Confident Male makes two underwear styles, and the choice mostly comes down to one thing: do you want odor control built in, or not. Here's the real difference.

Leak-Resistant Underwear
This is the core product: a proprietary dual-layer wicking system built into an ultra-soft, all-natural fabric blend, engineered to handle light to moderate leaks without bulk. It's available as briefs, short boxer briefs, or long boxer briefs, same fabric and protection across all three, just different cuts. For most men, this is the right starting point.
Onyx Underwear
Onyx starts from the same protective foundation and adds odor-resistant fabric on top. If you're wearing the same pair through a longer day, a workout, or travel, and you want one less thing to think about, Onyx is built for that. It's a separate SKU, not a different protection level, so you're not trading away leak protection to get the odor control.
Which one should you get?
- Most everyday situations: start with Leak-Resistant Underwear in whichever cut you prefer.
- Long days, workouts, or travel where you can't change as often: Onyx adds the odor control on top of the same protection.

FAQ
Is Onyx more protective than the standard Leak-Resistant Underwear?
No, the leak protection is the same dual-layer wicking system in both. Onyx adds odor-resistant fabric, it doesn't add extra leak capacity.
Can I mix cuts and styles?
Yes. Many men keep a few pairs of Leak-Resistant Underwear for daily wear and a couple of Onyx pairs for travel or workout days.
Do both styles run the same size?
Yes, both use the same sizing, so check the size guide once and it applies to either style.
