You wouldn’t believe all the different types of men’s underwear there is available these days. Are you thinking about trying something a bit different, but don’t exactly know what you’re looking for? Well have a read through these beauties, and see if any tickle your fancy? Men’s underwear being popular are both practical and fashionable. While some underwear is worn for protection, other kinds of men’s underwear are worn for functionality, comfort and style. One of the most popular kinds of men’s underwear is the boxer shorts. This kind of men’s underwear has elastic waistbands and leg sections that are loose, breathable, and extend to the mid thigh.

The trunk silhouette is in fashion this year as men’s underwear, resembling men's swim trunks of the 50's. Low rise brief’s are the new low cut pants on the market, this style has become very popular with guys recently. The waistband rests on the hip around 3inch below the waist. It still has side fabric, and the legs are traditional brief legs. Don’t freak out when I use the word bikini for men, they aren’t suited to every guy. The men's bikini style is cut lower than a low rise brief. The top elastic sits around 4inch below the waistline, below the navel. It still provides full rear coverage. The leg has a high cut design and the front never has a working fly. There’s also the string bikini too, this style is the lowest cut and offers the least amount of coverage in men's underwear styles. The leg openings go all the way up to the elastic waistband, which is a string style band, connecting front and back panels. String bikinis give full seat coverage, but without a working fly.

Now, I’m appealing to out-going and outrageous kind of guy. Because I’m talking about the thong and jock strap, this style has an elastic waistband and a front cup. The front cup panel is kept in place by a tape that goes through the legs and attaches in the centre back on the waistband. This is a style used in athletics for more support and can serve an important protective function, or just when minimal coverage is desired. A jock strap consists of a wide elastic waistband with a support pouch that holds an impact resistant protective cup or box to protect you’re nether-regions from injury and two straps extending from the base of the pouch around the buttocks to the sides of the waistband.

Depending on your personality, whether you prefer men’s boxers or briefs, there’s something for every guy to get his hands on.
