For a detailed timeline on the evolution of the male underwear, check out this article on Man’s Touch¹.

You wear underwear on a daily basis² and you likely pay no attention to your current stash of garments. Some may have stains on them, some may have holes, and since you’re a lazy sack of man, you really haven’t much thought into replacing them with new pairs.

Let’s pretend you are self-aware of this issue and are interested in improving your life by improving your underwear collection. Good boy!

The following are rules to remember about underwear, no matter what the type may be:

1. Avoid white underwear when you know you might be with a woman. No matter how immaculate you might be, you will likely get a stain or two on your undergarments, even if it is as minimal as a urine stain because you didn’t shake well enough after you peed. Definitely steer clear of white underwear in general if you don’t know how to wipe properly; you’re asking for ridicule if you do that.
2. Also in regard to colors: Keep it plain. I would avoid funky designs on your undergarments, if at least to avoid that awkward moment when your pants are hanging low and someone glancing at your waistline sees tie-dye popping out.
   If you want to keep it even simpler: Black, white, or gray underwear. They work perfectly under any kind of pant and do not draw any additional, unwanted attention.
3. Taking this idea from women: Consider owning different styles of underwear. Most women own a few thongs, a few g-strings, and a few normal panties. For a man, even if it’s owning a few pairs of boxers and a few pairs of boxer briefs, have some flexibility in your options.
4. To maintain your underwear’s look, clean them immediately after being worn; this prevents any stains from setting in. Leaving soiled garments in your hamper for days at a time could reduce their shelf life.
5. You should buy new underwear when there are visible holes or stains or when they just don’t fit snug anymore. For example: When the fabric on a boxer brief around the thighs goes from tight to baggy, it is time to donate them; it means they worn their welcome.
6. While some consider it “rude” to do so, I suggest donating your undergarments,³ unless they are visibly damaged or stained. I know beggars can’t be choosers, but they’re not poor enough to wear stained underwear. If your underwear is that polluted, the people at the donation center will likely discard them.

Now that you know the basic rules of “underwear conduct”, here are the types of underwear styles available; some to embrace and some to avoid entirely⁴.

(Note: The Amazon product recommendation on the sides are only for types of underwear you should consider wearing, which would explain no recommendations for the jock strap, brief, and thong. If you feel the need to wear a man thong, go to your local adult video retailer and ask for their input; they probably got some excellent suggestions.)

Briefs

The tighty-whitey has along been associated as the “generic” male underwear until being replaced by the boxer sometime in the 1990s, so if your visual of a pair of briefs involve an old man with a gut, you’re not too far-fetched.

Little kids wear briefs too, mostly because they have no other choice.

So… the only people who wear “tighty-whitey” briefs are old men and little kids who don’t have other options. You, an under 30⁵ with options should not really consider the normal brief, but if you are a bit more risque about your underwear choices, I would consider…

Bikini

My girlfriend introduced me to the bikini brief recently and after a brief bit of reluctance, I am now a fan.

Yes, I know there is a certain stereotype attached to the bikini brief. Many will associate tje bikini brief with older Europeann men or homosexual men posing for Calvin Klein i black-and-white, but if you have the body to wear it, no woman can resist a man wearing a pair⁶.

Bikini briefs are actually very comfortable on the male genitalia. Unlike boxers, which just let the testicles hang low, bikini briefs protect the balls, and unlike normal briefs, bikini briefs actually make your package look nice for the lady lucky enough to view them.

And, let’s face it: Who would you rather be compared to: A European homosexual model who would possibly get a lot of vagina if he was into that sort of thing or a 73-year old man who cannot get an erection⁷?
