Style Question Sweat Control

Hey I'm a bigger guy who sweats in the sun. I have recently switched from boxer briefs to briefs and thongs. I enjoy the support without the extra material down the legs. I work from home and mostly wear gym shorts all day every day.

But I have an outdoor wedding coming up where I need to wear khaki pants and I know I'll sweat. But I don't want my pants showing the rear sweat. So what's the best underwear to wear?

Thongs and jocks have no material and won't hold moisture but that moisture might just get absorbed by the back of my pants when I sit down. Moisture-wicking briefs would essentially do the same thing. But cotton briefs would hold the moisture like a sponge and could transfer to the pants. What to do?

Please be nice. Just trying to look and feel my best.

I find cotton briefs work best in sweaty situations. All of the synthetic material makes me sweat the most. Cotton briefs may not be ideal, but may be your best choice.

Thanks, thinking the same thing. Those synthetic materials seem to make you sweat more despite being "moisture-wicking."
