Men’s Trunks

In recent times, Men’s trunks have evolved and emerged as the most popular underwear choice for men. They provide a comfortable snug fit and offer more flexibility that distinguishes them from  briefs. Trunks have a longer leg length and snug fit pattern that provides more freedom of movement. This makes them an ideal choice for every day wear. Whether it is a meeting at the office, or a game of golf or lounging around at home, trunks are your best option. 

Different Kinds of Men’s Trunks

Men’s trunks are manufactured in a variety of styles and different fabrics to cater to different needs and preferences. Following are some popular options:

• Materials: Cotton/Modal/Bamboo fabrics are a classic choice because of their inherent moisture wicking and cooling properties. These days, Polyester/Microfiber fabrics are also used  because of their smooth feel. Options are being explored to try other organic fabrics like Hemp to ascertain their feasibility for use in making underwear, however, it is early to comment as of now.
• Length: Men’s Trunks are made in short, medium, and long lengths. Options can also be found as slim-fit or regular fit. One should choose the length and fit that feels most comfortable, stylish and is also appropriate for the clothing worn.
• Styles: There are many choices available in the market, like old time classic solids to contemporary bold printed trunks. In terms of style, there are regular fit or the slim fit ones and low waist or high waist ones. Compression trunks are also available for men who are into sports and intense physical activities.

Men’s Trunks vs. Men’s Briefs:

Trunks:

• Have a longer leg length, mostly extending to mid-thigh.
• These provide more coverage and support around the upper thighs.
• May or may not have a front fly opening.
• Designed in a variety of inseam lengths ranging from 4-8 inches.

Briefs:

• Have a shorter leg length, usually just covering the upper thighs.
• These fit tighter closely hugging the body.
• May or may not have a front fly opening.
• Generally brief inseam is around 1-3 inches.

Coverage and Support:

• Briefs cover less, however fit more closely.

In all, trunks provide more coverage while briefs prioritize a contoured snug fit under clothing. 

Measuring Yourself for a Perfect Fit

A nicely fitting pair of trunks should feel comfortable and supportive without being constricting. The waistband should sit comfortably on your hips, should not dig into the skin and fabric should snugly wrap the legs. It is vital to consider the fabric that suits your skin. Measuring your size correctly to find the right fit is the basic step towards discovering underwear comfort. A measuring guide for Men’s Trunks is given under:

• Step 1: Measure Your Hip Size 

Find the widest part of your hips. Put the measuring tape around this widest part, in a snug way but not too tight. The measurement you get is your hip size.

• Step 2: Measure your Waist Size

Start to measure from the point just around your belly button, around the place where your trouser top sits. Hold the tape and measure your waist size.

• • Step 3: Refer to Under The Sun’s size chart to find the correct size as per your measurements.

Men’s Trunks FAQ’s: 

1. What are male trunks?

Trunks are a type of men’s underwear with a longer leg length than briefs. These cover more leg area and offer a comparatively relaxed fit, providing better comfort and flexibility.

2. What amongst trunks or briefs is better?

It depends on your personal choice or preference. Briefs cover lesser area, offer a more snug fit and relatively better support, while trunks provide more coverage and flexibility. Please consider your personal preference and choose the most comfortable option for yourself. Mostly, men have a combination of both, trunks and briefs in their drawers. 

3. Are trunks tighter than boxers?

Trunks have a more fitted form than boxers. Boxers are  loose-fitting underwear or lounge wear which are designed to be loose and free flowing. Boxers are not the right choice for intense physical activities like sports and workouts as they do not offer adequate support which is vital for such activities.

Men’s trunks are very versatile. These are a good choice for everyday wear and suited for most kinds of activities.

Trunks are well suited to be worn under all kinds of clothes as these are very versatile. They are a wonderful fit for everyday office wear or an evening at the bar or simply lounging at home. 

6. How are trunks supposed to fit?

A well-fitting trunk gently hugs your thighs and provides good support without being restrictive. The waistband of a trunk should sit comfortably on your waist and not dig into the skin to leave marks. The fitting at the legs should not be too loose or too tight. A nicely fitted trunk does not bunch up or ride up, stays firmly at its place. 

7. Can I wear trunks as sleepwear?

Absolutely yes. Trunks can be worn as sleepwear. However, one should restrict to organic materials like cotton and modal while sleeping as these are breathable materials.

8. Can I wear trunks while swimming?

No, trunks are neither made for nor meant for swimming. Some trunks look the same as swimwear, however, that is just the appearance. Underwear Trunks are usually made from cotton or other breathable fabrics which are not ideal for swimming. For the purpose of swimming, one must always wear swimming trunks specifically designed for pool or beach use. Swimming trunks are made from water-resistant materials like nylon or polyester that dry quickly and thus better suited for water related activities.

9. Which are the most comfortable trunks for men?

Comfort is a subjective term and there isn’t a singular answer to this question. However, trunks made from breathable fabrics like cotton or moisture-wicking micro modal or bamboo have natural moisture wicking properties and are a more preferred option.
