Cheap vs Expensive Boxer Shorts

glenimp617 · 17 Sep 2017 at 13:20

it's that time of year again. I need to get some new underwear. Does anyone know of a good place to get them from without costing the earth?

Amazon sells a 3 pack of Calvin Kleins for £25 but M&MDirect look to have the exact same ones (under a different name) for less than half.

I'm sure like work shirts (ctshirts) there is a place everyone goes to for decent boxers.

Thanks

I personally only wear Jeff Banks - Matalan usually sell them.

Think they're either 6 or 8 quid a pair.

I to always buy CK. Tried some Levis and Ralph Lauren recently and they aren't as good. Also don't buy supermarket ones.

I used to get them from TKMAXX but the don't seem to sell them anymore. I would just buy the cheapest CK ones unless some are a nicer colour.

I've found that TK Maxx ones aren't always the same product - for example with diesel boxers/underpants the ones I got from the diesel store seemed to have a thicker elastic waistband and the letters were fabric not printed like the ones from TK Maxx

I wear next own brand ones. Nice weight to the material with just the right amount of stretch. My thighs haven't chewed them to bits after a year either which is always a good sign of quality.

M&S obviously. Used to get CKs but they're not worth the extra to me.

I did read on one of the fashion sites that these were voted number one.

These?

Likewise, nothing else feels as good!

Cks and Jeff banks for me. No other gives the longevity and comfort.

The second ones are the ones. They usually crop up on Sport Pursuit quite often for a decent discount, I always stock up then.

It's not my thighs that chew them but seemingly my knackers!

Primark had some on offer that were surprisingly good, nice material and haven't shrunk in the wash. Cheap boxers (not that cheap really) from Debenhams / Tesco / Next weren't great.

Yep another vote for the UA boxer jocks. They are awesome

Cheap as possible, although I draw the line at used.

How well do they keep things in place? I don't wear normal boxers because I hate junk down my thigh, so wear briefs.
