Which men's underwear is right for you? How to choose the right model

Boxer briefs, briefs, or thongs? Choosing the right underwear might seem simple, but fit, material, and when you wear it all make a difference.

At SET, you'll find various styles of men's underwear. In this blog, we explain the main differences so you can more easily choose your favorite style.

Boxer briefs: versatile and comfortable

Boxer briefs are the most versatile choice for many men. The snug fit offers support, and the legs provide extra coverage.

Within the SET collection, you'll find different lengths, materials, and designs, from classic microfiber models to sporty and striking prints.

Snug-fitting boxer briefs are also comfortable under trousers because the smooth fabric stays neatly in place.

Ideal for: daily wear, work, travel, and sports.

Briefs: maximum freedom of movement

Briefs have no legs, leaving more of the upper thigh free. This gives a lot of freedom of movement and makes briefs a practical choice when you want to wear as little fabric as possible.

Good briefs offer support where needed, while your legs remain completely free.

Ideal for: daily wear, sports, and under tighter clothing.

Thongs: minimal and comfortable

A thong is the most minimalistic option within the collection. There is little fabric, giving you maximum freedom of movement, and the underwear is barely visible under clothing.

Although a thong might not be the first choice for everyone, it can be surprisingly comfortable once you get used to this style.

Ideal for: minimal coverage, tight clothing, and those who like variety.

Which material suits you?

Besides the style, the material also plays an important role.

Microfiber is lightweight, elastic, and quick-drying. This makes it a popular choice for daily wear, sports, and travel.

Cotton feels different and has its own properties. Therefore, SET offers various materials and designs within the collection.

And what size do you need?

The right fit naturally starts with the right size. Underwear that is too small can pinch, while a size too large won't fit well.
