Effective and timeless, men’s briefs are THE perfect underwear for men. This discreet, comfortable and trendy undergarment comes in all kinds of styles and materials. Although they have often been overlooked in favour of boxers, which tend to be seen as more masculine and which provide more coverage, they have come back to the forefront in recent years. Briefs come in a wide range of cuts, and can therefore be adapted to suit everyone’s body type. They offer unparalleled comfort and also provide excellent support for your private parts. If you’re not sure which briefs to choose, fret not! We at Inderwear are here to guide you through your selection of the most popular underwear of the moment.
Different cuts of men’s briefs
The classic men’s brief
The classic brief is the style we all know and recognise. Curved slightly high on the sides, they offer less coverage than their boxer counterpart. They offer greater freedom of movement and are therefore perfectly suited to sports activities. The athletic, slim-fitting cut emphasises your figure and highlights your assets. The briefs cover your entire buttocks for optimal comfort. The front pouch also perfectly covers your private parts for exceptional support. It has a wide elastic waistband for a soft, comfortable feel around the waist. In terms of style, the classic briefs can be basic and timeless, but also sporty. In cotton or microfibre, they are a perfect choice for everyday wear. These briefs can also come in more sexy and unique styles made of lace, mesh or tulle, or printed with a fun and offbeat pattern.

Men’s tanga briefs
Another cut of briefs: the tanga brief. This one has a distinctive high indentation at the thighs. It has no fabric on the sides, giving you even more freedom of movement than with a traditional brief. This results in less friction, for even more comfort. Sexy, elegant and daring, the tanga brief is more sophisticated. Just like a classic brief, they have a wide elastic waistband and a front pouch that allows you to move around perfectly. The tanga brief also comes in a wide variety of styles, ranging from classic to playful. Lace, cotton, microfibre, it all depends on the occasion you want to wear it for.

The mini briefs for men
The men’s mini brief, also known as the bikini brief, is THE new must-have item in the men’s wardrobe. Modern and trendy, they have recently debuted on the men’s underwear market and are now a very promising success. Similar to women’s panties, the mini brief is minimalist, light and discreet. Unlike the classic brief and the tanga brief, the elastic waistband is ultra-thin, almost invisible. The mini brief is for you if you are looking for underwear that does not show under your clothes. The mini briefs are enveloping and comfortable and offer good support both in front and behind. The mini briefs can be sober and elegant, in cotton or microfibre, but also more sexy, in leather or lace. Let yourself be seduced by this gorgeous style!

Now you know the main types of men’s briefs! But keep in mind that there are other specific styles that may fall under these categories as well, such as the unique, asymmetrical side briefs or kangaroo briefs, which have a very recognisable, practical and easy-to-reach front pouch. More provocative than its counterparts, the empty bottom brief is perfect for cheeky occasions with its jockstrap-like opening at the buttocks. Finally, as a fairly recent addition to the world of men’s underwear, the cockring briefs with a ring embellishment or cock ring opening are a great kinky choice.
Briefs, for which body type and for which occasion?
What body shape should you have to wear briefs?
How do you choose the right briefs to fit your body perfectly? Thanks to their wide range of cuts, briefs can be adapted to all body types. But if you had to choose, here’s what we’d recommend. For a V-shaped body, i.e. with a broad, muscular bust and shoulders and a slim waist and legs, you have a slender silhouette that allows you to wear classic briefs, tanga briefs or mini briefs. So you can have it all. If you have a fuller figure, you can opt for a classic brief, in which you will feel more comfortable. However, for a special evening or a date, be daring and try more fitted briefs. For those with small, flat buttocks, don’t hesitate to show them off don’t hesitate to show them off with low-cut and minimalist styles or briefs with a round buttocks effect. Tanga briefs and mini briefs would be perfect for you. For shape enhancements, you can also opt for shapewear push-up briefs, with or without foam padding.
