i switched back recently after my hydrocele repair, they are a lot comfier

Probably when I was 9 I remember seeing two of the "cooler" kids in my year wearing them and I asked my mum if I could swap and she bought 2 pairs to start off with then I realized it was so much more comfortable then briefs.

I'm pretty sure I've always worn boxers. I've never been embarrassed by my underwear.

From a tender age of 15 still wear the briefs occasionally

Probably secondary school , everyone would take the pee if you wear undies! :lol:

I recently ventured into the shops though and picked up a set of what I thought were boxers... turned out to be briefs :colonhash:

So I guess I wear those , just a bit restrictive on ye olde package!

Switched to boxers when I was 7, to boxer briefs when I was 15 and back to briefs when I was 19. Does anyone actually still wear loose boxers in this day and age?

Ok this one's for the lads. At what age did you stop wearing pants/briefs and start wearing boxers? And why did you make the switch?

Can you remember any times at school when you were embarrassed by your underwear? Perhaps changing for P.E.

Probably about 8? I was the first in my class to get them and one day we went swimming and when I got back to the changing room my boxers were missing and there was a boy in my class sat next to my stuff. I confronted him and he was actually wearing them :lolwut:

****ing weirdo. I told him he could keep them and he just said thanks :confused:

I've always worn briefs. Tried boxers and boxer-briefs but prefer y-fronts.

I've always wondered why boxers are called boxers...

Because they are similar to the type of shorts a boxer would wear. Elastic waistband and baggy legs for unrestricted movement

What's the point in wearing them then? They just sound uncomfortable to me. :erm:

As a woman who sometimes wears mens boxers they are the most comfortable underwear item ever.

I don't wear boxers as such - I wear trunks which are far more 'secure'. If I wear boxers when playing sports my junk gets tossed around everywhere and it's really distracting. I also think that trunks are far more comfortable.

I'm sure they are comfortable for a woman who doesn't have to worry about jake getting out of his cage.

I don't wear them all the time, just sometimes. Mainly when I am just lounging around at home.

I wear the trunks type. They're not trunks really, simply boxer briefs which fit tight. Mine are black.

I switched when I was 19 from briefs which was very late to switch. Most guys switch several years younger.
