Slightly off topic but need advice
 

Do you guys wear brief style underwear? I'm currently wearing boxer briefs but I want to switch it up and try something with more support. I don't want to massive classic "righty whites" but something more modern and attractive. I was thinking about this one

Any suggestions?

That looks like a great deal for genuine Jockey Elance

Elance
 

I go with Sebbie - meets your "midway" requirement at a decent price too.

I like these for every day wear.....

I wear these and they are fantastic. I could never go with boxer breifs as they are too hot and offer to little support. Classic Hanes on the other hand crushes my nuts as they are flat and have no stretch. The bikinis below I find are perfect. Free range of leg motion, no chafing,a pouch for your parts but with some support. I will only get lycra/spandex undies now as they adjust to my anatomy. I also love sides that are 2" or less

Can't go wrong
 

A jockey white brief is super classic. Many fashion photographers use either those exact briefs or a similar cut a lot of the times because it's very sexy. Rick Day has lots of hot pictures of gents bulging in their jockey briefs.

If you read Amazon, there will be reviews about the side seam digging into your skin. I bought a three pack on Amazon earlier in the year and yes, indeed, depending on how tight your pants are or where they ride, they can dig that little seam into you. So be forewarned.

Still, it's a very sexy look and every guy should own a pair!

seam stitching
 

If Amazon reviewers (plural) have drawn attention to uncomfortable side seams has the Jockey manufacturer made any effort to explain and/or adjust to remove the discomfort?
(seems to me some customer satisfaction assurance is needed here as underwear is the last garment one wishes to feel digging in anywhere
and Jockey is not cheap)

Whoa is the underwear that see through? Or is your modified?

That's it
 

Hello Skinnykid,
That's what it looks like, no modifications whatsoever.

Here's a tame picture by photographer Rick Day of a model in the same briefs

Obviously it's a popular brief because it's very photo friendly...

Wow i didn't know that it was see through. No one mentioned that in the reviews.

Why all this plugging of Rick Day ? - nice, but nothing remarkable there
(first link flashes about a bit and then says "error")

Chris: stick to what you have been recommended - what's the practical point of having see-through for underwear anyway ? - it's just a photographer's prop.

Just get them in a darker color if you are concerned. I wear bikini underwear for comfort when it is warmer out. When it's cooler, I go for normal briefs (more support, and keeps everything warmer) from Jockey.

So I got it in the mail today! It's definitely more on the transparent side but as long as you point "it" down, it's not that bad. The lighting makes my skin look orange for some reason. What do you guys think? I think it's alright.

your order
 

Looks fine on you Chris - you are not wearing them as a tight fit by the look of it , so are you avoiding any "digging in" at side seams?
After all it is comfort for you which matters, although I do not understand the logic of your cock being better down than up if the fabric is transparent anyway.

It looks not as tight but it feels pretty good. This is the smallest size that they have (28-30). I don't have any seam problems. The seams seems fine and I'm not sure what the problem is. Pointing down doesn't show as much detail and it's more modest.

As with anything you are going to wear -- but especially underwear -- comfort and fit is of prime importance. I personally like things fitted, but not too tight. I am big on comfort. Can't really enjoy life if your undies are giving you a wedggy.

Yeah I think that the fitting is right. Maybe because I was pointing down, it looks like it's big and baggy. If I point up, it looks better.

SkinnyKid, you look great! Seriously! And it looks like there's just enough fabric that you could even wash AND dry it and if it shrinks a bit that wouldn't be a problem! I hope you enjoy them. And as another contributor said, if you do like them, you can always buy darker colors and there'd be less of a transparency issue. Also, there are lots of other manufactures making similar cuts. I bought a 5 pack of Papi brand at a TJ Maxx a few months ago, same cut, just lots of colors. Probably cost me $12 or so.
Regardless, you're super sexy and you totally rock 'em! Cheers!

Actually after washing it, it looks tighter. It looks a lot better now.

Maybe you should show us the before and after washing pictures...

Post Wash Picture

Skinnykid, looked good before, looks great now. Still, dude, you could wear a burlap sack and I think it'd look good on you. Thanks for sharing. Seriously! I hope you enjoy them. If you ever need more suggestion, hit me up. I own about 200 pairs of undies.

what's a burlap sack?

In the olden days it's a cheaply made sack that was used to carry things. Think bags of potatoes at the old General Store that you might see in a classic western.

That said, if you wore a burlap sack Speedo, hopefully it would have a nice smooth lining, otherwise you'd be quite uncomfortable.

Basically saying you're so hot you could wear a sack and you'd look amazing.

Oh haha well I appreciate it. I'm no near the real models on the magazines. Just a regular dude

Regular dude. Sure. Okay, you've obviously not been to a mall in America lately.

Back to your original post. I'd also recommend giving a look at C-IN2. They often have great sales on their out of season colors. If you register, they'll send you a coupon for a discount on your first purchase too.

I'd recommend the Lo No Show Profile Brief or Active Brief cut for you. Also you should get a few jock straps. There's nothing sexier!

Paying $20+ for a one pair of underwear is crazy

That is the dilema I've had. Either you get very uncomfortable underwear for $3-$6 a pair or you pay $35 for a bikini in local stores. That is why I ebay (never used only new)...

Joe Boxer
 

Some of the Joe Boxer connton briefs at KMart are really quite good, and at 4 for $10 the price cant be beat. The Joe Boxer thongs get particularly rave reviews on the KMart Web Site. Readmg mens thong reviews, especially for "first timers" are always interesting and fun.

You can get a 5 pack of Fruit Of The Loom for around $20 here:

Or try K-Mart or Marshalls or TJMaxx or any of those places usually have packs for pretty cheap of basic briefs and boxer briefs.

I have some Hanes like thoses and they are much better than the other stuff but they still are terrible compared to anything that isnt all cotton....

Speedos (the old name brands, are now priced so high - it's oft better to go for a generic or in house brand.

Swimsuit outfit. Com has a lot to choose from. Their "SPORTY" name brand comes in a tone of styles.
I suggest ,(well what I do being broke) is sort all from lowest price up.
First few will be one very expensive speedo special editions., But the amazing price once you click is really close to nominal, with one suit left in size 26, or so.
Reliable company & fairly priced
