So..

I like tight-ish fitting boxer briefs and need some new ones.

I normally buy Haynes, or Fruit fo the Loom however these two brands have made their way into my hockey and gym wear (10+ pairs) and have been a pain because I mix up new, slightly new, and old ones all the time due to them all being the same brand.

Unfortunately I don't really want to go drop $200 on underwear like Calvin Cline or anything, the 3 paks at the mall do me just fine.

Any suggestions?

Jockey? They have them at the Bay for somewhere in the $15-30 range I believe.

I'm wondering if this is what Bingo had in mind starting this site all those years ago

Just get the new Fruit of the Loom boxer briefs in a different colour than what you have now. Now, in addition to the standard black and grey combo packs they are available in red and blue, iirc.

LOL..man o man...

Tired of looking like a dork?

Heh, thanks Cheese,

What SharpWomen say: "Boxers compliment even the most imperfect of male figures and there’s something adventurous and cool about a guy who’s willing to ‘just hang’ out." "Fat men should stick with boxers — there’s something sexy about that look." "Men with no butts should definitely stick to baggy boxers."

Well I'm not fat, nor do I have no ass...

I hate boxers, they get bunched up and offer no support :angry: I want to be Marky Mark

Reaper - I have grey, black, green, red.. A new brand would be so much easier, but I'll look into what I can arrange with your suggestion.

calculoso - I'll look into those thanks, were they 15 - 20 per piece or per pak?

They have some ones at Costco in 3/4 packs for less than $20. Prodige is the brand name I believe. They sell pretty well.

Hmnmm, I think I've looked at those before, they might be the ones that are to low, or have to big of a waistband.

I'll rememeber for next time although my next trip to costco is a long ways away.

Whoops, didn't know Cheese's link reviewed them all

Boxer-Briefs
The pros: Style and support. The most universally flattering cut of underwear.

The cons: Complaints of the tight-fitting legs riding up the thigh and bunching under the pants.

Thanks to designers like Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, boxer-briefs have burst on the scene as a "best-of-both-worlds" solution for many SharpMen. The newest fad in men’s wear, the boxer-brief unites its ancestors in the most harmonious combo since Reese’s crossed chocolate and peanut butter.

What SharpMen say: "They feel great and women seem to like them." "They’re all I wear now." "I don’t like the way they ride up my leg."

What SharpWomen say: "Boxer—briefs are the sexiest, regardless of a man’s build. You know what you’re in for, and yet they cover up!" "It drives me crazy to see the band poking out over a guy’s belt line. I just want to snap it." "They’re a perfect combination of sexy and practical."

SharpMan-Approved versions: In our search for the ultimate boxer briefs, we went looking for quality and the bottom line. Many companies make great-looking versions of boxer-briefs; our mission was to find high-quality briefs below the usual $18-25 mark. Where higher-priced versions were considered, we "let them in" based on an unusual style not found at the local department store. We also found a number of styles designed to enhance the "contour" of the SharpMan wearing them — these were a big hit. Check ‘em out:

I bought a pair of Underarmour boxer briefs for $18 US a few months back. I will never buy another brand of everyday underwear again. For anyone who is physically active, I suggest you try them. They've made a HUGE difference in my comfort level both during and after activity.

This is one thing I don't think guys need to discuss.

It's like girls talking to each other about certain things, that guys just shouldn't.

But if we must... Value Village is always a great choice for the under things.

Comando Wookie, comando.

I find it somewhat alarming that I come across my name in this thread of all threads, without me posting in it.
So, in day dreaming about underwear, my name is stuck in the back of Wookie's head?
Or is it Marky Mark you're associating me with?

Winsor_Pilates · 10-14-2005, 11:38 PM

FTL! FTL! FTL!

I switched from boxers to boxer briefs about a month ago and it was the best decision I ever made. Never going back

First off I can't believe I'm posting in this thread, but hey... why not.

I've got a few of FTL BB's as well as Prodige ones. Both are comfy, etc., but I grab the Prodige ones first after doing the laundry. Guess I must like them better, though I hadn't exactly given it much thought until now....

Anyhow, pretty cheap and pretty good. Nice combo.

Eastern Girl · 10-15-2005, 12:16 AM

awww, look at the men talking about undies! It's cute!

Prototype · 10-17-2005, 12:17 PM

I can't believe no one has said Banana Hammock in this thread yet. Do I wear em, no... is this thread begging for it, you betchya!

Tron_fdc · 10-17-2005, 12:24 PM

I hear the old grape smugglers are making a comeback. Not for me though.

I buy all my Calvin Klein boxer/briefs in China whenever I go, $0.50/pair and I usually get about 30 pairs. They go well with my Hugo Boss dress socks.

Mike Oxlong · 10-17-2005, 02:01 PM

Sometimes you can get great deals on Boxer Briefs at Winners. If they don't have any go to Tip Top Tailors. I forget the brand name but they are super comfy and relatively cheap.

Hang on........I'll check........

Profilo is the brand name at Tip Top.
