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?

Compression shorts (Under Armour, Nike Pro, etc)

Heh, no, I was just inquiring about comfortable underwear!

I wear boxer briefs under my riding shorts.... I feel like it absorbs the sweat better and makes it more comfortable on longer rides

Big Mistake! Far better is to wear them over, they then absorb all the sweat that escapes and provide extrea surface area for wicking. Just make sure they match your jersey.

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 already wear my tighty whiteys over my cycling shorts... you think those along with boxer briefs would be over kill??

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.
