Hello Internet,

I have trouble with any underwear I ever owned. I am wearing XXL or size 8 underwear but they tend to make me uncomfortable in different matters.

Waering loose Boxershorts is okay to my wiener but my balls are to free. Also they tend to crawl upwards during the day.

Tighter Shorts have a good appearance and are my main underwear. But I struggle with them as well: My thing turtles uncomfortably making me insane so I can pull it into position. Also, they tend to screw at the bottom after half an year.

Asking this within my circles only earns sarcastic comments or the experience isn’t shared. So I ask you: How do I determine the correct underwear for me and am I missing something? If you relate and have solved this issue, please recommend me some underwear.

// Edit:

Thank you for all the recommendations and input. I wasn’t aware of the pouch feature. Researched all suggested brands and:

Ordered from overseas:

  • SAXX
  • BN3TH

Currently not deliverable:

  • Step One

Lululemon does have a store in the city, so I will go there next week to try those on.

    Am I the only person that actually wants an openable fly in their boxer-briefs? All these companies these days willing to make 2 distinct pockets for balls and shaft but won’t let me poke out for fresh air or a bathroom trip without having to deal with the waistband drive me nuts. My cock didn’t commit any crimes, I don’t want to force it into solitary confinement…

    The worst part is I found my perfect underwear several years back and the company has basically disappeared. They had a sort of soft and loose-ish horizontal fly that basically revolutionized my relationship with my crotch and I can’t find more :(

    SAXX

    They are pricey but totally worth it. They last a long time, are very comfortable and have a pouch for your stuff. You can usually find deals on their website for things like discontinued holiday prints. I don’t really care what mine look like so I wear a lot of Christmas themed boxer briefs. I’d recommend the Vibe.

    I had similar issues before but then I decided to try Other Danish Guy boxers. They are expensive but I realized that they are best clothing item that I own. I have recommend them to some of my friends and few of them also fell in love with them. They are much strechier than other boxers that I have tried and really comfortable to wear.

    Boxer briefs are the best of both worlds. Not too tight like a regular brief underwear, not too loose like boxer shorts, and still has adequate ball support.

      After researching, I wear trunk-size retroshorts. You tip enabled me to query the internet. Thanks!

    Sizes are very different depending on where you live, so I’m not sure what size you actually are. I have underwear from Asia that’s XXL, and underwear from North America that’s medium.

    Have you tried pocketed underwear?
    It’ll stop your balls from flopping around without squishing your dick because the fabric is too tight. If you follow the “Keep it slick (hairless) if you want it licked” way of thinking for your balls, it’ll also prevent “batwing” by keeping them from touching your thighs.

    All of the underwear I wear now are pocketed, some of them are codpiece-styled, which can be fun

      These are indeed some of my problems. I measured myself and checked each brand size recommendations. Delivery is slow, shops within the eu are rare.

      But you sold me on these pockets

    I did a thing a couple years ago where I dropped about $500 buying every style of boxer brief that looked appealing or had a strong fanbase. I tried saxx, Duluth, all citizens, meundies, bn3th, Mac Weldon, Lululemon, Tommy John, separatec, and probably a few others.

    All Citizens are my winner overall - the BN3TH are also really nice - I actually like their cuts and design better, but the materials don’t hold up nearly as well as the All Citizens. All Citizens are also much better value, IMO.

    For the All Citizens, I’m specifically talking about their Paradise Pocket boxer briefs. My legs are proportionally beefy in comparison to my waist, so it’s also nice that All Citizens offer an “Athletic Fit” option that keeps the legs from being overly tight. Just snug enough not to ride up without pinching or leaving a visible line visible through pants.

    Having went through this recently and tried ~5 brands, I recommend Duluth. I like the dang soft, but I’m still exploring their line up.

    My friend, it’s like searching for true love. You’re going to have to go out there and spend the money and try on different styles until you find the right one.

    I think I used to be in the same situation, used to always go for boxer-shorts since i liked having the swinging freedom, but my balls would get uncomfortable.

    In comes Dual-Pouch underwear, best of both worlds for me. They look like normal underwear except they have a hole to put the penis in so it drops to the second pouch.

    You get a good ball support and you don’t have to squish your dick for it or the other case where everything is free, but so are the balls. This fixes that for me

    I got the brand ‘Separatec’ style: everyday

    Got myself some StepOne boxers, best undies I’ve ever owned no questions asked. Miles better than anything else I’ve worn, I’m incapable of going back to lesser pants now. They are made with bamboo fiber, have a low friction glide panel between your legs and have a pouch for the junk to sit in. They aren’t cheap but worth every penny in my opinion.

      +1 for step one - they were a Reddit discovery for me, but a game changer, replaced nearly everything with them.

    They’re not cheap by any means but stance boxer briefs have not done me wrong. Even the tighter bits are pretty stretchy to accommodate. Loose enough but supportive.

    They’re not cheap, but I have been rocking lululemon boxer briefs since roughly when the pandemic started. They’re cut so that you’ll have a nice pocket for the old wedding tackle, and the fit is quite flattering (or so I have been told).

    You can occasionally snipe discounts on their website, or find deals at outlet locations.

    I can recommend Duluth boxers and briefs, they have a few that tend to hold you in place. They’re not cheap, but they generally last a pretty long time and are comfortable. Hanes are good as well, just found they were slightly less comfortable.
