The Best Men’s Underwear Styles For Every Body Type

Wondering which underwear style is best for your body? You might be surprised by the results. Keep reading to discover the best men’s underwear styles for every body type, from those with athletic builds to slim men. 

Briefs

Briefs are the ideal underwear style for those with muscular bodies, especially men with larger thighs. Typically boxer briefs or trunks don’t tend to work for men with bigger thighs because they’ll ride up. Briefs are also a great way to show off your body, which you may be particularly inclined to do if you’re muscular. Another body type briefs are perfect for is short men. Briefs allow you to show off more of your legs, making them appear longer. So if you’re looking to add a few extra inches to your physique, look no further than classic briefs.

Boxers

We’re going to work backwards for this one. Rather than telling you the body type best suited to boxers, we’re going to tell you which body type should avoid them: slim men. The looseness of boxers will only accentuate your thin body, and as such, we recommend a more snug-fitting pair of underwear like trunks or boxer briefs.

Further, if you have an athletic build but aren’t comfortable in briefs, then boxers are a great go-to. Unlike snug-fitting boxer briefs or trunks, a loose pair of boxers will be able to accommodate extra muscle in the thigh, without riding up. Boxers are also a great option for sleeping as they are extremely breathable. 

As the loosest fitting style of underwear on this list, a pair of cotton boxers makes a great addition to your underwear drawer, no matter your body type, as they’re extremely comfortable and will keep you cool in the evening. 

Boxer Briefs

Boxer briefs are the universal style that are compatible with pretty much any male body type, though they are particularly suited to taller men and men with larger posteriors. The higher waistband of many boxer brief styles is ideal for tall men who find other underwear styles too short or prone to slipping down. Boxer briefs are also well suited to men with large posteriors who find a classic pair of briefs doesn’t provide enough coverage in the rear. 

Trunks

The ideal body for trunks is slim men. A hybrid between a brief and a boxer brief, the high-thigh fit is best for thinner men, as men with larger thighs will likely find these ride up when they walk. Plus, because of how snug this underwear style fits, slimmer men won’t have to deal with extra fabric bunching up and making them appear thinner. 

The Sexiest Styles of Men’s Lace Underwear

If you have yet to take advantage of Malebasics’ exclusive line of men’s lace underwear – now is the time! Seriously, a pair of lace boxers will change your life. Soft, sexy, and supportive, there is nothing quite like slipping on a pair of lace boxers at the end of the day.

For a little inspiration, check out this list of the sexiest styles of men’s lace underwear.

Open Boxer

Boxers aren’t sexy? Think again! This men’s lace open boxer short is sure to change your perception of the ever-popular boxer. Say goodbye to flannel plaid and hello to sultry black lace. This style features the same snug-fitting cut you love in a boxer brief, but combines it with the sexiness usually reserved for thongs and g-strings. The lace offers a peek of what’s underneath, while still providing full coverage and support in the front and rear. To top it off, MOB Eroticwear’s Lace Open Boxer short features cut outs on the sides that will leave you feeling as seductive as ever.

Pouch Thong

For that barely there feeling, consider the pouch thong. This men’s thong style takes things to the next level. The soft lace fabric (available in red, black, white, hot pink, and turquoise) helps give them a sexy and romantic edge, while the triple string waistband offers a unique design you won’t find anywhere else. Another thing we love about MOB Eroticwear’s Pouch Thong? The fabric is so luxurious and stretchy, it won’t even feel like you’re wearing a thong. Seriously, they’re that comfortable!

Crossed Back Bikini

If this is your first foray into the world of sexy men’s underwear, we think the Crossed Back Bikini is the perfect place to start. This trendy style provides all the comfort of a men’s bikini, but with a literal and figurative twist in the form of the cross back. The transparent nature of the lace will already boost your confidence, but the peekaboo style on the back truly knocks this sexy style out of the park.

Mini Cheek

Think of the men’s lace Mini Cheek as a cross between a bikini and a boxer. If you’re after the support of a boxer with the fit of a bikini, then the mini cheek is for you. Plus, the mini cheek, with its slightly exposed rear, will make you feel sexy and confident all day long.

Jockstrap

A jockstrap should be part of every man’s wardrobe, but here’s why we love the lace men’s jockstrap in particular. Lace jockstraps are an ultra sexy version of the traditional style. They conform to your body shape, enhance and protect your manhood, and leave your rear fully exposed. However, unlike a thong, the lace jockstrap frames your buttocks and even lifts it up slightly, making it look better than ever. Finally, the soft as silk lace fabric fits smoothly under any types of bottoms, making it suitable for everyday wear, as well as the bedroom.

Everything You Need to Know About the New Malebasics Titanium + Collection

Titanium + has arrived!

Titanium + is the newest line from Malebasics, designed with athletes in mind. If you wish to take your workout to the next level, this is the underwear for you. The result of years of research and testing, each pair of Malebasics Titanium + men’s underwear was engineered for maximum performance. How exactly does this work, you may be wondering? Continue reading for a breakdown of the benefits behind the construction and design of each Titanium + garment. (Warning: By the end of this article, you’ll be wanting to buy a pair ASAP). 

Maximum Breathability

Breathe like never before. If you thought microfiber was breathable, you’ll be amazed by the Titanium + boxer. Titanium + combines three types of fabric into one pair of underwear to ensure maximum air flow during the most intense workouts. Each fabric plays a different yet equally important role in the design of the boxer. First, the material covering the legs and buttocks is made from nylon and lycra. This tried and trusted combo facilitates moisture release, minimizes humidity exchange, and ultimately improves breathability. The second fabric was used for the inner leg panels. These panels were created using Malebasics’ signature, ultra light microfiber, which not only provides a snug and supportive fit, but also prevents chafing and activates air flow. The third fabric, used for the nesting pouch, is perforated microfiber (more on that below, because this new technology deserves its own point!).

Perforated Microfiber Technology 

Titanium + uses never-before-seen micro perforated fabric for the ergonomic nesting pouch. This unique fabric truly takes this new performance collection to the next level. The flat lock seams on the pouch regulate temperature where you need it most, by isolating the front pouch from the legs. This allows for specific temperature control of this sensitive area. Combined with the perforated microfiber’s quick-drying properties, you can bet that you’ll remain cool and dry no matter how much you sweat.

No Ride-Up Guarantee

I don’t know about you, but my personal pet peeve is when you’re working out and your underwear keeps riding up. This is especially common during high intensity workouts like CrossFit. Malebasics’ Titanium + line solves this uncomfortable problem. In fact, the no ride-up guarantee is one of my favourite features of this new line. Malebasics added super soft and sleek leg bands to keep boxers in place. Each band prevents the fabric from riding up and bulging between the thighs, which also helps facilitate air flow. 

Each Pair is Ethically Made

With concerns being raised over the factory working conditions of some of the world’s major retailers, it’s extremely reassuring to know that each pair of Malebasics’ Titanium + underwear was ethically made. In fact, the Titanium + line was made in the company’s own factory in Medellin, Colombia under strict labor conditions. Meanwhile, the underwear was designed in Canada and tested by athletes in the United States. Thus, you can rock a pair of Titanium + boxers totally guilt free.
