Choosing men's underwear may seem like a simple task, but with so many options on the market, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. In this comprehensive guide, we reveal the secrets to finding the perfect pair of underwear that combines comfort, style, and functionality.

Understanding your size

The crucial starting point for finding the perfect men's underwear is to know your exact size , and especially to recognize the signs of briefs or boxers that don't fit you! The waistband is too loose, the fabric too far from your skin, it's too big! Conversely, the waistband must not leave a mark under the skin.

Quality materials

Opt for underwear made from high-quality materials. The best option is to use mesh made from natural fibers such as modal and cotton , which offer exceptional comfort all day long. A simple way to know if the fabric is not harmful is to check if the product has an environmental certification such as Oeko Tex .

Choosing the ally of your activities

Your choice of underwear can also depend on your daily activities. Whether you are a businessman always on the move or a sports enthusiast, an ergonomic pouch like FrontNest® by Akinom present in all our underwear allows to meet all lifestyles.

By following this guide, you are now equipped to choose the perfect men's underwear that fits your needs. Explore our collection of men's underwear, known for their anatomical pouch, comfort and chic , minimalist style.

Where are the products manufactured?

Our products are manufactured in Portugal in workshops on a human scale. Manufacturing includes the production of the raw material but also assembly and packaging. At Akinom, we wanted to favor a short circuit between the different manufacturing players to limit our impact on this key moment in the product's life.

What is the difference between ESSENTIEL and BASICOLOR?

ESSENTIEL boxers and briefs have a waistband with exposed elastic, while the BASICOLOR waistband is covered with the same mesh as the rest of the underwear. The cut and Front Nest system are the same. However, the ESSENTIEL waistband, which is not covered, will have slightly greater elasticity than the BASICOLOR waistband.

How do the products fit?

Generally at Akinom, sizes are adjusted, if you hesitate between two sizes, we advise you to take the larger size. Our size guide can serve as an indicator, if doubt persists, contact us hello@akinom.com.

Our underwear is all available from S to 3XL, some from XS to 5XL, however, some sizes may occasionally be out of stock while waiting for restocking.

Our socks are available from 39 to 46

Product availability

To know when a product will be back in stock, you can create an alert to be notified as soon as it is restocked ;)

Where can I drop off my end-of-life underwear?

There are more than 46,000 drop-off points in France. There is bound to be one near you! To find the nearest one, click here: https://refashion.fr/citoyen/fr/point-dapport

What is the difference between boxers and briefs?

The terms "boxer briefs" and "boxer shorts" are often used interchangeably, but they generally refer to two distinct types of men's underwear. Here are the main differences between boxer briefs and boxer shorts:

Boxer shorts are loose, wide underwear that cover a significant portion of the thighs. They have a cut similar to shorts, with a gathered elastic waistband. Boxers are more fitted and have a close-fitting cut. They usually cover a smaller portion of the thigh than boxer shorts and have a flat waistband.

Today, boxer shorts are often chosen for comfort and freedom of movement, with many men preferring them for sleep or casual activities. Boxers are often chosen for their tighter fit, which can be preferable under more fitted clothing.

How to know your men's underwear size?

It is important to know your underwear size, however, sizes vary depending on the brand and sometimes even depending on the model. It is best to always consult the size guide offered by the brands. So before you pay, measure your waistline with a tape measure!
