Poll:Which underwear for men do you like? Check all that you like.
This thread about thongs encouraged me to start a poll here regarding men's underwear. Which underwear for men do you like? (This is my first poll here, so I hope that it works)
Re: Poll:Which underwear for men do you like? Check all that you like.
I’ve tossed out previous ideas of what underwear is supposed to look like, and I’m wearing what works for me and seems to make sense.
I grew up wearing Hanes and Jockey white briefs, and even wore them all through college. I eventually tried boxes and really tried to like them. After all, if they are so popular, there must be something about them that makes sense, right? I tried various materials and a variety of sizes, but I never had any that I really liked. They always bunched up inside my pants. If I had loose fitting pants, they gave zero support.
Then, one day, I developed a painful prostate condition and I started looking for underwear that offered better support. I could get more support with briefs that were a little smaller, but they tended to crush. In a desperate moment, I tried a thong from Target. Wow! It was so much better! It gave nice, gentle support, without crushing. I looked for reviews online, and eventually found lots of other “pouch” and “contour” thongs and briefs that worked so well, that I threw away the original thongs from Target. I’ll admit that the bulging underwear looks vulgar, lewd, and ridiculous, but they are surprisingly comfortable! I now rotate between my contour briefs and thongs.
As I mentioned in the other thread, my wife laughs and thinks that I look ridiculous. Even I think that I look ridiculous. However, I still wear them a few times a week, and even wear them to exercise.

OK, you screwed up, it happens. Now apologize. But apologize just once. Make it loud, clear, short, to the point, and directly to those you trespassed against. Then move on.

I voted incorrectly in the poll, choosing the one's I did NOT find objectively appealing on men. Ooops. You'll have to discount the obvious ones.
I'd be on board with whatever my partner liked, but my preference is very nice boxer briefs (not white, though; plain white underwear for either men or women displeases me because it is too bland).

For me, boxer briefs (trunk style) is my daily choice, I don't mind briefs if they are cut right (not quite the unconfortable "bikini" but not the Fruit-of-the-loom variety). I will admit I have a couple g-string thongs I bought myself from an online store to try out which I agree look ridiculous but are strangely comforting to put on and supportive, I've worn them under boxers on cold days. But then I actually dislike boxers they contribute nothing except possible keeping your sweat off you trousers. Commando is always an option, especially on laundry day.

It was during a phase of nagging curiosity about what they would feel like to wear. Nobody else was going to buy them for me, it satisfied an itch to buy them, felt kind of naughty to try them, they are more comfortable than I thought but the idea of getting caught with them on, by say paramedics saving my life in an accident or something, keeps them in the back of the underwear drawer. Thongs are really hot on women, not on me... Though they are hardly used, I'm thinking of tossing them before someone rummages through my dresser and has a joke at my expense
