    Default Boxers to Boxer-Briefs?

    Been a boxers guy most of my life, and recently been thinking of switching to boxer-briefs. Anybody made this transition and loved it? Kinda wondering how the fit will be, since im used to just having the bagginess of boxers.

    Opinions? Comments? Health Benefits? Help me out guys. Thanks

    I'm a boxer briefs guy, I find they are more form fitting and give a comfortable environment for stretching, etc...

    I was having a problem with some of your run of the mill cheap boxers becoming bound up, or riding down on me..... So I made the switch from the recommendation of a co worker, a good choice!

    I would suggest Champion or Starter, Walmarts brand "Faded Glory" is not bad, but for me, Fruit of the loom or Haynes are junky...

    I like Jockey Sport H-Fly Midway Briefs a lot. They are like wearing Underarmor shorts but not as thick. Jockey sells them through Amazon but the prices is kinda high right now I got them for $15/2pk and they are $21 now. I've never lived loose and free before so can't comment on the transition haha, but I like boxer-briefs much much more than regular briefs.

    I made the switch from cotton briefs to cotton boxers many years ago. But, I discovered the ultimate solution two years ago when I was planning a three-week trip. Ex Officio boxer-briefs. Cool, comfortable support. I bought a few pairs for the trip, and found they lived up to their claims. (Their ads state, "Six weeks, 12 countries, two pairs of underwear." Or something like that. )When I got back home, I threw out all my cotton briefs and bought more pairs of the Ex Officios. HIghly recommended. They're not cheap, though.

    Underarmor is my go to boxer briefs. Expensive but i'll save my nickels some where other than the garment that coddles the family jewels.

    I was a boxer guy for for 30 years and made the switch a few years ago to boxer briefs. I recently bought a pack of Adidas made of the performance type material that under armor is made of, and my boys have never been happier. I immediately went out and bought 3 more packs.

    I find boxer briefs more comfortable.

    I found that they boxer briefs wick moisture away a lot better than boxers, this helps a lot with chafing such, especially if you're a bit of a sweaty guy.

    I prefer both boxers & boxer briefs by Fruit of the Loom and haven't any problems with the 'riding up and down' effect.

    I never felt comfortable in boxers. I've been a boxer briefs man for many years.

    All about them under armours. I like a bit of a longer boxer brief and that helps with chaffing during running and other sports.

    Do people really pick only one type of underwear and stick with it religiously? That seems so odd to me. I have several varieties in my drawer and select whatever seems appropriate for the day.

    Made the switch right after college. The ladies seem to prefer boxer briefs as well.

    Made the switch years ago, had problems with boxers binding on my thighs so I switched over and never looked back. I will admit I have a few flannel boxers that I wear for hunting that I don't have the binding problem with but that's the exception to the rule...

    i give another +1 on Jockey. i've worn no other brand of underpants since highschool, and boxer briefs in general since middle school, i think.

    I'm a boxer brief guy as well. I used to wear boxers but I could never go back now. I think I started wearing boxer briefs to the gym and liked the support/privacy. If you make the move you will never go back :)
