Ultimate Guides to Men's Underwear

How to Find Your Ideal Pair of Underwear

Finding a fabulous pair of underwear feels terrific. Yet with the explosion in choices of men’s underwear, it can be overwhelming and lead to sub-optimal underwear purchases. I wrote these guides to take away the confusion and break down men’s underwear into essential characteristics. By reading each guide, you’ll quickly know what to look for when purchasing new underwear, and you’ll also learn my Quick Tips, so you don’t have to spend time learning all of the different options.

The first row is the basic ultimate guides for briefs, trunks/boxer briefs, and boxer shorts. Start here if this is your first time visiting MensUnderwearGuide.com. This will provide you in-depth overviews of each of the main underwear styles for guys, so you have a well-rounded background.

After that, the next rows are my specific guides for distinct situations. More advanced readers will love these in-depth guides, while everyone can benefit when searching for specific types of underwear. If you have an idea of what you are looking for, these precise guides will bring you to the finish line of your shopping cart.

By breaking down the essential factors in comfort and style of underwear in these guides, I hope you will feel more confident searching online (or in-store) for pairs that are right for you. I also hope you will be encouraged to experiment and add variety and spice to your underwear collection.
