Y-fronts are a style of men's undergarments that have a distinctive Y-shaped front panel that provides support. However, there are several synonyms for Y-fronts that are commonly used. Boxer briefs are a popular alternative to Y-fronts that offer a longer leg and a more loose fit. Briefs are another commonly used synonym for Y-fronts. These are a classic style that provides support but with less coverage compared to boxer briefs. Additionally, there are athletic or performance underwear options that are designed to wick away sweat and keep the wearer dry during exercise. No matter the style, comfort and support are key features for men's undergarments.
