Choosing Men’s Underwear – How to Buy the Undies Your Bloke Deserves this Christmas

For years, people have scoffed at the idea of socks and undies as a staple holiday gift. Somewhere down the line society decided these necessities weren’t glamourous enough to be pulled from under the tree on a Christmas morning. But once us modern men outgrow the ages where underwear is bought for us by our parents, Christmas, birthdays (and perhaps even some slow Valentines Days) are the ideal opportunity to restock! And it’s not like we’re strapping into some course, Egyptian loincloths anymore. Civilisation has progressed to offer some spectacular designs that leave you wondering why you ever wore anything else. 

So, before you write off this tried-and-true gift this Christmas, Tackle Undies have put together a quick guide on how to buy the perfect pair of men’s underwear. 

Choosing Men’s Underwear on Size

For the sake of common decency and hygiene reasons, underwear isn’t really something you can try on before you buy, and every man knows this can come with danger. Grabbing a size too big will have you walking like John Wayne, and a size too small will have you singing higher than the Christmas choir. If you’re thinking about giving men’s underwear as a gift, ensure – please – to get the sizing right. It isn’t rocket science – review and select a waist size that matches the waist, pick a leg-length that suits, and you’re good to go!

Fabrics - Buy Underwear that’s Good for Him & the Planet

When something is truly good, it's usually good all round. You can buy cheap underwear options that leave rashes and end up torn and ripped on junk heaps somewhere. Or you can decide to let the jingle bells breathe and go with sustainable quality, Bamboo undies. Not the first thing you think of when you hear Bamboo, but it’s the ideal fabric for undies as it is highly renewable, requires less water to manufacture than cotton, and they are incredibly soft and secure, leaving a breathable, snug fit for the happy customer inside.
