Slip Balance S Black

Slip Balance S Black 🩲

A brief in stretchy material sits close, and all the comfort hangs on that: the pouch at the front has to hold without constricting, and the waistband has to sit without cutting in. Neither shows when trying it on but after two hours sitting down; that is the test no mirror replaces. The fabric of 95 % polyamide and 5 % elastane has two sides. The pleasant one: it is thin, stretches in every direction and moves with you instead of pulling; after washing it dries quickly. The other: man-made fibre breathes less well than cotton and takes on odour more readily. For an evening that does not matter, for twelve hours on an office chair it does. This is underwear worn because it appeals, not because it is the most sensible choice for everyday. The piece comes from Anais Men, a label that deliberately treats men's underwear as lingerie. This version has a check pattern of grey and black lines, size S. The wide waistband carries the brand lettering. Every size is a separate article: you choose it through the product and not in the basket, and many ranges also come as a matching top in the same pattern. It sits under men's lingerie, under lingerie and in our Anais Men collection section.

❓ FAQ

Which size fits?

Lingerie fits differently from maker to maker. With stretchy material the size above is the better choice when in doubt, because one size down does not look tauter but leaves grooves.

How is it washed?

By hand at thirty degrees, without fabric softener, and dried flat. Softener takes the tension out of the elastane and the elastics, and without tension the brief is just fabric.

How does a brief differ from boxers?

The brief has no leg sections, so the thighs stay free. If you want more fabric on the leg, you will find boxers and other cuts under lingerie.

How is it stored?

Loosely folded in a drawer, not stretched over hangers or clips. The waistband and elastics go slack when they lie permanently stretched.
