It may seem to some that men's underpants are represented by only one, well, a maximum of two types. It is necessary to dispel this misconception, since the types of such underwear today have become no less than women's. Moreover, each guy will be able to choose exactly the look that will be the most convenient and comfortable for him. But how to choose men's underpants? How not to be mistaken in this variety of species?
The word "panties" is translated from French as "rolled up" or "shortened". As everyone knows, in ancient times people did not wear underwear. The ancient Greeks wore absolutely nothing under their togas, because the climate allowed them to be as naked as possible. Therefore, it is believed that the tradition of wearing shorts came from the Romans. However, they did not become the pioneers of this type of underwear. Scientists have confirmed that men's underpants originate from Roman shoes called "calzones". Initially, these were ordinary shoes, then they began to gradually lengthen them. As a result, from the usualshoes came out something like underpants. Since at that time it was customary to wear trousers made of very expensive materials, they began to be used as underwear so as not to spoil the expensive fabric with secretions and sweat. Then the underpants underwent a number of changes, as a result of which they turned into modern men's underpants. To date, such underwear is in no way inferior to women's underwear both in terms of the quality of materials and the variety of styles. If earlier men did not particularly have to choose their underwear, now it has become affordable, and every representative of the strong half of humanity has the opportunity to buy exactly the style that he prefers.
First, let's look at where men's underpants are now produced. Russia is perhaps the first country in the world where the number of manufacturers has increased from one to several thousand. It should be noted that even Russian designers have contributed to the production of men's underpants, giving them sexuality. Thus, not only the usual tight men's underpants, shorts, but also thongs of various styles and shapes became available.
So, which ones can you choose:
-
"Family families". This is perhaps the most relevant style of underwear for young people. It gained popularity back in the days of the USSR, when athletes began to wear them more and more often, since such shorts were very convenient and comfortable. And indeed, this model is the most convenient, because it does not tighten or restrict movements. "Families" are very similar to shorts and sometimeseven replace them if the man is at home.
- Boxers. A peculiar form of tight-fitting "families". These shorts are very comfortable, they can be safely worn under tight jeans. However, they owe their name more to wrestlers than to boxers, as everyone knows that the latter perform in the ring in loose pants.
- Hips. The same boxers, only the waist is slightly reduced, and the length is removed. Looks very aesthetic. They, like all other styles, have a wide variety of shades, so any man can choose hips to his taste.
-
Briefs. It is believed that they appeared in the XVIII century in England. Since the church completely rejected skinny dipping, people had to look for some kind of clothing for this. These were originally knee-to-neck suits, but they weren't very comfortable for swimming, and they were cut down to the size of normal braces with a rather narrow side. Since then, briefs have appeared - men's underwear, very similar in style to swimming trunks.
- Tanga. Extravagant panties. If all of the above species are very popular among the male part of the population, then only a few choose tanga. They represent a loincloth, to which triangles of matter are sewn on both sides. It is believed that such tangas were invented in Brazil, the birthplace of the famous carnivals.
- Thong. Perhaps the most extravagant style. There is practically no fabric in them. There is a small one on the fronta triangle that barely covers a man's dignity, and at the back there is only a rope or a very thin strip of matter.
