Briefs, Boxers, and Boxer-Briefs
May. 2nd, 2008 10:47 amThroughout my childhood, "underwear" was briefs. If you were a little kid, then Underoos were the exception to the "tighty-whiteys" that are worn by older boys and men. During high school, I find out one of my friends had a whole rainbow of solid colored underwear. I thought it somehow... removed enough from practicality to make me feel colored underwear was extravagant. I was a teenage boy. The only people that saw my underwear was my family. What did I care what color my underwear was?
Then I start rounding the bases with girlfriends and the allure of Marky Mark's underwear ads converted me to Calvin Klein boxer-briefs. By college, nearly all the white underwear was gone. Although I dabbled with boxers, that was too much freedom for my undercarriage to wear on a daily basis.
In prep for the vasectomy, I was told to purchase a jock strap and some briefs because boxers and boxer-briefs were off limits for a while afterward. JD bought me a 5-pack of Hanes tagless briefs. After a week of wearing these things I will say that they are far more comfortable than the briefs I used to wear. Jersey covers the waist elastic band, it's cut nicely, and the lack of a tag (dangling or not) is nice. However, while too much freedom below can lead to things getting squeezed, twisted, or pulled during shifting/walking; I'm reminded that briefs have their moments of squeezing, too.
