Briefs, trunks, boxer briefs, boxers or....commando

Your choice gents?

Used to be a boxer guy, but they would just ride up too much.

Switched to boxer briefs for the daily and exercise wear.

Sleep wear is mesh shorts or commando depending on the season / heat.

I guess if you really want to know, I mostly wear Separatec boxer briefs. 

My thighs are quite large compared to many guys as I do Strongman & powerlifting so I would have to constantly adjust my sack so it didn't get smashed. Gave them a shot on a whim due to a sale and now the boys stay perfectly in place all the time, no adjustments necessary. I was skeptical but they turned out to be a game changer.

There's other brands that have a similar design, I'm sure any of them are fine.

Boxers almost always. Have some just in case briefs. Only went commando a few times when I forgot to do laundry and had no  underwear. Nicking your dong with a zipper when going commando just gives me  heebie-jeebies.

Boxer briefs. Recently bought a pair from First Lite made from merino wool, I like them pretty good but went with my normal size of medium and should've went with small, as they're a little baggier than I like.

All boxer briefs, usually cotton, except when I'm getting exercise and sweating. Then, it's synthetic, moisture-wicking fabric. Boxers ride up when I tried putting on trousers (so do boxer briefs when the elastic wears out); and tighty-whities haven't been hip since the '80s and Risky Business.

You can't beat a good pair of boxer briefs.  They keep everything in place while not riding up like tighty whiteys.  Also they're just plain classy.

I remember reading somewhere that as you get older your underwear gradually changes with you. Obviously you start with diapers.  Then you graduate from those to the tighty whiteys.  After that you might migrate to boxers somewhere around the age of 10 and keep those right up until you graduate high school or a little after.  From then on its boxer briefs until you get really old where things start to go backwards.  Back to boxers, then tighty whiteys, then diapers again.  Funny how that works.

Trunks with some Lycra content, think compression shorts without so much compression.  They don't wedgie, don't bunch up and chafe, don't feel like shite if they get sweaty.  For both gym and daily wear.

any boxer briefs with a "ball pouch" are a game-changer. I wear Saxx (which are way pricier than most) and you can often find them cheaper on eBay or sometimes Marshalls/TJMaxx for like 70% off retail.

One of the best college game day signs I ever saw was for a Penn State game back before Paterno retired. It said “Joe Pa: boxers or briefs? Depends.”

Sport shorts the long ones 90percent cotton 10 percent spandex blend...the best features of all mens undergarments rolled into one.
