Collection: Athletic Fit Men’s Underwear

Why Most Underwear Rides Up on Muscular Thighs

Most men’s underwear is graded assuming thigh size increases evenly with waist size.

For men with muscular or fuller thighs, that assumption breaks down quickly.

Common fit problems include:

• Underwear riding up within minutes
  
• Tight leg openings that restrict movement
  
• Having to size up the waist just to get leg room
  
• Excess fabric bunching once the waist is too large
  

If you lift, train, or naturally carry more muscle in your legs, standard underwear often feels uncomfortable almost immediately—not hours later.

What Actually Causes Ride-Up

Ride-up isn’t a fabric issue—it’s a fit issue.

Underwear rides up when it isn’t engineered to accommodate how your legs move. Most standard patterns use leg openings and seat dimensions that are too small for muscular or fuller thighs.

As you walk, sit, or move, tight leg openings are pulled upward by leg motion. Once the fabric shifts, it has nowhere to go but higher—causing friction, discomfort, and constant adjustment throughout the day.

Ride-up is most commonly caused by:

• Leg openings that are too small for the thigh
  
• Insufficient room through the seat
  
• Designs that don’t move naturally with your stride
  

The solution isn’t looser underwear.

It’s underwear engineered with the right proportions—so it moves with your body, not against it.
