Choosing Underwear for your Man

The perfect gift and the perfect package

Ladies, are you looking for the perfect gift for your boyfriend or husband? You could always purchase them sweaters, trousers, or of course the familiar socks, but are you looking for a present that they will use every day?

Forget sweaters, most men will wear them once and then the sweater will be locked away in a closet for the next decade. Trousers are good but what happens if you get the wrong size, wrong style, or wrong fabric.

One thing a lot of guys are beginning to take a lot of time and attention over is their underwear. Gone are the days when the average guy adorned baggy boxer shorts sporting pictures of Homer Simpson or the Union Jack.

At least that is the case for guys who have girlfriends, for the male of our species is still loathe to actually go shopping for underwear himself. Why you may ask? The answer is quite simple. Package guy

What is on the cover of most underwear packages? That's right, Package Guy. You never see his face, but you usually get a good idea that he is either exceptionally endowed or used a sock for the photo-shoot. Try going underwear shopping with your fella and notice how uncomfortable he gets should you dare to discuss Package Guy.

Let me point out that women don't suffer similar hang ups when browsing catalogues of women in lingerie. We can do this in a completely benign way without being offended or uncomfortable. My personal guess on why is simply; women are beautiful. Guys aren't. Sorry fellas but you exist for practical reasons. Thus your average bloke will dread buying new underwear because it means looking at Package Guy.

That brings back to the perfect gift for both of us, because I personally quite like looking at Package Guy rarity of the species that he is, and will happily browse the mens underwear stores for Bruce.

I did some searching around the web and came across UnderU. UnderU is the largest retailer of high-end designer men’s underwear and swimwear in the world. They have over 400 styles on offer at any one time from the worlds leading designer labels. These include Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabbana, 2(x)ist, Versace, Roberto Cavalli, HOM, Zimmerli, Hanro, Punto Blanco, Bruno Banani, C-in2. What's more they have Package Guy parading in all of these!

So what are your choices?

Briefs

Tighty whities are symbols of a boys youth, and sporting them as adults might indicate that they may not be ready to grow up. After all, it is believed that some men are not ready to forget their inner child, and settling down and getting serious are two things that usually aren't at the top of their to-do list.

Personal experience dictates that briefs are losing their place among the underwear elite. With the advent of boxer briefs and the like, their popularity is decreasing. They are less comfortable than their brethren, and are prone to wedgies (either the socially induced or self-inflicted kind).

However, briefs still offer the consumer some advantages. They offer much more support in the nether regions, which is beneficial in sporting events.

Boxers

This is probably the most conservative style of underwear on the market. The "boxer guy" is usually a proponent of tradition and enjoying his transformation into manhood, which doesn't necessarily mean he's drab. Boxers come in a variety of styles, colors and patterns that give each pair its own personality.

Boxer briefs

Boxer briefs have become the underwear of choice. They combine the best of both predecessors, offering the comfort and loose feel of boxers, while providing some support with their brief-like design.

Men who wear boxer briefs are usually athletic in nature (besides, if you have skinny legs, boxer briefs turn into boxers; nice quadriceps are required). Fans of boxer briefs enjoy working out and they usually pay extra attention to their appearance.

This short examination of the meaning of underwear will surely be helpful in determining what women think about when they see a man's underwear. However, if you're anything like Bruce, your choices aren't made to make me happy, but to feel comfortable and good about yourself -- ah, who am I kidding?
