When you think of spandex, you likely think of a tight material that accentuates your body. Underwear For Men uses high technology fabrics designed to suit a man's needs. From the selection of moisture-wicking materials to adding a fabric that can be washed with ease, Underwear For Men suits every guy. We considered the needs of a man, the common issues men face, and the popularity of certain designs in the selection of our men's underwear materials. Our adjustable pouch boxer briefs include a small percentage of spandex in their construction. Spandex provides a number of advantages to suit a man, whether he is wearing our brand for sport, everyday, medical, or work purposes.
Spandex, aka Elastane, Does Not Stretch Out
Spandex is a synthetic fiber known for its exceptional elasticity. Our boxer briefs and briefs are comprised of polyester and elastane. Elastane is able to withstand a considerable amount of wear and washing without losing its strongest properties. Spandex holds everything in place so your manhood isn't jostled and moved around when you go about your day. We place all of our men's underwear into categories for use: work, sport, medical, and everyday. We encourage you to wear these high performing pouch underwear for things like:
- Exercising and Working Out
- Running Errands
- Spending Time with Your Family and Friends
- Relaxing and Watching TV
- Sleeping
- Going to Work and School
- Enjoying Your Favorite Hobbies
- Swimming or Going to The Beach
- Traveling
- Recovering from a Surgical Procedure
We wanted Underwear For Men to always maintain its original structure throughout the day and after washing. After careful consideration, spandex was selected as a component of the boxer brief design. You get a sporty feel, a good shape, and a comfortable fit that doesn't lose functionality in the long-run. Boxer briefs from UFM won't stretch out!
Other Benefits of Spandex
Nearly every innovative fashion company in the United States makes use of spandex in at least some of its products. Spandex provides a number of advantages to the wearer. We saw an advantage to adding this fabric to our men's underwear for men that need high performing underwear. Even if you aren't actively working out, it is likely you still need a moisture wicking fabric to keep you cool. It is important to note that you should not wash spandex with chlorine bleach. Briefs and boxer briefs from UFM that are made from spandex/elastane come with every benefit of this fabric including:
- Feeling Lightweight Against Your Legs and Skin
- Retaining Its Original Shape With Washing and Wearing
- Resistance to Abrasion, Pilling, and Static Electricity
- Being Stronger Than A Number of Other Fabrics While Still Remaining Thin
- Resistance to Body Oils and Sweat That Occurs During Working Out and Exercise
- No Staining from Lotions and Detergents
Spandex Versus Cotton
How does spandex/elastane compare to cotton? Cotton is a very soft to touch, and a soft material structurally. It can easily be stretched out and won't shrink back to its original form. Further, cotton will break down from constant abrasion from pants, legs and movement. Further, cotton is bulky and retains heat - it is not designed for athletic uses. Currently, Underwear For Men does not use cotton in any of its products. In order to mimic the feel you get from wearing cotton, we now offer viscose (bamboo) men's underwear.
