Types of underpants: could you list more than 2 items of men's underwear?

Underpants are a garment with a very clear functionality: they allow maintaining a constant and regulated body temperature and prevent friction between clothing and the genital area, preventing irritations, rashes and other conditions. Also, they are more hygienic for pants. However, despite its importance, it remains a much-forgotten garment, and men rarely know of any style beyond boxers. That is why we have prepared this guide in which you will be able to recognize the different styles of underpants that exist.

Beyond the boxer: all the models of underpants

Yes, there is life beyond the typical boxer you know. If you want to enter the world of men's underwear, take note of other models.

types of boxers

Boxers have been gaining ground on briefs for a long time. They are characterized by covering part of the leg. Within this style, the following types can be distinguished:

• Classic boxer. Among all the models of underpants, this is the one that comes to mind: it reaches almost to the knee, and is usually very tight. It is made of lycra, so it has an elastic and tight fabric.
• Loose boxer (also known as baggy, wide…). They are usually made of cotton. They look like shorts because they are looser, without fitting as much in the genital area.
• Brief boxer . It is halfway between the boxer and the brief: they are tighter than the first, but they reach the middle of the thigh and are wider in the hip area. Actually, it is the way in which the Anglo-Saxons know the slip. It is a garment that gives a lot of support and is very comfortable when wearing shorts.
• Trunk boxer . What is a boxer trunk ? It is the most famous and the one that many people confuse with the classic boxer, although it differs from this in that it is shorter, since it does not go below mid-thigh. Many brands put their signature on the waist band so that it is visible.

Types of men's briefs

The briefs are the classic white turbo-shaped briefs . They usually have an elastic band or a rubber band integrated inside. Leave the inner thigh area free, since it only reaches the groin. Two main types of men's slips can be distinguished: the classics, which are those that have remained throughout time; and the minislips, which are somewhat more low-cut.

long gallumbos

The long gallumbos , also known as "Long John" for a story related to the England of the past, are ideal for the coldest or for lovers of outdoor sports. They are usually made with quality wool, so they are a great ally against cold and bad weather.

Csports briefs

In the same way that we use special clothes when we do sports (elastic pants, sports shirts, breathable shoes...), we also have to wear the right underwear. As far as underpants are concerned, you have to look for garments that provide greater protection and fit in the crotch, which will help to avoid impacts and friction. They are made with breathable materials, which keeps the area cool and reduces possible infections caused by bacteria or fungi.

What type of men's underwear suits me according to my body type?

If you want to know what type of underpants for men go best with your physiognomy, take note of what type of underwear suits you according to your body type:

The briefs or short underwear go well with short and thin people, since they are tighter and stylize their figure. The trunks cover the thigh area a little more, so they go well with most silhouettes, especially for inverted triangle and trapezoid bodies. The wide boxer is indicated for people with an oval silhouette or inverted triangle body. Older people wear it because the space between the legs is greater and it is more comfortable for them. Traditional boxers can be worn by people whose silhouette is more oval or in the shape of an inverted triangle.
