Underwear: Choose Wisely
If you go into a women’s underwear department there is such a wide selection. There are many cuts to pick from, fabric blends, colors, patterns, and so forth. Not so much the case in the men’s department. So maybe you wonder why this is the case. For some reason a lot of women understand their underwear choice does make a difference. While a majority of guys do not.
Your underwear choice can make a difference in your day. So that is why I say choose wisely. You could have a sexy feeling day, a comfy/lounging day, an athletic day, need a pick up day, and so on. If you are wearing the exact same thing everyday then you are missing out! You’re probably only getting a hygiene day with maybe a comfort day.
Let’s start with a look at a day for athletics or working out for that matter. For guys the first thing that I would think that probably comes to mind is support. Then for anyone I would say breathable and moisture wicking would be good underwear features. How about freedom of movement? Finding a good pair of underwear that allows all of that isn’t likely going to be your typical daily wearers at least for the majority of people out there. Unless you are a thong or jockstrap wearer I’m sure your underwear is most likely not meeting a good athletic pair of undies. Yes other styles can fit the bill, but in my opinion not many that are typically worn daily by men and women.
Does your normal underwear make you feel sexy? Again for the majority out there I would say no. I think most just aim for comfort and norm even though sexy feeling underwear should be comfy underwear too. I know a lot of women have some underwear that makes them feel sexy, but save them for special occasions. Or maybe they do just wear them for their partner and they may or may not be comfortable at all. Men on the other hand do not have much of a clue about sexy underwear. Yes, supposedly women see the norm in men’s underwear sexy, but do they really make a guy feel sexy? And really do women find them that sexy? Maybe if it is a good fitting pair made of a nice fabric. Not what you typically find or see in stores. Sexy underwear doesn’t need to be saved for special occasions. You are allowed to wear underwear that makes you feel sexy anytime! Bikinis and thongs are always great options and selecting the right fabrics can make them feel even sexier.
You said a pick me up day with underwear, how can that be? Well, it partly goes along with a sexy day. If you feel sexy then aren’t you feeling good. Hence a pick me up day. A pair hugging your body in the right places can give you a secure feeling. Picking out a fun pair, a wild print, a particular underwear cut, certain fabric, etc really can make a difference. It’s about having fun with your undies and mixing things up. Most aren’t going to know what you have on under your clothes, so knowing you have something special a bit off the wall can change your mood for the day. If you do not have some variety in your underwear drawer then maybe you should consider some underwear shopping.
Let’s touch on the last one I mentioned for reasons to choose your underwear wisely. Everyone needs a comfy or lounging day. Why not break out some comfy underwear and even just lounge in them. If too chilly wrap up in a blanket or go ahead and throw on some comfy clothes over top of those undies. What makes comfy underwear? Could be the fabric, the fit, maybe looser fitting or maybe body hugging. A pair that makes you warm and fuzzy.
It’s all about experimenting with underwear and finding a variety that works for you. Don’t just stick with the exact same brand, style, fabric, etc. You should choose wisely and enjoy a real change with your underwear. I of course suggest trying out bikinis and thongs.
Ways to Support The Bottom Drawer by Shopping
I got rid of all my underwar except my bikini’s and thongs. I wear thongs 80% of the time the rest bikini’s. I don’t ever want to go back to boring mens boxers that aren’t even comfy. I hope more guys realize the same
Same here. My choice of underwear is also driven by occasion, white trousers in summer needs something different then chilly day outside. Sport is fully different topic and I can’t get it how someone can sport in boxers.
So true , I find that the right underwear can make the day. They can take your mind off stressful times, make you feel confident and add some fun to the day. Very rarely if I wear boxers briefs , I can’t wait to get them off and switch back to a bikini or thong
Perfect!
I couldn’t agree more with your article. In the morning when I’m standing in front of the open underwear drawer, what am I wearing today? How do I feel? What am I doing. Is it hot or cold today. There are so many reasons working on you to decide what underwear you are going to pick for the day. I have more thought about what’s under my clothes, because I wear chefs clothes on the outside and that never changes from day to day. Deciding what to wear under my clothes is a real thing. Usually a bikini style from Real Men Active Wear, with a looser fitting pouch are the work goto underwear or the occasional jock day.
After work I always change in to something I would never wear to work, so for me mostly a thong, it’s less restrictive, freeing and light.
Then it’s bed time, now what. Less is better, I used to sleep naked, not so much anymore. I’m down 70 lbs from a year ago, now 165, I feel great, look great and even feel sexy. A skimpy sexy string thong from Awry will do! My wife thinks I’m just crazy and obsessed and doesn’t find any underwear sexy like I do. Skull and Bones have a very sex and revealing line called “burnout”, I think the jocks and thongs in that line are very sexy.
The feeling is real, I get it. Thank you for the article. I am not alone.
Like you I take more time thinking about what underwear to wear. Normally just grab some outer clothng and hope I matched it well enough. No, you are not alone. There are many of us that get it. Glad you enjoyed the post.
I totally get this article. I’m 98% going to pick a thong. But which one, my go to brand is JM, I like the fit and feel of them and will often match the shirt I’m wearing to the thong of the day. However, I am trying to wear all the thongs I own – some are not all day comfort/support. I have some that I only wear during the colder months (think cotton) and others at night after a shower and just want to relax, like the Doreanse Aire thong or a g-string. I want to add g-strings to my mix, but I don’t find them as supportive as a thong. During the day I want support (and a sexy feeling). I like the Bike or iKingsky thong for when I go to the gym. I’ve also added a couple of MeUndies for daily wear. Then there are others that are nice but maybe not all day wear, especially if I know I might be active – like N2N or Body Aware. I do wish thongs, even skimpy bikinis, were available in big box stores so maybe more men would try them. Try it, you might like it and ditch the boring old boxer shorts.
In recent months I’ve been favouring string bikinis over my regular g-strings, but I’m sure I’ll get back into wearing them when I’m out and about more in lighter trousers in sunnier weather.
The bikinis are semi transparent with very narrow sides and pouches and half backs and are very soft to the touch, so I still feel quite daring and sexy when I’m wearing them.
I’ve generally been lucky with my underwear purchases over the years and haven’t made too many expensive mistakes, but I’m sure we’ve all got some horror items in our drawers.
