A six-pack of Hanes cotton briefs
Lightweight and breezy, these full-coverage cotton panties wick away moisture while staying in place for all-day wear. They're made from pre-shrunk jersey cotton that keeps its shape through wear and washes.

Promising review: "Nice. Comfortable and true to size. They are very breathable in warm weather also. Would definitely recommend." Ilieana D.

A four-pack of undies in a stay-cool fabrication
Offering a higher leg opening for a stylish silhouette, these full-coverage panties will become your daily favorite. Made from Fruit of the Looms Coolblend cotton-poly fabric, they promise to keep even the sweatiest nether-regions dry.

Promising review: "I'm an underwear snob! My dresser is filled with ones I had high hopes for! I'm soon traveling on a very long hike with very close accommodations and these are the answer to wicking moisture away. They are easy to give a quick wash and hang on the line inside or outside your tent. Super soft, very comfortable, and true to size. I was so excited after they arrived and came out of the wash the same way that I purchased a second package! Dana

A three-pack of high-waisted microfiber undies
These highly-rated, high-waisted unmentionables are made from a breathable microfiber fabric that promises to wick moisture away. Theyre equipped with a cotton gusset and waistband thats designed to be gentle on your midsection.

Promising review: These are a good deal for the price. Very affordable for smooth and comfortable everyday undies. I was mainly surprised that they really do breathe quite well for a smoother feeling material. I like that they dont leave you sweaty like some shapewear products can. Ive worn them on hot days and they stayed pretty cool.
The hold on these is minor- its not a totally suck you in tight feel like compression.
They are a great choice for under skirts/ dresses so that nothing shows when you move and bend around. They go up high so fit over a muffin top and smooth you out a little and they dont ride up at all in the back so no wedgies at all all day long (even when moving and bending, picking up little kids, etc). These are a great postpartum choice for a problematic midsection that needs a little control. They do look like total 'mom' undies- meaning they are large and not the most romantic pair or look out there- but they are super functional. Overall Id recommend them. GA Reviewer

A pair of utra-thin micromesh period panties

Sweat-proof undies from a trusted athletic brand
New Balance has outfitted athletes for over 100 years , so were trusting that they know their stuff when it comes to sweat-ready goods. Reviewers love these tag-free, seamless nylon-blend undies, finding them to be comfortable for a variety of workouts.

Promising review: Love these panties. I got them for working out, they stay put, moisture wicking, full-coverage, comfortable. Great for running, cycling and pilates. I wish Id bought more because two months later theyre not available in my size and I havent found anything else I like as much! S. Davidson

They are so comfortable & breathable, plus they dont bunch up in the leg area. I just ordered my second package & got rid of all my old pairs." Mstikal Enchantments

An eye-catching short in natural merino wool
While wool might seem like a counter-intuitive choice, soft and fine merino wool has moisture-wicking properties , in addition to being a non-synthetic and naturally anti-microbial material. Icebreakers hot shorts are popular with shoppers and come in a variety of colors, both festive and neutral.

Promising review: Icebreaker seams outlast smart wool. I LIVE for wool underwear. A am a damp individual and also sweat a lot. These are so breathable and moisture wicking! And they do not get that smell that athletic moisture wicking fabrics do. After their first each they are very comfortable. I buy a medium and I wear a size 10/12 and they have a great fit! And no riding up on me. I do recommend washing them in a laundry bag so you can find them to keep them out of the dryer. These will last you years! Kreidner

A four-pack of anti-chafe boxer briefs
For working out, wearing under skirts or dresses or wearing with pads or adult diapers, these breathable women's briefs really do it all. They're styled after men's underwear but designed and cut for women, offering you support and stretch where you need it while keeping you cool and dry.

Promising review: "I am having a problem with incontinence and all the pads I am using especially the long overnight ones don't fit properly with my regular high rise underwear. These underwear are great. They fit perfectly with all types of pads even those stupid wings that never seem to adhere to anything. These underwear are comfortable and breathable. The legs don't ride up so that makes me very happy. The wide waistband is comfortable and not binding. I am so satisfied that I purchased more. I would recommend these to everyone." G-Ma

Jess Rona , dog grooming expert and owner of Los Angeles-based Jess Rona Grooming, said that she "really loves" iGroom products, especially this deshedding and detangling set for dogs. "They're hydrating and leave the coat soft and clean," she said.

This pH-balanced formula by iGroom is specifically formulated to loosen tangles and unwanted undercoat, while also preventing new ones from forming. Both the shampoo and conditioner contain multiple extracts to add shine, volume and health back into coats.

Ani Corless , grooming specialist and founder of New York City-based Luxury Groomer , agreed that using a conditioner is as equally important as using a shampoo. In fact, she said that she starts the bath with a conditioner, then after a rinse, washes with shampoo and finishes with another conditioning.

"This does a few things, but in short it protects that sebum layer which is the basis of the health of that hair and skin," she said.

If you are planning on bathing your cat, Maria Drechsel , lead groomer and owner of Calgarys Fabulous Feline Grooming , previously told HuffPost that a hypoallergenic shampoo is a must and preferably one that doesn't leave a residue on fur that could potentially be ingested when your cat licks themself.

OUR PICK:This gentle-lathering shampoo bar for both cats and dogs is formulated with coconut oil to be great for skin and conditioning the coat and rinses out easily and cleanly.
