Boxers or Briefs?

Boxerbriefs.

the ideal underwear. None of the wedge and none of the flop.

The worst of both kinds. All the chafing of briefs but your balls still stick to your thigh when you get sweaty.

You must have some shitty ones. Proper fitting boxerbriefs prevent chafing and your balls sticking to your thighs because they won't get in direct contact.

I got a bunch of different kinds of boxer briefs a few years ago, and I learned from that experience that there is a WIDE variety of quality and fit in this category. They really shouldn't chafe or let your balls stick to your thigh, if they do I'd highly recommend trying a different brand or fit or whatever.

Briefs, absolutely. The boxer trend is ridiculous. It's getting hard finding briefs here at all, in Sweden. Imo, it all stems from middle school insecurity. We were all told briefs were gay and so now everyone is using boxers.

i agree with the cause for boxer popularity, but boxer briefs are superior to both imo.

Oh wait, I might be behind on my terminology. What is the difference between boxers and boxer briefs? I think of boxers as the ones with legs, but they are tight. I just realized, according to american movies, that the shorts-style boxers might be popular? Boxers that are not tight fit. Am I correct?

Yeah idk, the shorts style loose boxers were somewhat common among friends in my teens (EU), but I never understood it.
I'm talking about the "sport boxers" aka boxer briefs that are elastic and tight fitting but have legs

Oh that's interesting! Locally in the US I'm always noticing the opposite: it's all briefs or boxer-briefs, rarely boxers.

Briefs for day to day and for exercise. Boxers for full on lazy man mode balls hanging no shirt goblin mode.

+1. I am an avid runner and on running days, I wear briefs. On rest days, I prefer shorts.

Briefs. Actual support. The singular function underwear has.

Boxers are just commando with extra steps. Utterly pointless.

I consider all enlightened boxer brief centrists to be strictly in the briefs camp as boxer briefs are just briefs with leg extensions.

Boxers or boxerbriefs. I just find them more comfortable than briefs personally.

They're also sexier looking than briefs in my opinion. I always feel like I look good with boxers that hug the upper thighs tightly and give a good outline of the bulge.

Briefs. The problems guys complain about re: fit are usually because they're cheap and/or don't fit well. Find the right pair of briefs, and it's like wearing nothing at all. And nothing bunching up your legs either.

Depends on the weather

I haven't worn underwear since 2010 but if I had to choose it would be briefs because there is less fabric.

Briefs all the way. I have to have separation between my balls and thighs, it's way too annoying and uncomfortable for me to have them stick to my leg.

Also I need to lose some weight, cause my thighs rub together when I walk, and briefs help make that more comfortable.

Saxx solves this (and I think a few other brands) by giving your balls a pouch. Super comfortable and adds the comfort of boxers.
