Cotton Boxer Shorts

Inspired by men’s boxers but tailored for women, these relaxed-fit cotton shorts are perfect for staying comfortable all day long. They sit mid-rise with a comfy elastic waistband, giving full coverage with a low, straight cut on the legs, giving you room to move and breathe.
Our community told us they loved the look and feel of our boxers, but that the central seam wasn’t as comfortable as it could be. So, we took action - and redesigned the fit from the inside out. The result? More comfort, less irritation, and a better everyday underwear experience.
Bamboo Boxer Shorts

- Fabric: Ultra-soft bamboo viscose blend
Soft, breathable, and kind to skin, our bamboo boxer shorts are a dream to wear. Bamboo is naturally moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating, so you stay cool and comfy all day. With a flexible waistband and smooth finish, these are perfect for sensitive skin.
