Even the underwear's becoming longer

I guess it's up to me to act as the loyal opposition.
After a lifetime of wearing briefs and bikinis, I switched to boxer briefs a few years ago. Some are ugly, saggy, and baggy, but high end microfiber boxer briefs like the Calvin Klein "bold" are friction-free, with excellent support & comfort, and handle hot days well.

But that's just my underwear. For swimming, Speedos forever!

I am with Lapcounter. Sometimes I like the longer cuts and the microfiber athletics styles are really comfy and they stay true to fit. Variety is fun...

Ive noticed it too and it is driving me nuts. I cant find any good underwear in socal in stores anymore. Most undies now are boxer breifs or hanes original and if you go o a specialty shop you'll pay $40 a pair and it will still be rigid cotton with a thick waistband. I personally think boxer breifs fit much better than other widely available cuts (tighty whighteys and boxers) but having worn bikinis they are a good step down. They retain heat and sweat more, your balls still stick to your leg, and they sometimes crease in weird ways. (They rarely do chafe tho)

As I said in an earlier post I have always preferred briefs and have had very good luck with "day of the week" (just because I got a kick out of the variety of colors of the waistband and trim) bikini briefs from Aussiebum that are part cotton and part elasticine. They have a 1" waistband and hold their shape very well. They are so light it feels like I'm not wearing anything. I've also had good luck with cin2 no show briefs that also hold their shape but are a bit heavier. I've tried boxers and have never felt comfortable in them.
