Wipe your ass better and, if you've still got issues, get a cover.

Boxerbriefs. Boxers just bunch up.

[โ€“] KlavKalashj@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Briefs, absolutely. The boxer trend is ridiculous. It's getting hard finding briefs here at all, in Sweden. Imo, it all stems from middle school insecurity. We were all told briefs were gay and so now everyone is using boxers.

[โ€“] shapesandstuff@feddit.de 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i agree with the cause for boxer popularity, but boxer briefs are superior to both imo.

Oh wait, I might be behind on my terminology. What is the difference between boxers and boxer briefs? I think of boxers as the ones with legs, but they are tight. I just realized, according to american movies, that the shorts-style boxers might be popular? Boxers that are not tight fit. Am I correct?

[โ€“] shapesandstuff@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah idk, the shorts style loose boxers were somewhat common among friends in my teens (EU), but I never understood it.
I'm talking about the "sport boxers" aka boxer briefs that are elastic and tight fitting but have legs

[โ€“] portifornia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Oh that's interesting! Locally in the US I'm always noticing the opposite: it's all briefs or boxer-briefs, rarely boxers.

Joey, is that you?

Boxer briefs seem to be the popular choice with the guys I know.

[โ€“] pixelscript@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Briefs. Actual support. The singular function underwear has.

Boxers are just commando with extra steps. Utterly pointless.

I consider all enlightened boxer brief centrists to be strictly in the briefs camp as boxer briefs are just briefs with leg extensions.

[โ€“] Fizz@lemmy.nz 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Briefs for day to day and for exercise. Boxers for full on lazy man mode balls hanging no shirt goblin mode.

[โ€“] space_of_eights@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

+1. I am an avid runner and on running days, I wear briefs. On rest days, I prefer shorts.

[โ€“] portifornia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Lol, that explains why I'm always in boxers! ๐Ÿ˜…

Boxers or boxerbriefs. I just find them more comfortable than briefs personally.

They're also sexier looking than briefs in my opinion. I always feel like I look good with boxers that hug the upper thighs tightly and give a good outline of the bulge.

[โ€“] tuto193@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Boxer-briefs 100%

[โ€“] featured@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Boxer briefs. Best of both worlds

[โ€“] Robot_Servo_81@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Briefs absolutely, hate boxers because of rolling and bunching.

[โ€“] finickydesert@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Depends on the weather

[โ€“] themadcodger@kbin.earth 3 points 1 year ago

Briefs. The problems guys complain about re: fit are usually because they're cheap and/or don't fit well. Find the right pair of briefs, and it's like wearing nothing at all. And nothing bunching up your legs either.

[โ€“] Facky@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Boxer briefs

I like briefs but find regular briefs too short (ironically)

[โ€“] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago
[โ€“] Churbleyimyam@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I haven't worn underwear since 2010 but if I had to choose it would be briefs because there is less fabric.

Boxer briefs.

[โ€“] Zahille7@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Briefs all the way. I have to have separation between my balls and thighs, it's way too annoying and uncomfortable for me to have them stick to my leg.

Also I need to lose some weight, cause my thighs rub together when I walk, and briefs help make that more comfortable.

[โ€“] BingBong@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Saxx solves this (and I think a few other brands) by giving your balls a pouch. Super comfortable and adds the comfort of boxers.
