Bike-shortsesque boxer briefs?
I'm a fairly young lad who has discovered the joys of boxer briefs just recently. I bought a pair of Hanes and Fruit of the Loom, but they both stretch like crazy, to the point where they don't even hold around my legs anymore and ride up into my ass. Do you guys have any suggestions for boxer briefs that actually hold their ploace around the thighs, that aren't made for biking?

I wear old fashioned long john (the ones with the "flap in the back") on colder rides..
Just tryin' to make the topic conform to the topic of the forum (cycling)
Hey Supahjew. Are you sure you don't want to submit that question on Fruit-of-the-loom Talk instead. You might get a more favorable response.

I use Hanes boxer briefs even when I ride. Never had any issues. They only ride up when I ride long distances. Maybe try one size smaller. A 3 pack costs like 6 bucks, might as well try it out.
