What brands do you suggest? I've been looking all over online and can't find anything decently cheap.. everything 20-40 dollars for a SINGLE pair of fucking underwear!
You identify your location as the USA.
Go to your local WalMart and buy some of their Starter boxer briefs. $8 for a 3 pack, and they contain a spandex component. Pretty decent for me, so far...and a massive improvement over "tighty whitey" briefs, especially considering my larger balls. Starter is my favorite "every day" underpants, and they actually hold me in!!! There are a couple of styles, and the "trunk boxerbriefs" ride up on me, but the regular boxerbriefs do not.
Alternately, go to a CalvinKlein outlet store, Burkes Outlet, or Marshalls/TJMaxx and look in the underwear section. They sell name brands for comparatively cheap prices.
Or, if you just want to try different styles, search for "pouch underwear" on eBay. I've found no-name jock straps and even CockSox on eBay, brand new and sealed in package, for no more than a couple of dollars, including shipping.
