Can you go to a mall and try on Tommy John underwear or bombas socks? Tommy John is selling on specs. $36 is a big price to just try out a pair of underwear to see if you like them.

I don't think you can, but if you're uneasy about spending that much money on underwear, you don't have to. There are options that are 90% as good at half the price. It's like with most other products, there is a point of diminishing returns. If you really want the most comfy underwear, they are worth checking out.
