    I’ve never seen men’s underpants with pockets. But I’m also not researching the topic extensively, so it’s possible this is a development in undergarment tech that I’m not aware of.

        This just reminded me. I bought a skort a year or two ago because it had awesome pockets. I didn’t realize til I bought it, but it was technically a swimsuit bottom (albeit with a skirt much longer than I’d expect on a swimsuit.)

        It has a pocket like in the comic - against the leg, normally hidden under the skirt portion. It also has a zippered pocket on one of the sides of the skirt fabric. These pockets are superior to those in any of my regular pants.

      I once came across a pair of some kind of synthetic silk man thongs. That had three pockets. One for your junk, another for your phone and the third for your dick and balls.

      They were like 90 dollars a pair.

      I guess it’s for when you need to be sexy and functional.

      I dated a girl once who was amazed by the “pocket” in my boxer-briefs until she found it it was actually just the weird hole thing they put in the front that acts as a fly.

        I have a theory that that’s not actually what that’s for. Like, men’s briefs are sort of double-breasted, there’s one flap that comes from one side almost all the way across, and then another outside of that that goes from the other side almost all the way across. It’s not really positioned or shaped in such a way that makes digging your dick out for dick-related activities easy or comfortable. But it does make for a functional expansion joint that allows a 100% cotton garment snugly house a bulge that changes size and position throughout the day.

        There often is a pocket-like area between the layers where they’re both attached to the sides down to the cross-ass seam, but I’m confident in saying men don’t store things there. You look REALLY STRANGE accessing that compartment, and objects placed there will rest uncomfortably against the scrotum, and come out smelling of taint sweat.

      I have compression shorts that I run in that are the closest thing. Otherwise, if I’m just in underwear, or maybe a pair of gym shorts with no pocket, just throwing the phone in the waistband is sufficient. Just need something better for running.
