A pretty basic question, but one I always want to know the answer to! What does everyone prefer and why?

I am a briefs guy. I love Fruit of the Loom briefs (whites, colours, doesn't really matter). I do have a fairly good sized package, and I find that FTL gives the best support out there. I just feel like I look good in them and that is a confidence boost.

So what about everyone else?

Definitely briefs, but the roomy/stretchy hung-friendly ones, like Obviously for Men or John Sievers.

Boxers are only good for lounging around the house -- I might as well be commando, with that total lack of support/restraint.

Boxer briefs can be OK, but they tend to either squash/flatten the package (if no pouch up front) or hoist awkwardly (if they do have a pouch). Also, for those of us with a more muscular build, boxer briefs tend to be too tight in the thighs.

yeah, a few friends of mine have suggested trying Diesel briefs or other "hung friendly" briefs. I am tempted, but haven't quite made the leap yet.

I never met a brief that I didn't hang out of! Boxers. for me. at least give my junk somewhere to go! I am very sympathetic with a guy who chooses to go commando; sometimes the underwear really gets in the way of comfort....actually, usually it gets in the way of comfort!

yeah, there are a few brands of briefs I've tried that I hang out of too, and I agree that it is not comfortable at all! From your pics, it looks like you are pretty long when flaccid, so maybe that's part of the reason. I am only about 4 inches when soft, so I can fit into some brand of briefs more comfortably. Personal preferences though: I like my junk to be secured LOL

My junk lives in the attic ... :biggrin1:

I am commando usually. Hate being confined in briefs and other tight styles. Sometimes wear a pair of boxers if it's very cold, or if I'm wearing thin or light-coloured trousers - helps avoid what a mate calls 'the spot of shame'. :wink:

Growing up I had certain underwear for certain things. My Dad always said when we needed to pack light, a man only needs 2 things boxer shorts and jockstraps.
Boxer for when u will be sitting on ur ass and jockstraps for when ur not.
Now he didn't have the middle of the road boxerbriefs and still doesn't prefer them, while I live by them.
But I went on many fishing, camping, sports (as a participant), and short overnight trips living by his rule of thumb.
So if the choice is BOXERS or BRIEFS? I say briefs are the most versatile unless u are a total couch potato.
Most comfortable I've ever owned are Tommy Hilfiger, when u could actually find ones that are not low rise.

My brothers and I grew up wearing briefs just like dad and I'm doing the same with my sons who also wear briefs. Occasional boxers and jock as needed but 99%of the time its white briefs. We all wear the standard Jockeys y-fronts and CK with the exception of me, which I wear the lower waist y-fronts for a cleaner look. My sons also wear the standard Hanes and Fruit of the Loom. I have a mixed back of TH, Ralph Lauren, CK, and Hanes as well. No reason to change. If wife is not home, its underwear around the house usually which is very comfortable.

Generally briefs. (Sometimes boxer briefs) I like Jockey classic briefs and 2Xist brand as well. Nothing fancy, just the basic briefs. I grew up on briefs (but bad ones, like J.C. Penney), rebelled and wore boxers for a couple years, and then came back. I don't like the hanging feeling I get from boxers. I'm about 4.5-5" floppy, and briefs fit fine.

If I had to choose between the two it would be briefs. I grew up wearing briefs. Tried boxers because that's what everyone else was wearing didn't like them and switched back to briefs and then found boxer briefs. Which are my preference now. I still throw on briefs every once in a while and wear jocks to the gym.

none of the above. nothing 99% of the time. When necessary I do wear thermal long handle underwear or simple jockey briefs, but I try to get out of them as soon as possible.
