Briefs or boxers, this is the question.

I am what many call a creature of habit. When I find something I like I stick with it because often when I "change it up" I am disappointed and end up back to my previous choice.

I clearing out my sock drawer, every year or so I throw all my socks away, (or as soon as more than one pair start to drift down because of elastic failure and bunch up under my heels, there is nothing more annoying than that) and buy my 20-30 replacement pairs that set me up for the next year or so. At this point I thought it was about time to do the same with my briefs. Looking for my normal brand and model I noticed that many places don't carry the briefs and have an abundance of boxers instead. Got me thinking am I old school or out of fad wanting to stick to my briefs, formally known as "tighty whities' lol although I have upgraded to coloured briefs.

Brings me to my poll. Which do your prefer, briefs or boxers. Multiple answer to the second question is life span. And I guess life span with be directly correlated with quantity on hand. The more pairs you have the less you would wear each in any given time period.

Logically thinking if one person had 10 pair of underwear and another had 20 pair the person with 20 would replace them half as often since they would only have half the wear/wash cycles. So lets base the replacement on average personal having lets say 10 pair. You can do your own calculations from there. I myself have 20 pair so will answer with half the expected lifespan since based on 10 pair.

I've been buying Saxx since they were on Dragon's Den. They started as a local BC Company and I think they are still located here. The fit, quality and fabrics are great for me.

Turns out the one I get the most is a boxer brief. I either get a high content of cotton or merino. Both quite breathable and wicks away moisture.

They are expensive but when I look at the older pairs > 5 years old, they are still in great shape and built to last. I throw out 3 - 4 pair a year as their elasticity decreased over time.

Thanks for that info. I think I will give a few pairs a try. When I was on Saxx website and looking at options I noticed something I wish I could add to the poll. Optional when buying Saxx underwear is "Fly or no fly"

Does anyone actually use the flap at the front when taking a leak? I think I remember trying it once on twice in my life and found it a pain and skipped to the pulldown technique. Maybe easier to do with boxers than briefs.

Maybe this is just to much useless information that doesn't deserve its own post/thread :tape::noidea:

The problem I have with the front flap is finding the end of the hose when it's half way down my leg. I had a pair with a horizontal flap once that completely solved the problem.
