Best Underwear for Men Over 50: Comfort Meets Style

Written by Bill M.Published on June 26, 2025

Let’s be real—finding the perfect underwear after 50 isn’t just about looking good; it’s about feeling fantastic all day long. At Shinesty, we get it. Comfort, support, and style aren’t mutually exclusive, and we’ve made it our mission to prove that. Whether you’re kicking back at home, powering through a busy day, or stepping out for a night on the town, your underwear should work as hard as you do. So, buckle up (or rather, unbuckle your old, tired pairs) and get ready to discover underwear that’s as bold and comfortable as you are.

You Should Know

Before you dive into the world of men’s underwear designed specifically for the over-50 crowd, here are the three most important things to keep in mind:

  1. Comfort is king: As we age, skin gets more sensitive and body shapes change. Underwear with soft, breathable fabrics and smart support systems like Shinesty’s Ball Hammock® pouch technology is a game-changer.
  2. Moisture-wicking matters: Staying dry isn’t just about comfort—it’s about health. Fabrics that pull moisture away from the skin help prevent chafing and irritation, which is crucial for men over 50.
  3. Style doesn’t retire: Just because you’re over 50 doesn’t mean your underwear has to be boring. Shinesty’s collection offers bold prints and colors that let your personality shine through, proving that style and comfort go hand in hand.

Why Comfort Should Be Your Top Priority

When it comes to underwear for men over 50, comfort isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential. Our bodies change as we age, and that means the underwear you rocked in your 30s might not cut it anymore. Shinesty’s men’s underwear is crafted with this in mind, using ultra-soft, breathable fabrics that feel like a second skin.

One of the standout features we’re proud of is our patented Ball Hammock® pouch technology. This isn’t your average pouch—it’s designed to provide superior support without squeezing or restricting. The result? Less shifting, less bunching, and a whole lot more comfort throughout your day.

Plus, our fabrics are moisture-wicking, which means they actively pull sweat away from your skin. This is a huge deal for men over 50 who want to avoid the dreaded chafing and irritation that can come with less breathable underwear. Whether you’re running errands or hitting the gym, Shinesty’s underwear keeps you cool, dry, and comfortable.

Fabric Choices That Feel Like a Dream

We don’t mess around when it comes to fabric. Our underwear is made from premium blends like micro-modal and spandex, which combine softness with stretch. Micro-modal is especially fantastic because it’s incredibly gentle on sensitive skin and has a silky smooth feel that lasts wash after wash.

And because we know durability matters, our fabrics are designed to hold their shape and color, so your underwear looks fresh and feels great for the long haul. No sagging, no fading—just consistent comfort and style.

Style That Speaks Volumes

Who says men over 50 have to settle for plain, boring underwear? At Shinesty, we believe your underwear should be as vibrant and unique as you are. Our collection features everything from classic solids to wild prints that make a statement.

Whether you want to keep it low-key or turn heads, we’ve got you covered. Our designs are bold, playful, and unapologetically fun—because confidence starts from the inside out. And trust us, when your underwear game is strong, it shows.

Fit That Flatters Every Body

Fit is everything, especially as your body changes over time. Shinesty’s underwear is cut to provide a snug but comfortable fit that moves with you. No pinching, no riding up—just smooth, supportive coverage that feels tailor-made.

We offer a variety of styles, including briefs, trunks, and boxer briefs, so you can find the perfect match for your lifestyle and preferences. Each style incorporates our signature Ball Hammock® pouch and moisture-wicking fabrics, ensuring you never have to sacrifice comfort for style.
