Worn by most of our dads in the 70's and 80's, these bold and daring man-knickers leave far less to the imagination than full cut briefs or boxers. After the 80's, these became far less popular in America. In Europe and South America, these are simply just briefs or mini-slips and less thought is given to them. On the other side of the spectrum, they're extremely common for men in Australia and New Zealand.

They are often visible by a man's briefline, especially in slacks or gym shorts.

Today, at least in America anyways, they're mostly reserved for serious bodybuilders, Jersey Shore type douchebags and gay men. Also, PE Teachers over 40, fraternity hunks, midlife crisis dilf professionals and cocky athletes make up a sizable portion of the segment. In England, a sizable amount of the tracksuit wanker males tend to wear them. Some lads are suckered into wearing them by their girlfriends and end up loving them. Guys named Chad, Todd, Alec and Marc will often wear bikini briefs.

They're essentially just cotton speedos - with a fabric covered waistband and two or three inches of material on the side. They come in solid colours, prints and stripes. Jim Palmer made these very mainstream when he began sporting them in major magazine adverts in the late 70's making them extremely popular for the Jockey line and defining the style.
