Boxer briefs. Best of both worlds.

+1. Not tight and stuffy while providing enough containment.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social -2 points 1 month ago

Worst of both worlds, they're the suburbs of underwear.

Used to wear boxers but now prefer briefs. Less material = more comfortable imho

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

Briefs, never liked boxers.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 3 points 1 month ago

Boxers, specifically woven boxers. In that the point of drawers is to filter farts and keep your legs from touching each other, they're the best option to do that. They're gma lighter-weight fabric than briefs or boxer-briefs; and also a stiffer fabric which means they won't ride up and let your legs start touching.

I have huge thigh muscles because I used to be fat and I just maintain them now. I like some fabric between my legs when out and about. Otherwise briefs would be fine. Still wouldn't choose them over boxer briefs because I find the style more aesthetically pleasing too.

I did wear boxers in my teens and they're fine. It's a pretty weak favorable preference towards boxer briefs tbh but I only buy one kind for whatever reason lol.

Depending on the mood. “Am I sleeping?” “Am I doing sports?” You can certainly keep a number of each.
