The Practice of Underwear

The purchase of a body knit, a skin vest or a slip is hardly a profitable investment for a wardrobe. Even if the prices practiced by the stylists are sometimes pretty. Moreover, for a high sum, we get an original cut and an exclusive brand, but the quality is not above average.

Underwear manufacturers are not very numerous and different brands are sometimes made in one place. In the same price range, the materials used and the manufacturing techniques are very close.

When buying an undergarment, you must rely on your own experience. If we realize that a boxer type 'floating' we do not really like, it goes without saying that we will choose a tighter model. If you think that a T-shirt worn under a shirt or pullover accumulates too much textile in the armpits, a deeply indented body vest will do better.

In the onslaught of fancy briefs on the market, many attracted the eye but did not fit the body. In most cases, the fabric gave way to the fly, so that there was very little left to sit. The good quality boxer shorts have a very wide ('pelvis' in terms of sewing) and are particularly flexible, whether woven or knitted.

The string revolutionized the world of men's underwear in the 80s and 90s. At first, favored by women, the string was later declined for men. The string is a style of male underwear that lies between masculinity and femininity. It consists of a pocket at the front, a thin belt and a string between the buttocks. The men thongs allow maintaining the genitals as well as a slip or shorty with a minimum of tissue. They have the advantage of avoiding to see the seams under white or beige pants.

One can please a third by offering him an underwear printed with cartoons, slogans, a photo of a tiger, carved in thick leather or a transparent material. But for personal and more ordinary use it is better to choose a good quality. For those who want to forget the 'fancy and freaky underwear', just make sure that the fabric is soft, soft to the touch and as much as possible made of natural fibers. Pure-cotton, pure-wool and pure-silk underwear and underpants are found, but the most common ones are those mixed with synthetic materials designed to preserve a good fit, able to withstand several washes and provided with good elasticity. Never choose a mixture in which the percentage of synthetic material is too high unless you can not tell the difference between a swimsuit 100% polyamide, nylon or lycra and a jersey made of natural material. In Europe, preference is given to cotton (mixed with a little synthetic for elasticity).

The silk rarely is worn mainly by the privileged and wool is mainly reserved for cold weather.

We rarely wear an undergarment for more than a day. For this reason, manufacturers ensure that the materials used support easy and frequent washing. Some shirts, such as those with a rubber stamp (rubber prints), catch the eye, have fun, but are hardly practical to the extent that it is impossible to clean them yourself.

It is better to buy some loose underwear. If they are too tight, they are visible. Thus some men, by walking their hands in the pockets of their pants, stretch the fabric and give - involuntarily probably - the illusion that they have two pairs of buttocks.
