Men’s Thongs & Bikinis

Men’s Boxers

For full coverage and loose fabric, boxers are the most basic men’s underwear choice. This is usually where men start on their lingerie journey.

Relax in charmeuse styles for a refined feel, enjoy the support of stretchy long compression shorts, or explore your playful side with tight latex boxers.

Men’s Briefs

Briefs are beloved by men because they offer support with a tighter fit than traditional boxers.

You can go basic with camo briefs and solid red mini shorts, or you can get as risqué as you wish with studded briefs and lace briefs.

Jockstraps

Jockstraps may be used in MMA and other extreme sports for protection, but they have other helpful uses as well.

Lingerie jockstraps lift a man up and forward much like push-up bras do for breasts. Therefore, they are worn to enhance and highlight your package.

They are also beginning to be used for comfort and support required due to a variety of medical conditions.

Greet your partner with open arms and an open-front men’s thong—they will never forget it!

This type of lingerie for men is for the more daring or more experienced with lingerie. If your partner has been hinting for you to spice things up in the bedroom, here’s your sign to snag a couple of pairs of crotchless underwear.
