beautiful Silhouette Strapless Bra, $69.95

Everyone needs a good strapless bra, but they’re bloody hard to find. Well, this one will not only stay up but it also promises to remain dutifully invisible under your outfit for a sleek, smooth look.

You can finally wear that cute off-the-shoulder top you keep throwing back in the cupboard in defeat after trying to MacGyver your normal bra into a strapless. 

Sloggi Zero Feel 2.0 Soft Bra, $54.95

The 'Zero' in the name pretty much sums it up when it comes to any discomfort you might feel throughout the day wearing this beauty. It’s an absolute dream, promising no visible lines and sturdy wide straps with cup inserts to offer a nice natural shape.

Calvin Klein Intense Power Cotton Trunks, $109.95

If you’re a bloke (or if you’re shopping for one), you can’t really go wrong with a classic pair of Calvins. But this range offers a little something extra with a thick, mid-rise statement waistband and super soft cotton with excellent stretch. 

Mitch Dowd Loose Fit Knit Boxer Shorts 3 Pack, $59.95

These boxers are a classic 100 per cent cotton loose-fitting staple, offering a gentle no-dig waistband and guaranteed all-day comfort. They’re a bestseller for a reason, and they can be yours (or his) in classic black or navy.

The best for special occasions.

Have you ever heard of 'Italian Jacquard lace'? Neither had I until I feasted my eyes on this stunner. With a plunging neckline and beautifully rounded cups (and just the right amount of lift), this bra will look and feel like luxury from the moment you put it on.

Tommy Hilfiger 3 Pack Logo Trunks, $99.95

Why not treat your partner to some designer jocks? These classic cotton trunks are soft and stretchy but just that little bit fancy.

They’re perfect for blokes who like a bit of stretch down there for all-day comfort (and they look bloody good too).
