The Best Men's Underwear to Buy For Every Body Type
Every guy is different. Some of us are extremely tall and lean. Some of us are a little shorter with thick thighs. Some of us are somehow none of those things and all of those things at once. The point is, there’s not a one size fits all category when it comes to mens underwear.
Different people have different needs, so we knew we needed to offer an abundance of different options. But what types of underwear work best with different body types? That’s a great question, so we’ve put together this guide to provide some much-needed clarity on all the types of male underwear out there so you can decide which style is your new fave.
Our Boxer Briefs are our most-beloved Undies of all time. These Undies work well for taller guys, mostly due to the way they stretch down the leg to provide ample coverage. Speaking of ample, this type of underwear is perfect for guys who don’t miss squat days in the gym. Super-stretchy and supportive, our Boxer Briefs come in multiple lengths. They also come without a fly, so you’re sure to find a cut of Boxer Briefs that work for you no matter your height or squatting ability.
If you’re a little shorter than extremely tall people or if you’re a sporty kind of guy (or if you’re neither of those things, but you are looking for something a little more freeing than Boxer Briefs), may we introduce you to Trunks? Trunks are the way to go if you don’t want to commit to a brief but also love wearing shorts with a 5” inseam. If you generally want more freedom down there, Trunks are your new go-to. Our Trunks are sportier than a typical brief and are the favorite underwear for guys who like to show off more of their legs. We say if you’ve got it, flaunt it.
This one’s for guys who just like to hang loose. Don’t want a whole lot of structure supporting you down there? Try our Boxers. They’re a relaxed fit and thus are ideal for lounging around all over your house. This is the best underwear for men who aren’t interested in form-fitting Undies, so they will be a dream come true for pretty much any body type out there. You really can’t go wrong.
Out of all the different types of underwear for men out there, Briefs hold a special place in our hearts. They’re not only classic, they’re iconic and will forever be a staple in Undies drawers around the globe. Our Briefs takes the cherished design we all know and love and elevates it with a perfectly-proportioned pouch and all-over softness that lays flat across butts for a wedgie-free fit. They’re a great option for someone with robust thighs or anyone who wants to avoid the possibility of bunching around the legs.
As the name suggests, Jockstraps are typically associated with guys who play sports, go to the gym, or perform other manly activities that require full cheekage. Obviously every type of person can play sports or exercise, so this cut of Undies isn’t exclusive to one body type (well, none of them are, really). We say everyone is invited to the Jockstrap table, even if your rigorous activity is trekking to the kitchen for more snacks. Jockstraps are amazing because they contour to your body and let nothing else get in the way. Maybe you’ll get in a great workout, maybe you’ll just take a mirror pic of your squat-gains. The choice is yours.
In conclusion, there’s no wrong way to wear Undies. Your body type doesn’t dictate what type of underwear you’re destined to wear, so try out a few styles and see what feels best. Who knows, maybe you’re a Boxer Brief from Monday-Friday kind of guy and a Trunk guy on Saturday and Sunday. Your Undie journey is personal and that’s what makes it beautiful. Good luck!
