Very often, feeling confident and self-assured comes down to what we’re wearing and, while you might not have considered this before, your choice of men’s colourful underwear could actually be having a big impact on both your mood and your self-esteem.

You need to feel comfortable in what you’re wearing and underwear, if it is ill-fitting, can very quickly become a very real source of irritation, ruining your entire day. This is why it’s so important to make sure that you’re choosing the right kind of style to suit your body shape, so you can stay in a good mood and feel good about yourself, at the same time.

If you have a smaller frame, you may find that trunks are the most comfortable option for you, with a snug fit and a y-shaped front. They allow you to wear anything you like on top and won’t cause any discomfort if you prefer to wear tight trousers.

Those of you who lead a very active lifestyle, however, might prefer to go for some briefs, which are a little bit like jockstraps – but a lot less revealing! They can give you all the support and comfort you need while training and they usually have a larger waistband that sits on the hips, so may not be the best option for anyone with girth around the middle.

And then, of course, there are boxer shorts, a very popular option for anyone who wants a bit of room downstairs. If you have a larger build, boxers will help keep you comfortable and well supported.

All you need to do is experiment with some different styles to find what works for you.
