I've read cotton absorbs sweat, whereas polyester repels it, so if I run I should get polyester underwear.

Is the difference very noticeable?

This is to wear with my leggings, because if I go commando my male bits turn to one side.

I try and use wool.

I have some wool performance shirts (minus 33 woolverino) and I want to make the switch for environmental reasons, but they don't seem to last as long as my polyester (some of which I've had for many years and still wear regularly).

Yeah wool seems to have less longevity.
