Exercise boxers and/or shorts for men - Need ball support!

13 replies

I want to buy DP some good quality boxers and/or shorts for Christmas for when he does exercise.

I want ones that are specifically designed for exercise that keep everything tight, tucked and in-place. Sorry if this is TMI but DP is always fucking moaning about often mentions having sore knackers after exercising because everything is bouncing around. He normally wears tight but normal boxers for exercise (i.e. not specifically exercise ones). It seems like these aren't really offering enough support.

In case its useful, DP does HIIT three times a week which involves a mix of cardio, weights, floor work. So I want to get something which is quite flexible but which will offer some ball support.

I've delved into Google but I'm not sure where to start so any help is very gratefully received.

Saxx - expensive but life hanging, according to my husband!

I'm happy to spend ££ if it stops him wanging on about his sore bollocks makes him comfortable

They are very comfortable and his whole collection was gradually replaced over a year of birthday, Christmas, anniversary and Valentine's gifts!!

@DysmalRadius I'm just looking at Saxx now - ready to buy but there are so so many to choose from. What does your DP recommend?

The quiz has suggested 'Sports Mesh' ones but the compression looks quite, well, compressing and I'm worried DP's slightly chubby stomach/hips will get squidged.

But the Vibe ones have a lot more funky colours which I like.

Bloody minefield

Fly type was the priority for mine - once I filtered out the ones he didn't want, it was a lot simpler. Might be time to do some pant-sleuthing!

God, tomorrow is going to be spent tit-high in men's kecks. And not in a good way!

Thank you!

I think your overthinking
they just need to be the fitted ones not the loose ones

unless it a stealth boast any normal fitted boxers should be fine

loose boxers are the equivalent of a woman running with no bra on

Sorry, no help, but this is hilarious 🤣

Do a search for men's trunks rather than boxers. Trunks are snugger fitting, while boxers are often loose. Bamboo seems to be the in material as it allows the balls to breathe apparently.

Under Armour do great ones, they last forever. Apparently they are the ones they give to the US army!

I've heard a number of the menfolk at running recommend runderwear pants
