Blokes claim a little-known underwear brand is to thank for 'putting the spark back' into their sex lives.

As many men out there will know, poorly fitting boxers can cause uncomfortable wedgies and unsightly holes.

In a bid to solve the problem once and for all, men have been turning to underwear brand Step One, and it's had a surprising impact in the bedroom.

"Best underwear I have ever come across," one five-star review reads. "My wife thinks I'm a sex god."

"My man and I have been together for almost eight years, and during that time he has had barely any sex drive, often not being in the mood for three to six months!" another customer raved.

"We were even getting to the point where we were going to see if anything was medically wrong, until... he saw these boxers.

"What we didn't expect was that his sex drive went through the roof! Turns out, all this time the problem was just that his junk was uncomfortable! He's made up with them and we're throwing out all of his old boxers!"

A third simply said: "I'm very well supported and they've put the spark back in my sex life."

So, what makes the underwear brand stand out on the shelves, and how can they impact your sex life? Find out more below.

What is the underwear brand men are raving about?

Founded in Australia, Step One is a unisex underwear brand focused on everyday comfort and support.

Inspired by women's bra cup sizing, founder Greg Taylor designed a small elastic panel within the boxer pouch that stretches to support the family jewels.

According to the brand, said pouch 'lifts and separates the anatomy from the leg', which in turn stops any uncomfortable chafing.

What's more, they're made from moisture-wicking bamboo to minimise odours and keep intimate areas fresher for longer.

This newfound comfort has helped some men regain confidence in the bedroom, with many no longer dealing with pain or discomfort after gym sessions or a long day at work.

One shopper shared, "I have run 16 marathons so far this year, wearing Step One sports underwear every time. They're comfortable, give me support, and there's no chaffing."

"Best underwear going," another review reads. "I wear them daily and use their longer sports trunks for endurance events, I run a 110km ultramarathon in them with not a single bit of chafe!"

A third said, "My wife thinks I have extra sex appeal in them. I just love the all-round feeling, it's true what they say, they keep you cool and not sweaty."
