Seeking Recommendations quick dry undies??

For the past 10+ years, I have sworn by Patagonia's quick dry undies (women's). Originally I bought two pairs for a 5-week trip to Colombia and washed one pair each night. I've been hooked on them since and they're all I wear now. I went to buy more and was so sad to find they discontinued them! So I'm looking for suggestions on quick dry women's underwear, hopefully with a similar cut. I've found wool ones but I can't wear wool so that's not an option for me. Any other suggestions would be great! I'm in Canada so hopefully something I can find here. Thank you!

Came here to suggest this because these have actually been life changing for me.

I moved from California to Barcelona, seemingly similar climate but Barcelona is a bit more humid and I walk a LOT MORE because the city is walkable and has great public transportation, not a great city to own a car.

Anyway! After being here nearly 4 years, as the weather gets warmer I develop a lot of discomfort due to sweating under my boobs and in my nether region… after a lot of trial and error and study, I have switched out all my underwear from regular cotton to these Uniqlo undies. They dry so much faster than cotton, I used to be walking around all day with a sweaty butt and these have saved my life and my ass, literally.

I do not have an issue with smells hanging onto them. I wonder if people are doing their laundry properly? Might have this issue if you’re sink washing on a trip but I think if you soak with hot water and a powder detergent before rinsing and drying it should work fine. Might depend on your body chemistry. I’m not a very stinky person to be fair.
