The daily comfort of each representative of the stronger sex directly depends on the quality and the correct size of men's underwear. The first prototype of men's underwear was loincloths, then - body pants, underpants. For the first time, a model similar to modern men's underwear appeared only at the end of the 19th century.
Modern models of cowards
The range of modern men's underwear is quite diverse. Many different cut models are designed to make a man’s personal comfort an everyday aspect of his life. An important point is the correct size of men's underpants. The table will help you make the right choice.
Family underpants
Loose fit was very popular during the Soviet Union. Many people prefer this model even now, in the 21st century. As a rule, soft cotton fabric is used for sewing family members. Lingerie does not fit the body and provides freedom of movement. Of course, under tight pants such linen categorically does not fit.
Boxer shorts
The cut of the model is similar to boxer shorts, which explains its name. The length of the shorts can be different: short, medium length, long. There is also a sporty linen design that fits the cut. The advantage of this model is that linen at the same time fits the body (which allows you to wear any clothes), and provides freedom of movement. The most popular form of boxer shorts - shorts, but recently began to appear new options: leggings, boxers "for family".
Hips
Hips is one of the invariants of boxers. They are distinguished by a very low waist and shortened legs. Often they are bought as beachwear. The model fits the body very much, but due to the soft tissue, the inconvenience should not be felt. The shape of the hips leaves a lot of space for experimenting with fabric textures: mesh, polyester, bright inserts, prints.
Slips
The model is interesting in that the back of the underwear has a cut of boxers, and the legs are very open in front. Forms of slips differ mainly only in the depth of the cut near the pelvis and the width-height of the side fragment (mini, midi, micro format).
Tanga
The model is similar to slips, but differs by the presence of a wide lateral elastic band instead of the side part. In fact, you can sew such a model from two triangles of fabric and elastic. Forms of a tang vary in gum modifications: lacing, narrow strip.
G-string, shorts
The model is characterized by a narrowing of the back of the linen almost to a strip. The front of the laundry is similar to boxers.
Regardless of the model range, you must accurately choose the size of men's underpants. A table (or dimensional grid) will help you with this.
How to choose men's underwear
When choosing clothes, evaluate it consistently according to the following scheme: comfort, quality, shape. The criterion of "comfort" is very individual and depends on your personal preferences. As for quality, it is better to choose cotton products, with a small addition of lycra, polyester. Pay special attention to the quality of the seams, the thickness of the threads. Cowards should not compress the body, restrain movement and at the same time it is enough to fit the figure. The main role in the selection of men's underwear is played by the sizes of men's underpants. The table will help determine the correct value.
How to determine the size of men's underwear
There is no universal grid for determining the size of men's underwear. Most manufacturers use their country's size chart. In addition, the cut of linen also makes adjustments to the size range (for example, a lowered waist). The fabric also affects the accuracy of the parameters, for example, cotton does not stretch well, respectively, the mesh data for determining the size will obviously be larger than for models made of polyester. Large linen forms folds, and narrow will reap. Be sure to consider the individual characteristics of your figure, body type, shape of the buttocks.
