GUIDE: FRONT ENHANCING UNDERWEAR FOR MEN
Front enhancing underwear for men can help lift, support and enhance your front bulge! But if you’re looking for a boost to either the shape of your front package or your confidence, where do you start? Enhancing underwear could be the answer! It’s one of the most popular types of mens underwear at the online underwear store VOCLA. However, it’s a confusing area because the different forms of enhancement technology have evolved, creating different options with their own advantages and disadvantages. Whilst the technology differs slightly between each brand, there are effectively three forms of bulge enhancing underwear – remember that we are talking about ‘front’ enhancement here. Enhancing the buttocks requires entirely different technology, mens bum enhancing underwear.
TYPES OF FRONT ENHANCING UNDERWEAR FOR MEN
The three main forms of mens front enhancing underwear are:
1) Padding
2) Push-up systems
3) Pouch design.
Take a look at our Guide to Mens Enhancement Underwear for more information.
1. PADDED UNDERWEAR
Mens padded underwear has padding inserted into the front pouch. This padding is usually a soft, removable, washable foam. The level of padding varies. Larger and fuller padding creates more enhancement. The padding is rounded to create a fuller enhanced appearance to the front. It provides the fullest appearance compared to the other forms of enhancement underwear. The padding does not give any lift, support or extra space. It can also reduce the amount of pouch space. Sometimes, the padding can cause less stretch in the pouch area. Therefore, you may find that you are a little constrained if you’re well endowed! Inserting padding into the front cup creates an extra layer of insulation. Therefore, it creates a warmer temperature. Thus, it increases the amount of sweating and sticking. However, it does depend on the type of foam used. Softer foam will be the worst, more rigid foam will insulate less.
Examples: CODE22 Power Shape
The CODE22 Power Shape is a bestseller at VOCLA. A piece of foam padding being inserted into the front cup, providing a mid-range level of enhancement which we feel is perfect. It is neither so large that it looks ridiculously unnatural, nor so small that it doesn’t enhance. The padding is washable but as it can easily be removed. We would recommend removing the enhancement padding occasionally when washing to help preserve its shape over time. The padding provides a rounded and fuller appearance to the front.
2. PUSH-UP UNDERWEAR
Mens push up underwear is designed to provide lift and support. The lifting effect gives you enhancement. There is a push-up system inside the front pouch and this can take two forms:
1) Some systems have straps which fasten underneath the package. These straps behave like a cradle, therefore holding the package upwards and supporting it underneath.
2) The more common form of male push up underwear involves a piece of U-shaped or horse-shoe shaped material being sewn into the entrance of the pouch. Your package sits over this material. The material supports it from underneath, pushing it upwards and outwards to enhance. The material usually has a soft elastic lining. Therefore, it allows more comfort and provides some flexibility.
The benefits of push-up underwear are not only support, lift and enhancement. By pushing the package upwards and away from the body, these push-up systems reduce the amount of sticking, sweating and squashing. Therefore, it’s a more healthy wearing experience. In terms of enhancement, push-up systems tend to provide the largest level of enhancement, although it can vary depending on your package size. The disadvantage of push-up underwear relates to the ‘feel’. It is not necessarily uncomfortable, it just feels strange at first.
Examples: Andrew Christian Show-It
The Andrew Christian Show-It technology provides a U-shaped piece of material sewn into the entrance of the pouch. This lifts the package upwards and outwards, adding up to 1.5 inches onto your front measurements. The material has a soft elastic lining to give comfort, helping to improve the feeling.
3. LARGE POUCH UNDERWEAR
Mens underwear with a larger pouch is not necessarily designed as a form of front enhancing underwear. Many brands change the cut and hence the shape of the front pouch. Some do this to provide extra space, therefore perfect for the well-endowed guy. Some do this to provide less space, therefore providing more support. These changes can have the indirect effect of providing enhancement. Here are a few examples:
Andrew Christian Almost Naked – this range of mens pouch underwear is designed with a front pouch that is cut to provide a larger, anatomically correct cup. The pouch is basically longer than standard pouches. This allows your package to hang free. It gives a more natural wearing experience which is much more comfortable than standard pouches. This in turn reduces the amount of sticking, squashing, sweating and chafing. But by creating a longer front pouch that lets your package hang free, there is also the indirect effect of package enhancement because it isn’t squashed into a small pouch. There is no lifting or padding, it’s just a natural enhancing effect. It won’t provide outwards enhancement, it just makes the package look longer.
Andrew Christian Trophy Boy – this pouch underwear is exactly the same as the Almost Naked range above, but with one difference – an even larger front pouch. The large pouch gives extra space for well-endowed guys. It significantly reduces the amount of squashing for larger guys.
SUKREW offer a range of moulded pouches. SUKREW pouches are longer and moulded. Therefore, you can hang free but also get a little enhancement lift and support.
