Men's Mesh Briefs

The Guys Behind Men's Mesh Briefs

He's adventurous. He seeks attention but wants to appear modest enough to skip the commando look and feel (not to mention support!). He's at ease with himself and probably has an amazing body. Who can blame a guy for wanting to show it off by slapping on some of the non-traditional lingerie out there and strutting his stuff? Besides, there are other benefits to mesh briefs. The best thing you can do for this guy's ego is admire his confidence, his body and his fashion choice.

You'll probably find mesh briefs on the "player" types in the clubs, but you could be surprised to take the Clark Kent-esque bookworm back to your place and discover that he, too, is a big fan of see-through skivvies. Mesh underwear is probably more popular than you think! There are websites with pages devoted to this type of underwear, which is available in many colors and serve numerous functions from fashion to comfort. Wear your most daring lingerie to appeal to his wild side. Take a hike with him if he wears them for their cool, functional side.

Some Say Sexy; Others Say Strange

Just as there are several different styles of men's mesh underwear -- including briefs, thongs and bikinis -- there are a number of different opinions on those mesh undergarments.

Regardless of what the girls and guys who aren't wearing them say, the men who don the briefs will tell you they're great for sports, hot summer days and for just keeping cool. They're good for hiking and traveling. They keep odor to a minimum because they allow your skin to breathe in the most intense conditions. Another bonus? They dry quickly, so if you do work up a sweat, you can get comfortable again quickly.

If you want to buy your guy a pair of mesh briefs, make sure you feel him out first to see if he'll be susceptible to the idea. Some guys would never put on a pair of anything but regular boxers. Others prefer traditional Fruit of the Loom white cotton briefs.

Find Yours Now

If the washing machine or the dryer just keeps eating your undies, you have a definite excuse to go out shopping for more underpants. Why not check out men's breathable briefs as a new and exciting way to heat up your bedroom attire? Unless you prefer to sleep in the nude during the summer months, this style of underwear can't be beaten. They're lighter, cooler and more frivolous than your average tighty whities.

This guy's not afraid of mesh.
