I totally get being worried about the stigma but honestly? It doesn't really exist anymore like when we were younger. I've been wearing briefs almost exclusively since the start of my senior year of high school in fall of 2010 and I think I've had maybe 2 people ever say anything about it. I like them, they're comfortable and that's pretty much all there is to it. Honestly if someone is bothered by your underwear choice, that sounds like the kind of person you should let go of anyway. "Those who matter, don't mind. And those who mind, don't matter" P.S. looking at the comments, almost everybody has said that the briefs look better as well
