I guess boxer briefs are still the most popular today.....the support of briefs with the modesty and tradition of boxers!!......I sorta remember when they became popular about 20 or 30 years ago??.....
I tried boxers for two or three miserable days in my 20s.....way too much material that became bunched up when I put pants on and then I had to tuck/push all that material back down my pants and legs......
here in the warm southwest, I usually go commando.....don't like tight underwear and don't like boxers.....cool, comfortable, easy.......
