It is clearly represented by its Y-shaped design, elastic waist bands, full frontal coverage from waist to upper thighs as well as buttocks coverage. Because briefs are designed to fit snugly around the crotch area, it provides good support for your genitals.

An illustration below:
BoxersTraditionally, men has been wearing boxers as their underwear. However, over time it lost its appeal during the 1970s when more colorful briefs were introduced during that era.

It has been argued that the roomy characteristic of the boxer allows men to have better sperm production because it does not increase the heat around the testicles. Due to the above reasons, it is not suitable to be worn as part of sports wear. It should also fit better with apparel with a loose fit. When worn against slim fitting mens clothing, the excess fabric of the boxers might make the slim fit apparel less appealing and less sharp as originally intended. Boxer BriefsThese are fusion between boxers and briefs where they were widely promoted during the 1990s and gain popularity during the turn of century. The interesting part about boxer briefs is that they are much tighter than boxers just like the fit of a brief and yet retains the length (from waist to thigh) of a boxer.
An attraction to these mens underwear is the good fit it provides around the lower trunk. Athletes and those who has a lot of physical activities will like boxer briefs for this reason. In addition, there is a sub-category known as trunks where they slightly shorter around the thigh area and resembles a swimwear as shown below.
Bikini BriefsThese are the newer range of mens underwear and a lot skimpier. Generally these briefs have very slim side waistbands of about 2 inches. There is another version known as string bikini briefs where the waistband is about 1/2 inch wide that exposes most of your thigh. These two types of bikini briefs rest much lower below the waist with an estimate of about 4 inches.
ThongsThese are the skimpiest of the whole of mens underwear. It still relies on slim waistbands like string bikini briefs. The back would actually have no coverage where a middle strap will run inbetween the buttocks. The genitals are actually resting within a pouch. The thongs for men would look really good in men with a well-built body and most importantly a pair of firm tight buttocks.
