I know this post and comment might sound shilly but switching to more expensive microfibre underwear actually made a big impact on my life and motivated me to start buying better fitting and better material clothes.

I'd always bought cheap and thought anything else was silly. I was wrong. So much more comfortable, I haven't had a single pair even begin to wear down a little bit, less sweating and feel cleaner, fit better, and haven't been scrunchy or uncomfortable once compared to the daily issues of that cheap FotL life. This led to more expensive and longer lasting socks with textures I like better, better fitting shoes that survive more than one season.

It was spawned by some severe weight loss and a need to restock my wardrobe. My old underwear stuck around as backups to tell me I needed to do laundry, but going back to the old ones was bad enough that I stopped postponing laundry.

Basically, I really didn't appreciate how much I absolutely hated so many textures I was constantly in contact with until I tried alternative underwear and realized you don't have to just deal with that all the time.
