Helping guys with their overall
appearance is one thing, but it’s on the inside where it really counts. Whether it is
guys asking for advice, or girls asking out of curiosity,
everyone seems to be obsessing over the problem men have faced for years.
What’s actually better -- boxers or briefs?
For us ladies, it seems though we
have a million choices for undergarments. While we are enjoying such a wide range
of options, guys seem to continue to wear the same old stretched out,
hole-in-the-waistband underwear. It is time we break this pattern, gentlemen!
There’s no right answer to the boxers or briefs phenomenon; it just really
comes down to personal preference. Here are some pros and cons of your options, guys. Maybe
this will help you in making a well informed decision.
Boxers
The best thing about wearing boxers
is the health aspect they offer. Boxers are, technically, a better option because
of the extra room they provide. This offers airing out. Although
this may seem fantastic, one idea to keep in mind is that an “airer area” will, potentially, let odors escape a lot easier. Oh geez, look out for that!
Boxers have far more fabric than
briefs, which can be tricky if you are wearing tighter jeans or pants; the
excess fabric will ride up into some sort of a mushroom cloud above your
waistline. They also don’t give a lot of support, leaving you, well, dangling. Not really good for when you are participating in any sort of physical
activity.
For those of you who favor boxers,
a few things to keep in mind: stay away from those tacky, crazy print boxers, or
anything with a cartoon character on them. While funny patterns and sexy
slogans on your underwear can be good for a laugh, I guarantee they are not attractive. Secondly, silk boxers are not good for every day wear! They are all right
for sleeping in, if you’re into that sort of thing. Actually, probably just
don’t wear them ever. It’s kind of high maintenance. Am I right ladies?
In my opinion, if you're still wearing boxers, it's time to get with the times. Come on boys, keep up!
Briefs
Briefs are a popular alternative
for guys who don’t like the freedom and space that a pair of boxers can offer.
Due to their snug fit, they stop your parts from uncomfortably dangling when you are pacing around campus, climbing stairs or working out. Made in
plain fabrics, it’s difficult to go wrong or have them clash with an outfit.
They’re just such an easy option to wear.
Since briefs are so easy, this
means they are the underwear of choice for boys who lack the desire to go
shopping. Briefs normally come in a convenient package, in sets of seven, at your
local grocery store. They have a disadvantage as far as
health goes, for the opposite reason that boxers will be better. Briefs don’t
exactly have a lot of ventilation, causing problems in both health and
cleanliness. They also leave your inner thigh exposed, leaving you open to
horrible sweating and chafing if you are wearing denim in hot weather or walking
around a lot.
Hopefully, these pros and cons
helped you make an informed decision on whether boxers or briefs are the winner
for you. It all comes down to comfort and keeping your “bits” healthy. Good
luck, boys!
