Boxers

When it comes to boxers versus briefs, I got some rather interesting insight from a firefighter friend of mine. According to him it seems to be 50/50. At the fire station boxers are apparently worn more by younger guys and guys 60 and over. Briefs (and not the good kind I might add) are typically worn by men between the ages of 40 and 60.
Whether boxers, briefs or anything in between, underwear has come a long way in recent years. Men aren't always quick to pick up on the subtleties of their choice of underwear. Some guys need just a little more guidance, so let’s break down our options.
BRIEFS (aka “Tighty-Whities” ):
Briefs have a bad rap. One must distinguish between the BVDs, Fruit of the Looms, Hanes, etc you wore when you were 10 and more upscale brands.
BOXER-BRIEFS:
Boxer briefs (and mini boxer briefs) seem to be worn by athletic types or guys who don’t like briefs and don’t like how regular boxers have so much fabric. I asked several of my guy friends about this and they say they like them because they are comfortable, conforming and offer support. Again, they come in quite a wide variety of fabrics and colors.
BOXERS:
Clearly these seem to be the underwear of choice for most men. Peer pressure! However, this does not excuse boxers with juvenile prints, slogans and anything at all from Joe Boxer. If they have holes in them, are from a past girlfriend or have stains on them … please, throw them out!
The general word is that boxers are sexy (mostly because they cover up a lot and leave something for the imagination). Also, according to a friend of mine, if there was a fire in the middle of the night and you had to run out of the house, you would rather run out in boxers than briefs since they a somewhat shorts like. Anything else would be embarrassing.
Then we have less mainstream options.
THONG
Okay, who actually wears these besides strippers? Does anyone actually know a guy who owns one of these? And if you are concerned about your “panty lines,” I am concerned about you.
EDIBLE UNDERWEAR. Let’s move on.
BIKINI BRIEFS (Speedo like underwear)
You better be European, otherwise there is no excuse.
COMMANDO
Wearing nothing but pants and a smile is certainly your prerogative. If you do so, however, I would politely suggest keeping the state of your … affairs … to yourself. Oh, and be careful when zipping up after a trip to the men’s room.
My underwear usually says (pleads actually), that it has had enough and the one little strand still attached to the elastic waistband is no longer enough.
As long as one thread remains.....
oops, I left this out of the BRIEF's section:
These better brands would include 2xist, Cin2, Calvins, DKNY, etc. And they aren’t just white and cotton anymore; you can get them in a variety of colors and fabrics. If you haven’t considered briefs in a while, check them out.
Oh, and if you are over the age of 15 and still wearing those BVDs or Fruit of the Looms, throw them out and go shopping! According to some trusted female friends, they are a deal breaker.
My underwear and I have a confidentiality pact.
safer that way...
Boxers provide a couple of things. 1st, the fly is "always open" so peeing is a snap. 2nd, they don't pinch and scrunch ya. As to the looks, I'll leave that up to you gals.
Boxers are very sexy!!
ahem..where are the photos?
When I start the "chick's undies" thread, I'll supply the photos. For this one, you gals are responsible. ;o)
Boxers
LOL!!!!
I never heard of the brands 2xist and Cin2. Am I officially old? Where do they sell these?
I love those boxers..do they snore??
My underwear says... I need to do laundry.
Mine just squeeks wearily, "shoot me ... please"
Of course, there's not a lot of room in there =)
