We thought we'd do you a little favour and explore the world of underpants with you.

Let's start by going around the cups

The underpants

The slip (or the brief) is the famous traditional underpants that was born around the middle of the 19th century.

• Perfect for anyone who doesn't like the look of long underwear
• Briefs are underwear with less fabric than boxers.
• Ideal for anyone who feels discomfort around the thighs or crotch when wearing boxers

The short boxer

In 1925, the boxing equipment company Everlast launched the first boxer shorts. To promote movement during boxing matches, Everlast adds an elastic to the waist of its products. Ta-dah, this is a first! And that's where the name boxer comes from! Over time, it was greatly popularized by the Calvin Klein brand.

• The fabric ends at the upper part of the thigh
• The inseam is 3 inches (half less than a regular boxer)
• The boxer short is particularly popular among men between 45 and 54 years old

The boxer

The boxer is a model that is gaining more and more popularity. And yes, that's what the majority of men wear today!

• The fabric does not go up on the thigh
• Inseam is 6 inches
• Warning: Whoever tries it tends to adopt it

The long boxer

The long boxer is the best friend of amateur or professional athletes!

• To promote sports practice, it is often made from a technical fabric

The G-string (also called thong, although it's not quite the same thing) is the most minimalist men's underwear.

• With its thin strip of fabric at the back, it leaves the buttocks bare
• It offers great freedom of movement

The cotton

It is still to this day, the most widespread vegetable fibre in the world of clothing!

• Clothing made from cotton is often more affordable
• The fabric is soft and comfortable

• Cotton products are generally less expensive than bamboo products
• Underwear with pockets is more expensive: their design and manufacture
  are more complex than a regular boxer. Some pockets are even patented, this is the case of our pocket pocket!
