Video: The History of Men's Underwear Proves to Be Pretty

If the world was giving out advanced degrees on bras, we might just be holding our very own freshly inked copies. We've spent time studying the history of the bra, know the questions most women are asking, and have been chewing on the almost unbelievable fact that there are seven different types of breasts, with bras for each! But skivvies for dudes? So patently ignored. Knowing not that much about men's undergarments, the below history lesson is a delight. It scans millennia of styles, starting right off with the loin cloth you've pictured cavemen rocking (it was the first type of undies worn by humans, FYI). From there you'll see the invention of the jockstrap, circa the late 1800s, and the look that sold 30,000 pairs within the first three months. Ladies, it's fascinating stuff. Back to the women: Come see what the way you put on your bra says about you!
