With nature in full bloom and the days getting longer and hotter, it’s time to give the warmest welcome to the best season of the year – summer! For some, this means finally taking a breather from all work responsibilities and fully getting into vacation planning mode. While others don’t tolerate the heat during the day, they certainly enjoy spending their nights amid a cool breeze with a refreshing drink in hand, simply reveling in life’s simple pleasures. However, the one thing that makes summer the best time of the year is the beach!
We can’t imagine going through the summer without having at least one beach day! Think about it – the atmosphere is chilled out with groovy afro beats playing in the background, people are oiled up and getting their tan on, and you can easily spot someone running toward the water, having their very own ‘Baywatch’ moment. In short, a perfect beach day is the closest thing we have to heaven!
And, of course, there are those people who have worked on their bodies for an entire year and are literally on the edge of their seats to show off their godly physique wearing the hottest pair of men’s sexy swimwear. If you’re one of them, there’s nothing to be ashamed of! You’ve been training like a beast – this gives you bragging rights all season long! On the other hand, even if you’re not a show-off, don’t feel bad about throwing a glance or two. Who knows, you just might end up with the most thrilling summer fling!
However, as you’re admiring the sights (don’t worry, we all like to do people-watch sometimes), you can’t help but notice some guys rocking underwear with swim trunks. While the pairing may seem peculiar at first, you can’t help but question the reasons for this. Are they afraid of the accidental slip? Do they want to show off their lingerie line? And finally - should I wear underwear with swim trunks?
This is where the experts behind MaleBasics are stepping in. Wearing underwear with swim trunks is not unusual, as many people have different reasons for doing it. Still, more suitable options for your underwear, setting, and yourself might be available! So, let’s dive right into the subject so you can adequately prepare for the summer.
 
Underwear With Swim Trunks - Yay or Nay
Despite what some people may tell you, underwear with swim trunks is not the best combo, let alone a good one - for multiple reasons. Take it like this - if you’re wearing boxers, briefs, and even thongs underneath your trunks, you’re not wearing the right swimwear. However, to give you a better understanding of the topic, let’s look into some of the main aspects of why you should opt for this combination.
 
You’re Ruining Your Underwear
As you know, swimwear and underwear aren’t made from the same materials. Trunks are usually made from light materials that dry off in a matter of minutes and allow you to move comfortably in the water. In contrast, underwear typically consists of a mix of cotton and polyester, and while they may be moisture-wicking, they certainly take longer to dry.
Naturally, the latter doesn’t work well when it’s completely drenched in water, and you’re actually ruining them if they’re constantly wet. The moisture will make your underwear lose its shape even if it sticks to your legs, and pool chemicals can greatly affect the material, making them unwearable much faster than their expected “lifespan”. That said, if you treasure your lingerie, especially the pairs from Male Basics, just don’t wear underwear with swim trunks - you won’t be doing yourself any service.

It’s Even Bad For The Pool!
We love a beach day as much as the next guy. However, not all of us are the biggest fans of the deep blue sea, so we opt for a slightly smaller body of water, somewhere we can actually see everything around us. In this case, you need to be extra careful about wearing underwear with swim trunks. In fact, you shouldn’t wear them at all!
We’ve already established how chlorine and other chemicals used in pool water can ruin your undies. What you may not know is that this is a double-edged sword. While the water is running your underwear, they do the same thing to the pool! Cotton fibers break apart in chlorinated water and rake up in the pool filter. Too many of it causes a build-up, ultimately destroying the filter. Who knew that a simple pair of underwear could cause so much damage?
On top of that, everyone knows what happens in pools. Since cotton quickly picks up bacteria, just imagine how easy it is to catch some nasty infection! This is the last thing you need, so the safest thing to do is completely ditch underwear with swim trunks and opt for men’s sexy swimwear instead!
 
Underwear + Swimwear = A Fashion Faux Pas
You’ve gone through blood, sweat, and tears to get the ultimate summer body, and now it’s finally time to show it off to the world! Naturally, you’re dreaming of your epic coming-out-the-water moment like you see models doing in sexy swimwear campaigns. Now, imagine you’re having this moment while wearing underwear with swim trunks. It just doesn’t click, doesn’t it?
While this is merely subjective, underwear with swim trunks just doesn’t go fashion-wise. At Male Basics, we carefully design all of our swimwear to perfectly accentuate your body and highlight the aspects you want to be in the spotlight (you know, the ones we’re talking about!). If you slap a pair of undies underneath them, despite them being nice-looking, the whole combination will surely seem off. With this in mind, don’t stress over wrinkles and bulges where they shouldn’t be. On the contrary, refresh your summer attire with new pairs of sexy men’s swimwear!
 
You Have All The Support You Need
Arguably, the biggest reason why men decide to wear underwear with swim trunks is due to support concerns. Whenever we get into the water, our family jewels tend to move as they wish, and some men find that simply uncomfortable and causes them to be self-conscious. Interestingly enough, if you’re one of these people, you shouldn’t blame the human anatomy but rather your swimwear choice!
High-quality swimwear, be it comfortable trunks or cheeky briefs, is specially designed to provide support and comfort in all the right places. That said, if your jewels are moving around a lot, either the trunk you’re wearing is not of the best quality, or your size isn’t correct.
 
Is It Okay To Wear Underwear with Swim Trunks Sometimes?
We’ve mostly been negative on the subject of whether you should wear underwear with swim trunks. Luckily, there are a few instances where you can actually rock them!
For one, swimwear tends to cause chafing, which can put quite a number on your plan for the perfect beach day. We don’t tend to feel this because we’re usually in the water, but if you’re wearing them for the entire day without getting wet, you’ll know exactly what we mean. In those cases, if you have a beach volleyball tournament coming up, for example, it’s perfectly acceptable to wear underwear with swim trunks. This will prevent chafing and will keep you comfortable at all times.
Another time you can opt for the somewhat unlikely combination is if your swimwear is super revealing but not in a good way. As much as you like to be the star at the beach, not everyone will want to see your package in its full glory. So, if you think your trunks will expose more than they should, give them a test run in the shower. This will show you how transparent they are, ensuring you whether you need to opt for underwear. In any case, this will never happen if you get men’s sexy swimwear from Male Basics!
