Brands, designers, and manufacturers know many guys aren’t vigilant when finding the perfect men’s undies, so they focus on style over substance. At Undergents, we don’t believe in that method – cutting corners isn’t for us. Thorough research, testing, and development enabled us to create the best underwear for guys that looks amazing and feels incredible.
So, how did we do it?
Fabric
Be honest, when was the last time you checked men’s underwear packaging to see what fabric they’re made from? Furthermore, could you tell us what materials feel the best and are the most durable?
We found that a selection of fabrics brought different qualities to the table, so we created our perfect blend – CloudSoft. Made from an all-natural plant-based micro-modal blend, it offers a unique silk-like feel, moisture-wicking properties, and cooling attributes, making the ideal wearing experience.
Tension & Fit
Traditionally, we stick to one style of men’s underwear because we can’t take the risk of trying something new. Over the years, you’ve been told to wear a specific type of underwear for your body shape, and you just have to deal with it – not with UnderGents.
The unique paneled design of our briefs, boxer briefs, and boxers provide the perfect tension and versatile fit needed to suit every man. Now, you can choose underwear based on your personal style preference because every pair fits and feels perfect.
Flexibility
The modern man is busy and always on the go. Whether you’re taking the kids to school, on the road for work, pumping iron at the gym, playing ball with your buddies, at the club, on a date, or chilling on the couch – you want to feel chilled, relaxed, and cool.
However, most underwear doesn’t give you that option. You’ve probably got multiple pairs for different occasions because it’s impossible to find one style and brand that’s wearable all day every day. Well, it used to be impossible. The construction of UnderGents gives you ultimate flexibility and freedom of movement because no matter where you are or what you’re doing, your nuts are free to breathe and be supported. Better yet, these men’s underpants move with your body, meaning no chafing, itching, scratching, or irritation.
Breathability
Sweating is natural, everyone does it, but many undies don't help your cause – they’re either constricting, too tight, or made from materials that trap heat and sweat rather than moving it away from the body. You know how it goes – if your nuts are hot and uncomfortable, so is the rest of your body.
When shopping for men’s breathable underwear, you should be looking for quick-drying and moisture-wicking properties that are designed to keep the gents downstairs at an enjoyable temperature. Better yet, these basic features will keep your underwear from generating nasty odors.
Rarely will you find underwear that offers everything, so shop our range to find a style that suits you and change your life today!
]]>You find meat in the absence of coconuts—lots of it. But there’s a catch – you can only have tacos or burgers. Once you’ve accepted the reality that it’s just you and Guy for who-knows-how-long, food is the next big thing to worry about.

How about we wipe out this warped version of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and consider what you’re craving right now? The taco vs. burger debate remains, but in this portrayal, you’re not shipwrecked (and there’s cell service).
It’s On!
Meat lovers could deliberate “tacos vs. burgers” ‘till the cows come home. There are endless variables for each dish – ingredients, preparation, toppings, condiments; you name it. Can this even be a legitimate competition? Probably not, but that’s not really the point here. Chances are, you can have tacos for dinner tonight and a burger at brunch on Sunday.
So, why start this “beef” between tacos and burgers? For one, it’s fun to bring up with friends when you’re sick of talking about the acceptable level of “wokeness” in the workplace or what you’re binge-watching on Netflix. Secondly, who doesn’t like talking about good food?
So, let the battle begin!
For the sake of the average attention span, this particular taco vs. burger war needs some parameters. Let’s break it down into three components: 1. Versatility; 2. Value; 3. Gratification.
Versatility
This is tough since both tacos and burgers can be adapted from the traditional to the over-the-top. From vegan varieties to meaty masterpieces, there’s not a taco or burger that hasn’t been slightly tweaked or significantly transformed. Simplicity is perfect for some folks, while others can’t get enough of the add-ons and oddities that make “food porn” so popular on Instagram.
Yes, the options are all over the place. But this is not a dissertation. Our taco vs. burger clash has to be condensed while still laying out the pros and cons of both the taco and the burger.
Ground beef will be the building block of our taco vs. burger match. Once quinoa, tempeh, and bison are involved, the contest will be more confusing than a presidential election, albeit far more palatable.
So, using ground beef as the base, can we get more variety from a taco or a burger? Here we bring in toppings, condiments, cheeses, and the tortilla or bun that holds the whole thing together.
Burger wins out here. Sure, you can pile a pound of diced avocado onto your taco and smother it in salsa verde and cilantro, but the burger has a world of opportunities that tacos can only attempt to undertake. Why? Because, for the most part, tacos are in their own “lane.” Say “tacos,” and specific, nostalgic flavor combinations come to mind. Of course, one can argue that you could slather vanilla buttercream frosting inside your tortilla shell, but we must maintain some level of composure.
On the other hand, burgers have gone well beyond the classic ketchup, American cheese, and wilted pickle toppings combo we loved as kids. Nowadays, burgers can be a big deal, especially if you’re willing to fork over big bucks for a burger that would make Ronald McDonald choke on his nuggets.
A fine example is breakfast/brunch burgers. That runny egg turns ground beef into gold. A scrambled eggs and cheese soft taco is okay, but the yolky ooze makes the brunch burger so tantalizing. It’s the perfect “hangover” food. Something to really sink your teeth into. A meal that keeps you satisfied ‘till supper. Any cheese you can think of, crispy bacon, and so much more. Plus, rarely does a taco come with a side of fries.
Go all over the globe with innovative burger creations like an “Italian” burger topped with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, garlic, and roasted red peppers. How about a “Hawaiian” burger brimming with fresh mango-pineapple chutney on a toasted, buttered sweet roll? You can take a cue from the taco and top your burger with salsa, hot sauce, jalapenos, and sour cream.
Are tacos up for such a challenge? True taco aficionados would probably hope not. A taco doesn’t need to be mutated to such a degree that it’s barely recognizable. A taco taking on the flavors of teriyaki or alfredo sounds unsettling. Burgers win out on versatility. Case closed.
Value
Short and sweet. Tacos rule. Even the cheapest taco is edible, and with enough hot sauce, it hits the spot. You don’t want a 50-cent burger. Remember this.
Gratification
This category is highly subjective, but with some research, it looks like burgers win out. According to this most unscientific Reddit “Would You Rather” pole, out of 6,700 votes, 3,900 went to burgers and 2,800 to tacos. Could it be the meatiness of the burger compared to the crumbliness of taco meat? The sensation of a warm bun between your fingers as you nearly dislocate your jaw to take that first bite? The fact that Americans consume an estimated 50 billion burgers annually is astounding (if not concerning), but it is what it is.
Results
Burgers – 2 (Winner!)
Tacos – 1
Crushing the versatility and gratification categories, burgers come out on top. So, who’s in the mood for tacos? 😊

First of all, let's talk about grilling. Is there anything more summer or manly than cooking meat over an open flame? Hell no! Whether it's ribs, steaks, burgers, or dogs, men love to fire up the grill and show off their culinary skills. You gotta have the right tools for the job - a pair of tongs, a metal spatula, a killer apron with a funny slogan on it, comfortable underwear, and a cold brew.
The next best thing about summer is hitting the beach. There's nothing like walking along the shoreline, feeling the salt water spray on your face, and checking out all the the bikinis. And if you're a surfer, then you know what I'm talking about - catching a gnarly wave and riding it all the way to shore. Board shorts, and a killer tan - that's what summer is all about. Of course, if you can still ride the waves with ease and grace, then you’re winning, even if it’s just a statuesque dad bod shining on the board and you tumble after tumble from the waves. Surfing is a sport that requires courage and tenacity and is a way for men to connect with the power of the ocean, and the ups and downs we have all year.
Of course, we can't forget about sports. Whether you're playing ball or watching the game on TV, summer is the season for being active. Baseball, basketball, football, you name it - men love to play and feel young again. And you gotta have the right gear too - a cool jersey, a sweatband, and some fresh kicks, and some good support underneath. If you’re a golfer, you know it’s a game of patience and skill, a sport that requires a balance of strength and finesse. Ideally your score is below that day’s temps so you maintain your handicap. A cold frosty one is always waiting at the end of a round and brings home that great summer feeling.
If you love the feeling of power and freedom, nothing beats donning a pair of sunglasses and firing up a motorcycle, hitting the streets in the morning or at dusk, the wind whipping through your hair. That feeling of freedom and abandon, as you accelerate down the street feeling the warm air, makes everything possible. The motorcycle is still a symbol of rebellion and individuality, a way for men to express themselves and break free from the constraints of society and the office.
And finally, we gotta talk about comfortable underwear. Yeah, you heard me right, that one thing all guys need for the hot days is a cooling, moisture wicking pair of comfortable UnderGents. Let me tell you - if your boys aren’t comfortable down there, then you aren’t going to enjoy summer. That's why you need UnderGents, the best damn men's underwear on the planet. Soft, breathable, and designed to keep you cool and dry, UnderGents will make sure your manhood is happy all summer long. Trust me, fellas - your boys will thank you.
]]>But what happens when the woman in your life buys you underwear? The woman in your romantic life that is. Not your mom. Side note: If your mother is still buying your underwear, that needs to end. Immediately. Now back to the gift of underwear from your special lady.
The art of underwear gifting changes shape depending on the phase of the relationship. We all know that every relationship is different, so you’ll have to use your judgment when it comes down to it. But when in doubt, count on these relationship phase milestones to figure out if the box of underwear you just opened is a red flag (not literally) or a sweet move from your sweetie.
]]>Your underwear drawer may be stocked with a satisfactory supply of skivvies from the everyday work pair to the “big night out” boxer brief. Most guys could always stand to have an extra pair or two, especially if there are significant lags between laundry days.
Of course, buying underwear for yourself isn’t anything to write home about. That could be an awkward letter for dad to receive. What you like to wear underneath your pants is personal, even if you have amassed some Instagram-worthy pairs.
But what happens when the woman in your life buys you underwear? The woman in your romantic life that is. Not your mom. Side note: If your mother is still buying your underwear, that needs to end. Immediately. Now back to the gift of underwear from your special lady.

Newly Dating
We’re talking a couple of months, tops. If you receive a pair of underwear from your new fling, there are a few things to consider.
-Is it Valentine’s Day? If so, standard rules may not apply. She may be going for a fun, sexy vibe – a little jokey, a little, “Let’s jump in the sack.” Accept the underwear confidently and lay off the Valentine’s chocolates until you debut the pair for her.
-Were you friends first? If she’s someone you’ve known for a while before dating, a pair of underwear at this early stage is acceptable. She knows that you won’t get freaked out by the gift and that the relationship is going somewhere.
-Does she work in the men’s underwear industry? Then it’s not weird, and she probably gets samples from the showroom. Free underwear is nothing to sneer at, even if you don’t see a future with her.
In most other instances, underwear gifting at this stage is a gamble. You may think it’s cute…or creepy. Go with your gut and pray it’s not a generic 3-pack from the drugstore.
1 Year+ Relationship
You’ve been together for at least a year, maybe two or three. You may still be in the “honeymoon phase” or feel a “we’re more like roommates” tone taking over. Either way, you’ve been together for a while, and you’re surely in love with one another.
At this stage, the underwear gift comes from a caring, dare I say, practical place. She knows you and what she likes to see you wear. Consider the underwear a sign of affection – more love than lust. Still, it’s nice to know that she’s thinking of your “down there” wear, and it’s far better than getting a pair of socks.
That said, if she’s buying you underwear because you’ve given up on the task yourself, her gift is more like a recommendation. Keeping the romance alive requires action on your part, so ditch those dingy decade-old whiteys and get your act together.
At this point in a relationship, getting underwear from your special someone is perfectly fine. And by the way, she wants you to reciprocate.
Long-term Couple
You’ve likely fallen into a relationship routine. It’s safe and comfortable. But let’s not let it get too comfortable. Is your partner buying your underwear during the same shopping trip where she picks up the rotisserie chicken? This is not a gift; it’s a checklist item. Don’t let things get to this place.
On the other hand, if the sparks are still flying, or she is hoping to reignite the fire, your partner may gift you new underwear to spice things up in the sex department. This is good. Great, in fact. She still desires you and seeing your derriere decked out in something special. Even if these new undies are uncomfortable compared to your run-of-the-mill boxer shorts, wear them with a smile. And when you’re feeling randy, snap a selfie to send to her while she’s at work.
In a nutshell, the gift of underwear from your long-time partner is either a force of habit or a fresh start.
And remember, “’till death do us part” could be decades from now. The bottom line? You’ll need new underwear, and it should be every few months, not every few years, so be happy she cares.
]]>Men have a habit of clinging on to worn-out underwear full of holes, stains, skids, and faded color. They don’t know why they do it – maybe they don’t understand just how important underwear is. One thing's for sure – they haven't considered how you, their partners, view this nasty habit, how those holey boxers are the first thing you notice when he takes off his pants, rather than the sexy man you used to see.
You know your man, and what style of underwear he prefers, why not treat him to a few pairs of brand new, comfortable, and easy on the eyes boxers, briefs, or boxer briefs? We hear you asking, what’s in it for us? We’re about to tell you the benefits that new underwear for your boyfriend brings to you.
When it’s your turn to do the laundry, is there anything more off-putting than pulling out a pair of old sweaty boxers that have been sitting at the bottom of the pile for days? Picture yourself now, retching, holding your nose, gasping for air – you don’t want to do that anymore.
Like getting into clean bed sheets, there’s nothing that feels quite like pulling on a new pair of underwear. You’ll notice a change in your man the moment he sports his new UnderGents for the first time – the feel of the ultra-soft CloudSoft fabric, the pristine color, and the perfectly formed fit will have confidence running through his veins. They are made so well that he will feel like this whether it’s his first time wearing them or the thousandth time.
What better way to force him to throw those old pairs in the trash? Stocking up with multiple pairs will ensure he doesn’t even notice all those old underwear disappeared.
It’s safe to say your guy appreciates you a little more when you’re wearing fresh, new, sexy underwear, so why shouldn’t he? Has it been years since you saw him in a pair of fresh clean date underwear? Chances are, you don’t actually know how it feels to see him in new men’s underwear because most men have pairs over 10 years old (yes that is gross) – why not buy UnderGents for him and find out for yourself?
Men sweat, whether they’re working, running, walking, or sleeping, and guess where all the sweat accumulates? You guessed it – down below. Now imagine the amount of sweat those decade-old boxers have seen – no wonder they stink so bad. Now’s your chance to make his bad underwear odors a thing of the past. And UnderGents’ CloudSoft fabric features premium micro-modal that has anti-bacterial properties and wicks so good that he will feel and smell fresh every day.
If you’re struggling to find gift ideas for men, underwear is perfect! Men don’t know this, but they should replace their underwear every 6 months, making it the ideal Christmas, birthday, Valentine’s, Father’s Day, & Anniversary gift.
Don’t tell him we told you, but his underwear is just as much for you as it is for your man. Check out the Undergents collection – they make the perfect underwear gifts for him.

The days of laying on the couch in sweats and underwear moved to the home office styled in lounge wear (UnderGents Swagger Lounge Sets if they were smart), and underwear with a shirt on top (for those Zoom & Teams meetings), and essential workers searched for more comfort in their workplace styles. UnderGents was able to provide men more comfort underneath than ever before and have sold out of top colors and styles several times in the past year. Our array of men’s basics; including boxer briefs, briefs, boxer shorts, and loungewear, were able to give men that much needed ultra-soft comfort and coolness underneath.
Now that we are heading into the summer months and men are on the move by going back to the office, starting new adventures, and getting together with friends and family, they no longer want to feel constricted; and, that means saying good bye and good riddance to those old constricting underwear that make men feel like they are back in lockdown. Men’s thighs don’t need to feel squeezed and constrained any longer. UnderGents CloudSoft fabric and designs skim the leg, without squeezing like a bike short, to provide the incredibly soft and cooling comfort that make men feel confident and courageous to take on anything life throws at them. We know for a “fact” that men that feel good underneath, feel better in everything else they do. UnderGents are perfect for men that are heading out and about and want to stay cool, dry, and odor free underneath (hey, you never know what can happen when you feel this good, and you want to ready). Men that really like to feel free are converting over to our modern take on the tried-and-true boxer short. UnderGents boxer short has a tapered leg versus the old school flared leg, so you enjoy all the freedom of movement known with a boxer short along with a styled look that feels great under any shorts or pants. We hope all of you will keep those emails coming that share all your adventures and newfound comfort in UnderGents. We want you all to head out and get moving in UnderGents and revel in the joy and smiles on your face knowing you are comfortable.

]]>Gaining weight and size as we men move past our twenties is a normal life change and results in changes to how we look and what we feel good wearing in our daily lives. Men can become frustrated with how things fit and most of the time they just keep trying to grind through wearing the same things they have always worn. We know firsthand what this is like and the biggest challenge we found after gaining weight was comfortable underwear. That’s why UnderGents was born. As we matured and began focusing on our children’s lives we found less time to maintain our exercise routine and we were enjoying a few too many nuggets and slices that our kids enjoy. After quickly gaining 20 pounds we were needing larger waist size pants and found existing underwear lacking. Our boxer briefs started to feel like a vice with a heating coil and we would need to get to the restroom at work just to drop trow to feel some relief and cool things down for a few moments before heading back to the desk. This might explain why so many men are reading the paper in the can, it’s a way to drag out the cool down before tightening everything back up for another few hours working the phones or spreadsheets.
We wanted to alleviate this problem for the majority of men and developed UnderGents men’s underwear as the comfortable men’s underwear alternative for men tired of being force fed brands that could care less about men’s comfort. We have always said look at what is being done versus said and we stand by our comfort, in fact, we guarantee our men’s underwear, or loungewear comfort. This is achieved by designing our underwear to be a bit bigger in the areas that matter, such as a wider leg, wider body panels, multiple panels that move with a man versus fewer pieces (i.e. lower cost) that pull across a body, using our CloudSoft® fabric featuring micro modal from Lenzing that is multiple times softer and cooler than cotton & polyester. We also use a lower level of elastic so our boxer brief skims the leg versus squeezing it tight. We think the UnderGents Boxer Short is the best short you will ever wear, period, and you will want to wear it out and about (we made sure to not add pockets to the boxer short because men would forget they had them on and head out). The Inpsirato Boxer Short uses our same great fabric and is designed as a boxer short so you feel and unencumbered down stairs.
UnderGents underwear is designed for every sized man, and is as comfortable on a big man with a 50 inch waist as a 30 inch waist guy. We know guys complain about underwear that is too tight, is chafing and itchy, and causes sweating and stink. These are not problems that men have to ignore. There is a comfortable solution for you. When you don’t feel good in what you are wearing it shows up in what you are doing. The best performing men realize UnderGents helps them improve versus holding them back. The great thing about UnderGents men’s underwear is you will feel good in all our styles, whether you are a boxers or briefs man, or choose the best of both worlds and wear a boxer brief, we have you covered in comfort. We think UnderGents are the only brand of men’s underwear that you will truly enjoy and want to wear every day.

Mr. Britt was spotted by paparazzi and hundreds of stunned onlookers as he emerged from his Malibu home to warm his face, and his unmentionables, in the early morning sun. Mr. Britt was seen stretching and doing yoga on his balcony, in his underwear. Except that very little of him was actually in his underwear.
Photos taken that day show an utter lack of concern for the comfort, containment, or control of Mr. Britt's bits. As he moved between downward dog and warrior position crowds were confronted with a full swing action as Britt’s danglers repeatedly emerged from unintended holes in his moth-eaten, threadbare tighty whities.
Parents in the crowd quickly covered their children’s faces and ushered them off the street. Those unfortunate enough to catch an eyeful before being turned away were inconsolable, terrorized by the sight of 50-year old Britt’s bag bouncing in the morning dew.
Female onlookers said they were...unimpressed. “I always imagined him less droopy,” said one witness. “It was like an old leather change purse, stretched out by years of abuse. Goes to show you reality never lives up to the fantasy.”
When confronted with the images by his publicist, Mr. Britt reportedly giggled uncontrollably for 15 minutes while coughing out the phrase, “franks and beans!” repeatedly. But his laughter quickly turned somber when he learned that women everywhere were now choosing to focus on their husband's faces instead of fantasizing about Britt’s during sex.
For Britt, the only thing larger than the holes in his underwear is the size of his ego, and it simply couldn’t take the blow of knowing that his junk had been downgraded to junk bond status. He needed help, and he needed it fast.
Fortuitously, one of Britt’s staff had recently started wearing Undergents underwear. He knew how utterly comfortable it was, and how it cradled everything the way it deserved to be, creating a visual appeal that fixed the gaze of anyone lucky enough to chance upon the sight. Immediately he knew what needed to be done.
Opening his gym bag, he removed the clean pair of Undergents he’d brought to change into after his workout. Britt snatched it up and retired to his bedroom to make the switch. Within seconds he reemerged, a new man. His junk was comfortably contained. The fabric was so soft and pliant it felt as if he was going commando even as his knob and bobs were perfectly suspended.
In joyous rapture, Britt burst from his beach house back onto his balcony, his proud package clad in a perfect pair of modern silver Undergents boxer briefs, buoyant and free, to the delight of his fans. “Yes!” cried a passerby as Britt strode into her field of view. “That’s how I always imagined it! It’s so...beautiful! I, uh...need to take care of something. At home. Right now.”
And that’s how Undergents’s mind-blowingly comfortable underwear saved Pad Britt’s, and not Brad Pitt’s career.
]]>We believe your best option to feel fresh underneath all summer is wearing UnderGents men’s underwear made with our CloudSoft micro modal. Shown to be multiple times softer and cooler than cotton and polyester (or god forbid, wool), you are sure to feel better underneath in UnderGents.
The genius of UnderGents is the thermo-regulating CloudSoft fabric coupled with our Vitruvian Man designs that move with men’s bodies, offering comfort without compression. That means top functionality, moisture wicking stay dry (and stink free) comfort. Polyester is great for a base layer during an NFL game in the winter, but men don’t want or need that furnace and compression the rest of the day, especially in the summer heat. UnderGents Inspirato Boxer Briefs are so lightweight and freeing, guys may feel like they’re going commando without worrying about any sweat streaks coming through their shorts. As we always say comfort without compression means UnderGents underwear will gently skim along your legs without squeezing in any uncomfortable ways (avoiding that bike short feeling).
Summertime doesn’t mean you need to bake your beans unless it’s for the BBQ. Keep yourself feeling dry and odor free in cooling comfort this summer. We invite all guys to feel the summertime difference that comes with wearing soft cooling UnderGents. What’s Underneath is Important!
]]>Micro modal is a semi-synthetic fiber made from beech trees. How can trees be used for fabric, you ask? Lenzing was the first to develop Modal in the 1950’s. They developed a process to use the cellulose of beech trees to create yarns that could be knit and woven. One of the reasons beech trees are used by Lenzing is that beech trees multiply by rejuvenation and are self-propagating and sustainable. When Modal was first developed it was viewed as an ideal human use fiber. It had qualities similar to cotton and a strength similar to Viscose. During the ongoing development Modal improved and then in the 1990’s Lenzing introduced Micro Modal. Micro Modal fibers are very thin and strong along with high flexibility. This results in a fabric that is incredibly soft on the skin and is highly absorbent and pulls moisture away from the skin.
When we were developing UnderGents we investigated fabrics and wanted to find what would be the best material for men’s underneath comfort (great men’s underwear need to have great comfort). We landed on Lenzing’s micro modal because of all the positive inherent properties that men notice when the fabric is worn. These include; a) incredible softness (multiple times softer than cotton and other synthetic fabrics so it feels silky soft and comfortable against the skin; b) moisture management, in that micro modal is much more effective than cotton in pulling moisture away from the skin (while cotton absorbs and bloats in that diaper like fashion) while also avoiding bacterial growth (have you noticed how polyester and sports technical fabrics hold a stink even after washing? It’s because they wick moisture but support bacteria growth between the fibers which modal avoids); c) cooling on the skin, our micro modal blend keeps men cool underneath and has been shown to feel 20% cooler (men say Wow that’s Not Hot!). As you can see, those elements alone make for a great pair of underwear, But Wait, There’s More. Our blend of CloudSoft Micro Modal has even more benefits that include high fiber/fabric strength, color vibrancy and color retention (holds it’s color and dyes well and continue to be bright), and easy to launder and care for.
Now let’s talk about the environment. There is a lot of discussion these days about textiles and their effect on the environment. We all care about the earth and our home and that is another reason we chose to work with Lenzing Micro Modal to develop our CloudSoft fabric. Lenzing has a history of being dedicated to sustainability and the environment. They adhere to a strict compliance program and utilize trees that are sourced from sustainably grown forests. All of the Lenzing Micro Modal fibers are certified as biodegradable and compostable under home, industrial, soil, & marine conditions, and return to nature. During production over 95% of any chemicals used are recycled. This results in UnderGents products being sustainable and feeling great no matter what your world view is.
We like to say that UnderGents men’s underwear feel natural because they are natural. Our products are from nature, in tune with nature, and are a feel good companion for all your adventures. We encourage all men to start wearing UnderGents. The best boxer briefs, briefs, boxer shorts, and Swagger lounge wear will change how you feel every day.
]]>No matter if you’re Team Pickle-Hole or a fan of having no fly seamless support in front, you’ve got to know that opinions vary and some men can get down right fanatical about their preference (you might think it’s a political debate topic). In the end it really comes down to a personal choice, although we have found some trends in this choice.

No time to fiddle!
First of all, fans of the pickle hole —the small fly in the front of men’s undergarments—like to say that it saves time by providing a quick access point. But the truth of the matter is that undies with a fly are not always tailored to your body and easy access. In other words, the one-size-fits-all approach to a fly/pickle hole has resulted in a flawed design that is essentially defunct.
While the fly is a common way too small to get in and get out, it really depends on the type of men’s underwear being worn and the design of the fly. We have also found a common theme is the age of the man and the style of underwear he grew up with.
If the man is a boxer short guy or wore boxer shorts for most of his life, he is used to an open vertical slit that was a nice oval window lacking a closure and great for games of peek-a-boo underneath. Those woven boxer shorts of days past only required a trousers fly to be lowered for his little buddy to be free to let loose. We can all admit a fly in the boxer short allows for some quick draw action whether it be in the bathroom or bedroom. In doing research, we also found guys had fond memories of early forays in dating where this pickle hole allowed all his dreams to come true. It provided for easy access for little flirtations on the down low.
Some men grew up with a whitey tightie or (tightie whitey), also known as the old school banana hammock. These briefs had a multi-layer front pouch with over lapping fabric with a reinforced seam and semi-circle opening. This fly required men to do some mining for the freedom and release. Usually this fly was too small for a hand to go in easily and the overlapping material would close back on his member requiring his hands to keep things in place. Some guys liked that little squeeze on their member but a lot of men began flying over the top. This required opening their pants button but they no longer felt like they were fishing around within their pants. This save men time and allowed them to get comfortable dropping the top of their underwear and letting it all hang out for relief. There is no wrong or right in the pickle hold debate, it comes down to personal preference. We have seen that age plays a role. The boomer generation likes to use a fly and finds the idea of going over the top as non-manly. But it could also be a bit of shyness and keeping everything in close and tight quarters,
As boxer briefs have become more the staple underwear style for men, the fly debate intensified. The boxer brief gave men some of the boxer short benefits, but the oval front fly wasn’t one of them. We decided to add a fly to our new 6 inch boxer brief but we gave men a drop top horizontal fly. This means all men need to do is drop in from the top and let loose. No more fishing through multiple panels, just an easy in and out that is like an over the top but with a fly.
No matter your preference UnderGents has a style for you. Our 6 inch boxer brief and boxer shorts have a fly for those men that want one (as well as the Swagger Lounge Pants with a button fly front) and our original 4.5 inch boxer brief and Inspirato modern brief are flyless for all the men that want the freedom to drop the top, fly over and barn storm all they want. While the debate will rage and opinions won’t change, we think the fly debate is likely to rank up there with politics & religion as an item that when discussed, won’t change someone else’s mind.
The only thing we want men to know is that we here at UnderGents are always working to find better comfort for men underneath. We listened to some men that wanted a fly and we are adding options that men want while staying true to our comfort first mission.
]]>When intimacy is part of the picture, clothes come off and curiosity captivates. A new relationship has its adventures, and long-term commitments still have their charms. No matter the stage or scenario, one thing remains constant. You’re wearing underwear…or not…but let’s say skivvies are a wardrobe staple that’s a steady thing, for argument’s sake.
]]>Impressing the ladies can be lifelong work. Men who are willing to pull out all the stops to show a woman what he’s worth will go to great lengths to get her to take notice. He will take her to the finest restaurants, send her flowers for no reason (or at least a good one), shower her with jewels and gifts, and show her a good time. Whether she’s “the one” or a one-night stand, a guy who’s got his “eye on the prize” is putty in her hands. The thrill of the chase winds up with him in her corner, and when she is also interested, everyone’s excited.
Getting Down To Business
When intimacy is part of the picture, clothes come off and curiosity captivates. A new relationship has its adventures, and long-term commitments still have their charms. No matter the stage or scenario, one thing remains constant. You’re wearing underwear…or not…but let’s say skivvies are a wardrobe staple that’s a steady thing, for argument’s sake.
Guys may not care much about what’s going on under their blue jeans as much as they’re interested in the pretty panties under his girl’s party dress, but women are paying close attention. Shredding, stains, or heaven forbid, “skid marks” can turn what was about to be a hot night into a hot mess. And for the females who are fond of a fella who goes the extra mile to make sure his head-to-toe look is spot on? They want more than a pair of undies that guys in junior high and grandpas toss in their carts at thrift stores. Dapper dressing is a must-do, right down to the underwear.
Your (Very) Personal Stylist
Thankfully, for the men who have the fashion sense of a squirrel, UnderGents is here to rescue those lacking street smarts in the “down there” department. From boxer briefs to modern briefs to boxer shorts, and lounge wear, all styles are covered and super comfortable. A good fit means everything from a woman’s perspective, as gaps and sags are so not sexy. Not to mention the array of cool colors to show you’ve got some personality, as well as moisture-wicking properties so your dampness doesn’t put a damper on your date. “Swamp ass” is a night-ender like no other.
There are guys who don’t care for underwear at all. To each his own, but perhaps they’ve just never found the right pair. No annoying tags and supple softness makes UnderGents feel like a cloud where the sun doesn’t shine. Plus, letting it all hang out may turn a woman off, or at least catch her off-guard. For the sake of easing into things, give underwear a go and go from there. You may actually realize what you’ve been missing. Your top dresser drawer can finally be put to good use.
It Takes Two…
Of course, there are ladies out there who could care less about your underwear. That said, it’s only fair if you return the favor and deal with whatever she decides to put on. “Granny panties” are far from flattering, and when her undies have the days of the week embroidered on the band, you know she’s never showing up to surprise you in a negligee under her trench coat. So, put out what you want back and up your underwear game. UnderGents make it a breeze, and you won’t bust your wallet to work them into your wardrobe.
Get On It!
Fellas…there’s a fine line between being a “regular” guy and a gentleman. Bridge the gap with better boxers and briefs. Your special someone will see that you’re sensible and stylish, and when you’re in the moment, your confidence will come through. Toss your torn pairs in the trash and slide into something special.
]]>The hard truth is that men can be creatures of habit. They’re happy to stick with what’s comfortable, even if it’s painfully uncomfortable. Men often go with what’s familiar, safe, and within a five-foot walking distance. They want to take care of themselves, but only if the effort required is less than what’s required to not take care of themselves. So allow us to suggest an alternative motivation. One that’s equal parts selfish and selfless. If you’re not going to buy good looking, comfortable underwear for yourself, do it for the ladies...for yourself.
There Are Other Benefits to Consider
We understand that the underwear you bought while you were still living in your parent's house is like an old friend. It was with you when you went off to college, when you got your own place, when you entered your thirties, and what’s left of them is still with you today. They cradle you, not in the way they should, but in the way you’re used to.
But women don’t care about that. They don’t know your boxers’ history. They don’t understand the special bond you share. They only care that they make you look like an unwashed hobo. And no woman wants to get down with an unwashed hobo unless she is herself an unwashed hobo.
So if you’ve set your romantic sights somewhere above the level of grungy railroad squatter, you need to up your sexy game. If you want to land a smart, attractive woman, or satisfy the one you already have, you need to give them what they want. Don’t do it for you. Do it for her. For you.
If the Underwear Fits…
You know what a seductive set of lingerie does for you. It helps you rise to the occasion. And then after a snack and a nap, rise again. Doesn’t she deserve the same consideration? Women need to get there, and seeing lefty and the boys dangling from a thread worn hole in the side of your skidmark-stained tighty whities isn’t the visual she needs.
Instead, get yourself a baker's dozen of our supremely comfortable, obsessively engineered underwear and put on a show she’ll remember. You’ll realize you’ve never owned underwear so perfectly conformed to each and every crevice. Big Joe and the twins will revel in luxury they’ve never known. You’ll love your underwear so much you may not want to take them off. But that would be a mistake. If she wants them off, do it. Quickly. You can always put them back on later.
But don’t do it for yourself. This isn’t about you. It’s about her. Turn your sexiness up to eleven and satisfy her needs...and then you might stand a chance of her satisfying yours.
This has been a public service announcement from Undergents.com, a gamechanger in men’s underwear.
]]>The screams of victims could be heard for blocks. One particularly unfortunate case was heard repeatedly shouting, “My balls! My junk! Sweet Mary and Joseph, someone please find me some talcum powder!”
]]>The screams of victims could be heard for blocks. One particularly unfortunate case was heard repeatedly shouting, “My balls! My junk! Sweet Mary and Joseph, someone please find me some talcum powder!”
“I’ve never seen anything like it!” remarked one paramedic as he hurried out of the crowd to fetch another container of diaper rash cream. “I didn’t know thighs could self-combust like that! It’s like their underwear was made of sandpaper. Why would someone do that to themselves?”
The country, already reeling from the memory of what happened three months ago during the finals for the Mountain Due, “Come On Baby, Let’s Due the Twist” endurance dance competition, was unsure how to take the news.
As first responders moved among the victims, wading through inflamed thighs, ruby red nutbags, and blazing tallywhackers, one onlooker commented, “It was horrible. Like sweaty bacon stuffed into unwashed tube socks. I nearly fainted. These men should have chosen better men’s underwear.”
Amid the confusion, however, one group of runners emerged from the pack, seemingly unscathed by the epidemic of rug burn that had cut down so many of their brethren. Officials from the Centers for Chafe Control were desperate to understand what rendered these runners immune to the “abrasive event”.
Dr. Nimbus Slapbottom, an expert on scrotal excoriation, was called in to examine the participants. He presented his findings at a news conference later in the day.
“After examining more seared nether regions than I ever care to again, “said Dr. Slapbottom, “I’ve come to the conclusion that immunity was conferred by what I can only describe as the most comfortable, cooling, and moisture wicking men’s underwear that I’ve ever seen in my career. It’s my professional opinion that UnderGents men’s underwear saved the nether regions of many men today.”
Representatives from UnderGents gave this statement in response to the shocking findings:
“First, our hearts go out to the men who were victims of today’s unfortunate heuvo roast. Those poor jibblies never asked for what happened to them. But it doesn’t surprise us that our mind-blowingly comfortable CloudSoft men’s underwear offered protection to those participants smart enough to clad their man pouches appropriately.”
“We’ve designed & engineered our men’s underwear to be extremely soft, wicking both moisture and heat away from the skin, to keep our customer’s beanbags cool and fresh. They offer just the right amount of support, keeping everything in place without causing your voice to climb an octave. They simply fit right, offering comfort without compression, whether you’re running a marathon...or not running a marathon. What’s underneath is important and we wish more men understood that before today.”
In response to the tragedy, nearly every other major health organization on the planet changed their undergarment guidelines to include UnderGents as the preferred means of preventing inflammatory, crotch-related chafing incidents.
Today a grateful legion of men turn their hearts, and their web browsers to www.undergents.com to say, “Never again.”
]]>Guys…it is not an act...it's their underwear.
We’re not alluding to the fact that his garment is “skid-mark” free for once or that he is not dealing with a worrisome “wedgie” situation. This suave individual made it his mission to slip into UnderGents before finishing his head-to-toe look and letting himself shine. See, comfortable men’s underwear is the foundation for fearlessness. The cornerstone to confidence. And the prop to his…well…private parts. Hey, manhood does have its base (so to speak), and any UnderGents wearer knows it lies inside a well-fitting, cooling pair of briefs or boxers, or a combination of the two.
Relying on underwear to unleash your courageousness?
Some may think the sentiment is shocking, perhaps stupid, but without well-made men’s underwear underneath a pair of work-appropriate slacks or even sporty sweatpants, a guy’s “game” is basically garbage. When your “tighty whities” are more like “loosies” or your boxer briefs are so big and baggy they could clothe a second set of butt cheeks, there is absolutely zero chance you feel even remotely Romeo-esque. You’re inching closer to an “Al Bundy” type with one hand tucked inside your waistband and the other wrapped around a can of cheap beer. This sort of guy is going nowhere, and probably not “getting any” either.
A simple, stylish solution…
The man who honors his humanness by giving a rat’s behind whether or not his underwear is acceptable is already achieving. He is proud of his presence and determined to not let himself go, even if no one else can see it. This gentleman could be a professor or a police officer. A stay-at-home dad or a shop owner. No matter the man’s past, his present place in life, or plans for the future, without that core charisma and confidence, everything else unravels. Just like a pair of worn-out underwear.
UnderGents is for every guy. Good-looking or good personality, tall or short, young or old, fit or flabby. No two men are the same, but they can start their day nearly identically. Slipping into a pair of men’s underwear that is made well and modern is a must. Just like brushing your teeth and combing your hair (if you still have yours), putting on a pair is one, or more accurately, two steps closer to perfection. You do not need affirmations or a pat on the back for a confidence boost. All you need is a great pair of underwear.

Here we’ll pair some personality traits as well as other related pairings between men and their underwear preference. See if you can spot your own behaviors and attitudes with the sections below. You may even realize you’re not wearing the type of underwear that best suits your unique qualities. A switcheroo may be just what you need to become the man you were meant to be. Remember there is no bad underwear style, but there is bad underwear comfort out there, so no matter your style, choose comfort, choose UnderGents
Men’s Briefs:
They may not always be tight…or white, but they are brief. The butt-cheek-hugging briefs are a lot of guys’ go-to, whether it’s nostalgia (1st style he ever wore) or convenience. Briefs underwear are what most boys are first introduced to as an underwear style and some guys simply never grow out of them. While many men have moved to other styles, the brief is tried and true, and the brief man likes consistency. He doesn’t fix what’s not broken. The brief is for men that like some support but don’t want to be smothered. They don’t want to be flopping free like a nomad, but they also don’t want too much restriction. They want support where and when it’s needed, but they don’t want it overdone like a bike short with compression. The modern briefs man is comfortable showing what he’s got and getting free and loose when the mood hits him (he can rock it at Burning Man). The briefs man is usually pretty sexual and has a high libido. The brief assures him he won’t be popping any tent poles in the middle of the office when he’s solving problems and chasing dreams. UnderGents has taken this old-fashioned style up a notch with modern cut and style, more breathable fabrics, & a super soft feel so even the boys get a caress in these undies. UnderGents awesome modern brief means men can flaunt it and be comfortable whether they are a grower or shower. The briefs guy is into well-balanced meals and easy-to-make recipes. Yes, he’ll even do the cooking, as long as the ingredients’ list doesn’t exceed five items (seasonings included). He never skips breakfast even if all he has time for is a Pop Tart
The Briefs Guy’s Perfect Date:
Dinner then make a move. The briefs guy is simple, but he gets the job done. Why fix something that ain’t broke, as they say. Mind you, this dinner is nothing fancy, but the food is filling, and the price is practical. He doesn’t bother with a movie because he wants the action or rom-com to happen back at his place. He may not show the sensitive side on that date but as for those moves? The old stretch and slip an arm around the shoulder may be predictable, but it puts things in motion. If he’s feeling comfortable, and in UnderGents he will, he may excuse himself for a moment and next thing you know, he walks by in his skivvies. He’s using the let it be seen and then put something else on move, or he’s ready to be risky & get down to business. What happens next….
The Briefs Guy’s Hobbies:
A “Mr. Fix-It” at heart, the briefs guy is a hands-on type who’d rather fiddle around with a busted pipe than paint with watercolors. His hobbies are action-oriented with something to show for it at the end of the day. Pastimes like reading or listening to music don’t produce anything practical (in his opinion), so he’ll rake the leaves rather than stop and smell the roses.
Boxer Briefs:
It would be too easy to classify the boxer briefs guy as the perfect combination of the briefs guy and the boxers’ guy, but there’s far more to the the boxer briefs guy than meets the eye. From his modern sensibilities to his flair for fashion, this fella is forward-thinking, friendly, fun, and cares about what others think. He is usually a convert from the brief or boxer short and is following trends and doesn’t like to be left out. Making a shift for something sleeker means more options and more coverage. The boxer brief man is usually trying new underwear brands because he comes from other styles and can find many boxer briefs either too tight and stifling or too long on the leg. Now that UnderGents has introduced the first true form boxer brief, men are realizing they can have the coverage and freedom of movement like a boxer short with the touch of support that comes with a brief. In UnderGents boxer brief, the legs aren’t squeezed but rather, they are caressed or hugged in CloudSoft fabric that means the man can strut his stuff and not feel like he’s showing too much or too little. The boxer brief guy can be a health nut and likes to try the fad diets or juice cleanses, but he knows he must have protein, but at nice dinners he skips the bread bowl. He generally follows a well balanced diet and is always worried about putting on a few.
The Boxer Brief Guy On A Date:
This boxer brief guy is a pleaser and he’s planning for how to make sure his date is happy will try and plan something the date likes. He is comfortable adding a movie or club after dinner so he can show his sensitive side and his fun side. When he’s with his bros he’s likely to have a bourbon old fashioned or vodka soda but on the date he either goes for a bottle of wine or a mule. He wants to show that he’s got facets. If he gets back to his date’s place he may pull the naked man routine because strutting out in boxer briefs leaves to much up in the air (are his legs to skinny, is the bulge not big enough, does his butt appear to flat or too round) and he doesn’t like to face a questionable face. He would rather get the green light with the naked man or the flat-out rejection and say he mis read the signs.
The Boxer Briefs Guy’s Average Weekend:
There’s booze, brunch, and hanging with bros, but he usually starts each Saturday and Sunday with a vigorous workout and gentlemanly grooming. The boxer briefs guy has FOMO and fills most of every minute, never turning down an invitation to meet or an opportunity to try something new. He’ll go to the art museum or a concert, but don’t expect to see him following a list. Chores and errands can be done later, so he’ll get the boring stuff done mid-week when the singles are shopping.
Boxer Shorts Underwear:
Loose and freeing, the men who make boxers their underwear/undies of choice aim for freedom and comfort. Before getting fully dressed, they relish the breeze as it sweeps up their thighs and sets the tone for their day. The boxer short guy may be a power broker or love the 80’s but he’s usually not the first guy to change his clothing style but he does know his music. He’s still not sure about skinny pants, and who can blame him, because those boxers never feel great jammed in and bunched up. The boxer short guy thinks that if he wanted to be squeezed underneath he would switch styles. This guy may invest in his wardrobe but it will always be in classic styles that are timeless. This guy can rock the pleats like a posh British royal. The boxers guy has plenty of pairs to choose from, but he will swap out undies at the gym for the built-in undies in his workout shorts. Now that UnderGents is introducing a new boxer short that carries UnderGents heritage of comfort, this guy is in for some new surprises. The UnderGents new boxer short is loose but tapered to follow the leg. The CloudSoft fabric is a win times ten for the boxer shorts man because he can get out of that woven underwear and now enjoy all the great attributes of a boxer short in UnderGents knit ultra soft CloudSoft material that is cooling and stretchy. The boxer short guy hits the gym but he doesn’t worry about or count his calories. He knows what he likes and goes for it. If he notices his belly getting bigger, he’ll swap out some carbs and starch for a salad but he’d rather add some miles rather than give up the food and drink he enjoys and he always makes room for dessert.
The Boxer Shorts Guy On A Date:
The man in boxer shorts has time on his side. He plans his dates based on how he feels that day and hopes his date will enjoy it too. He likes to say it will be a surprise. He can have that spontaneous and fun outlook that comes from not being constrained underneath. This guy doesn’t mind a pop tent sprouting because he is confident in his goods and wants his date to know what’s available for the taking. If the date ends well, and he’s in his UnderGents boxer shorts, he knows she will love the soft and comfy feeling fabric and that hand may wander just where he wants. He knows that his awesome UnderGents boxer shorts are like a yellow brick road guiding her hands to the magic. His only worry is she’ll want to be wearing them the next morning and try and keep them for herself.
The Boxer Short Guy’s Work Ethic:
This guy’s all business. He doesn’t mess around and won’t be passed over for a promotion. He’ll have his fun after hours and never misses a lunch break, but when he’s on the clock, he’s on the ball. When you need a co-worker you can count on who’s on time and knows what he’s doing, the boxers guy is Mr. Reliable. That said, generally speaking, we have no clue what type of underwear the guy in accounting is wearing, but we bet it’s from a multi-pack that came in a clear bag of some kind.
Commando Man:
Lastly, we have the “commando” men who forgo underwear for reasons that run the gamut. Since this situation can be circumstantial – laundry day, or a lack of awareness that everyone can see his shaft’s silhouette through his sweatpants, it’s just too hard to pin down an all-encompassing personality type for the guy who has given up on underwear. The one thing we do know is that the commando man doesn’t feel like the rules apply to him. That said, if only he had a pair of UnderGents at the ready, he’d cover up and be a better man for it.
Are you ready to step up your underwear game?
]]>
We know most of you have a “lucky pair” that you remember from a few good nights. We get you, we had lucky pairs as well, but if that lucky pair is older than your car, it’s run out of luck and it’s time to get a new pair. We also know your lady doesn’t want to celebrate an anniversary with you in those nasty skivs you wore the 1st time. She may not tell you, but she wants to see you looking fresh and sexy in new underwear the same way you like seeing her in new lingerie. Let’s be real, if she came out sporting the same lingerie & underwear from that 1st time, complete with skids and tracks (like you do), would you be grinning ear to ear like you did the 1st time? Doubt It! We bet you might run for the lights, because, if she catches that look on your face, Game Time just became Game Over.
So, here’s the deal men. You should be replacing your men’s underwear every 6 to 12 months. We know that sounds like a lot, but we want you to be on top of your world. Even if you don’t replace your underwear that often, we suggest you start cycling through them. Mix it up with multiple styles like boxer briefs of different leg lengths and colors, modern briefs, a boxer short for hanging out. Above all, find underwear that’s comfortable. We are biased and know UnderGents are as comfortable as it gets, but do what’s right, even if that is another brand. Think about it this way, those old underwear are absorbing all the leftover waster, sweat, and stink you are dropping down there. Most men wear the same underwear once a week so after a year those puppies have been worn 52 times. Would you keep your running shirt after doing 52 marathons in it?
If you got this far and have not run to buy new UnderGents underwear, and if you are ready to refresh, we are giving you a coupon code to save 20% on your next order, use the code word ‘decade’ at checkout to save.
]]>We have pointed out previously that only 10% of men are satisfied with their underwear. This meant there was a big gap between what men want and what is currently offered. We started to research the biggest complaints down to the smallest issues. This research taught us a lot and led us to our flagship UnderGents Inspirato line. We learned men began to gain weight in their 20’s and it continued on year after year. Underwear isn’t something men think of buying every day but they do realize that they are always adjusting, pulling, and wanting something different than what is in the underwear drawer today. The biggest complaints from men included: overly tight boxer briefs that squeezed the legs (we call this the cycle short effect), overly tight waistbands that were slick and felt sweaty and rolled over, underwear so tight and always bunching up when sitting or walking, the hot box crotch leaving the boy’s down below very sweaty and funky (which is why 30% of men spritz some cologne in the skivvies), a lack of support in traditional boxers and too much support and compression in boxer briefs and trunks, material that felt thick and itchy, seams that irritated and felt awkward or were placed where they rubbed and chafed men, tags that scratched, legs that were too short or too long, briefs that felt like a diaper and looked worse than one, and on and on. It became clear a lot of the problems men were experiencing came from big brands trying to produce the lowest cost product as a commodity with little regard for how men felt and what they really wanted.
UnderGents mission is to design and develop men’s underwear that would address the biggest complaints from men and are the most comfortable men’s underwear available. We started by looking at how we could approach the problem differently and not just iterate from what is out there today. We started to silo the efforts, so we could combine the solutions. First, we looked at how men are shaped and how they move, as well as how that is different at 18, 35, 60, etc. Over time men’s shapes change and movement adjusts as well. We coined our design as the Vitruvian Man design to incorporate male geometry and proportion in how we constructed our flagship boxer briefs and modern briefs (our trunk is a shorter leg version of the boxer brief). In designing our products, we wanted to allow for flexibility in movement so we created a multi-panel approach and placed seems away from joint rubbing areas so there is no chafing and irritation. We also used flat lock seams which provide a smooth inside feeling for extra comfort. We also made sure the backside (or butt) is seam-free so you are not sitting on a ribbed edge all day (we see that some brands have added a horseshoe seam on the rear for a visual but it really is most uncomfortable). Our contoured front pouch is designed to allow room for the boys and isn’t meant to strap them down. We all know a man’s junk changes size throughout the day and no man likes to have his assets feel locked down. We added other panels that provide flexibility for the underwear to move with you. We also began researching fabrics that we incorporate into our designs. Cotton can be great, but men should know all cotton is not the same. The length of the fibers is a determining factor in softness and durability. For example, Pima Cotton is not a definition of softness and a number of manufacturers blend fiber lengths to make bolder claims. While high quality cotton can be comfortable, it also absorbs moisture and thickens resulting in what we call the man-diaper (oh baby isn’t that sexy…NO). We also looked at polyester fabrics as we had been led to believe wicking was a good thing. Turns out, wicking is good but what’s important is where it wicks to and what is retained. Our research showed us polyester fabrics wick moisture away from skin but trap heat and even worse, polyester traps bacteria in the fabric which results in a grand funk (and we don’t mean the band). Ever wonder why all those performance and sports T’s you work out in start to regenerate smell after being washed? It’s because the bacteria and mold don’t wash out so easily and they tend to build workout after workout. Now think about that smell and what she will think after having heat trapped all day in your crotch with moisture moving through the fabric to feed the enemy…..(you get the picture). We found micro-modal had some of the best properties of cotton and polyester without the drawbacks. First off, our unique CloudSoft® micro-modal is a nature source fiber that is sustainable. It’s a tree-based pulp fiber that multiple times softer than cotton, wicks away moisture without trapping heat and bacteria. The result is a fabric that is multiple times softer and cooler on the skin than cotton or polyester. We married our design components with this ultra-soft CloudSoft® material and the result is what many are calling the world’s most comfortable men’s underwear brand. Our Vitruvian multi-panel design with CloudSoft micro-modal is underwear that moves with you for comfort. The brands that advertise as stay-in-place don’t tell which place they stay, and it is usually the last place they moved and due to the extra tight fabric that stay right where you don’t want them. UnderGents are designed to be Comfort Without Compression so they move with you every step of the way, all day, every day comfort. Whether you like Boxer Briefs, Trunk, or a Brief, we think you will love UnderGents for men’s comfort underneath. If you have been wearing traditional boxer shorts, we invite you to try UnderGents Boxer Brief as a great modern alternative where you will feel the comfort and freedom of a boxer short while gaining the sleekness and smooth feeling and refinement of our boxer brief. Current fashion has pants slimmer and skinnier and as men add a few pounds the UnderGents men’s underwear solution means comfort “wear” it counts.
When people ask us who and why, we love to share the above and we hope you all give us a try. We offer free shipping on all orders so you don’t need to spend a minimum amount to avoid an up-charge and we offer an UnderGents Comfort Guarantee. If you don’t like your first pair of UnderGents, return them for a full refund. If you are not comfortable we are not comfortable.

We categorize these dark times in the evolution of men’s underwear as “The 1st Wave”, which consisted of low-cost, multi-pack underwear available in only one or two drab styles. The cheap and uncomfortable underwear did nothing more than provide a barrier between skin and pants and were really nothing more than a skid pad.
Most guys remember 1st Wave Underwear as tighty-whities and plaid woven boxers (which went out of style years ago). You may also remember the scratchy thick straw-like cotton material, seams, and irritating tags in the back along with the pulling and bunching as you wore clothes and moved around. These “Caveman Pamps” commoditized the concept that being uncomfortable down below was the only option for your manhood, unless you went commando, which can feel good but sure leave your drawers in need of some special cleaning. Needless to say, it was a very dark time, when men had to simply suck it up, tuck it in, grit and smile while their boys down below were actually crying inside.
The 2nd wave of men’s underwear did little better than introduce a couple of fabrics beyond cotton, such as nylon and polyester. This phase in men’s underwear shifted to a heavy fashion label marketing approach that focused on striking a vogue pose but did very little to improve men’s comfort and these new 100% polyester options actually acted more like a furnace heating up a man (in the wrong way) and trapping heat, moisture, and odors in his underwear.
We saw the primary outcomes of the 2nd wave as uniformity and ubiquity in the style and underwear designs offered. In addition, men were introduced to the new world of compression and cycle short underwear that acted like a vice grip that were overly tight and increased the bunching and pulling so familiar with the 1st wave of men’s underwear. 2nd wave underwear familiarized men with the walk, adjust, shift movements that occur due to pulling in bunching when men move and walk due to the high compression levels inherent in the products.
These 2nd wave underwear also had big negatives that guys don’t like to talk about because they didn’t really understand what was happening. The heavy use of petroleum based polyester and nylons trapped molecules of perspiration leading to bacteria growth and much higher levels of bad odors that left guys feeling sticky and sweaty, known to many as swamp butt and other colorful terms. (This also explains why 30% of men spray cologne in their underwear).
Today, UnderGents has taken underwear architecture and engineering to a new level known as the 3rd Wave of Men’s Underwear. We deconstructed what a man really wants from the underwear – Comfort, More Comfort, and Style. We took these factors to heart and began designing underwear focused on comfort that is incredibly soft, gentle, and supportive to every man’s most important area.
UnderGents is a refreshing change for the historically boring and confusing evolution of men’s underwear. By working with world-class designers and best-in-class manufacturers, UnderGents created a unique approach to underwear known as our “Vitruvian Man Underwear Design” that incorporates male geometry and movement to produce the world’s most comfortable men’s underwear – the perfect balance of gentle support with CloudSoft™ comfort.
Our CloudSoft™ fabrics and innovative product designs including multi-panel Vitruvius geometry construction with flat seams, custom comfort waistband, and comfort guarantee will provide you with the freedom of movement, style, and dry odor-free comfort to take on all of life’s adventures. We believe you will find UnderGents underwear with our CloudSoft™ fabric blends that wick away moisture and leave you dry and odor free to be the most comfortable underwear you will ever wear. Every man deserves Limitless Style & Comfort underneath. Every man deserves UnderGents.

Our purpose in launching a new men’s underwear brand was to redefine what every man can expect in terms of comfort and function in his underwear. We saw that 8 out of 10 men were universally unhappy with their underwear. UnderGents has taken underwear architecture and engineering to a new level.
]]>Many of the problems we heard about most included: boxer briefs that feel too tight like a compression short or cycling short, boxer brief legs that are too long and squeeze the thighs down to the knee, underwear made of petroleum based polyester that are hot like a furnace down below, cotton underwear that is rough and scratchy, briefs that are unflattering and boxy in the rear, traditional boxer shorts that are bulky and bunch up in pants and shorts (especially in flat front pants and skinnier styles), boxer shorts that have no support, trunks that ride up creating a wedgie, briefs that capture and hold moisture like a diaper, tags that are itchy, waistbands that fold over and lose shape after a wash cycle, seams and sewing on the rear that are rough and are felt whenever sitting down that cause constant shifting.
We used these comments as challenges we needed to solve in order to develop men’s underwear that the majority of men would enjoy wearing every day and for every situation. We focused on comfort factors in our development that included; 1) sourcing non-petroleum based materials and fabric blends that are incredibly soft while also comfortably cool against a man’s skin, which resulted in our unique CloudSoft™ fabric; 2) developing and utilizing a multi-panel construction design to account for the way a man moves so there is no binding on one side while movement occurs somewhere else (our Vitruvian-Man underwear design); 3) using flat-lock stitching to combine the ultra-soft material panels together so there is no chafing, itching, or scratching; 4) developing a custom no-roll tag-less moisture wicking waistband that is soft inside and out; and, 5) developing men’s underwear styles that addressed the tightness and looseness men were struggling with. The outcome of this focus is the world’s most comfortable underwear that is soft and cooling on the skin.
It Starts with Our Unique Material Selection:
We began by testing a multitude of materials and gathering feedback and test results, then repeating the process until we felt ultra-comfortable in the precision fabric blend that would insure each pair of UnderGents underwear (Boxer Briefs, Men’s Trunks, and Briefs) would meet our UnderGents “Under-Gentle Promise” for comfort & satisfaction. Our CloudSoft™ natural sourced micro modal blend has been researched and developed to provide unequaled softness along with support and stretch to keep you comfortable all the time. Our CloudSoft™ material has a cooling silk-like feel on the skin, is multiple times more absorbent than cotton, has incredible air permeability to keep you cool and dry all day long, and is sourced from nature. This incredible material is great for working all day, going out all night, lounging, or exercising.
The natural elements of our modal blend don’t retain heat or have the harsh chemical elements of many petroleum based micro-fibers and synthetic materials. We don’t want to wrap your family jewels in chemical byproducts with unknown effects and we know we are not the only people to see a pattern in that the rate of testicular and prostate cancer has increased dramatically since petroleum based synthetic fabrics have become mainstream in a number of fashion brand underwear. We want you to be vigorous in life and one sure way to help make that happen is to insure it doesn’t feel like a furnace in your drawers. With UnderGents, you will be cool as a cucumber all day long (or better said, your cucumber will be cool all day long!).
Multi-Panel Construction Follows Male Geometry:
Our CloudSoft Comfort Design (CCD) was inspired by Renaissance Master Leonardo Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man and Vitruvius’s research in human proportion. The Vitruvian Man drawing is iconic in its design that represents correlations of human proportions with geometry. While many have used the drawing for artistic purposes, we furthered its use as an example of the proportional movements of the male body and the need to take universal movement into account (why it took 500 years to use this inspiration for comfortable men’s underwear is still a mystery to us). While our fabrics are incredibly soft and luxurious, that wasn’t enough, and we next focused on developing designs that eliminate the bunching, pulling, and rubbing that occurs while wearing most other underwear. UnderGents’ unique multi-panel design follows the geometry of male anatomy and movement. Our designs provide the space you need in certain areas, unbelievable flexibility of movement, and structural support to be going all day and night. Our unique multi-panel design with contoured groin panels allow the underwear to move the way your body moves without the pulling and binding that is so common in most underwear.
Flat Seams:
To bring the material and panel design together and maintain unrivaled comfort, we use flatlock stitching to keep everything smooth that touches the body. Most underwear brands use low cost stitching with raised seams that rub and chafe the body, which is a sloppy and self-defeating structure. UnderGents reversed that thinking to put the softest flattest seams facing the body. This avoids chafing, scratching, and that mysterious itch that comes and goes throughout the day when you move.
Custom Waistband:
Our UnderGents men’s underwear custom waistbands follow the same intricate design aspects as the rest of our product. Comfort and durability are the most important factors in a waistband. Our multi-ply jacquard bands insure softness and comfort all the way around your body. We are always amazed at other premium brands using a cheap itching or textured band that folds over and scrunches with wear. UnderGents custom waistbands are designed to maintain softness and resist the scrunching and rolling that is common in many other leading brands. In addition, our tagless care labels are heat transferred to the back of the underwear so they are flat and have a zero-feel on your body. We don’t want you pulling and itching due to that sewn-in tag that is the hallmark of underwear irritation in other brands.
The Result:
UnderGents Boxer Brief and Trunk designs incorporate a modern marriage of boxer brief attributes with traditional boxer shorts. UnderGents boxer briefs and trunks are looser on the leg than the tight compression short/cycle short feel that men find uncomfortable and hot during the day and night. They also gently hug the leg and body in a modern sleek manner to allow for free movement, and move with you versus pulling and binding. They also have incredible air flow to keep you cool and odor free while also fitting nicely behind shorts and slacks.
The UnderGents Modern Brief is a new brief design that is as close to the traditional whitey tighty as a Tesla is to a Model T. Our new Brief uses our light CloudSoft fabric with a geometric front pouch to hold the boys in place while the legs open high towards the rear to provide free movement, insure comfort and offer a flattering look.
We know you will be comfortable and inspired every day in UnderGents men’s underwear so we named our flagship designs “Inspirato” and we hope you find a new adventure every day in UnderGents.
