What is the difference between boxers and briefs?
The terms "boxer briefs" and "boxer shorts" are often used interchangeably, but they generally refer to two distinct types of men's underwear. Here are the main differences between boxer briefs and boxer shorts:
Boxer shorts are loose, wide underwear that cover a significant portion of the thighs. They have a cut similar to shorts, with a gathered elastic waistband. Boxers are more fitted and have a close-fitting cut. They usually cover a smaller portion of the thigh than boxer shorts and have a flat waistband.
Today, boxer shorts are often chosen for comfort and freedom of movement, with many men preferring them for sleep or casual activities. Boxers are often chosen for their tighter fit, which can be preferable under more fitted clothing.
How to choose your men's underwear?
Underwear is in constant contact with the skin, so it must be pleasant with unmatched comfort. How to choose your men's underwear?
Among the underwear, we find the boxer, it is the most versatile model, it can be short or long. It is a model that can be used to do sports because it has good support. It can also be worn under dress pants, the more airy models are ideal for sleeping at night. We can also opt for briefs or boxer shorts.
The most important thing when choosing is the comfort of your underwear, whether it's your boxers or your pairs of socks! Think about the shape, height, materials, support and style. Your underwear also accompanies you in your sleep, you can match it with a short-sleeved or long-sleeved t-shirt to warm you up in winter. Choosing your underwear well guarantees you a comfortable sleep. Test your underwear during the day, this will give you an indication of the support. You have the right to change your mind if you finally think that a short boxer would be preferable. You have made your choice and it's time to pay? It is better to do a test before buying in quantity even if some brands offer flexible payment methods and a few days to change.
How to know your men's underwear size?
It is important to know your underwear size, however, sizes vary depending on the brand and sometimes even depending on the model. It is best to always consult the size guide offered by the brands. So before you pay, measure your waistline with a tape measure!
