Saying goodbye to special underwear.

Several years ago, I needed some underwear. This was before I would consider buying underwear online, so I went to the store and bought a couple of packages, one from a brand called Covington and one from Polo.

Buying underwear is always a bit of an adventure, because you can't exactly try them on. So I went home and the next day when it was time to shower, I broke them out of their package, and a love affair was born.

They were the perfect underwear, just perfect. The material was soft, yet stylish. The waistband was just snug enough that it did its job perfectly, yet I never felt it. At the end of the day, I didn't have any unsightly indents in my waist, or chafing at my hips. And the front created the perfect pouch that not only felt comfortable, but it somehow seemed to ... ahem ... "enhance" the apparent size of what it was protecting. They really made a man feel confident at the doctor's office.

I loved that underwear. Both brands. They were my A-team underwear for running races, for travel, for those long airport days where you didn't want anything riding up or sliding down. I've purchased other underwear in the ensuing years that is perfectly comfortable, but never underwear that has become a part of me like my beloved Covington and Polo collections. I've tried to find new versions in recent years, but styles have changed and waistbands have changed, and I can't seem to find that perfect style.

But alas, the saddest thing about underwear is that its life span is shorter than ours. One by one the elastic has gone out, or the material has worn off to the extent that it can no longer pass the paramedic test if I was in an accident.

I've lost a Polo and a Covington in the last month, sadly giving them a final salute before gingerly placing them into the trash receptacle. My team is dwindling, and it will only accelerate. So I'm here today to tell you, if you have a great pair of underwear, appreciate it, because you won't be together forever.

Flatus from my flaming hot chili will burn through anything not made of asbestos so I stick with the cheap ones. Having the same underwear for 5 years would deprive me of so much variety in life.

Okay, review of the Pair of Thieves Megasoft Mr. Pool model. They arrived yesterday and I gave them their inaugural run today.

Sizing - running a little small, which I was afraid of. That lowers their comfort factor slightly, though they're still satisfactory. I hope they don't draw up, because that could be a problem. However, I don't think their material will really do that.

Waistband - doesn't seem to be leaving skin divots in my waist, though I'll know more tonight when I go to bed.

Flattery - tends to position the goods more toward sleek than bulging. I strongly prefer bulging. I have to knock some points off for that.

Material - lives up to the megasoft name. It's some material that's a bit more ... metrosexual ... than classic cotton, but it's quite comfortable.

Overall, I'd give it a score of 83 out of 100. Quite satisfactory.

Boxer-Briefs are where it's at. I wear the usual name brand stuff. Nike, Adidas, UA etc.

I've recently discovered the boxer briefs with the 9" inseam.

Best underwear design ever. I absolutely hate when im working out or playing sports and my shorts ride up, exposing my hairy legs (but sexy) legs. The extra long inseam is great for that.

Speaking of Mahomes, is he endorsing any underwear yet?

What on earth? I just ordered a pair for my testing - one pair - and it cost $46.75. That's like 30 liters of Dr. Pepper!
