Title: What's your favorite brand of underwear?
Post by: bradlee2100 on December 29, 2011, 07:29:19 PM
I've tried multiple brands and styles, I just can't find ones that actually fit.
I have had better luck with Hans, but the ones I have look like they are made for girls even though they are for boys, and it really bothers me.
The ones I just bought are too big in regards to the empty space in the front, they just sit really awkwardly.
Have any of you have had luck with certain brands and/or styles?

I really like Andrew Christian, Jockey, Calvin Klein, 2xist, and Hanes.
:]
I'm not sure I have a favorite.
Andrew Christian underwear are the most quality of that bunch though; they're also nice for transguys.
I end up modding a lot of my underwear anyway though. >_<

Have you ever thought about packing? That could help feel the empty space in the front.

I want more adult underoos. Most briefs don't fit me right. I've gotten ones that were fancy and the cut was for guys with little butts.

If adult underoos exist, I'm getting on that. Right now I wear mostly old navy or gap boxer briefs.

I like American Eagle's trunks, they're not bad considering they are pretty cheap if you order them online on sale. I've tried a few other brands with mixed results.

I've had a lot of luck with the basic Fruit of the Loom. They've lasted me about three years and we're still going strong, they hold the packer well also. But it did suck when, during our first sexy time, my partner pulled down the front of my pants, saw the label, and burst out laughing at the brand name. :( She had never heard of it before, haha.

http://ginchgonch.com (http://ginchgonch.com) - my personal favs. They are pricy but I can attest to the fact they will last a long time and are comfy and wear really well. Get the boxer briefs if you're worried about cuts for little butts ;) I even have some of their long johns which are great to sleep in when it's cold.

My other fav is American Apparel - http://store.americanapparel.net/4443org.html?cid=176&c=Ultraviolet%20/%20White (http://store.americanapparel.net/4443org.html?cid=176&c=Ultraviolet%20/%20White) - also a little pricy but comfy. They just don't wear as well as Ginch Gonch.

I've been told here that American Eagle boxer briefs are good. I found some at the mall the other day marked down from 13 to 7 dollars. I didn't buy any, though. :P

I'm still just getting dollar underwear from the thrift store, and still finding it hard to care whether or not I wear underwear. If you aren't trying to hold in a packer or something, is there a point?

I wear long johns in the winter. Very cozy and comfortable.

I wear Fruit of the Loom boxer briefs too. They work well enough, but maybe one of these days I will try out another brand. The only thing I don't like about them is that sometimes they ride up a bit.

american eagle athletic trunks. i've got girly thighs and any other boxer briefs tend to ride up on me and i'd constantly be 'readjusting' myself lol

I wear whatever boxer-briefs are on sale and don't have the exposed elastic band :'P. I just buy them a size smaller to hold a packer or something. They also work decently at holding a strap-on o.o.

For panties, I like Bali. For bra's, believe it or not, the old tried and true Playtex brand has worked best for me. For clothing, I like Jockey for women, Lands End and St Johns.

I'd been loving my Fruit of the Loom low-rise boxer briefs pre-T, but now my thigh muscles are freakin' huge and they're making the fabric bunch up and chafe. Might have to switch to regular boxers if this keeps up.

I really like Fruit of the Loom Boxer-Briefs as well.  When I'm using my STP Packer though I go with their briefs because I feel like it holds it in place better.

I like the American Eagle trunks and Aeropostale boxer briefs. Never really liked wearing boxers, they are too bunchy under jeans and need readjusted constantly. And briefs make me feel like either a girl or an 8 year old.  ;D

I'll have to make a mental note of that...I have the boxer briefs, which are my favourite, and then some briefs as well. I forgot to mention that I also have some novelty boxers that I bought in England. Can't remember the brand but they say "Hands off the Nuts!" and have some nuts and bolts on them. ;D Like Konnor said though they bunch up quite a bit so I wear them to bed.

Hanes boxer-briefs! They're the most comfortable for me. I bought a pair of 2(x)ist briefs once, but the ~package was too big and I didn't like the way it bunched (I don't pack).

I'm planning on buying some more colorful underwear, I just haven't settled on a brand yet. All my hanes are grey, black, and dark blue. I need some reds. :D

Eh...well, I guess it depends on the person but I like to have space in the front, so my post may be useless to you. I hate underwear that clings too much to my crotch, it just triggers dysphoria like crazy for me. I'm not sure what you mean by ones that actually fit, though. I don't think I've ever had that issue other than the crotch issue...?

I 100% second the person who said Fruit of the Loom. I mainly wear boxer briefs with the exception of occasional boxers (in that case I wear Joe Boxer), so I really don't know much about briefs. I'm not really about to spend a lot of money on brands like Calvin Klein and all that, so for me I've stuck mainly to Fruit of the Loom.

I vastly prefer Fruit of the Loom over Hanes mainly for crotch roominess, regular waistband instead of Hanes' soft waistband, and leg length. I go for the mid-thigh boxer briefs (don't like trunks, too short for my tastes) with reinforced leg elastics. I'm kind of picky that way, but Fruit of the Loom does it for me.

When I first switched to boxer briefs I tried Hanes, but Hanes can be too clingy in the crotch for me especially over time as they shrink a bit in the wash, and I also don't like the soft/cloth waistband that Hanes mostly has. In that case, if you don't want a lot of space in the front then Hanes is probably a good way to go for you (the Hanes Classics seem to be the least roomy in the crotch, but tend to be trunk style).
