i like boxers for myself. I hate tighties...of any color. And those jockey things...dont get me started on how much I cant stand those.
As for the undies of a lady...? I'd have to go with the standard undies. Not granny panties but just regular. A thong can be nice but like AccordinStyle said gotta be able to support it. Unfortunately there are too many that cant and are wearing them
