Commando, but going Finland in late December so... Might have to pick up some thermals

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

I was a life-long wearer of briefs until i moved to these. Things are well supported without being squashed, your bits certainly wont be slapping your thighs

I've ordered both the UAs. Whichever I prefer I'll get a good couple of weeks worth.

Thanks

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

These are also very good but next level in price, used to wear them exclusively when working at festivals in the summer and they kept everything comfortable and chafe free even when sweating my nads off and walking around for 13+ hours a day.

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

I was trying to keep the imagery a little more pleasant but that’s what I was getting at

no issues with the next ones though.

Got some from Muji (is that what it's called?) When I ran out on holiday and have sworn by them since, wifey grabs me them from there whenever she passes a Muji (?)

It's their boxer briefs. Very comfy, lovely material, nice fit (although would never have fit in during my fat days!), quite nice looking too.

I find them good for support - I've traditionally worn M&S sports hipsters rather than boxers for it the UA boxer jocks do just as well. The only down side I find is that though they seem more breathable, etc. than what I usually wear I definitely need to change them regularly or they start to smell of body odour pretty quickly after 1-2 days while normally with anything else I can get away with a couple of days and probably make it well into the 3rd if I have to before getting to the same level of odour.

I feel sick

I'd never buy cheap boxers, you can feel the quality and the ones I've had are going for 4 years and only now looking a bit tired. Hugo boss 3 for 36 quid

Another vote for M&S, they're comfy, supportive and wash well.

I've just had some delivered from Next, 3 for £18, quality is great.

bobbarley · 17 Sep 2017 at 16:09

My vote goes to M&S, they're comfy and not too expensive.

Didn't say I make a habit of wearing underwear 3 days

its just very noticeable with the UAs that you need to change them very regularly while many other brands I can get away in a pinch wearing them longer before there is any noticeable smell at all.

Not quite sure what the difference is and I see from the Amazon comments I'm not the only person to note it.

I'm wondering if the cotton ones would be better

Daaaavvveee · 17 Sep 2017 at 17:19

I got cotton Ralph Lauren ones, also tend to get some from Costco, always seem nice quality

Hedge · 17 Sep 2017 at 17:20

Turns out the French Connection ones I got have outlasted my Next and Calvin Klein ones by far.

Got them as a gift but I'd probably buy more again.

Hades · 17 Sep 2017 at 17:21

Good quality undies are life.

I've tried many from cheap stuff to expensive designer ones. I found the microfiber boxer briefs from M&S to be the best.

Your nads must sparkle after a bit of chafing

Hater · 17 Sep 2017 at 18:11

Didn't even know this was a thing, I just grab whatever boxers are on the shelf of whatever shelf i'm near at the time. I honestly don't see the difference between the CK ones I own and the Bonds and the Aldi...
