Everything that you need to know about men's pouch underwear but were too afraid to ask

While underwear for males hardly gets the consuming attention its female counterpart receives, men and women are taking a closer look to non-traditional men’s underwear, even more when talking about pouch underwear.

Men’s pouch underwear is certainly getting a lot of interest these days, partly because men have become more fashion and health conscious about what they wear even under their clothes, and partly because both consumers and companies alike have realized the benefits of having a pouch in your underwear.

From hygiene to protection, from comfort to looks, and from quality to convenience, men’s pouch underwear has got it all in terms of underclothings for men.

There is hardly any man that has tried pouch underwear once, and has got back to wearing regular undies. As a company that’s been specializing in pouch underwear for men for the past 15 years. We’ve seen the shift in demand, but have also witnessed first-hand how, once consumers discover Ergowear, fall in love with the pouch concept and become regular wearers for life.

What is pouch underwear anyway?

If you’re here, you’ve probably done your research and already know what is pouch underwear. In any case, we’ll just explain what pouch underwear is by quoting one of our long-time customer reviews referring to our pouch underwear concept: "Just like the breasts on a woman are more beautifully displayed with the right support in her bra, this pouch design takes what a guy has and gives it a different look and feel".

In other words, women have been wearing anatomically correct underwear for decades. Don’t you think it was already time men got their equivalent?

What’s wrong with my tighty-whities?

It’s a question we get asked very often, and every time we answer it, we are proud there’s potentially one (or dozens) less tighty-whities in the world.

To everyone out there who’s still using tighty-whities, here’s a few things pouch underwear can do that tighty-whities can’t.

• lifts your anatomy
• separates your c&b
• gives you a profiled look
• 100% performance approved design
• doesn’t ride up
• attracts looks
• you'll always be fancy looking
• they last longer

Modern underwear designers recognize that it’s not just women who care about their panties and their delicate parts. Men do too, and they are looking for boxers, briefs and thongs that look good for anyone who sees it.

And if you think you’ve had enough of traditional underwear, welcome to the sophisticated and ever growing world of men’s pouch underwear.

For men who are not quite sure what to look for when shopping for underwear, here’s a three step rule for choosing pouch underwear for the first time.

How to choose underwear with a pouch

STEP 1. DECIDE WHICH STYLE YOU NEED. If you have trouble deciding what underwear to wear throughout your week. You can follow this simple rule when choose your style: 1) Use midcut styles when wearing jeans. 2) Wear a boxer for dress pants. 3) Wear a thong for sweatpants or shorts.

Midcuts are great for cold climates, where you need more than average coverage. If you also happen to chafe often because of your daily activity or because you have wide thighs, you should get a midcut.

You should also check this mini-guide for choosing underwear based on your body type:

1. Pick a mini boxer if you have an apple-shaped body
2. Choose a midcut if your body type is pear-shaped, meaning a smaller upper body compared to broader hips and thighs.
3. If you have a slim body, you can wear almost any style, except the baggy undies. A great choice is the mini boxer.
4. Get a bikini if you're short. This will make your legs look longer.
5. If you are tall, opt for a midcut style. This will give a more aesthetic look to your physique.
6. Finally, if you've got an athletic build, thank your genes, and choose any style you want. You probably look great with or without any clothes at all! ;)
7. Now, for the average guy, opt for fitted underwear. You might want to be more risqué and try a bikini or even a jockstrap for a change. Both great for intense physical activities.

STEP 2. SELECT YOUR DESIRED POUCH. Once you've made up your mind about your underwear style, you have to think about what type of pouch do you need. Ergowear currently develops two main pouch shapes. Nose-shaped or adaptable pouch.

The nose-shaped pouch consists of a profiled, three-dimensional bulge that’s elastic, with an up-and-out lift and vertical stitchings along the pouch. Ergowear MAX and X3D pouches fit this pouch shape.

The second pouch style is FEEL, a seamless and adaptable pouch. FEEL gives you more than enough room to point your anatomy anyway you want, either front, sideways or pointing up. There are two variants of FEEL, one with a thick waistband and one with a thin low-cut waistband that creates a hammock style.

Another important feature when selecting one of our pouches is the depth that you’re looking for. Out of all Ergowear style, X3D is the one with the lowest depth range, but probably the most supportive. While MAX is the one that provides the most variety of materials.

STEP 3. CHOOSE THE OPTIMAL FABRIC. Since underwear is usually washed after every use, and its use often involves lots of sweat after all-day use, it makes sense to wear underwear designed to last longer, be moisture wicking, and that doesn't shrink!

Theres nothing worse than buying anatomically correct pouch underwear made of cotton to suddenly realize it has shrunken after the first wash!

Ergowear offers a variety of non-pure cotton fabrics including: Polyester-Spandex, Polyamide-Spandex Microfiber, Cotton-Spandex, Modal-Spandex, and Polyester-Spandex Mesh.
