Boxer Shorts With Extra Length – Long Boxer Briefs for Men

Short answer: Boxer shorts with extra length – also called boxer briefs – give longer legs than ordinary boxer shorts and therefore better coverage and less chafing. In bamboo viscose they are also soft and breathable enough to wear all day.

Why choose extra length?

The longer leg has three advantages: it does not chafe between the thighs, it rolls up less under your trousers, and it feels more supportive around the thigh. That is why boxer briefs have become many men's preferred everyday style. See the range of bamboo underwear for men, where you find styles with longer legs.

For everyday life, work and activity

Boxer briefs are especially good on days with a lot of steps — walks, physical work or a long day on the go. The bamboo viscose moves sweat away, so you avoid that clammy feeling. Read why bamboo generally beats cotton and polyester on active days in our post on bamboo for training.

Does it need to be even longer?

If your legs get cold in winter, you can go one step further to bamboo long johns, which cover the whole leg under your trousers. For the rest of the year, boxer briefs strike the balance between coverage and freedom. Our guide to the right fit in underwear helps you choose.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between boxer shorts and boxer briefs?

Boxer briefs have longer legs and end mid-thigh, where ordinary boxer shorts end higher up. That gives better coverage and less chafing.

Do boxer briefs roll up under your trousers?

Far less than short boxer shorts. The longer leg with a good elastic edge stays in place, even when you move a lot.

Are bamboo boxer briefs too warm in summer?

No. Bamboo viscose is breathable and moisture-wicking, so bamboo boxer briefs can be worn all year round without feeling warm.
