The Purpose of Wearing Boxer Shorts: A Closer Look at Womens Boxers

by Phillippa Owen on Oct 26, 2023

Boxer shorts, commonly referred to as 'boxers,' have been a staple in men's wardrobes for decades. However, in recent years, the trend has crossed over to women's fashion, with womens boxers becoming increasingly popular. But what exactly is the purpose of wearing boxer shorts? Lets explore why womens boxer shorts are rapidly growing in popularity.

Comfort Reigns Supreme

The primary purpose of wearing boxer shorts is comfort. Unlike other types of underwear that may be restrictive or tight-fitting, boxers offer a fit that allows for optimal airflow and movement. This makes them an ideal choice for those who value comfort above all else in their underwear.

Womens boxer shorts are typically made from soft, breathable materials like bamboo, cotton or silk, which further enhances their comfort level. For women who prefer not to wear restrictive underwear like thongs or briefs, womens boxer shorts provide a comfortable alternative that doesn't compromise on style.

Versatility and Style

Boxer shorts aren't just about comfort; they're also incredibly versatile. They can be worn to sleep in, as loungewear underwear, or even as casual wear on hot summer days underneath your favourite dress.

Womens boxer shorts have seen a surge in popularity due to their versatility. They can be paired with a tank top for a comfy sleepwear set or worn under loose dresses or skirts for added coverage. Plus, with more brands offering womens boxer shorts in stylish designs and feminine colours, they're quickly becoming a fashionable choice for many women.

Health Benefits

Another significant purpose of wearing boxer shorts is the potential health benefits they offer. For women, wearing tight underwear can sometimes lead to yeast infections due to the warm, moist environment it creates. Womens boxer shorts, with their comfortable fit and breathable material, can help to prevent this by allowing for better airflow.

Inclusivity and Body Positivity

In recent years, there's been a shift towards more inclusive and body-positive fashion. This has led to an increase in brands offering womens boxers in all sizes. Unlike other types of underwear that may be designed for specific body types or sizes, boxer shorts are suitable for everyone regardless of their shape or size.

This inclusivity is another reason why many women are choosing womens boxer shorts. They offer a comfortable fit that doesn't dig into the skin or create unwanted bulges. Instead, they gently skim over the body's curves for a flattering and comfortable fit.

Flissie designs womens boxers slightly longer in length so that they're anti chafing for ladies that want to avoid chub rub. You can see Flissie boxers here.

In conclusion, the purpose of wearing boxer shorts extends beyond just being a type of underwear. They offer comfort and versatility while promoting health benefits and inclusivity. Whether you're lounging at home or heading out for a casual day out, boxer shorts are a reliable choice that won't let you down.

Womens boxers have carved out their niche in the world of women's fashion. So if you're looking for a comfortable yet stylish alternative to traditional women's underwear options, why not give womens boxers a try? You might just find your new favorite piece of clothing!

Bamboo Women's Boxer Shorts - Super Soft for Comfort

Life changing

These were the first pair of women boxers I bought and there's no need to keep looking. They are super soft. The colors look great! They fit well. I have worn them under dresses, shorts and pants and they are not visible. They are so comfy that I threw on a large shirt with a pair for sleep as well. I love these!

My new fave

I absolutely love these. The material feels so nice and soft - and they are so thin and breathable for the summer weather. I got one pair in black and the two different greens - they are all gorgeous. The only thing I would say that *could* be a downside depending on your body confidence is that because of the thin-ness of the material, it does tend to show up all your lumps and bumps! For me, well worth the tradeoff for how comfy and light they are, but could be an issue for some! As for me, I'll definitely be ordering more!

My girls love them!

Being a mum of 4 girls I know they all have different tastes! But the one thing they all love are flissie boxers! Finally comfy "boy" pants for "girls" as one of my daughters called them when she found them at ynot a few fears ago! Since then mums been buying them for them for birthdays and Christmas! Love the buy more pay less on line, as it turns them into a bargain! A plus side one of them have pointed out that really sets them apart from others is no bum seam!! Infact because of the soft fabric and how well they are designed and made there are no irritating seams or label! I even treated myself to a pair this time and I must admit they are comfy and perfect for under a dress in this hot weather!!
