The Best Women’s Underwear

Image
Life is too short for subpar underwear. Great undies are the unsung heroes of a functional wardrobe: out-of-sight allies that keep you feeling comfy and confident in your clothes. But a lousy pair can really get your knickers in a twist — digging in, riding up, and making you hot and bothered in all the wrong ways. With help from a diverse group of testers, we tried 90 pairs of underwear from 50 collections. Of course, preferences related to cut and coverage are highly individual. (Our five testers included a full-coverage fanatic, two hipster lovers, a habitual bikini-wearer, and a thong devotee.) So rather than focusing on individual styles, we went in search of the best brand collections, which could offer a range of silhouettes in the same (excellent) fabrics, finishings, and overall aesthetic. Ultimately, we landed on 13 standout lines — in a variety of touchable fabrics — to suit many bodies, budgets, and tastes. These are the upgraded daily staples that are ...

Lots of People Apply Sunscreen Wrong. Here’s How to Do It Right.

Image
The best protection against sun damage is to shield yourself from the sun’s rays entirely. But that’s rarely practical. And even with all of the sunglasses , rash guards , sun hats , and UPF clothing in the world, you usually still need a second line of defense. That’s where sunscreen comes in. For many of us, that’s also where the questions start: How much sunscreen do you need? How often do you need to apply it? And does the type of sunscreen you use matter? The short answers: You need 1 liquid ounce, applied roughly every two hours; any non-expired sunscreen labeled “ broad spectrum ” (which means it protects against both UVA and UVB rays ) with an SPF of 30 or higher is a good option, according to the American Academy of Dermatology . (All of the picks in our sunscreen guide — as well as every sunscreen we recommend, including reef-safe and face sunscreens — meet these criteria. We chose physical and chemical sunscreen formulas that are easy to apply and ...

The Best T-Shirt I Ever Bought Came From a Midwest Strip Mall. I Tracked It Down on Amazon.

Image
I was in the prime of my turbo-packing era when I finally made a bone-headed mistake. Turbo-packing, for the uninitiated, is the act of packing hastily and haphazardly at an hour irresponsibly close to the moment when you are meant to leave for the airport, often without properly folding your clothes, sometimes without even making sure that they are clean. It’s usually done when traveling to a familiar place where all the small comforts of the world are already waiting for you. It does not matter if you forget this or that. Turbo-packing is an act of abandoning all caution and leaning into ease. In this case, I was visiting my grandparents. And what I forgot was T-shirts. Yes, I forgot to pack an entire category of clothing. Not long after my arrival, I bought an emergency T-shirt from a local frozen-custard shop to get me through the trip. I could throw it in with the nightly wash cycle and alternate with the shirt I’d worn on the plane. It would be fine, I told m...

The Best AI Scheduling App Makes You Do the Hard Work

Image
It’s hard not to feel scatterbrained in today’s work environment. Tasks pile up in inboxes, lurk in chat messages, ping you at all hours with notifications. Personal calendars and to-do lists vie with work calendars and project management apps for priority. Making sense of it all can be a full-time job — one that robots are designed to handle well. In 2025, the robots were still learning the ropes. After I tested nine AI scheduling apps, my favorite was the one with the least AI. “You’re better off scheduling your tasks yourself,” I concluded. That is not the case today. Currently, AI chat paired with automated tools can schedule tasks around the events in your calendar seamlessly. They automatically juggle your agenda to prevent overbooking or neglecting critical tasks — like moving that meeting when you schedule a medical appointment. And via chat, they can add or edit tasks in bulk, summarize your agenda for the day, and clear your calendar if something comes up...

We Grilled Over 140 Pounds of Meat to Find the Best Gas Grills

Image
There’s evidence that humans have been cooking over an open flame for some 780,000 years . Maybe that’s why having a good grill can feel like a primal necessity. And for those who love to cook (and dine) alfresco, your grill is the centerpiece — or, more often, the only piece — of an outdoor cooking setup. Gas grills may not invoke our open-fire ancestors as naturally as, say, charcoal grills . But gas grills are hands down the most convenient and easy to use, so they are perfect for weeknight cooking or impromptu patio parties. Since 2015, we’ve researched dozens of propane models and rigorously tested 18. We’ve flipped burgers, seared steaks, charred chicken thighs, roasted whole birds, blistered veggies, and even put out a few fires in the process. Weber has consistently come out as the champ. And after our latest round of testing, Weber’s new, four-burner Weber Spirit E-425 is our top pick. The new, two-burner Weber Spirit E-210 is our budget pick, and the r...
