Suggestions for underwear/material for shorter rides for a larger person

Hanes/Fruit of the Loom type boxer briefs were a moderate improvement over briefs due to seam issues but I'm still having comfort issues. I've tried a couple of different gel seats which have a fair amount of padding so I don't think the seat is the problem. I think the underwear material/weave itself is an issue - i.e. I think it's a bit coarse and irritating the main contact points particularly given my mass - 6'4" and over 250 lbs. My riding is generally less than 5 miles at a time so it seems padded shorts might be inconvenient overkill - don't want to have to change out of them after a relatively short ride to the gym etc. if I can avoid it.

Any suggestions for a type/brand of underwear that you think would do the trick?

Thanks.
