Winner: Favorite Briefs
Munsingwear Full Rise Pouch Brief, a plain “tighty-whitey”, received the most votes. (Munsingwear is a division of Perry Ellis) Their unique, horizontal Kangaroo pouch fly gives definition and doesn’t compress a man’s shape. This is why this brief is a classic. It has a flexible leg band and midway rise. At a great value, this brief sizes from a 30″ to 50″ waist size. One reviewer said, “I am currently working at a Combat Operating Base in Baghdad, Iraq, and order underwear often due to the hot climate and limited laundry service. I prefer Munsingwear as it breathes well and is very comfortable.” Hard to find in stores, buy this one online only!
Jocks
C-in2 Bamboo Street Jock wins because it is hands down the most comfortable - made of breathable soft bamboo fabric which is naturally antimicrobial, moisture wicking & deodorizing.

All very respectable choices but there’s a lot more great men’s underwear out there. I think 2(x)ist or N2N should have made the list.
I was just happy C-IN2 had one winner…although my favorite bamboo army trunk did not win the boxer briefs category. I suppose I can’t complain since I did not vote. Did you?
Who are these people that voted this lot in?? they are awfull.
That munsing looks the worst of the lot. It looks saggy, no support and looks like something you would buy at Marks and Spencers.
There is a whole world of good mens underwear out there 1000 x better than this lot.
