Underwear that gives your pouch a lift is called enhancing underwear. There are different types of Enhancing Underwear, which we will explain below. Basic underwear without any enhancement can feel restricted or leave you looking squashed.

Is my underwear Enhancing?

A simple way to see if the underwear you are buying from a store or the underwear you have in your drawer is enhancing, is to fold the pouch out sideways to see if the fabric is contoured (see photo below).  A flat pouch will mean a flat look.

Why is all underwear not Enhancing?

Not all brands produce Enhancing underwear and this is mainly due to 2 reasons. The first reason is 'Tradition'. The idea that men would want to boost their packet 'does not compute'. Some big brands still see women as the objects of desire, not the man! The second reason some underwear brands do not produce enhancing underwear is cost. Taking time to produce a curved pouch has an investment cost and also uses up more material then just joining square pieces of fabric. Use the image above to see how your underwear compares.

Will enhancing underwear work on me?

As the name suggest, enhancing underwear works to enhance what you already have. Guys with regular, large and extra large dicks will benefit from a shaped pouch or inside pocket boost. If you have a very small dick, it is best to avoid enhancing underwear (unless you have large balls) as an enhancing pouch needs something to work with. In the case of guys with a very small dick, we recommend you stick with regular underwear with a slight contour as this will give you the best shape. Or why not cheat and try a padded pouch?

5 types of Enhancing Underwear

It's not just a choice between enhancing or non-enhancing underwear, men's enhancing underwear is a sub-category in itself! See the pro's and con's below.
