Underwear is the most widely used men's garment today.
Its expansion began during the Industrial Revolution, and from then on, it started to be mass-produced using industrial methods. This doesn't mean that during the Middle Ages and earlier times no similar garments were used, but they were more basic and austere, and were usually made within the family unit.
Today, with new materials entering the market and the technology available to us, along with the fashion factor, it is the models, fabrics, textures, colors, and patterns that have completely revolutionized the way we dress, and underwear is no exception.
In this regard, men's underwear has also experienced these advancements.
The main function of underwear is to support and protect the male genital area. It has been proven that the testicular area is cooler than the rest of the body to allow for a higher quality and quantity of sperm. Therefore, it is important for underwear to keep this area ventilated and fresh, without compressing it, and to absorb any excess moisture.
Have we ever asked ourselves the simple question:
"How many hours a day do I wear underwear?"
The answer is many. There are people who wear it 24 hours a day, making it an inseparable companion in all our daily activities. Hence the importance of knowing how to choose the one that suits us best.
In the market, we can find three clearly differentiated types of men's underwear: Slip, Shorty, and Boxer. But which one is the ideal one? The answer lies in knowing how to choose the one in which a person feels most comfortable and has the greatest freedom of movement. The activity to be carried out at any given moment must also be taken into account (sitting in an office is not the same as playing sports).
The Slip (brief) is a tight-fitting garment without legs. It protects the testicular area very well, making it ideal for sports or for those who want to wear it as a supportive base.
The Shorty (trunk) is also a tight-fitting garment, but with relatively short legs. Thanks to its design, it allows for a looser fit and less compression in the testicular area. It is ideal for walking or sitting for many hours, whether in the office or driving.
The Boxer is usually a wider garment, with plenty of room, without compressing any area.
What materials do we use to make our underwear?
It is very important to know what materials it is made of, as the comfort of the garment will depend on it. Therefore, the fabric used to make the garment is essential.
Underwear made with top-quality Premium cotton will stand out for its freshness and softness. On the other hand, one made with natural microfiber will be highly moisture-absorbent, thus contributing to the body's breathability.
Do you tend to sweat a lot? Soy fabric will be perfect for you! It is highly absorbent and also has great antibacterial power that prevents the formation of bacteria, which cause body odor. This means you won't have to worry about your scent when, for example, you are playing sports.
When we started manufacturing ZD Zero Defects underwear, we asked ourselves an essential question: "Can we develop a fabric that mimics the elasticity of human skin as much as possible?"
And it is with this question in mind that we craft our signature fabrics, because we believe it is fundamental that this fabric acts as a "second skin."
Another fundamental aspect of wearing the ideal underwear is knowing how to choose the right size, as comfort will partly depend on it.
Our underwear is made with highly elastic fabrics, as explained in the previous paragraph, so it could be said that with three sizes we cover all morphological variations.
However, we manufacture many more sizes, one for every human body measurement. Only in this way can we guarantee the aforementioned points.
It is better to choose a larger size rather than a smaller one, because with a smaller size, all we will achieve is forcing the garment and causing it to deteriorate prematurely, as well as over-compressing these areas of the body.
Our fabrics, models, and size grading are designed so that everyone finds the underwear and size that corresponds to them; only then will they be able to enjoy it all day long.
Don't wait any longer, find your ideal underwear and ENJOY IT!
