Men's Mesh Jersey Performance Wicking No Fly Boxer Briefs vs Women's Quarter Crew Socks (6 Pairs): which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Azo dyes in polyester fabric, Formaldehyde-based resins in moisture-wicking finish, Finish degradation and off-gassing over time and Microplastic shedding from mesh on the New Balance and not on the Puma.
• We flag Azo dyes, Formaldehyde resins (finishing agents) and Microplastic shedding on the Puma and not on the New Balance.
• The New Balance is polyester mesh with moisture-wicking finish where the Puma is Cotton/polyester blend socks, no waterproofing, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Puma is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the New Balance grade, at 45% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
