Is it me or are briefs coming back?!

[cdog204]

I'll have to try some briefs on - have not worn any since I was 12 or 13. Most of the guys that I see at my gym wear either boxers or boxer briefs; it is a fancy gym so perhaps there is a demographic bias, but I can't recall seeing anyone wearing briefs recently.

I think because briefs come in different colors and even better styles the old man motif they normally were associated with is slowly going away. I have a few white ones but I much prefer the colored briefs just like about any man who just prefers colored underwear. I tend to wear whatever I feel like during the day/time; so I have briefs, trunks, boxer briefs and boxers so I'm ready for any occasion.

How do trunks feel? I've only worn briefs and boxer briefs ( got rid of boxers in high school) and been thinking about getting some.

Trunks are pretty good. Very close to briefs however there is one thing you have to worry about them. Dont buy them too tight because where their legging ends is irritating if it is too tight and they will ride up tremendously.

My favorite trunks!!!

Briefs are miserable constraining crap. Boxers are better but not that effective as you can slip out easily usually. Boxer briefs are gods gift to man. If you have a beautiful cock and body to match, its forgivable because of those facts... briefs don't enhance them though. This is something I hope not to see come back... it died for a reason.

I wear both but I usually find boxer briefs more comfortable. But its depending on my mood..sometimes I like the feeling of being held..other times I don't want anything hugging me. :biggrin1:

Don't believe they ever went away; with the exception of bootcamp in the marines I always wore and continue to wear briefs. I like the tight fit and especially when you get aroused... As for the gym I wear briefs except in the sauna or steam room and there I where nothing at all.

I think it comes down to what you grew up with and personal preference don't need a trend to decide my underwear choice.

Swim wear is another story as is workout shorts as anyone my age (50+) can attest too, it wasn't that long able we wore short shorts now they are to the knee.

Of course they "went away." Well, not completely, but there's no denying that boxers have taken over. more the pity. I'm your age (50) and NO ONE I went to school with EVER wore boxers. They were old man underwear. not true now.
And I agree about swim wear. Who the fuck decided it was cool to have swim shorts to your fuckin KNEES? The grazing against the back of your knees is reason enough to ban them!
grrrrr

Clearly you have limited experience with briefs. Some of the old style Hanes , it's true, aren' t much in the pouch department, but 2xist and brands like them have the best pouches out there. Love em.

I dont think they went anywhere. Briefs were still the top selling underwear its just that the younger crowd (including myself) bought into the marketing hype around boxers and boxer briefs. I wont deny boxer briefs are just downright near perfect but the constant riding up for guys with large thighs becomes annoying for those that care that much.

I do believe some of the more expensive assortment are better at not giving that constricting feeling.

I'm 22 and have started to wear briefs more often. I've noticed it with other younger guys also.
Are they coming back??

Boxerbriefs sometimes. (depending on what I am wearing)
other wise I mostly go commando 24/7


The only thing I hate about Boxerbriefs is that they stretch out into boxers.
Briefs no way because they shrink my flaccid size.

I just started wearing boxer briefs instead of boxers starting in August this year.

There is already a thread on this including a link to a NY Times article showing briefs are indeed on the way back (already the IT thing among fashionable young NY studs & hot LA/Hollywood actors, and like most trends slowly spreading to more & more other average dudes), you'll also find lots more comments & lots of pictures here too throughout this thread:
