Unreal Underwear Myths Unmasked

Myths Busted in This Guide
Myth: Tight Underwear Increases Fertility
Truth: Super Tight ≠ Super Sperm
Sorry, but tighty-whities won't give you super sperm. While it's true that excessively tight underwear can raise the temperature of your testicles, potentially impacting sperm production, it's unlikely to make a significant difference unless you're wearing something truly constricting 24/7.
Your best bet for optimal fertility is a balanced diet, regular exercise, and, yes, comfortable underwear.
"Wear audacious underwear under the most solemn business attire."
- H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Myth: Going Commando Is Healthier
Truth: Please put on some underwear
We get it; the thought of letting it all hang free might be tempting. However, going commando isn't necessarily healthier. Your underwear serves a purpose beyond modesty; it provides support and helps wick away moisture, preventing irritation and chafing.
So, unless you're a die-hard commando enthusiast, we recommend sticking with your favorite Drawlz for a healthier, more comfortable crotch.
“Men want the same thing from their underwear that they want from women: a little bit of support, and a little bit of freedom.”
- Jerry Seinfeld
Myth: All Fabrics Are Created Equal
Truth: Different activities call for different fabrics
Cotton underwear may be comfortable and versatile enough for everyday wear, but it's not your only option. Micro modal, for example, offers a silky, breathable alternative that's perfect for sedentary careers, lounging around, or intimate moments.
Or, if you lead a more active lifestyle or have a more active career, your best bet is lightweight, fast-drying nylon boxer briefs.
Whatever your day or lifestyle calls for, the key is to choose underwear made from high-quality fabrics that wick moisture away, prevent odors, and feel great against your skin - something every pair of Drawlz boxer briefs has in common.
“This morning when I put on my underwear I could hear the fruit-of-the-loom guys laughing at me.”
- Rodney Dangerfield
Myth: Your Underwear Will Last Forever
Truth: When your underwear gets riddled with holes, toss ‘em
Hate to break it to you, but even the best-quality underwear won't last forever. Over time, elastic wears out, fabrics break down, and colors fade. It's essential to refresh your underwear drawer regularly.
There’s nothing wrong with treating yourself to some new, stylish, and comfortable Drawlz boxer briefs once in a while, especially if your old underwear has got to go!
“Passwords are like underwear: you don’t let people see it, you should change it very often, and you shouldn’t share it with strangers.”
- Chris Pirillo
Myth: Underwear Size Doesn't Matter
Truth: In this case, size does matter
There’s no “motion of the ocean” BS when it comes to your underwear size. Size definitely matters when it comes to underwear. Wearing the wrong size can lead to discomfort, chafing, and even visible lines under your clothes. Take the time to measure yourself and find the perfect underwear size. Trust me; it makes a world of difference in how you feel and look.
“Humility is like underwear; essential, but indecent if it shows.”
- Helen Nielsen
