Sizes of men's underpants: what are they and how to choose?

About 30 years ago, men's underwear did not enjoy the public's attention. Then only women's kits were interesting. But today the picture has changed radically. The modern industry of men's underwear is replete with a variety of boxers, swimming trunks and family men, made in a variety of styles and colors. Even famous athletes began to create stylish collections of men's underpants for every fashion season.

Men's underwear is an indispensable part of the wardrobe of any representative of the stronger sex. Today fashion designers have compiled several systems for determining the size of men's underwear... Moreover, each of them has specific standards.

In this case, the dimension is determined by the letters S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL and further according to the increase.

This option assumes the use of numbers from 1 to 10 or from 40 to 58.

The most common method of determining the size, using only numbers from 42 to 60. By the way, other types of clothing are also chosen according to it.

The main snag when buying men's underwear arises when choosing a product from a foreign manufacturer. After all, each manufacturer uses a certain dimensional system. This means that the size indicators change, which is why the purchased swimming trunks may not fit.

In the process of acquiring your favorite panties a man should be guided by several important indicators, namely waist circumference and troubleR.

When buying underwear, a man should be able to match his size with European indicators. There is a special table on the packaging with swimming trunks, where all the designations are detailed. It is enough just to find your digital size to reveal the alphabetic parameter.

When buying foreign-made men's underwear, almost all consumers are lost in the selection of the appropriate size. However, it is very easy to determine the American or European indicator. It is enough just to know the exact size corresponding to the Russian standard, and then select the required line in the table, where the exact dimension data will be indicated.

Further, it is proposed to get acquainted with the table, which offers a detailed decoding.

• A special measuring tape is required to measure the lumbar region. With its help, it will be possible to determine the exact size of the circle on the belt, more precisely, where the elastic of the swimming trunks should be located. If the purchased underpants are larger in the waist, the product will not fit snugly on it, which will cause the man to experience constant discomfort. If the swimming trunks are smaller, the elastic will simply press and rub the delicate skin.
• When measuring thighs, a man must decide on his own preferences regarding underwear. Some people like tight-fitting models, others prefer a loose family cut. When measuring free swimming trunks, it is necessary to add 1-2 cm to the obtained indicators.

In principle, everything is clear with the dimensional standards of Russian manufacturers. European indicators are slightly different from the domestic dimensional grid.and. For example, if a man has a Russian size of 54, then the European figure will be 48. Russian 46 corresponds to the European 40.

With international indicators, it is somewhat more complicated. They are indicated in literal meaning, although they are located in the same line with European and Russian indicators. For example, you can take 50 European size and slide your finger along the line with this indicator to the very end. The letters "XXXXL" or "4XL" are international size 50s. And for the Russian 52 corresponds to the international value "XXL".

But in practice, everything turns out a little differently. When buying live, men are not always guided by the table, which is why they run the risk of getting large or small panties. And buying from an online store, in principle, does not make it possible to determine the appropriate size. Moreover, each manufacturer uses the most acceptable size grid, which is why men are confused.

Everyone knows that when buying men's swimming trunks, you need to be extremely careful. After all it is this wardrobe item that cannot be returned or exchanged. And it is completely forbidden to try on men's swimming trunks, even if the purchase process takes place in a branded boutique.

In order not to be mistaken with the size, sales consultants help to make measurements, on the basis of which the appropriate models are selected. However, it is very rare for men to shop for lingerie. Most often, a much-needed piece of clothing is bought by their mothers or wives.

The easiest and easiest way to determine the size of your swim trunks is to look at the label of the perfectly fitting underpants. However, this option is not always reliable, especially if the underwear is not purchased from a specialized department, but from an inconspicuous store on the market.

At the same time, the tight-fitting style of swimming trunks requires accuracy, and for free models, a few centimeters must be added to the measured indicator.

After obtaining the indicators, you can refer to the dimensional grid, determine the appropriate line and find a row with the data of the dimension grid of interest.

It is very difficult for men to choose good and high-quality underwear of the appropriate size on their own. And if they can still guess with the fit, then the question of determining the style of the panties confuses them. Representatives of the sterner sex with a lean physique should not choose wide models of swimming trunks, for example, loose boxers or family members. In them, the legs will look like bell tongues. Trunks are worth considering for such men. They perfectly fit the figure, emphasize advantages and hide flaws.

Besides, height plays an important role in choosing the right model of men's swimming trunks... Guys below 180 cm should not opt ​​for shorts with a lot of fabric in the hip area. Such swimming trunks visually reduce the already low growth of their owner. But reefs in this case will be the most successful option.

Tall guys should avoid petite models of underpants. Otherwise, the stronger sex will seem like a giant.To prevent this from happening, you need to choose trunks or boxers.

Another thing - if the representative of the stronger sex is actually a man of impressive size... It is these men who do not like to draw attention to themselves, they prefer modesty in any area of ​​life, including clothing. Just for such guys, designers offer Slim Fit boxers.

Otherwise, in these places, swimming trunks will rub the delicate skin, causing not just discomfort, but painful sensations. The elastic of quality panties should be elastic.

Men's swimming trunks are an important piece of clothing in the intimate area. This means that the fabric used for sewing men's underpants should be soft and delicate. The composition of the material can be read on a small label. If it is absent, you can be sure that the inspected model is a low-quality product of unknown origin. Under such conditions, one cannot even think about purchasing the chosen model, it is better to spend a little more time and buy an original product.

When choosing a comfortable cut, it is extremely important to consider what kind of casual clothes a man prefers to wear. Otherwise a representative of the stronger sex can appear in front of others in an indecent form... For example, boxers under tight pants. This is ugly and inconvenient.

Every man should be able to choose the right size. In no case should the swimming trunks be more or less, otherwise the representative of the stronger sex will either lose underwear or rub the delicate skin.

Having found a suitable model of panties that matches your physique, lifestyle and wardrobe, it is best to purchase several pairs of different colors at once. Thus, the man will be ready for any situation, for example, to go to a club or to a gala evening. After all, even the color of the underwear largely characterizes its owner.
