men's underwear

Boxers or briefs

Underwear designed for male anatomy, typically including briefs, boxers, boxer briefs, and undershirts.

The term distinguishes from women's or children's underwear in retail and laundry contexts: The men's underwear section is on the second floor.

Often shortened to just underwear when context makes the wearer clear.
