Rate your pants

Only Ted Baker for me, I find something that's comfy for my junk and looks good, I stick with it... CK aren't very comfortable, they get all misshapen and cause all sorts of distress for the family jewels.

Isn't there studies to suggest that tight fitting pants for blokes inhibit sperm production. The balls are designed to hang outside the body as sperm production is better when they're at a cooler temperature - this is clearly a ridiculous design flaw in the male body, but there's not much that can be done about it.
Therefore, if you're a young man who hopes to procreate one day, the looser boxer shorts may be the way to go. And if you're a young women who hopes to procreate, something flattering and lacy will no doubt help.

And on an unrealted note. If you're a bloke and you buy nice lingerie for your OH. Does it count as a present for her, you or you both?

Penny's or Dunnes finest quality for me.

Alf Veedersane · 18-12-2013 10:11AM

+1 on Penneys.

Not cheap, but they are the most comfortable I've found in 31 years.

junk is never in the wrong spot, jocks never wander north or south, Cool on a hot day, warm on a cold day.

Wonderjocks.

I thought they were going to be shocking expensive! They're around €20 for a pair -

But from Jockeys page -

Made for the sporting man who means business, Jockey® Performance is designed to give you the freedom to move and the support to perform.

Lightweight and quick drying, you’ll love this range for its:
Minimal seaming to reduce irritation

Coolmax® to draw sweat away keeping you cool and dry

Soft backed waistband

Breathable mesh panels (in the Active Cool range)

Unique gusset design for extra support and side seam free (in the Active Max) range

Aside from the breathable mesh panels and the Coolmax, I'm wearing Penneys jocks that do the very same job (plus they don't hike the junk up half as high as that pic!)

When exactly did it start to be normal here to use US terms for these things? In my mind pants and underpants are the same thing. The things you wear over the top of them are called trousers. And don't even get me started with 'slacks' :rolleyes:

Penney's Hispters all the way. Cannot stand loose-fitting jocks - there's nothing worse than a readjustment when things go a little lopsided down there.

blackwhite · 18-12-2013 11:32AM

Picked up some American Eagle sports trunks the last time I was in NY.
Most comfortable underwear I've had.

Nice soft material, relatively stretchy and keeps everything in place.

Never was a fan of loose jocks, nothing worse than having bruises on your knee after going for a run :pac:

kryogen · 18-12-2013 11:41AM

I wear boxers, but they cant be too loose, or too tight of course, my poor junk needs room to breath. Just like with condoms it has taken me a long time to find the right fit

Cause my cock is huge obv

RikkFlair · 18-12-2013 11:49AM

I believe there are fart-absorbing underpants on the market now. You can fire off a "21 gun salute" and nobody would clock it....apparently.

Not sure if they would still work after a strong curry.

BBDBB · 18-12-2013 11:51AM

a pair of cotton briefs with an elasticated waistband, nice a snug.............cos you need support when lifting heavy objects

:pac:

I've one pair with the elastic gone in the waist. It's like a lucky dip when I'm fishing for a pair of jocks. If i get them, they keep falling down inside my trousers.

I refuse to throw them out. I like to live life on the edge. :cool:

Sometimes you form an emotional attachment to a trusted pair of delicates.

I don't normally wear Y-fronts, but had to purchase a pair in a hurry a few years ago after a rather unfortunate incident involving Asian street food. What was once sparkling white is now a rather sickly yellow shade, and the pouch has become frayed and stained. The gusset zone is a complete disaster altogether.

But, like yourself, I refuse to bin or burn them. They are more than Y-fronts; they are a direct link to memories of a happy time.

18-12-2013 12:21PM

Dunnes loose fit boxers, think it's 3 pairs for 12 euro. I always get them about a size too big too so they are extra loose. Can't stand tight boxers don't know how people can tolerate them.

Sentimentality toward an honest pair of skiddies is a noble matter. I like to relax on my chez long at home in my Feile '94 t-shirt and aforementioned under pants. Harkening back to my more glorious days.

Underpant nostalgia is good for the soul.

Its more of a practical matter for the discerning gentleman in relation to what he holsters the love pistol in.

Comfort and fashion are not easily combined. :cool:

You really have to take into account wether your choice of boxer/briefs has an easy exit strategy for The Captain.

I prefer an easy open gate, it's much more preferable than having to drag him over the fence.

Really not having much truck with the latest brand of Penny's finest, 3 pack. The gate is obstructed so you've to reach in at a sharp angle and, upon removing himself, it's liable to kink the hose at just the wrong time.

If it's pants, I usually wear chinos or jeans. For underpants, it's always M&S or Next cotton boxers.

That's because you are completely wrong and are mixing up pants and trousers.

Cheap boxers are a complete false economy. Very little thought goes into design or ergonomics. As you say, you have to root around to whip out Herman the one-eyed German. And the material used can really chaff the Bobby's Hat, especially if making regular visits to the lavatorials during a night on the sauce.

Fully agree. If you're reasonably solvent than cheap pants are a definite no-no.
Tarquin the Trousersnake is very important to me and I want him to know that. Spending a bit extra on a proper pair of pants is my way of showing him I care.

In fairness the word pants refers to trousers much more than to underpants in my neck of the woods.

It was only when a blow in got confused one day that we even realised that to some people pants = underpants. pants = trousers by default to me.

I'm a bit on the fence in relation to multi packs. It's nice for the significant other to have a bit of variety in their lives and i like my man luggage to be housed, not necessarily in something flambouyant, but to have a certain 'je ne sais' quoi' about it.

I dont want everyday to be like Sunday in my trousers, to paraphrase Stephen Patrick Morrissey, therefore its nice to have a change of personality for myself and the lucky individual who gets to peruse 'l'arc de triomphe.'

Always thought it was a US vs. UK/IRL English thing to be honest. I'd never heard pants = trousers being used outside the US until very recently.

Choosing black underdelicates has both positive and negative aspects. The positives are the stain masking properties of the colour black. The negatives are that black is famously known for its ability to give a slim appearance. You don't want to be jeopardising your chances with a senorita by appearing to be packing a frozen prawn and two small plums in the pouch. She'll be expecting - and wanting - a more substantial love truncheon if considering a day-trip to the Gland of Hope and Glory.

I need masking

Also my underpants and pantaloons come off simultaneously

I'm born and bred in co. Galway and would always have used pants = trousers. It was when a lad moved to the area from Dublin when I was in my early teens that I heard the pants = underwear. I probably head it on tv too at the time but took no notice.

Rate your pants
