When I think of a woman wearing men's underwear (which I'll admit, isn't something I think about often), the first thing I think of is Carrie Bradshaw looking super chic in Aidan's tighty-whities while the two of them brushed their teeth together. And let me tell you, Ms. Bradshaw was seriously onto something.
My mom always told me that her marriage mantra was "never wear ugly pajamas in front of your husband." While these days it sounds a little old fashioned, it's something that has always stuck with me and that I've tried to implement into my own life. Since bringing my own pajamas to every adult sleepover started to become a major pain, I learned how to finagle cute bedtime outfits out of what was readily available to me, which most of the time was men's underwear.
But then, a funny thing happened.... I started to love sleeping in men's undies so much that I ordered some for myself.
I know that sounds creepy, but hear me out: It's no secret that sleeping in guy's underwear is a lot more comfortable than sleeping in a thong (take it from someone who has done the experimental research), and they tend to be really soft and cozy. Don't believe me?
Here are seven pairs of men's underwear that you'll want to add to your wardrobe, too.
1. Classic Calvins

If these classic Calvin Klein black boxer briefs are good enough for Bieber, they're definitely good enough for me.
