Men, give me your brief wisdom

My wife is telling me off for how frequently I have a load to give her. It's getting silly now.

I need some more boxer briefs.

I had a nice collection of Uniqlo Supima, but I bought more a few years ago and they were less elastic - and a bit itchy. Thinking about trying some more (they seem to have changed supplier again) but I would appreciate some wisdom.

Can't be paying silly money either folks - I'm probably a £10 underwear man, max.

So, where are you keeping your balls?

I wear M&S microskin trunks. Really comfortable. £24 for a pack of 3. Can also get them in 'hipster' style.

My partner only buys H&M boxers so there must be something he specifically likes about them .

A ‘load’ of washing?

Apart from a few pairs of 'date pants' I don't bother with expensive underwear either.

I just get trunks/hispsters in colours I like that seem decent quality off t'interweb.

I've had enough of uncomfortable clothes though - and I know they can be better. Constant adjustments don't have to be a reality

I used to be like you, sliding on whatever was hanging around Tesco's..

Wifey recently got me a 3 pack of H&M and 5 pack of Primark trunks. Primark ones went in the bin, constant edgies. Horrible.

H&M FTW.

I go through phases of cheap supermarket loose fit and then more snug fit like under armour.

I’ve had some decent ones from Tesco to be fair. But bought loads of 3 packs of Calvin kleins for £30 so they work out at £10 a pair. Very comfortable too.

Sorry, that was slanderous. I'm just very.. particular about my underwear.

It's cool, I was just saying there are loads of options - I usually go for ones I like the look of. If a product is bad it won't sell for long these days.

I do buy cheap black sports socks though. I honestly prefer them to more expensive formal style socks.

Have a try with some merino wool hiking socks. Changed my life.

Going commando would surely mean you have to change your trousers every day

This is what I'm saying - there isn't as much difference in quality as you'd imagine. I dated a buyer for most of my 20s and it kind of opened my eyes quite a lot. Most shit comes from the same suppliers anyway.

So, this is true - and why my Uniqlo boxers went from good to bad (change in supplier). But if they were all the same then I'd be as comfortable in all of them - and I'm not

It's not so much a difference in quality, as a difference in cut etc.

Uniqlo went through a rough period several years (to a decade) ago so probably cut costs all round. I was a fan of them a while ago but yhe quality dropped massively.

Exactly that - a lesson I learned years ago when I went home for Xmas and Mum showed me the bottle of Tesco White Rum she had bought and I moaned it wasn't Bacardi, till she pointed out where it said on the label "Bottled in the UK for Tesco by Bacardi Ltd" or something similar.
