Underwear

Now I know underwear might not be a subject that guys discuss very often but I thought I’d share my joy.

No matter which brand of underwear I try I just can’t seem to get comfortable. A seam in the wrong spot, ball strangulation and a host of other comfort issues have led me on a quest to find the perfect pair of underwear I’ve tried boxers, briefs, brief boxers, cotton, nylon etc.

After much searching I bought a few pairs of Duluth Trading underwear. I got a few “Free Range” and “Buck Naked” boxer briefs.

These are by far the most comfortable shorts I have ever worn. I sit all day at work and I am extremely comfortable. I feel as though I have no shorts on at all, how liberating! And the all important ball control is superb.

Just sharing.

I've had good luck with a K-Mart brand called Joe Boxer.

I'll try Duluth Trading next time I come into some spare change.

$20 bucks EACH!

I get a five pack of Hanes for under $20, good enough for Michael Jordan!

I have tried a couple of different boxer briefs. Hated them, it was like wearing a sweater, very hot and uncomfortable. Then they start bunching up on the thighs. I'm a briefs guy. I found some Polo briefs that I liked. They stopped making them so I bought about 10 pair. Yeah, $20 a pop, it hurt, but they are darn comfy.

Growing up we we always got our underwear from J C Penney, "Towncraft" I think their inhouse brand was. I just get whatever is on sale, light on the wallet and keeps "Big Jim and the twins" happy.

What can I say, I said I was large. I know $20 sounds like a lot but if you were in my shoes (pants) they would be well worth it. I like the material of the DT shorts. I guess I am just more sensitive than most!

I have a ton of Fruit of the Loom, BVD and other assorted underwear I would be willing to send to one of you guys

Circumstances dictated that I go commando today, but usually it's Haines boxer-briefs.

20 bucks a pair for shorts seems pretty steep, but I bet they're nice...
