It’s all about the (underwear) pouch
Finding the right fit for you
The fit of the pouch in any given pair of underwear is certainly subjective and also a very personal opinion in some cases but there are some basic trends I’ve noted while reviewing such a broad range of underwear and I thought I’d provide some guidance to better allow you to pick what underwear might be the best fit for you. Every designer has made a choice to measure out the pouch design to a certain specification and this fit category can be consistent across an entire line such as Unico or range a lot as with Pulse Underwear. To best reflect the overall rankings I’ve added notes under each designer logo for either a “Consistent” pouch fit across the majority of the underwear produced or “Ranges” which means that within the baseline rank there are variances from style to style or cut to cut. I divided the scale into 3 sections covering Roomy, which would be an above-average pouch size, Mid-Range which would be about average and Snug which is tighter or in some cases means no pouch at all. I can’t emphasize how tough it is to rank each label on this scale since there are so many variables. As a result I would consider this a general guideline rather than an absolute rule. I have worn at least 1 pair of underwear from every listed label and in most cases several pairs in different styles to cover the full gamut.








You haven't reviewed anything from Hom! My opinion is that first and foremost underwear ought to be comfortable. Normally I wear nothing but a jockstrap because that's what I find most comfortable, but when I have tried other makes nothing comes close to Hom 'light colours' which has a smooth pouch without seams in it and is VERY stretchy (27% elastane). I also occasionally wear Hom 'long longs' which are supposed to be long underwear but I wear them as tights. (yes, even out in the street!) They too are very comfortable but aren't a close enough fit for me because they are only 10% elastane.
