Passion Richard briefs, black polyurethane

Passion's Richard briefs are a reinvented basic for today's man. Made in the European Union with strict quality controls, this model focuses on simplicity: a blended fabric (60% polyurethane, 40% polyester) that breathes while maintaining its shape. No frills, just a cut designed for everyday movement.

European materials and manufacturing

First, I recommend noting that the polyurethane used here offers natural elasticity, unlike some harsh synthetic materials. Oeko-Tex certification guarantees the absence of toxic substances during the dyeing and finishing process. It's a detail many people overlook, but it makes all the difference for sensitive skin. Richard briefs were designed for active men who move around a lot: the polyurethane-polyester blend absorbs moisture well and dries quickly, making it ideal for the gym or busy days.

Two sizes for two body types

The product is available in two variants: S/M for men with standard to slim builds, and L/XL for fuller builds. Between us, choosing the right size is important—a pair of briefs that is too tight can hinder circulation and comfort, while a pair that is too loose loses its purpose. If you're hesitating, go for the larger size: the polyurethane conforms well to the skin without constricting.

Care and durability

Here's what I recommend: machine-wash your Richard briefs at 30–40°C on a delicate cycle. Avoid bleach (it damages the polyurethane) and fabric softeners (which clog the fibers). Air-dry them instead of using a tumble dryer—you'll extend their lifespan. With this care, the briefs can easily last 2–3 years without any noticeable loss of elasticity. It's an affordable investment in a garment you wear every day.

Who it's really for

Ideal for: men looking for simple, comfortable underwear made in Europe. Those who reject marketing gimmicks but appreciate quality. Perfect for everyday wear, the gym, or simply feeling good in your own skin without any fuss. Also suitable for people with sensitive skin thanks to the Oeko-Tex certification.

Less suitable for: anyone looking for a fashionable or highly trendy piece—Richard is minimalist, almost invisible. If you want something spectacular, head instead to our more distinctive lingerie collection. Also, if you have a very atypical build (very muscular, very slim, or very curvy), the two available sizes may not be enough.

Friendly advice— These briefs aren't love at first sight, but they're a reliable wardrobe staple. Buy two pairs: you'll always have a clean one, and you'll quickly find out whether the size really suits you before buying them in other colors or styles.
