Do any guys under 25/30 still wear typical tighty whities on a REGULAR basis?

[giantguy23]

nope

Recently got me some y front briefs. Does any other guys who wear these have issues with your wang coming out the front?

By Y front, do you mean Jocky? That used to happen to me, my balls would be cradled but my head/shaft hanging out Y front. I'd rather be commando than deal with that.

Recently in a shop specialising in old stuff from the 60's and we picked up an unopened box of Skants
Possible the first budgie smugglers, man made fabric but great colours.
opening gear for retro parties! And do they show of the tackle well> You bet!.

Yes. OK, I’m glad I’m not the only one.

Nope

I'm 25 and I just started wearing briefs part-time again. Nothing crazy, just the basic FTLs. Not in tighty whities, though. Mostly just the simple fashion colors.

I wore briefs until I was 14 and started changing in a locker room regularly. I made the switch then, first to boxers (ew), then to boxer briefs (better) and started mixing in trunks (not bad at all) a few years ago.

Just curious if any guys under 25/30 still wear typical tighty whities on a REGULAR basis?

When I say typical, I mean brands like hanes, fruit of the loom, etc.
NOT the high fashion brands like calvin klien, 2xist, etc.

If you do still wear these, why do you wear them? cost? you like them? never tried anything else?

Do you guys think that wearing typical brand tighty whities says anything about a guy? ( I ask this because once I saw a website that had like different descriptions of guys and what the type of underwear they wore was suppose to say about them, though I can't find it and haven't seen it in years.)

If you wear them, and buy them for yourself, Do you ever feel embarrassed buying them?

If anyone has any pics of guys in HANES / Fruit of the Loom / Etc. (NOT the high fashion brands) tighty whities briefs that would be great, please post them!!! (Hanes pics definitely prefered however)

On a REGULAR basis, i don't, nor does any of my closest teammates or friends. However i think almost all of us have a pair or 2. I do. Fruit of the Loom. Also have a few pair of both white and grey jockey pouch briefs but these may not be what you are looking for.

I don't know why i choose to wear them when i do. Its not really cost because i have access to about any price range of underwear i want and have a lot of them in the $10-$20 range. Briefs of many styles became more prevalent among wrestlers after they stopped letting us weigh in naked or in just our jockstraps.

I don't really have a "thought" about a guy of any age just because he is wearing white briefs.

I get a rush out of buying anything like that. i have bought my own jockstraps and some underwear since i was like 13. Have gone shopping for the same items with my closest buddies.

I recently saw a high school guy come in to a wrestling tournament in tight blue jeans and farm boots, he was quiet the stud just by his natural looks and build and the way he carried himself. Then he stripped down to white Fruit of the Looms and white boot socks to stand in line to weigh and for skin checks. The confidence with which he stood there dressed like that combined with those white FTL's elevated him to super stud status in many guys eyes that day I am sure of.

Practically briefs are nice under my more snug fitting pants, eliminates those leg lines of boxer briefs, i guess much like women want to eliminate panty lines, lol. But oh man when they get stretch out a bit and you stuff has room to move around as you move even the least little bit, and if i have say changed into pants that are looser as well, or I'm sitting around in nothing but my briefs.............its all i can do to keep from throwing a major boner in them, they just have this feel that sets me off. Not like the norm i am used to.

I have read many times that guys in the western part of the US, esp those who actually live in farm/cowboy country, only wear classic FTL or Jockey white briefs. It infer anything more fancy is considered "Fag*gy," tho I can't say for sure.
I also have never understood this bit about "eliminating leg lines." Do guys really worry about stuff like that? What guy is wearing clothes that are so form-fitting and lycraesque that he cares about underwear lines?

 

[Uta3392]

Yes sir.

 

[JohnDoeXXXm]

I used to think that tighty whites, i.e. cheap y fronts of the ftl, hanes variety showed that a guy didn't care about his appearance enough to dress in nicer clothes, and/or that the choice conveyed some similar uncouth character that I didn't want to associate with. Big turnoff.

As my experiences increased, leading to appreciation for different types of people- I realized that different body types are best paired with different styles- and that variety can be the spice of life. Part of the fun is guessing what is under the dress pants/jeans/gym shorts, and seeing if I'm right. Watching the reveals in the locker room, or seeing telltale strap, waistband or creases at work or on the street. The choices guys will make when they are dressed to impress, to enhance, or when an unexpected underwear reveal wasn't anticipated... Its all good. Literally a "passing fancy."

I have some in my drawer, and they're worked into the mix. Vintage Hanes with the repeating letters in all grey. Very masculine on an athletic body frame.

Growing up near and on my grandfathers farm, i would say there is something to that, even though we are not in the West.

My dad told me about guys from the high school who would come help grandpa put up hay, back when dad was just old enough to drive the tractor but not strong enough to really throw the hay. He said when they would come straight from morning football workouts they had just put on jeans (to protect their legs) over their football jockstraps. In the hottest times they would strip back to just their jockstraps to take a dip in the pond while he drove the tractor in to switch wagons. It is one of many things that solidified his commitment to always wear a jockstrap when appropriate. He eventually got a chance to take one of those jockstrap only swims with them in another year or two. I think this story is what led my older brother (foster brother) to lead some of his football buddies to swimming in the pool in just their jockstraps.......even once at a motel they were staying in at a summer football camp out of state.

Even just 6 to 8 years ago the local "farm" boys who helped grandpa on the farm would show up shirtless in jeans and the obvious waist of cheap white briefs showing.

A lot of us wear dress pants made by underarmour that are thin and definitely show the end of leg seam on any underwear you wear, if the underwear has legs at all you can see that seam all the way around. I cant' say i worry about it, but it is something i am aware of. So if i have options and know i am going to be in front of people in those pants, why not eliminate it. No different than double checking for a stray facial hair before making a presentation or even going on a first Date...........impressions, right?

I also own a couple of pairs of Andrew Christian, which have some of the best pouches in the marketplace. I wear them selectively, however, because I feel like the brand is a shout-out to a lifestyle that doesnt represent me to others who may superficially judge based on appearance.

Ironically, I think that 2xist also makes a fantastic product, however when they first started they used a marketing style that established their brand .as a terrific alternative to Calvin Klein, but i think the homoerotic feel of their niche was maybe too much for a 'safe' guy to want to complicate his locker room time with by adding these to his underwear drawer. Then they changed the font on the waistband, and suddenly it seemed like 2xist was just another brand to be seen when a shirt flipped up unexpectedly, especially now that they masquerade under the EVOLVE name at every TARGET store. How ubiquitous can you get?

A couple years ago Nike became the exclusive outfitter to the NFL, giving guys opportunity to change their under armour band from "protect this house" to "pro combat." Belly trails never looked so athletic, especially as American men joined the fightt against obesity and brought athleisure wear on the streets.

From my observations i think the newest trend is performance underwear- with Mack Weldon engineering superior performance and comfort as the driving reason to choose their base layer, and not a splashy advertisement on the waistband that shows when we hulk out on a sweaty Saturday afternoon. Beyond that- ultra thin boxers, or outright freeballing without any underbranding, period.

What's next? If clothing trends are any indication it would seem like ultra trim trunks will be hauling us all back to the 70s. I wonder what will happen in pop culture to be the spark.

I prefer to freeball, hardly ever wear underwear these days but if I do, I have a few pairs of Andrew Christian Trophy Boy boxers which keep me from swinging around and are very comfy

You got the wrong kind. Most traditional tights whites have a double panel that crosses itself, like a good Catholic, and prevents your dick from popping out. Whadja buy, K-Mart brand or sumpin?

If you wear Trophy Boy, what does the little man on your sports trophies wear?

 

[JohnDoeXXXm]

Awww thanks. Just trying to create a lot of word pictures on my posts, after all this site is all about images, right?

Jockey brand, actually.
