Your Swimwear Preferences

A while back we conducted a survey here on Men's Underwear Blog asking you what your swimwear preferences were. The results were rather interesting, but not nearly as astounding as the results for your underwear preferences. A total of 1133 of your responded to the question "What Style of Swimwear do you Prefer?". A large amount of you prefer Speedo-style swimwear (or swim briefs). In fact about 26% of you or 305 of you prefer this style. The runner-up was "the smallest thing I can find" with 22% or 255 of you choosing this option. Next up was swim trunks (the tight kind) with 17% or 203 of you preferring to rock those. Very close to swim trunks (tight) with 16% of you (that's 183 of you) preferring to wear them was boardshorts. Trailing behind boardshorts was swim trunks (loose) with 12% of you (or 147) preferring those. Trailing far behind the others with 1% (17), 1% (14), and 0% (9) respectively were "I don't swim", "I just wear my clothes", and "the largest thing I can find". So there you have it, that's how MUB readers measure up in terms of their swimwear preferences. I'm not particularly surprised by any of the results, are you?

UB Poll Results

A while back we conducted a poll here on UB asking you guys "What style of underwear do you prefer?". Ultimately 1,874 of you responded. Thongs came in first with 422 (22%) of you saying that you preferred them above all else. They were closely followed by briefs with 392 (that's 20%) of you favoring them. Boxerbriefs and bikinis trailed behind with 316 (16%) and 294 (15%) readers voting in their favor respectively. Jockstraps, trunks, and boxer shorts were barely voted for with 7%, 6%, and 5% of you favoring them respectively. Finally, 3% of you (that's 58 of you) voted for non. I just don't understand why you would prefer to wear none, but you are on this site. Can you enlighten me? And last, but not least, 1% (23) of you voted for other. Overall, I found these results quite interesting. Some things I expected (briefs, boxer shorts), some things surprised me a bit (none, trunks). So what do you think? Do these results surprise you, or did you expect the vote to be this way? Thank you to all of you who participated in this study.

Poll Results

As you may have noticed there has been a poll in the sidebar of this blog for a long time. The question is "What is your favorite style of underwear?". The results are all public but I would just like to report on what they are because they are quite interesting. I'd also like to compare them to a survey done by Freshpair . I'd like to note that my sample mainly was targeted at underwear enthusiasts while Freshpair just surveyed every average Joe. My poll showed that briefs were favored (584 votes) closely follwed by thongs (545 votes). Then in third came boxerbriefs (447). I was also surprised that 176 liked boxers and 84 prefer wearing nothing (this is an underwear site people!). Also 23 prefer other (what would that be?). Then in comparison to Freshpair's survey briefs were at the top (same as my poll) 41%, followed by boxerbriefs (27%) and trunks (14%), then boxers and then thongs were in last. I was a bit surprised that briefs were favored by far in both surveys. I was not too surprised about boxerbriefs being in second and third. I was surprised about the huge difference in thongs in both surveys. Well just goes to show, you never really know what your guy friends are wearing underneath until you ask (or they show).

Poll:
What do you think of the results? Are they similar or different to wha t you would have predicted?
