Title: underwear!
Post by: gri on June 15, 2021, 01:59:32 AM
I know this has been discussed somewhere but I couldn't find the thread, so here comes the underwear thread.

Underwear cannot be underestimated. I usually prefer boxers, but my favorite ones are not being produced anymore and they're starting to fall apart. I've got some briefs as well, but when I wear them to skate, my balls fall out on one side and they're too sticky and tight..  :(

any recommandations? I prefer boxers as they are less sticky but I've heard there are great briefs with extra room between the legs

I’d recommend against boxers. My older brother got testicular torsion running in middle school wearing boxers. He dealt with chronic groin pain for a long ass time before they had to surgically remove his ball.

It was funny to me and my other bros and kids on the block when we were younger. But looking back, the poor kid was in a ton of pain and had problems sleeping because of it. He was miserable

that’s my stupid cautionary tale. Take care of your body, you only have one

I've been using ExOfficio for at least 8 years.  I have never worn out a pair. They are super comfy and stretch as you need.

I strictly wore boxers forever, but tried a pair of boxer briefs after getting some for Christmas and never looked back. Truly the superior underwear.

I wear fruit of the loom mesh boxer briefs. Comfy and cheap. My only beef is I got a medium and they fit my waist and thighs fine, but they make my ding ding tip turtle into the shaft a lil.

Uniqlo briefs or trunks are the best and they don't have any ugly branding on them.

Anyone know of a cheaper option that doesnt have any text on the waistband?

As someone who also hates text on the waistband, this is one of the reasons to get Uniqlo underwear.

Hows the supima cotton ones? And do you know if theres any noticeable difference between those and the AIRism ones?

The supima cotton ones are really nice and they're the nicest regular cotton underwear at that price. AIRism is that athletic type material that feels smooth and cool but it's not really for me.

I get the stance with the pouch from Ross, Marshall’s, etc for around $7 each. Get saxx from Nordstrom rack for around $12. Some have plain waist bands but I def want the pouch joint
