Bamboo Underwear With Long Legs – Guide

Short answer: Underwear with long legs covers more of the thigh than ordinary boxer shorts and stops your thighs rubbing against each other or against your trousers. In bamboo viscose you also get a soft, breathable layer that keeps you dry.

Who benefits from the long legs?

Underwear with long legs — often called boxer briefs — is an obvious choice for men who get chafing thighs, walk a lot during the day or simply want more support around the thigh. The leg stays in place and does not roll up. See the styles in the range of bamboo underwear for men.

Long legs or long johns?

Do not confuse boxer briefs with long johns: boxer briefs end mid-thigh, while bamboo long johns go all the way down to the ankle and are worn as a warm base layer in winter. If you just want to avoid chafing, boxer briefs are the right choice — if you want to stay warm, read about bamboo as a base layer in winter.

Why bamboo works against chafing

Chafing happens when damp skin rubs against skin. Bamboo viscose moves the sweat away and puts a smooth, soft layer between your thighs, so the friction drops noticeably. Find the right size with help from our size guide.
