Mens underwear has come a long way over the years and there’s now nearly as many styles and fabrics to choose from as there are for women to choose in lingerie. Perhaps the driving force behind this is men have become much more demanding in what they require from underwear, additionally; men too can choose to wear underwear that makes them feel sexy.

With this increasing choice of mens underwear it may be useful to offer a few top tips to ensure that you know how to buy the right underwear for you.

Materials – mens underwear is available in a vast choice of fabrics, from traditional cotton, to organic cotton, silk, lycra and technical blends of microfibre materials. There are even anti bacterial fabrics, especially suited for sport and coolmax material designed to wick moisture away from the skin. The ideal thing is to handle the garment and decide how it feels for you and whether it will be comfy. The technical microfibres are probably the prime choice as they are much more versatile and comfy in different climates, unlike silks. To some extent it is a trial and error process, but once you have found one you like, stick to it.

Styles – know you style and don’t be afraid to experiment. Mens thongs and g-strings are fast becoming one of, if not the most popular choice for men and testimony to this is the fact that almost all designer labels such as Calvin Klein and producing them to demand. Most men who are not yet thonging, dismiss them for many, however, all that I would state is that don’t knock them until you’ve tried them. Nevertheless, thongs aren’t for every one and so you might be more suited to the traditional brief or the ever popular boxer brief. What ever your style it is vital to ensure that you place comfort before vanity and select something that’s the right size and offers the necessary support for you.

Sport – there’s now underwear available that’s specifically produced for performance during sport and if you’re an active male, then it is well worth spending the extra can to get specially designed sports underwear. Did you know that testicular traumas are one of the most common testicle problems for men and this can be avoided by wearing the correct supportive underwear? You can now also buy anti bacterial underwear that minimises fungal infections and the common ‘jockeys itch’ which develops where there’s a abundant concentration of moisture and warmth and so anti bacterial and coolmax fabrics that wick moisture away from the skin are a desirable choice.

I bet you didn’t appreciate that there could be so much to think about when buying men’s underwear. The main thing is to get to know your own style and preferences and don’t be afraid to try new ones. One of the major mistakes that most men make isn’t spending enough.
