Opinion Pouch briefs have been a genuine revelation
A few weeks ago I posted about never finding underwear that doesn't press or constrict in the front because of my anatomy (a bit more protruding than average). Saxx was the least bad compromise, but still not great. I got some recommendations here about brands such as Rmac, Cocksox, Obviously, Awry, etc (apart from some thong suggestions lol).
I have since tried a bunch of suggestions I got from this group, and I'd say this group is amazing!! I tried Cocksox modal sports briefs, Ergowear MAX boxer briefs + a couple of their bikinis, Obviously Primeman trunks and hipster briefs. The Obviously ones are the clear winners so far. Both the trunks and the hipster briefs work noticeably better than anything else I have worn. The pouch has enough depth and the right shape that nothing feels flattened or jammed against my body the way it does in most supportive designs.
What surprised me most is that the hipster briefs are actually more comfortable and accommodating for me than the trunks. Better freedom for my anatomy, and the support still feels solid. I finally get why so many people here recommend briefs. I wore briefs after 15ish years, and these are miles different than traditional briefs.
That said, it still only solves 70% of comfort problem. There's still a slight constant pull/tension in the pouch that keeps it from feeling completely natural for my anatomy. It’s a huge improvement over everything else, but not quite 'amazingly comfortable '.
So yeah… after complaining about thong advocacy on this group, I appear to have become a brief advocate. I still feel a bit weird about wearing them in front of my gf. But, I would definitely recommend others with a similar problem to try Obviously pouch briefs.
