Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between men’s boxer shorts and briefs?
Boxer shorts offer a looser, breathable fit with more coverage, while briefs provide a snug, supportive fit. Boxers are great for everyday comfort, while briefs are ideal for sport or when you need maximum support.
Are bamboo boxer shorts better than cotton?
Bamboo boxer shorts are softer, more breathable, and naturally antibacterial, which helps reduce odour and irritation. Cotton boxers are durable and classic, making them great for everyday wear. Both are excellent choices — it depends on whether you prefer softness and sustainability (bamboo) or traditional comfort (cotton).
Should men sleep in loose fit boxer shorts?
Yes. Loose fit cotton boxers are lightweight and breathable, making them a popular choice for sleeping. They allow airflow and comfort without restriction, helping you stay cool overnight.
What underwear is best for sport or the gym?
Briefs and bamboo boxer shorts are best for sport as they offer support, stretch, and moisture-wicking properties. They keep everything in place while reducing chafing, making them ideal for workouts or running.
How do I choose the right size men’s underwear?
Check the size guide to find your perfect fit. Underwear should feel snug around the waist without digging in, and the fabric should stretch comfortably with your body. OddBalls men’s underwear is available in sizes XXS to 3XL.
How should I wash men’s boxer shorts and briefs?
Wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and tumble dryers, as high heat can damage elasticity. Air drying helps keep your underwear soft and long-lasting.
How often should men replace underwear?
Most experts recommend replacing men’s underwear every 6–12 months, or sooner if the fabric loses elasticity, becomes worn, or no longer feels supportive.
Are colourful boxer shorts as comfortable as plain ones?
Yes. Comfort comes down to fabric and fit, not colour. OddBalls offers both plain cotton essentials and bold patterned designs, all made with the same soft, breathable materials.
