Boxer Shorts For Men

Way back in 1975, boxer shorts for men became the cause of an urban legend, which event inspired a song by the singer Zoot Fenster, “The Man on Page 602”. The song was an instant hit around the time of Christmas in that year. 

Boxers are available in a variety of fabrics, such as cotton, silk, polyester blends, satin, and are a great alternative to other shorts due to their comfort and the availability of a wide range of designs and styles.


Designs and types of boxer

  • Most boxer shorts come with a fly button in front, and a couple of ways to close the fly, either by metal snaps or by buttons. In buttons, they come with a single, double or, triple button option. This design for boxer shorts is generally known as “closed-fly design”.
  • Usually, the material used for boxers is not that stretchy like elastic short and hence a comfortable panel of soft fabric is loosely fitted at the centre rear portion of the boxer. This portion is known as the “balloon seat”. The main purpose of this portion is to make every movement of the wearer including bending forward more easy and comfortable.
  • The sewing design for boxer shorts is generally made with the use of a seat panel having two seams continuing on the entire rear outer edges of the boxer. This is the most popular sewing style used in boxer pants for men.
  • One of the less popular designs for boxer shorts is “gripper boxers”. The elastic waistband is common in this type of boxers like the regular ones but they usually have 3 snaps placed on the waistband and fly as well. It is that mechanism that helps the wearer to completely open up the boxer.
  • There is one more rare type of boxer known as “yoke front” type. They have a similar kind of waistband yoke used in gripper boxers but the yoke has triple snaps for the closing purpose. As in this type of boxer, the fly provided is just for show and does not accomplish any closure mechanism. Yoke front boxers can further be classified into two types, elastic-band type, and tie-sides type.With a lot of variety in boxers as discussed above, the one which confuses the users the most is whether to buy boxers with pockets or without pockets. But it doesn’t have to be hard to solve when you know the purpose of both, and when you know what you are looking for.

    Advantages of boxers with pockets

  •  As obvious as it sounds, the biggest advantage of boxers with pockets is that you can hold various items in them while outdoors, like your smartphone, wallet, handkerchief, and more.
  •  Boxers with pockets look modern and more fashionable in a time when every other wearable has pockets as well. 

Advantages of boxers without pockets

  • These boxers are more suited for people who do not carry things and like to stay free of stuff while in their neighbourhood. 
  • If you wish to have a comfortable sleep wearing your boxer, then you must select this type.


There is no right or wrong choice in both these kinds of boxers. It depends on your purpose, what you prefer and feels more comfortable with. 

Medical Benefit of Boxer

Medical studies suggest high temperature and pressure are not the optimal conditions for the production of sperm. Testicles are so situated that they remain outside the main human body for cooling. They are at a lower body temperature to operate optimal sperm production. Wearing a boxer allows them to be in a relatively lower temperature than the body and ensures proper fertility.

Nowadays, there is an abundance of items that can replace traditional boxers, such as Boxer Briefs, Boxer pants for men, Briefs, Thongs, Tights, etc. But contemporary boxer shorts for men will always be a comfortable choice.
