Boxer Shorts

Boxer shorts for men are sexy underwear that range from the classic cut to the openly provocative: sheer mesh, open sides, wet-look or openings at the back. To choose, think about whether you want them for every day or for a specific occasion, then check the fabric and the size.

What are erotic boxer shorts?

They are boxer shorts with a cut close to the usual one, with a short leg and a waistband, but designed to show off: they define more, reveal a little or have a daring detail. Some are modal cotton or microfibre and are worn every day like any other underwear, while others are shiny wet-look, mesh, lace or vinyl, some with an opening at the back, and are kept for specific occasions. Here the sizes run from S to XL: Locker Gear comes in S, M, L and XL, and Passion Men and Pipedream come in two combined sizes, S/M and L/XL. The exceptions are the S Pleasures boxer, one size with adjustable side straps, and a Diablo Picante in a large size (Plus Size); there is no XXL as such. Diablo Picante is the brand with the most models in the section, all seamless and made of stretch fabric; the Locker Gear pairs mix polyester with elastane, and the Pipedream Beefy Brief is Lycra, which is what lets them fit without squeezing. It is a short but varied section: it goes from the Diablo Picante novelty boxer to the Pipedream fetish style with metal rings or tie straps.

Jockstraps and athletic supporters are not here: if you are looking for something that covers even less, such as briefs, thongs or jockstraps, see briefs and thongs. Everything else in men's underwear is in men's lingerie.

Types of erotic boxer shorts

What changes from one to another is the fabric, how much they show and whether they have any opening.

  • Sporty wide-waistband: stretch knit of polyester and elastane, like those from Locker Gear; the Wide Waistband Trunk has a zip opening at the back for quick access.
  • Wet-look, vinyl and leather: a shiny or stiffer finish, sometimes with metal details or adjustable leather; these are the most eye-catching.
  • Sheer or open-sided: fine mesh or lace that hints at what is underneath and defines the silhouette.
  • Front pouch or low-rise: the cut enhances the front and sits lower on the waist.
  • Classic and flattering: simply cut shorts, like those from Passion Men, designed to be worn every day.
  • Novelty: humorous prints, like those from Diablo Picante, which are also made in large sizes.
  • Jockstraps and athletic supporters: they support the front and leave the buttocks bare; they are in briefs and thongs, where you will find sporty ones from Locker Gear, Macho Underwear and Burn.

How to choose

  • Fabric: the product page gives the composition; polyamide or polyester with elastane fit closely and stretch, while cotton is more breathable.
  • Cut: shorts with a leg, low-rise or front pouch; look at the photos and the description to see how much they cover.
  • Opening: check on the product page whether it has a front zip or an opening and where it is.
  • Transparency: mesh and lace are see-through; if you don't want anything to show, choose an opaque fabric.
  • Size: check the brand's size chart and whether the model is one size or adjustable.

Frequently asked questions

Which erotic boxer shorts are comfortable for everyday wear?

Low-cut modal cotton ones and seamless microfibre ones. They are as comfortable as ordinary underwear, but with a more flattering cut that defines without squeezing. For everyday wear, keep lace and wet-look for particular moments.

What are the safest materials for boxer shorts?

Cotton, microfibre and polyester. Cotton is soft and breathable, which helps avoid irritation. Microfibre and polyester give stretch and last well, but they should be well made to avoid allergic reactions.

How do I choose the right size of boxer shorts?

Measure your waist at the narrowest point and compare it with the manufacturer's size chart, because each brand sizes a little differently. If you are between two sizes, go for the larger one: you will be more comfortable.

Is it safe to wear boxer shorts with sex toys?

Yes, as long as the fabric doesn't get in the way of the toy. Cotton or soft fabrics allow freedom of movement. Make sure the toy is clean and avoid boxer shorts that are too tight so you don't feel uncomfortable.

How do I wash boxer shorts?

By hand or in the washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold water, with no bleach and no machine drying, which damage the fibres, and air-dried so they keep their shape and stretch. With wet-look, vinyl, leather or metal details, follow the label.

Can boxer shorts affect sexual performance?

They can, if they are too tight. Very tight boxer shorts may restrict blood flow and that could affect performance. The best are ones that support without squeezing: comfort also gives confidence.

Are boxer shorts suitable for sport?

Yes, if they are made of stretch, breathable fabric. Look for ones that wick moisture to keep you dry, and that hold you well without limiting movement.

What is the difference between boxer shorts and briefs or a jockstrap?

How much they cover. Boxer shorts have a short leg; briefs don't, and a jockstrap leaves the buttocks bare with two straps. Here there are only boxer shorts and shorts; briefs, thongs, jockstraps and athletic supporters are in briefs and thongs.
