Briefs

Men's briefs are the most worn underwear. With a lot of freedom of movement thanks to their short legs, briefs go well with sporting activities and are also very popular in everyday life.

Tanga Briefs, Mini Briefs & Bikinis

These sexy undies have a few things in common - they get by with the minimum of fabric, are tightly cut and still cover the front and back completely. While mini briefs , which are also known as bikini briefs, have a very high leg, tanga briefs even do without the side material. Both styles are very well suited if you like your underwear to be revealing and freedom of movement is important to you.

Boxer briefs, retro pants & boxer shorts

As comfortable everyday underwear or a stylish fashion accessory - boxer shorts are very popular and therefore available in a wide variety of types and designs. Boxer briefs are particularly popular among the chic pants, as their fit is the perfect symbiosis of figure-hugging men's briefs and casual boxer shorts. The tight-fitting shorts, which can also be found under the term retropants or trunks, guarantee you great support in every situation. On top of that, boxer shorts are simply very comfortable to wear and also look damn good.

Thongs

Yes, they are also available for men! The thong is the sexy lingerie par excellence to show off the booty and is no longer only at home in the women's world. Striking for the thong is the typical triangular cut (tanga) on the back and the connecting piece (thong), which runs between the buttocks to the front of the pouch. So if you want to be a bit more daring, a thong could be just the right underwear for you. Incidentally, under tight clothing, the tight thongs have the great advantage that no contours are visible.

Jockstraps & Bottomless Underwear

Sporty and super sexy at the same time! Jockstraps have found their way into athletes' wardrobes as a necessary suspensory and are now a fashionable must-have for men who like bottomless underwear. The extravagant jocks have a push-up effect thanks to the straps running under the buttocks and are ideal as erotic men's underwear.

characteristics

• Sporty & sexy
• Suspenders (jockstrap)
• Elastic waistband

Long Johns

Exactly the right underwear for the cold season! Long undies for men are also known as "long johns" and are often worn under thinner suit pants or as ski underwear in winter. Their figure-hugging cut and practical design ensure that the long underpants keep you warm and are not visible under clothing.

Special shapes and extras

Functional underwear adapts to the needs of its wearer and also has a few extras if you wish. Below you will find out more about push-up variants and which additional features are also very popular in modern men's underwear.

Push-up Underwear

Practical push-up briefs and boxer shorts easily create the look you want and shape your curves in a targeted manner. With the help of inserted ribbons, for example, the genitals are slightly raised in Andrew Christian's Show-It underwear in order to optically bring more volume into the undies. Other brands, on the other hand, rely on push-up inserts, which pad the desired areas for the sexy look and at the same time offer a very comfortable fit.

Fly

The opening in men's undies originally served for direct and quick access to the member, but is more decorative in current underwear models and is often accompanied by matching contrasting seams.

pockets

Side pockets can often be found in the collections of cool boxer shorts. The stylish pockets not only spice up the design, but can also be extremely practical for storing smaller items.

tagless

No more annoying labels! Tagless underwear does not have labels with material information, care instructions, etc. With this type of underwear, all important information is accommodated by a skin-friendly print on the inside.

Pouch

The shaped front of briefs and boxers is specially designed for men and keeps everything in its place. The extra pouch in these underpants not only makes them more comfortable to wear but also gives them a masculine look.

The best underwear:

Whether boxers, briefs or perhaps a completely different style are the best undies for a man cannot be answered in general and still depends primarily on one's own taste.

So think twice when making your choice and nothing can go wrong to find the right shape and be completely satisfied with your new underwear.
