Top Ten Things that Make Men's Underwear Comfortable: Part Four: Sweat Absorption

2009-01-04T10:41:00.000-08:00

Let's face it: men sweat. And men have body parts that can get really nasty when they stay sweaty. Sweat obviously leads to moisture and, without the proper underwear, a man leaves himself open to

jock itch

.

Style and support aside, the next main function of men's underwear is absorbing and wicking moisture away from the boys. Natural fibers are better at this than the synthetic ones. Traditionally, cotton has done the job of absorbing unwanted moisture and reducing the discomfort (and icky health risks) of sweating. But newer,

high-tech but natural fibers

like modal do the job even better.

Obviously for Men

specifically chose modal fabric to keep a man's jewels cool and dry and supported all day.

Underwear Review: Toasty Boys Boxer Briefs

2008-12-02T08:33:00.000-08:00

by guest blogger Stu Skivvy

I was definitely intrigued when I first laid eyes on a pair of Toasty Boys boxer briefs (and yes, perhaps a little skeptical.) Toasty Boys do not look like any pair of underwear I have ever seen, let alone worn. Essentially a pair of longjohns cut short, Toasty Boys are thermal, ribbed boxer briefs with obvious warmth and comfort in mind.

There is no subtlety or skimpiness to

Toasty Boys

. In fact, they appear downright bulky. But the fun, bright colors and thick, soft fabric combined with its practical, uncommon manufacture were all too tempting. I couldn't wait to get into them.

Immediately upon pulling them on, I realized how this undergear got its name. No doubt, this boxer brief keeps your "boys toasty." Yes, the garment's bulkiness was a concern. But upon wear that concern disappeared very quickly. Toasty Boys are so warm and so comfortable they are almost like putting on your favorite pair of pajamas. Yet they are surprisingly lightweight and passed my ultimate underwear test: I soon forgot that I was even wearing them. They sit right at the waist and will fit nicely under a pair of jeans or casual slacks. And they worked very well all by themselves under the bedcovers.

However, let me be clear;

Toasty Boys

are not meant to be worn on holiday in Hawaii or a weekend at the beach. This is a heavy, sturdy garment. While wearing them, I instead found myself longing to chop wood in the snow or curl up next to a roaring fire and toast marshmallows with my true love. Toasty Boys will make the cold weather hot.

With the words Toasty Boys emblazoned in large text along the wide waistband, it won't take someone long to catch on to designer Christopher Anthony's intent. Fun, sturdy, warmth and exquisite comfort. And if you live in a hot climate, don't worry, Toasty's tropical cousin Bamboo Boys is set to unveil itself soon.

Made from 100% naturally grown cotton, first wash your Toasty Boys in cold water with a low temperature dry. If they're not snug enough, wash warm with a warm dry. Available in natural or grey. Sizes small (30 – 32), medium (32 – 34), large (34 – 36), and extra large (36 – 38). Each pair costs $28 at

www.christopheranthony.net

My Boxer-or-Briefs grade for Toasty Boys is a B+. I loved the warmth and the comfort (and so did my boys!) The bulkiness, however, made for a somewhat irregular-looking fit. There was definitely some empty space down below between my boys and the bottom of the boxer brief, but I'm sure this is something that a few washes will correct in no time. I don't live in a cold climate, so I'm not sure how much use I'd get out of my Toasty Boys. But the luxurious softness and casualness of the underwear is undeniable.

Ginch Gonch Founder: The Era of the Metrosexual Man is Over

2008-12-01T07:05:00.000-08:00

Ginch Gonch has always pushed the envelope with their sassy adult-themed Underoos-style skivvies. The Canadian company has long courted the gay market but their apparent outreach to a straighter but larger clientele isn't without

its controversy

.

Boxers-or-briefs.com got some answers from

Ginch Gonch

founder Jason Sutherland.

Johnny Underscore: Is the era of the “Metrosexual” man over?

Jason Sutherland:

The era of the metrosexual man is over! The uber-sexual male has replaced him and is interested in making sure his privates & the other parts of his body that he can accessorize are properly covered. Ginch Gonch has always catered to the uber-sexual male by giving him the fuel for a well-revved high-octane Crotch Rocket that allows for him to show off the gear & his unit with huge confidence. Everyone loves a confident guy.

Johnny Underscore: How has the Metrosexual trend changed the way straight guys dress?

Jason Sutherland:

When it’s related to underwear, the historically endearing “Fruit of the Looms” that had holes, stretched elastic, and sagging bag (even though at some point might have been sexy to some) is in today’s age as bad as a plumber’s crack. Guys today -- especially when gearing down -- are expected to be well manicured & sporting a good pair of Ginch.

Johnny Underscore: What catches a straight guy’s attention when it comes to men’s underwear?

Jason Sutherland:

Guys are being educated that the itchy, irritating label that digs into your back ass crack in those traditional low-cost briefs is just unacceptable. Getting a good pair of Ginches, in our company culture, is ensuring that we are creating patterns that a guy can relate to when dealing with his nooner. Like our Jolly Cocks and our Wiener Eaters, Ginch Gonch’s gear won’t go up your ass & will probably be the most comfortable undies the “new” man has ever put on.

Johnny Underscore: How important are women’s opinions really when it comes to men’s underwear?

Jason Sutherland:

Very. Women need to see that a man is comfortable, confident & secure. Frumpy can endearing but a well packaged sensitive, funny, confident man with a great pear of stylish undies is much more than just adequate.

Johnny Underscore: How does Ginch Gonch market to straight guys?

Jason Sutherland:

We do it through our

cheeky innuendos

like “chockin’ the chicken” or calling our underwear funny names like “Shiny Heiny” or “Cock a Doodle Blue”. That, mixed with our aggressive “all balls to the wind” ad campaigns that feature all kinds of rugged guys like mixed martial arts fighters definitely hits home with the straight market. We also have guys like Ashton Kutcher and Rainn Wilson sporting our Ginches in their movies which gives us that extra visibility.

Johnny Underscore: What celebrity would be your perfect Ginch Gonch spokes model?

Jason Sutherland:

Will Ferrell, Sasha Baron Cohen, President Obama, and Christiano Ronaldo from Manchester United.

Johnny Underscore: Boxers or Briefs?

Jason Sutherland:

The briefs and boxers issue…dead. “Granny panties” boys! The new era will bring about the fusion of both: the
