Are you hesitating between two sizes of boxer shorts? Are you afraid of feeling too tight or, on the contrary, that they are too loose? Wearing boxer shorts in the right size is essential for your comfort, health and well-being. In this article, discover how to choose the right size of your men's boxer shorts , in order to feel comfortable and enjoy your days with confidence.
Why is it important to choose the right size of boxer shorts?
When you put on a pair of boxers in the morning, they become like a second skin. With every step you take during the day, your boxers should follow you without ever getting in your way and allow you to go about your daily activities without the slightest discomfort. Indeed, there is nothing more unpleasant than feeling too tight in your boxers, or on the contrary, having the impression of losing them!
Underwear that fits your waistline allows you to move freely, which is especially important if you're physically active. It's also a question of aesthetics: choosing well-fitting boxers highlights your figure and avoids unsightly folds and bumps under your clothes.
Why is it bad when it's too tight?
Wearing tight boxers can lead to uncomfortable friction and irritation, and sometimes even problems with blood circulation. According to recent studies, poorly fitting underwear can also have effects on male fertility.
Why is it bad when it's too big?
Boxers that are too loose do not provide the necessary support to the genitals, which can become very uncomfortable especially during active movements. Boxers that are too big are more likely to slide down, which can require frequent adjustments throughout the day, and can be embarrassing, especially if you have to do it in front of other people.
How to choose the right size?
To choose the right boxer shorts, it is essential that you know your exact size. For this, what is better than a tape measure to measure the circumference of your hips? You should also know that sizes can change slightly from one brand to another, but don't worry, there are never big differences!
Next, consider the cut.
- Fitted : this type of boxer shorts is particularly tight, it hugs the shape of the body and offers good support.
- Semi-fitted : is slightly looser than fitted boxers, although it remains close to the body, it offers a good compromise between comfort and support.
- Loose : this type of boxer shorts reduces the risk of chafing and is particularly suitable for men who like to have maximum freedom of movement.
Finally, to choose the right size of men's boxers, use the brands' size guides and don't hesitate to read customer reviews!
