Viscose/rayon and cotton don't give off microplastics into the water supply, and are biodegradable (eventually.)
Tencel and modal use fewer harsh chemicals in production, but are in the same category.
Conversely, polyester, nylon, lycra, spandex, are all petroleum based, resist degradation, and create microplastics as they're worn and washed. Am not buying those any more.

+1 my experience as well. They're comfortable but the waistband sucks
I would say it's a step below the quality of my modal ones or ecotex labeled. However, it's still dreamy compared to most cotton ones at this level.
When I say level, I mean brand / category. Because there are higher end brands that use better fabrics no matter the makeup of them.
Breathability, softness, stretch, etc. Comparing like quality/cost options I have found that any brand bamboo derived fabric beats out cotton. Many times lower grade rayon / modal alternatives feel nicer than their cotton competitors.
My personal opinion of coarse, but the above has led me to exclusively use those products for bedding and underwear over the past 10 years. My wife is also similarly impressed every time we switch a bedding item to bamboo. Summer = bamboo, winter = Jersey cotton (100% no inferior poliester blends).

I am particular about my clothing have tried cotton , modal , nylon, and viscose I like this the best. Anything polyester based makes me stink not sure why. This is different. I think they can make the fabric thinner than cotton underwear, and I sweat less in these and am very happy. Viscose realeases mousture instead of absorbing it like cotton will (cotton feels clammy if I sweat in it).
I buy 75% viscose 25% cotton blend tshirts from Netdraw. And I also buy the viscose socks from Hanes as well. Merino wool is better but hotter (I buy Merino 75% / 25% nylon so it doesn't fall apart) but you can wear it for days. I am not really going to wear underwear for days no matter what so love viscose from Hanes.
I have purchased every permutation of Hanes Underwear. These are GREAT for travel they don't take up much space. The briefs size is the smallest and is my go to for summer and packs better for travel. But these are a decent size to wear as well , especially in winter. There is a long size I just don't wear them at all.
These hanes have a good amount of stretch, but the material is not as shear and has a rougher texture - more like a t-shirt compared to Silkskins. The waste band is a bit rough and seems like it will crumple easily.
The waist bands on silkskins keeps changing so I can't give a direct comparison there. Overall I would say the band on these hanes sucks. Being so narrow, rough, and prone to rolling up, it digs into my skin at times.
The seam at the leg ends stretch well with the fabric so it doesn't dig in or serve as a point of constriction.
My viscose underwear 1 year old looks like new. My viscose socks immediately pilled when I wore them but no holes yet after a year.
Got these on a prior deal. Super soft but rides up like crazy.
