Men's Lower Torso for Displaying Underwear, Swimwear and Shorts

Men's lower torso: a focused display for underwear and swimwear

Men's underwear laid folded on a shelf doesn't show its cut. The buyer doesn't see where the elastic sits, how high the leg cut is and how the fabric falls on the thigh. A men's lower torso solves this: it's a display mannequin of the lower half of the body, from the waistline to mid-thigh, and it shows the item exactly in the area where it's worn.

The mannequin is sculpted in full anatomical lines, with a navel, delicate abdominal muscles, a groin line and a rounded rear. From behind you clearly see the rear cut, which matters for fitted boxers, sports briefs and short swimwear. The overall height is 46 cm and the hip circumference 96 cm, proportions of an adult man of average build.

The torso is made of rigid foamed plastic with a smooth, uniform finish, in a natural body tone. The material is easy to lift and move, and it stands directly on the cut ends of the thighs on any flat surface. There's no need for a separate stand or base.

Common uses

• Men's underwear – boxers, long boxers, classic briefs and sports briefs

• Men's swimwear – fitted swimsuits, swim trunks and short board shorts

• Shorts – running shorts, gym shorts and men's short leggings

• Display on a counter and shelf – by the checkout, on a center table or in a wall niche

• Shop window – several torsos in a row to create a color group or a series

• Product photography for an online store – photographing underwear and swimwear on a body, without a model

Who the torso is for

Underwear and swimwear stores – several identical units on one shelf create a tidy, uniform display, and it's easy to swap items when the collection changes.

Sports stores and fashion chains – suits an active corner and a base-layer display, and takes up less space than a full display mannequin.

Brands and online stores – uniform photography of all models on the same body, without model costs and without differences between shoots.

Manufacturers, wholesalers and designers – displaying a collection at exhibitions, in showrooms and in meetings with buyers. For quantity orders for chains and stores, contact us for a tailored quote.

Professional display tips

• Size M on the mannequin – a hip circumference of 96 cm roughly fits size M in most men's underwear size charts. An item in this size will sit smoothly, without folds and without overstretching

• Straighten the elastic – center the waistband so the logo is straight and visible. It's the first detail the buyer looks at

• Show the back too – turn one torso in each group half a turn, so the buyer also sees the rear cut

• Eye level – place on a shelf or a raised cube. On the floor the mannequin is almost invisible

• Series of three – three identical torsos in three colors of the same model show the range of colors at a glance

• Photography on a uniform background – the mannequin's natural tone suits a white or light background, and gives the look of a real body without editing work

Common mistakes to avoid

• Using a display torso as a dress form – this is a display mannequin only. It isn't intended for pinning or for sewing work. For fitting and pattern adjustment you need a padded dress form

• An item that's too small – size S underwear stretches on the mannequin, distorts the print and may stretch permanently. Size M is better

• Long trousers on a short torso – the mannequin ends at mid-thigh, so long trousers will hang from it shapelessly. For long trousers you need a lower torso with full legs

• Prolonged exposure to direct sun in a window – as with any plastic product, strong sunlight over time may affect the tone. It's recommended to place it in a partly shaded spot or to change the position from time to time

• Cleaning with abrasives – wipe only with a soft, damp cloth, with no solvents and no rough sponge, to preserve the smooth finish

How this model differs from similar mannequins

This is a lower torso for men, with men's sculpting and a hip circumference of 96 cm. For displaying women's lingerie there are separate models of a female lower part and a female rear form, with different sculpting and proportions.
