Different types of men’s underwear:

Choosing the right type of underwear to suit the correct activity is very important. That is because few men realize that the wrong choice of underwear can ruin a man’s entire day. 

Similarly, those who indulge in sporting activities should choose the type of sports underwear suitable for that particular sport. 

Boxers:

Boxers afford a lot of breathability to the user as they are loose-fitting. However, boxers offer little or no support to the private parts. They are practical because they have the fly feature which acts as an escape route. Men can opt for a tighter fit for more leg support. Many varieties and patterns in boxers are available in the market. They are great sports underwear to wear every day. Boxers can be worn well under shorts and also fitted leg sportswear. 

Boxer briefs:

Boxer briefs are a hybrid of two major sports underwear types. Men’s boxer briefs are designed to look like a tapered boxer, but with a snug fit. Sports boxer briefs remain comfortable even after a long active workout. Men’s boxer briefs can be used along with a t-shirt while doing physical activities. The length of a men’s boxer brief reaches down to midthigh and rides up well up on the waist. They can be paired well with wool, denim, or coarse fabric. 

Trunks:

Trunks are the most popular form of sports underwear for men. One of the reasons for this is that the trunk resembles both a sports brief as well as a boxer brief. Trunks have often been called sports boxer briefs with short legs. Their square shape makes them very comfortable and they are most preferred for swimming. They can also be worn for moderate sports activity.

Briefs:

Sports briefs are the most commonly used underwear for men. They are very comfortable for sporting activities as they cover the pelvic region but leave the upper thighs and the sides of the legs exposed for greater flexibility of movement. Sports briefs are available in a wide variety of colors, patterns, and designs.

Athletic support briefs:

For those who engage in rigorous sports activities like football, athletics, etc. there are athletic support briefs with added support technology inbuilt in the fabric. The crotch area is also well supported. The briefs hug the muscles and offer tensile strength while jumping and running.  

How to consider the fit aspect of men’s sports underwear:

Just as you choose different types of clothes for different activities; so should your choice differ regarding underwear also. Those who indulge in sports activities should also wear the proper type of underwear suitable for that activity. 

Slim men:

They should avoid wearing sports boxer shorts because they will look very baggy on them. Just like a diaper or matchsticks sticking out of a sack of fabric. Trunks will suit this body type best. So it will be better if they opt for the tighter options.

Taller guys:

Tall guys with long legs should always go for boxer briefs. These fit well and cover most of the leg length and prevent one from having a gangly look. You can always play with different colors and patterns and prints to cover your legs.

The short lads:

Sports briefs are the best bet for them as they show more of leg and give an illusion of length. Boxers or sports boxer briefs should be avoided as they make the person appear much shorter.

Advantages of buying men’s gym underwear:

While cotton boxer briefs and cotton underwear are most preferred by men as underwear in India; it is wise to opt for gym underwear made of synthetic materials like nylon, spandex, rayon, polyester, etc. Men’s sports underwear made from these materials have high moisture-wicking properties and dry quickly even after vigorous activities with a copious amount of sweating. This sweat-absorbing property of synthetic fabrics helps to keep the sensitive areas dry and prevents microbial infection and body odor. It keeps the sportsman comfortable during his sporting activity and after it.
