Hi all,

I am looking for some advice regarding underwear. I tend to wear H&M trunks but have lately been having some issues with the waistband being highly uncomfortable. After a day of work I can see the imprints of my underwear in my skin all around the waistband. I have tried buying a bigger size (normally I wear Medium so I tried Large) but found that the trunks move around a lot, which makes me think that Large would be too big of a size for me. Being 5ft10 and 70kg from what I have seen on the internet Medium would be the recommended size as well. I have also tried boxer shorts but the little to no support they give me makes it feel highly uncomfortable. I know H&M may not be the best quality and I wouldn't mind investing in some more expensive underwear, I am just looking for some advice on what others would suggest. I do like the style of trunks so perhaps some trunks that are a bit wider around the waistband / more flexible? It sounds like a bit of a silly question but it has been causing me some issues lately and rather than buying tons of different underwear to try out I thought I would ask around and see if anyone perhaps has some advice on this topic.
Any advice is hugely appreciated.

I’ve been wearing UniQlo boxer briefs for a few years and am very pleased with the comfort and overall quality.

I only wear Ex Officio Give and Go boxers. They are super comfortable, last forever, wash and dry quickly (if traveling).

I buy a size larger than I normally wear. I am a little heavier than you (84kg) and I wear size XL when everything else is L or M.

If you have color flexibility, you could do well on price.

Flint and Tinder boxer briefs.

Swiss-made are the best, most comfortable 100% cotton trunks I have ever worn. They keep their shape/size all day long without stretching out like other cotton trunks do, so they feel as 'secure' at the end of the day as when you first put them on. They are hardly the cheapest, but they are super-comfortable, last forever and can be found on sale from time to time. No problem with shrinkage, so order your actual size.

They're also very expensive, so.....

I would echo SG 67's recommendation of UniQlo Airism undershorts and would add a recommendation for Ribbed Tee's rib knit cotton T's for one's undershirts.

I used to wear BBs boxers. Now I am exclusive with Under-armor boxer briefs. Much more comfortable, they last 2-3 years per pair and the price isn't bad.

Cheers,

I recommend Marks & Spencers cotton trunks, £6 per pair. I rotate mine, wearing each pair but once a fortnight, discarding and replacing every two years.

I've been happy with Calvin Klein cotton boxer-briefs for years, but recently tried Uniqlo Airism and a similar pair from Lululemon. They do the job and I will continue to wear them, but I find I'm just more comfortable in cotton. (Have several Hanes cotton boxer-briefs, too, but they don't have the quality of the CK and don't hold their shape.)

The Airism's are the best there is for hot, humid climates. At least that has been my experience.

Likely true! I bought mine in the fall, so haven't experienced hot or humid in them yet. But I visit Redding, CA every month - so it's coming up quick!

Thank you for the advice guys, seriously appreciate this feedback.

Any particular recommendation? I would probably not go for the low rise ones as I dont tend to wear mine that low. Also, how are these size-wise?

They fit me. That's all I know.

I'm a 32 waist and the medium fit me well.

 

[eagle2250]

^^I order one size up from what I used to wear in Jockey Boxer Briefs and the Uniqlo's fit comfortably. :happy:

In underwear-size I'm now a 40, that's pretty big from where I was just a few years ago when I was a 36-38 size.

Sorry Mike if that was too much information, I thought we were also discussing waist size too, you can go back to what you were previously discussing.

Uniqlo Airism is life changing.
