Boxers or Briefs?

I can't say that I've been hankering for a new pair of briefs as of late but when Nancy asked if I had any interest in buying a pair of underwear from Tommy John's it piqued my curiosity. I've always gotten a bit of a chuckle out of their radio ads that promised to "nestle your goods" like nothing else on the market. Who can resist that kind of offer? Well, I said, let's look online and see what they have to offer. I'm not accustomed to choosing anything but style and size and my purchases typically come in the color white and are three to a pack and perhaps more when purchased on sale.
I am if nothing else John Q. Public when it comes to my underwear purchases and I'm a briefs man all the way. Their site had everything under the sun except edibles (who in god's name purchases underwear only to consume them?) so it was a veritable cornucopia of choices which seemed, in a word, tantalizing. I worry sometimes that underwear is a little like music in that my taste in music stopped around 1973. I may be stuck in the seventies as well when it comes to what I like to wear beneath my shorts so maybe it's just time for a change. Enter Tommy John.
If the plan is to build a better mousetrap and, truth be told, that is what Tommy John's is wanting to do with their offerings, then you'd better make sure that your product lives up to the promises made. One of my requirements was that my purchase differ in color than the briefs I already own. No sense in having a drawer full of underwear where you can't distinguish between those that nestle your goods and those that don't. There may well come a day when you feel like being nestled for lack of a better term so it's better to know certain things ahead of time.
I also have no orientation one way or another to fabrics when it comes to underwear. If I had to admit that the cotton briefs I've been wearing all these years nestled anything I might well say that the answer to that question is "no." So much so, in fact, that I was willing to give modal a try. Nancy had to explain to me what modal is precisely and since it is not a variation one way or another on cotton I was reticent but willing to place my order for same.
Now that I have my new underwear I have to say I think I know what it must feel like to wear women's underwear. It's all about the modal, folks. They are snug fitting but smooth to the touch and not confining in the traditional sense of the word. Walking about town I almost thought they gave me a newfound sense of confidence and security that I never experienced even on a good day with my cotton briefs. They are akin to wearing a pair of olympic swim trunks under my shorts and if that doesn't give you a psychic advantage then you may be beyond help.
So far, so good is what I say. I doubt very much that I will scuttle my existing inventory of cotton briefs but their days are clearly numbered thanks to Tommy John. To sweeten the deal, they should offer 3-packs or more and then we can talk. You know what they say - The more things change the more they stay the same.
