Who buys your underwear?
And what kind of underwear do you enjoy wearing the most?
Brief Encounters: What men’s underwear says about them
Let’s stick in a poll for the fun of it:
and
I buy my own boxers!
Been trying various brands over time, and so far the ones I got from BHS are the most comfortable & durable (especially the gray colored ones! I have no idea why!)
CK, Next & other ones provide the stretchy kind which is a PAIN! Kind of useful for sports, but NOT FOR GENERAL USAGE! x_x
So loose, cool & comfy is your style.
I wonder if the weather has anything to do with men’s underwear choice? (i.e. hot & humid)
Nope. Always the same.
I have a confession
I buy my younger brother briefs and boxer briefs. He’s turning 18 in Feb. Do you think its inappropriate and I should stop? To be clear, we don’t celebrate my purchases. Its just that if I find cool briefs, I would buy them and put them in his room. I would do the same for my older brother but he’s overweight and I never saw any nice ones his size.
dear niino I can totally understand your desire to buy your brother’s briefs. lol sometimes we see nice stuff and can’t resist buying them.
But what if the situation was reversed? And a brother bought a sister underwear (however cute and innocent)?
Perhaps our buying boxers for men is an innate desire to own some
“Perhaps our buying boxers for men is an innate desire to own some” Why, I do own some. In fact, I often wear boxers to bed (they have to either be collegiate boxers or ones with metro maps on them (like NY’s or London’s).
And to answer your question, I don’t think its appropriate for a brother t by his sister underwear. If I come up with a reason to defend my double standards, I’ll let you know.
Boxers > Briefs
its fun buying boxers for guys! lol
but as MBH mentioned, guys are kind of particular about what is comfy… so should one follow up with the guy? And would he be truthful about the fit?
I agree..has to be someone you know
You know, I don’t understand the checkered or colorful underwear. I mean, it’s not like I’m going to parade in my boxers o_O;
Maybe it’s meant for those who wear low-waist? *shrug*
I like ‘em plain.
Oh, and please, think of them as underwear, not cute baby shorts -_-;
can men’s underwear ever be seen as sexy?
its complicated when it comes to my underwear
white boxers for dishdasha
coloured boxers for bed
briefs when I wear jeans or trousers
it used to be nothing at all during my hippie days
Is it necessary for men to wear white boxers under the imkassar when wearing dishdasha?
Are briefs comfortable for Arab men to wear?
And can nothing ever be comfortable? lol
what other colour can I wear without making an arse out of myself? hehehe imagine red boxer under white dishadasha…
and nothing is the ultimate comfort
lol
I meant that wouldn’t just imkassar do? (without the undies)
I don’t if it is ok to keep replying on the same subject hehehe but the boxer helps avoid a wedgy and other scenes when wearing deshdasha and emkassar..
My word! One learns something new everyday about the simple sartorial intricacies of male apparel.
Thank you Traveleer for sharing
My sister wears boy briefs. Says they are much more comfortable than women’s panties, but she doesn’t know what to to with “the extra pocket”!
Now that is an idea!
I do but the Butler would be cool.. But first I would have to be Bruce Wayne.. cotton comfortable and some color! LOL
Hehehe the Butler would suit you Marzouq
I have high standards.. he would have to be English and have an attitude.. Just like Fresh Prince of Bel Air! lol
I wonder if those exist anymore?

Jewaira, N2N Bodywear seem to fit my body the best — <a href=rust or perhaps
Oops. Olive.

Yikes!!! lol so daring
Most of all I like to wear … clean !
Definitely CLEAN!
I don’t know about underwear, but my sister used to ‘borrow’ my lambswool socks…
It feels good to borrow male garments…but is it the same for you poor men? If you borrowed your sister’s hose, what would people say?
OK, and without being embarrassing, for those of us who are reasonably well endowed, boxer shorts offer aeration, but nowhere near enough support. Things can get trapped, sometimes painfully. Choice depends on a balance between good support and fresh air. I know you ladies would like to know more, but I would suggest you ask your men about their personal preferences. Maybe you should also tell them about yours….
I’m sure that like me, many women have never contemplated the intricacies of male underwear or that some are more comfortable than others. Like some of the comments above, we see certain kinds of boxer shorts as cute, perhaps sexy, but mostly cute and amusing.
Some women might like to see their men in tight silky spandex like gear, but I don’t know the comfort levels of that kind of underwear.
I suppose that just like men, women are influenced by the media (advertising) and trends – and think that just because that model wearing that bit of garment looks hot in it (hot meaning sexy and not in heat) doesn’t mean it is actually comfortable to wear all day in all kinds of conditions.
Underwear to men is like bras to women.
And some women choose to go bra-less
WHERE?????????
bra-less doesn’t mean naked.
You probably couldn’t tell under all the clothing – or can men discern whether or not a woman is wearing a bra?
ofcourse it shows why do you think i was asking?
====================
Then I have no answer

I’ll give you a brief inside. It happen some times in my younger days that I spend the night by a girlfriend, that she said after the shower in the morning and I was out of underwear ; Use one of mine.
It give me such a Thrill for the whole day that she was so nearby. My Gosh.Nearly make me jump instead of walk.
Hahahahaaha
a wonderful little memory Fons
Oh-oh-oh- I’m so unexperienced writing English.
I mean -insight- 1 The capacity to discern the true nature of a situation ; penetration. (www thefreedictionary) not -inside- !
The only English education is 45 years ago, the usual 2 year school study German French English.
After that I grew up oral not grammatical. But … mistakes can be funny, sometimes.
Such mistakes may witness the birth of a new word with a novel meaning
Who buys mens underwear ?
Now what kind of question is that ?
This is a no brainer – the wife , of course.
And yes, I only wear boxers.
Does one wear underwear under a sarong I wonder?
Or a Scottish kilt ? How about that ?
yes, I wonder
frilly ones perhaps?
In summers when the shade temperature in Kuwait swells upwards of 40 C it is rumoured few men in dishdashas go out wearing underwears. Call it the flavour of the season.
I suppose you speak from first hand experience
Right you are as always, Jewaira.
Scantalous!
Underwears are no longer a gender specific concern. Today, you find most luxury apparel retailers doing cross over unisex undies as you find them doing unisex vests, denims and scarves. Let’s move on; we shouldn’t even be discussing men’s underwears in the first place- it’s become passe.
I sense a male who is becoming increasingly paranoid discussing the state of his undergarments
Correction code, Jewaira.
“……increasingly paranoid discussing the state of OUR undergarments.”
I thought there was agreement on this much.
Besides men in Kuwait don’t need to wear underwear at all during summers. Imagine what the warm temperatures can do to their sperm count. Wearing underwear in Kuwaiti summers can somehow cramp their style ( meaning leading to azoospermia, oligospermia and male pattern infertility).
ooh goodness me!
In that case guys, better stick to the imkassar….
