Intensely dirty things should be presoaked, and dark-colored underwear should be deliberately washed by hand or treated with a stain remover before placing them into the washing machine and that too with other clothes.

If boxer brief underwear for men is made out of Micro Modal, you need to use a softener that supports and embraces the quality of your underwear. Similarly, if you own a pair of male thongs, jockstrap underwear, and brief underwear for men designed in microfiber, you should not use the same softener which you are using in the case of Micro Modal men's boxer briefs.
