Despite the comfort provided by the product, this model is not suitable for overweight men.
Free boxers
A classic version of family panties, which is in the wardrobe of any representative of the stronger sex. Boxers got their name due to the fact that their appearance is similar to the shorts that athletes wear in the ring. The popularity of this style is explained by the following:
- The product is very comfortable and light;
- For convenience, there is a codpiece in the front part;
- Briefs are made only from natural materials: cotton or silk;

Family panties
The most common version of men's underwear. This style is especially common in Russia and the CIS countries. They have a simple, loose cover and only two seams located at the front and back. Unlike boxers, family briefs do not have a codpiece. Despite the fact that “family men” can be called morally outdated, such cowards still have many fans. This product is worn mainly with clothes that have a wide cut. They are inconvenient to wear with skinny jeans and shorts, since the material of the “family jeans” will gather in folds. They are also not suitable for sports. Most optimal for wearing at home or sleeping.
Slips
In appearance, the product resembles briefs. But it has several distinctive characteristics:
- A fairly large cutout on the hips, which exposes them and the lower part of the buttocks;
- The model fits tightly to the body without putting pressure on it;
- May have a regular or low waist. This makes it easy to choose the desired style for regular trousers or low-waisted jeans;
- It is convenient to play sports in slips;
Thong
It is a modern model of men's underwear, so thongs cannot be called a classic option.The elastic band of the product is wide enough and does not put pressure on the body. The front is shaped like a triangle. The back is a narrow strip of tissue that runs between the buttocks. Such products are not suitable for anyone, as they can cause discomfort when worn. Because of this, you need to choose thongs only from natural materials that do not cause irritation.
Thongs are contraindicated when playing sports!
C-thong
A very extravagant lingerie model. They are not suitable for everyday wear, as they are narrow, uncomfortable and have an extremely unusual appearance. This is a small piece of fabric stretched over a wire frame. The product does not have side elastic bands. Unusual fabrics, velor or mesh, in a variety of colors from classic black to leopard print or neon, are often used for production. This type of panty is usually used by professional strippers or gigolos.
Tanga
Externally, this option is similar to slips or swimming trunks. However, their fixation is carried out using a wide elastic band, since the side parts are completely absent. The front and back are made of triangular pieces of fabric. Since the side of the thigh is completely open, the product is suitable for everyday wear, but is contraindicated for sports.
Jocky
Jocks are a very unusual type of underwear that was designed for people who are professional athletes and weightlifters. The front part of the product is a pouch that provides reliable and correct fixation of the genitals. The back is made of several stripes. Jocks are very common among athletes who engage in cycling or martial arts.They provide the necessary comfort, do not restrict movement, and do not cause irritation even during intense physical activity.
