Men’s Underwear Women Like

January 15, 2010 By Joe | Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Here's why.

Jockey Retro Low Rise Brief – $9.99 for 3-Pack

Many of us grew up in tighty whiteys.  We scoffed at boxer briefs because the legs would ride up.  And rightfully shunned boxer shorts due to their utter and total lack of control:

Seriously.  That’s what it feels like.  I have no idea how anyone can wear boxers.

Back to the underwear… Now you’re all grown up and dating someone… or even married… and they (gasp!) see you in your underwear.  A lot.  So the tighty whiteys, at first a quirky quality that your betrothed found endearing, are now kinda a turn off.  Because there are holes in them.  Lots of them.  And you never go out and buy new ones.

Now’s a good time for an upgrade.  Jockey makes these tremendous low rise “retro” briefs that offer all of the support of a traditional brief, in some pretty stylish colors.  The seams are offset and the main colors are good and bright.  Once you try the low rise brief you’ll never go back to the traditional rise.  Because you’ll then realize you’ve basically been wearing something that must fit about the same as a diaper for all these years.

And maybe once for a change, she’ll actually take notice of the underwear YOU’RE wearing.  In a good way.

Not ready for the bright colors?  Ease into it with some plain gray, dark gray, and black.
Want some stripes?  Here you go.

    I don’t understand why some guys seem to wear their boxers big and baggy, like they’re your outer shorts. It reminds me of the teens I see skating on the sidewalks. So I prefer to see a man in boxer briefs, especially if he’s toned.

    Even though they’re in neat colors, the briefs above just make me think of my son’s first big-boy underpants…he liked the bright colors, too.
