Types Of Mens Underwear – What Type Suits You?

Boxer shorts are very comfortable. Allowing you plenty of room to breathe, anyone, at any time can wear boxer shorts. Comfortable and available in a range of colours and of course sizes, they are, however usually the underwear of choice for the larger man. Opportunities abound to express your personality through funky colours, textures and designs. Cotton seems to be the material most favoured for this type of underwear

Y fronts are, perhaps considered to be the underwear of choice for the older man. It certainly does not have to be the case however as nowadays there are a multitude of styles and choices available, dare I say for the more discerning man. Look out for flattened seams so that they do not show through your trousers (or pants as our cousins across the Atlantic would say). An excellent choice if you are looking for support, ease of access for those all important personal functions and a safe bet however old you happen to be

Slips or briefs are generally considered a fashion accessory or underwear designed for style over support. They are, however comfortable, giving an excellent level of support and wear-ability, and have the added benefit of being close to invisible under other clothing. Cotton is again the material best placed to handle the rigours of daily life, whilst a range of other, synthetic materials are also available for those on a budget or wanting a slightly different feel to their underwear

Thongs- the very thought of a man wearing a thong is enough to send shivers down my spine. Uncomfortable, definitely not practical, yet surprisingly popular with both men and women alike. The one benefit that I can see from a more practical point of view is that they are virtually invisible under clothing so if you wear tight fitting trousers (or pants) then you might just consider these to be the most essential item in your underwear drawer. For me, leave them well alone, but then I’m middle aged, and definitely not the most fashion conscious of people. Give me comfort every time

There is most definitely a multitude of choice available the the man who, of course always needs underwear. Perfect for a gift or present, they are always popular but please make sure that you get the right size for you. Invest in well made, middle of the road to top end underwear. It’s an investment and you will reap the benefit by being comfortable all day, whether you are at home or the office, invest in some decent underwear, you will be very glad that you did. Drop some serious hints next time someone asks what you’d like for your birthday
