When we talk about men's health , we often think of nutrition, exercise, or sleep. But did you know that your underwear also plays a key role in your daily well-being , and can even have an impact on male fertility and the prevention of pain such as testicular torsion or inguinal hernia ? At AKINOM, we take a close interest in these topics to design models that support you, including during periods of convalescence.
Why Men's Intimate Health Deserves More Attention
Intimate comfort is a topic too often overlooked. However, the choice of underwear affects blood circulation, thermoregulation, and posture. Studies show that underwear that is too tight or poorly designed can increase the risk of testicular problems , especially during intense or prolonged physical activity.
At AKINOM, we have chosen not to neglect these details. Our collections have been designed to offer optimal daily comfort , while respecting the male anatomy.
Testicular torsion, inguinal hernia: how underwear can help
Testicular torsion is a medical emergency that primarily affects adolescents and young adults. It is sometimes caused by poor support or prolonged wearing of unsuitable underwear. Similarly, an inguinal hernia can be aggravated by repeated physical exertion, not accompanied by appropriate clothing.
Wearing well-fitting underwear with an anatomical support zone like our FrontNest® system helps limit friction, maintain the natural position of the testicles, and thus prevent certain discomforts. It is also an excellent ally in the post-operative or convalescence phase.
Materials that respect your privacy
Raw materials are essential: cotton, lyocell, elastane... All our pieces are designed from fabrics tested for their softness, their ability to breathe and wick away moisture, while guaranteeing a support without compression. The black PREMIUM Boxer model is a good example.
Underwear and male fertility: a relationship not to be neglected
Male fertility can be influenced by multiple factors, including testicular temperature. However, tight-fitting or synthetic underwear can cause local overheating, which is detrimental to sperm production. Proper underwear helps maintain a stable temperature by allowing this sensitive area to breathe.
Urologists recommend avoiding tight briefs and opting for ergonomic cuts. This is exactly what we offer with our soft-waistband boxers and briefs, which fit the body without restricting it.
Daily comfort: a lever for overall well-being
Good underwear is also a matter of confidence. No longer having to readjust your waistband, no longer feeling discomfort in your crotch, being able to walk, run, or work freely: it's a real relief, especially when you're going through a difficult time.
Our customers often tell us that wearing AKINOM boxers makes you “forget you're wearing anything.” This is precisely the desired effect. By carefully crafting the cuts, seams, and finishes, we aim to offer you this extra touch of well-being every day.

And in case of convalescence?
Following surgery, injury, or treatment, the choice of underwear becomes strategic. It must support without compressing, and protect without irritating. The PREMIUM line of crotch-lined boxers perfectly meet these criteria, while providing softness and support. A wise choice to discreetly support your recovery.
