Neither style, nor beauty, but, Men's boxers

So, since I had my first kid, and a c-section, and discovered that DP's jersey boxers were bloody comfortable, I've pretty much only worn boxers (I may finally go and get some nicer pants.. but still, for the hot weekends, I wander around in boxers)

BUT. Every set we've bought has developed holes at the waistband or worse, crotch in about 6 months (and we buy plenty - they're not being over washed/worn)

Who does the best jersey boxers? We've bought Asda/Tesco/Sainsburies with no noticable quality difference - would sloggi or M&S or something be better? Or do we just resign ourselves to a 6 month renew cycle (I repair a lot of stuff, but I do draw the line at pants)

No.....I couldn't bring myself to wear men's undies. I like the shorts (for ladies!) from M&S, nice and comfy and low cut if that's what you need.

You share undies with your DP? Nope, it's not for me!

DP likes Ralph Lauren jersey boxers, the ones that come in individual boxes (the three packs have cheaper / nastier elastic around the waist that pinches) as they are "soft". They last well and never do the fabric separating from the waistband thing (when they go, they go at the crotch seam - but they have lasted years so well worth the expense. Up to half-price in department store sales at the moment). Sizes come up small.

Thanks Locked - I shall check them out.

And to the others - I bought some women's pants recently (the weird seam-free ones) and they just ride up and seemed so thin - mens boxers just seem to work better for me!
