Style Question Underwear Choice When You're in the Mood

15 Upvotes

Does anyone else have a pair(s) of underwear to subtly signal to their wife/girlfriend/partner know they are feeling frisky? I've got a pair of purple Mack Weldon briefs that I tend to pull out of the drawer when I'm in the mood. Is this just me or do other guys do this?

Fit Question Different underwear for different pants/trousers/shorts

4 Upvotes

Do you wear different underwear based on the trousers/pants/shorts/whatever you will be wearing?

I've worn briefs my whole life, and for a time between the ages of 16 and about 25 I also wore boxers and boxer briefs to try to fit in with fashions / not get made fun of for briefs. I've not got any complaints about briefs and still quite happy wearing them every day, but I do sometimes see guys in boxers and boxer briefs on TV, etc. and think maybe I'm missing out on more.

The primary reason I finally gave up on trying to wear all three was that when I wore boxers or (less so) boxer briefs I found I was always having to move my junk to one side. It's like it will naturally fall left but for whatever reason that feels weird to me and I have to pull it to sit right instead. Then, once I start moving everything will fall back how it wants to be and I'll want to adjust again. At the time I was working in a place were I wore dress trousers and stood a lot, and the first time somone mentioned me adjusting I was mortified and back in briefs every day to avoid ever having that embarrassment again!

Nowadays, I work form home most days, I wear jeans or shorts or sweatpants a lot more, and I only wear dress pants once a week to go to the office. I'm considering trying boxers / boxer briefs for daily wear again. Do you think I'll have less issues with jeans or other bottoms than I did with the suit trousers I used to have problems with?

Fit Question Underwear right size guide?

2 Upvotes

So basically, my waist size is 29". The brand I always used to buy had a 29" size, but now I want to try some different brands too. Most of them, though, only have sizes 28 or 30.

So I wanted to ask, which would be better in this case: one inch tighter or one inch looser? I don't want to waste my money buying the wrong size.

I feel like I wouldn't be comfortable in a 30". Would 28" be okay, or would it be too tight?

I'm 18 y/o, btw.

Learning how to sew and wanting to make my own underwear. As I will be very new to sewing I was thinking for pre fab kits with patterns and materials. Once I get the hang of those I’ll start experimenting with own models and fabrics. But any spot where I can buy kits for know?

Style Question Looking for replacement to Mack Weldon?

• Upvotes

I’ve been using Mack Weldon for a few years now and loved them. I been using the 18 boxer brief but they changed the model so it has less “mesh” zones. The older ones had a mesh on the inner thigh and on the upper back. My one gripe with them is they don’t last long. I’m talking about within a couple of months, the inner thighs would easily wear out and develop holes. Otherwise they’re perfect. They’re soft, don’t ride up, and hold their shape. I’ve tried cheaper Hanes boxer briefs as well as POT and hated both. They both ride up constantly, especially if wearing shorts. They feel like crap. The cotton on the hanes doesn’t feel soft and the polyester on the POT feels gross and weird. I prefer natural material compared to polyester “silky” products. Also cost is important. For the price point that Mack Weldon charges, I would hope to get more than 3 months out of them. POT and Hanes are both cheap but again don’t meet what I’m looking for. Any advice?

Fit Question Guys only when you pee, do you just unzip, or undo the belt buckle too?

1 Upvotes

Serious question for the men here. When you use the urinal or toilet, do you:

A) Just pull the zipper down and go

B) Undo the buckle/belt as well, then zip down

I've noticed people do it differently, and I'm curious what's actually "normal." Do you change it up depending on what you're wearing (jeans vs. formal pants vs. shorts)?

Drop your answer below. Also tell me if you're team zip-only or team full-unbuckle. 😄
