Both have points for and against them. If you’re still undecided, here are some factors you might want to look into.
1. Health. For more active men or those who run around chasing other men in padded outfits (football, get it?), briefs would be better since they provide more support. However, for men who are not too hot on personal hygiene, tighter undergarments can cause skin irritation or infection, particularly during hot weather. If you prefer briefs, make sure you wear a fresh pair regularly.
2. Comfort. Definitely boxers for this one. They’re more loose and airy. These are actually preferable when going to sleep, unless you sleep naked anyway. If you are into boxers, do choose cotton ones and those with soft gartered waistlines.
3. Women radar. Survey says – boxers! More women find boxers sexy, although the difference between the pro-briefs and the pro-boxers is very narrow. Either way, sexy men will look sexy in both. That’s according to most women surveyed.
4. Fashion. It has actually become a fashion statement for men to wear low riding jeans and exhibit their boxers. On the other hand, some women think that men who wear briefs are more serious and mature. Beats me how they came up with that, but there you go.
For men, it’s a matter of personal choice. Whichever makes them feel more comfortable or whichever they think makes them look sexy. Of course, they need to decide first whether being comfortable or being sexy is their priority.
