Boxer briefs are not comfortable no matter what the brand.

r/

I’ve never understood how people swear by boxer briefs and say boxers are for kids not for grown men cus I’ve tried every boxer briefs known to man from cheap quality up to Versace brand and they are not comfortable in the slightest. The constant wedging up, the sweat, the constriction, I just don’t get how majority of men say they’re comfortable especially over regular boxers.

    Go ahead and keep wearing boxers your whole life. When you get old you’ll be tucking your balls in your socks…… fact

    I live where it’s hot and humid. Swamp ass is real. And it hurts.

    I live in the South south and I’m pretty physical, boxers are not cutting it.

    What’s better?

    Regular boxers? Those things are like wearing a full on pair of shorts under your pants. Talk about bunching, not to mention the flipping and flopping around. Commando? Come on.

    Agreed they’ve always had a, flamboyant and boyish quality to them

    I was more surprised when I got to college and learned how many girls didn’t bat an eye at guys wearing them

    What wedging up? I wear only boxer briefs, I’ve rarely gotten a wedgie.

    They’re great if you have massive thighs and every other type of underwear leads to chaffing.

    Once you hit mid-20s it becomes absolutely necessary to have some support down there.

    Moisture wicking boxers are the key to not being gross in the grow rooms where it’s 40c. They also keep my legs from rubbing on my weekly hikes.

    Nike Mens Dri-Fit boxer briefs are the only thing I wear now. Expensive but 100% worth it.

    Why are Boxers and Boxer briefs the only things being considered here? I wear manties. the smaller the better.

    My junk and ass just look better in them.

    You should try athletic boxer briefs that are made of a more spandex-y material. I wear this type exclusively and will never go back to any other type. I have no problems with sweat or bunching up, and the material is always smooth against the skin while still providing good support.

    I have to have that support. Briefs for me and I don’t care what anyone says.

    I don’t understand how people wear standard boxers. The fact that you’re just wearing normal shorts under normal pants is so strange to me.

    Maybe its just you. I work outside year round and having some mesh boxer briefs definitely helps with chafing. My boys were rubbing my thighs raw until I got wise and invested in a couple dozen pair of these bad boys.

    I can only wear boxer briefs. I’ve never experienced the issues you’re claiming

    The comfort of any type of clothing is determined by its size and shape and the size and shape of who’s wearing it. Maybe find a place that can make custom undergarments or learn to use a sewing machine so a means for comfort can turn into a mad quilting obsession.

    Try Duluth Buck Naked Boxer Briefs. They’ll change your mind.

    I’m guessing you’re not a runner. Running in boxers is beyond awful.

    I’m 100% with you man. I recently tried to switch to a tighter brief like saxxs and man made, and while they generally are ok for the day or a few hours there is no chance I can live in them 24/7. I wear the super stretchy saxx ones for when I play sports (hockey, soccer, golf). I’m telling you right now I got some pain in my nuts because of this recent switch. Suffice to say I am back to wearing boxers the majority of the time. No idea why guys say they need support all the time. Also, for centuries dudes didn’t constrict their nuts so much.

    Boxers are for teenagers. My junk likes some support. But briefs are more comfortable than boxer briefs to me. Keeps my balls from sticking to my legs while providing support.

    I only wear boxer briefs, I hate baggy boxers. My balls end up in the weirdest positions. Ever since I was a kid I remember a horror story about how this dude’s nuts got twisted up somehow and his testicles like flipped sides and he had to have surgery.

    Ever since I’ve preferred briefs cuz they’re tighter so they keep my nuts in perfect place allowing less “unfortunate mix ups” with the ol family jewels. They also look better and show off my ass a bit.

    Squats are paying off baby

    Edit: my balls are of average size not real small or real big ( dunno if that plays a big role in testicular movement and comfortability)

    Based on your description you should’ve been trying a different size, not a different brand. Maybe you’d like them if they actually fit.

    They’re so comfortable. You might need bigger ones.

  39. jfk_47 Avatar

    Try Bonds. They have a few versions. I like the athletic ones.

    But also, I mostly wear bird dogs pants with liner. So no undies.

    I won’t wear anything but boxer briefs. What we have here is not so much an opinion but a preference.
