Its that season again. It’s about that time to rummage thru that drawer of yours and dump those underwear. From little holes to the torn waist band straps, you should no longer subject yourself to that “undergarment torment.” It’s a Groom Guy principle that we work on ourselves from the inside out… so yes that does include the inside of your attire. Gone are those days of those same tired [often plaid color] boxers you’ve been sporting since high school & college years. After coping with this unforgiving heat and the daily sweat that builds up underneath, its time to put those undergarments into overdrive. Don’t count the holes in your collection to finally dump them. Elevate your game and experience the transformational power of premium underwear.
This year, I’ve taken a very detailed approach to buying the most comfortable underwear on the planet. Don’t believe the hype (sorry, not sorry, Calvin Klein) and get ready to load up on 100% comfort. Below is some of the most important gems when purchasing your first premium set of underwear that’ll have you never wanting to take them off (literally).
Waist band control
This is the “crown” of under garment wear. There is absolutely no excuse you should wear loose ones that don’t hug onto the waist. It’s not a waist trainer so make sure it doesn’t suffocate your waist. At the gym, the waistband comfortably collects any sweat build up from racing down to the leg. You’ll want to ensure your waistband is wide and has a soft logo placement (doesn’t leave any marks). The stretch factor is important too especially…after those steak dinners.
Hit the “sack”
Your day can easily determined by this simple observation: Nicely & neatly tucked jewels. Believe it or not, but this is the bread and butter of underwear comfort. Nobody wants to blue balls (or red, purple or any other color for that matter). This should be a painless process fitting and shouldn’t require much maneuvering. Your jewels can sit comfortably with underwear that includes a contoured pinch for that ideal fit.
Cut the [cotton] Crap
Too many times I’ve purchase underwear only have to deal with the ongoing stress: rising up. This is one of the most annoying imperfections of the major brands (yes, Calvin Klein). They’ll counter by noting its “100% pure cotton” failing to tell you that the fabric is thin cotton and barely layers onto your waist with ease. You’ll feel like a sumo wrestler wearing a Fundoshi at the end of the day and wedgies as deep as the Grand Canyon.
Certain colors are recommended to be avoided (cough, white). They don’t rinse well no matter how many times and leave gross permanent stains that make it highly questionable to wear again. My recent safest and sexy recommendations include: navy, grey, maroon, olive green. Trust me, your significant other won’t be disappointed.
An active lifestyle calls for a superior fabric that’s conducive to daily movement: performance boxer briefs. These are the major key to comfort. Many of these underwear types are packed with a premium standard of flat lock stitching, a flexible stretch, flying opening for versatility and incredibly lightweight. Did I mention they’re extremely affordable! Don’t fall for the major brand marketing smoke and jump onboard to keep those jewels of yours in a case that always keeps it fresh, clean and even shining.
