Boxer Shorts

Well-made cotton boxer shorts have an elastic comfort waistband that holds securely without digging in.

• Soft elastic that gently adapts to waist and hips
• No uncomfortable pressure when sitting or bending
• Suitable even if the skin at the waist is sensitive

Tip:

If the waistband leaves deep marks or feels tight, the size is usually too small – try one size up.

Care: Wash at 30–40 °C and avoid high heat in the dryer so the waistband stays elastic and comfortable.

In the right size, cotton boxer shorts usually sit securely without riding up or sliding down.

• Close fit prevents bunching under jeans or joggers
• Spandex content keeps the shape stable
• Suitable for everyday life, office and light workouts

Tip:

If boxer shorts keep riding up or hanging low in the crotch, the cut or size is not ideal – it’s worth checking the size chart.

Care: After washing, gently pull them into shape and dry them flat to keep the fit stable.

Cotton is naturally breathable and helps to maintain a pleasant body climate.

• Absorbs moisture without instantly feeling clammy
• Comfortable for daily wear and normal activity
• Good choice if you prefer natural fibres

Tip:

If you sweat more, change underwear more often in summer – fresh shorts make a big difference in comfort.

Care: Cotton can usually be washed at 40 °C; for extra hygiene, an occasional 60 °C wash is possible depending on the care label.

Cotton boxer shorts are generally skin-friendly and often a good choice for sensitive skin.

• Soft, natural feel against the skin
• No stiff or scratchy fibres
• Comfortable for dry or easily irritated skin

Tip:

Use a mild, fragrance-free detergent if your skin tends to react to strong perfumes or additives.

Care: Avoid aggressive fabric softener – it can irritate very sensitive skin.

A 3D pouch offers more space, support and comfort in the front area.

• More ergonomic shape with less friction
• More natural feel without squeezing
• Better support when walking, sitting and moving

Tip:

If you often feel cramped in flat-front shorts, a 3D pouch can significantly improve comfort.

Care: Use a laundry bag if you want to protect the shaped pouch and seams for longer.

For light sports and everyday movement, cotton boxer shorts are usually sufficient.

• Soft feel for gym, walking or office days
• Comfortable during moderate activity
• For very intense workouts, functional underwear can offer extra advantages

Tip:

For heavy sweating during training, it can be worth switching to quick-drying sports underwear.

Care: Always wash promptly after sport to remove sweat and protect the fabric.

Boxer shorts should follow the body closely without pinching.

• Fabric should touch the skin without feeling restrictive
• No strong digging in at the waistband or leg openings
• No constant adjusting needed when walking or sitting

Tip:

If you constantly have to pull or straighten your shorts, the cut or size is probably not ideal.

Care: Avoid very high drying temperatures so the elastic fibres keep their stretch.

Cotton boxer shorts are suitable for warm days, as long as you change them regularly.

• Breathable fabric for a pleasant feel
• Comfortable under light summer trousers
• Good for normal summer heat

Tip:

On very hot days, choose lighter colours and change underwear more often for a fresher feel.

Care: After hot days, always wash to remove sweat and skincare residues.

For everyday life and office wear, cotton boxer shorts are absolutely fine in winter.

• Comfortable under jeans and chinos
• Warm enough in normal indoor temperatures
• Balanced mix of comfort and breathability

Tip:

If you get cold easily, rely on warmer trousers, winter boots or an extra sleep or lounge layer over your underwear.

Care: Let garments dry fully after wet or snowy days before putting them into the laundry basket.

The right size normally matches your usual trouser size or waist measurement.

• Use a size chart with waist measurements in cm/inches
• For in-between sizes, your comfort preference decides
• Too tight = digs in, too loose = excessive slipping

Tip:

If the waistband digs in or the legs ride up constantly, the size or cut is likely not right for you.

Care: A good fit also extends the life of the shorts – overly tight underwear wears out faster.

A blend of 95% cotton and 5% spandex offers a very comfortable amount of stretch.

• Plenty of freedom of movement in everyday life
• Fabric adapts to the body without feeling stiff
• Stays in shape better than pure cotton

Tip:

If you dislike very rigid underwear or very stretchy sports tights, this mix is usually a very good middle ground.

Care: Wash at a moderate temperature so the elastic fibres stay flexible.

With proper care, good cotton boxer shorts can last many months or even years.

• Longevity depends on washing temperature and frequency
• Fabric weight and workmanship are important factors
• Rotating several pairs reduces wear on each one

Tip:

Don’t wear the same two pairs constantly – a small selection worn in rotation lasts significantly longer.

Care: Washing inside out protects colours and the outer surface.

With gentle care, fit and elasticity can be preserved for a long time.

• Very high temperatures can make fabric and elastic stretch out
• Delicate or normal cycles are kinder to fibres and seams
• Avoid hot tumble-drying whenever possible

Tip:

If you notice the shorts starting to feel loose, skip the tumble dryer and switch to air-drying.

Care: Always follow the care label to avoid unnecessary shape changes.

Dark and very vibrant colours can release some dye during the first washes.

• Wash new underwear separately or with similar colours at first
• Use colour-care detergent
• Avoid boiling wash to protect dyes

Tip:

Wash black and dark shorts with dark laundry and inside out so they stay deep in colour for longer.

Care: Moderate temperatures and inside-out washing help to reduce fading.

A stretchy cotton blend is usually comfortable even on strong thighs.

• Elastic leg openings should not cut in
• Fabric stretches with movement rather than resisting it
• Less chafing thanks to close but flexible fit

Tip:

If your thighs are very muscular, going up one size can reduce pressure without making the shorts too loose at the waist.

Care: Avoid very hot drying so leg openings stay elastic.

Many models use flatter seams to reduce rubbing in the crotch area.

• Flatlock or low-profile seams cause less friction
• Soft fabric feels gentler on the skin
• More comfortable when sitting for long periods

Tip:

If you are very sensitive, look for designs with particularly flat seams or minimal seams in the crotch.

Care: Gentle cycles help to keep seams smooth and comfortable.

Close-fitting cotton stretch boxer shorts work very well under slim jeans or chinos.

• Less excess fabric under fitted trousers
• Fewer folds and visible lines
• Comfortable fit even with narrow cuts

Tip:

If you wear very skinny trousers, short trunks or boxer briefs are usually better than wide, loose boxer shorts.

Care: Keep the fabric in good condition with moderate wash temperatures so it lies smoothly.

Underwear should be changed at least once a day – more often if you sweat a lot.

• Fresh boxer shorts every day as standard
• After sport or heavy sweating, change immediately
• Regular changes improve hygiene and comfort

Tip:

A small stock of favourite pairs makes it easy to switch daily without running out.

Care: Don’t leave used underwear in a pile for too long – wash promptly to avoid odours setting in.

Many people like wearing cotton boxer shorts at night because they are soft and breathable.

• Comfortable feel in bed thanks to soft fabric
• Good climate even under a duvet
• Fine for calm sleepers and normal bedroom temperatures

Tip:

If you sweat heavily at night, try combining them with a light pyjama short or using particularly airy fabrics.

Care: Wash sleepwear just as regularly as daytime underwear to keep it fresh.

Gentle but thorough care significantly extends the life of cotton boxer shorts.

• Wash at 30–40 °C for everyday use
• Wash with similar colours, turned inside out
• Air dry if possible instead of using a hot dryer

Tip:

Using a laundry bag protects the fabric and waistband from friction in the machine.

Care: Follow the care label – that’s the easiest way to keep colour, shape and elasticity for a long time.

Milk silk or “ice silk” is a particularly smooth, soft functional fabric based on polyester and spandex.

• Silky, cool touch on the skin
• Thin, lightweight and very flexible
• Developed for a cool, dry wearing sensation

Tip:

If traditional cotton feels too rough to you, this fabric often feels noticeably more pleasant.

Care: Use a gentle cycle at about 30 °C to protect the fine fibre structure.

Milk silk usually feels even smoother and softer than standard cotton fabrics.

• Very low friction on the skin
• Glides easily under clothing
• Comfortable even under tight trousers

Tip:

A direct comparison between a cotton pair and a milk silk pair quickly shows which feel you prefer.

Care: No fabric softener is needed – the material is naturally very soft.

Milk silk is highly moisture-regulating and can be beneficial if you sweat more.

• Moves moisture away from the skin quickly
• Dries much faster than pure cotton
• Helps to keep the fabric feeling drier for longer

Tip:

If you sweat heavily, have several pairs ready to change during the day – that keeps the fresh feeling.

Care: After sweaty days, wash promptly to remove residues from the fibres.

The functional fabric is designed to allow good air and moisture circulation.

• Lightweight fabric with pleasant airflow
• Comfortable for daily wear, office and travel
• Works well in changing temperatures

Tip:

For very hot conditions, lighter colours and thinner models can feel especially pleasant.

Care: Avoid overfilling the washing machine so the fabric stays airy.

The smooth, soft surface is often very comfortable for sensitive or easily irritated skin.

• Minimal friction thanks to silky texture
• Gentle on inner thighs and crotch area
• Good option if you struggle with chafing

Tip:

If your skin is very reactive, choose mild detergents and rinse thoroughly so no residue remains.

Care: Always rinse well and let dry fully before wearing again.

Milk silk feels smoother, dries faster and often feels cooler on the skin than cotton.

• Cotton → natural, familiar feel
• Milk silk → silky, cool and very lightweight
• Milk silk usually dries significantly faster after washing

Tip:

Many people use cotton for everyday basics and milk silk for warm days, travel or workouts.

Care: Treat each fabric according to its care instructions for best results.

The cool feeling and fast-drying fabric make them ideal for hot weather.

• Light, thin fabric for a fresh feel
• Quick moisture transport in heat
• Very comfortable under light summer trousers

Tip:

During heat waves it can be worth rotating several milk silk pairs throughout the day.

Care: After very hot days, always wash to remove sweat and sunscreen residues.

In heated rooms and offices they are also pleasant in winter.

• Comfortable under jeans and dress trousers
• Especially good if you tend to overheat easily
• Warm enough when combined with suitable outer clothing

Tip:

If you get very cold outside, focus on warm trousers, winter shoes and socks – underwear is just one part of the system.

Care: Wash as normal; no special winter care is required.

The material is designed to be shape-retaining and resists stretching when cared for properly.

• Elastic fabric with good recovery
• Fewer wrinkles when you choose the right size
• Suitable for frequent wear and washing

Tip:

Avoid very hot drying cycles – they can weaken functional fibres.

Care: Gentle washing programmes help keep elasticity intact.

Milk silk usually dries much faster than cotton – often within a few hours.

• Short drying time after machine or hand wash
• Practical when time or space for drying is limited
• Ideal for quick overnight drying

Tip:

After washing, gently squeeze out water instead of twisting – the fabric dries quickly and stays smooth.

Care: Hang in a well-ventilated place and avoid direct intense heat.

Because they are light, compact and quick-drying, they are perfect for travelling.

• Take up very little space in luggage
• Easy to wash by hand and dry overnight
• Comfortable for long flights or drives

Tip:

A small set of quick-drying shorts is great for trips where washing facilities are limited.

Care: On the road, wash with lukewarm water and a little mild detergent.

With a close, elastic cut they normally stay in place well, even under slim trousers.

• Body-hugging design without excess fabric
• Less bunching under skinny jeans
• Smooth fabric reduces friction and folding

Tip:

Make sure waistband and trousers work well together – very slippery belts or waistbands can affect how underwear sits.

Care: Wash at a moderate temperature so the fit stays consistent.

Many people experience milk silk as slightly cooling and very fresh on the skin.

• Silky contact with a cool touch
• Less heat build-up in everyday wear
• Comfortable in warm indoor environments

Tip:

If you overheat easily at night, try this fabric for sleepwear as a test.

Care: Keep washing temperatures low to preserve the cool, smooth feel.

Many milk silk fabrics are designed to reduce static build-up.

• Less “clinging” to the skin during everyday wear
• More comfortable under synthetic outerwear
• Fewer static “shocks” when undressing

Tip:

In very dry air, avoid excessive tumble-dryer use, as that can increase static in many materials.

Care: Do not overdose detergent – too much can encourage static effects.

The gliding, smooth fabric can help reduce friction on the inner thighs.

• Less rubbing when walking
• More comfort on longer walks or busy days
• Good option if you often get chafing

Tip:

A close fit also helps prevent friction – very loose cuts move more against the skin.

Care: Gentle cycles keep the surface smooth and comfortable.

With regular washing, they are very suitable as everyday underwear.

• Light feel for work, leisure and travel
• Easy to combine with casual or smart outfits
• No problem wearing them daily if you care for them properly

Tip:

Keep enough pairs on hand so you can wash regularly without running short.

Care: Always wash after a full day of wear, especially in warm conditions.

Just like any underwear, they should be changed at least once a day.

• Change immediately after sport or heavy sweating
• On very hot days, changing more than once can be pleasant
• Fresh underwear supports both hygiene and comfort

Tip:

A small rotation of quick-drying pairs makes frequent changing easy and practical.

Care: Don’t let worn underwear sit for long – wash as soon as possible.

Functional fabrics like milk silk can make odour build-up less noticeable by drying quickly.

• Fast moisture transport reduces sweaty film on the skin
• Quick drying helps to keep the fabric fresher for longer
• However, regular washing is still essential

Tip:

Even if they feel fresh for longer, they should still go into the wash after a full day’s wear.

Care: Mild detergents are usually enough to remove typical odours.

High dryer temperatures can stress functional fibres and shorten their lifespan.

• Prefer air-drying or low-heat programmes
• Reduces the risk of stretching or deformation
• Helps keep the fabric smooth and elastic

Tip:

If you must use a dryer, select a gentle, low-heat cycle.

Care: Air-drying is the most gentle option for functional underwear.

With gentle care, the fabric stays soft, smooth and shape-retaining for a long time.

• Wash at 30–40 °C on a gentle cycle
• Wash with similar colours and avoid harsh bleach
• Air-dry instead of using high tumble-dryer heat

Tip:

Turn boxer shorts inside out before washing – this protects the silky surface and extends their lifespan.

Care: Always check the care label; following it is the easiest way to maintain the special feel of the fabric.
