What are Boxer Shorts for Ladies? An Intro to Womens Boxers

by Phillippa Owen on Oct 27, 2023

The world of women's underwear is vast and varied, with a plethora of styles to choose from. One style that has gained significant popularity in recent years is boxer shorts. But what exactly are ladies boxers? This blog post aims to answer that question and delve deeper into the world of womens boxers.

Understanding Womens Boxers

Boxers for women, commonly referred to as womens boxers or boxer shorts for women, are a type of underwear that offers more comfort and coverage than traditional panties. They are designed to be comfortable and non-restrictive whilst being body positive. 

Womens boxers come in various materials such as cotton, bamboo, silk, satin, or synthetic blends. They also feature different designs ranging from plain colors to fun prints and patterns. The rise in popularity of womens boxers can be attributed to their comfort factor and the growing trend towards gender-neutral clothing.

Different Types of Womens Boxers

There's more than one type of womens boxers available on the market today. Here's a look at some popular styles:

1. Boxer Briefs: A hybrid between traditional briefs and boxers, these provide full coverage while maintaining a snug fit around the hips. Due to their longer length they're great as anti-chafing shorts to remove chub rub from your life. Plus they won't ride up your leg or dig in to your crotch. Boxer briefs are the ultimate comfort option when it comes to womens boxers, check out Flissie boxers here.

2. Boyshorts: Boyshorts are a type of womens boxers that offer a shorter on the leg fit. They resemble men’s briefs in design but are tailored to fit the female body shape.

3. Bloomer Shorts: These womens boxers have an old-school charm about them with their loose fit and frilly edges. They offer freedom of movement and are more like pyjama shorts.

The Benefits of Wearing Womens Boxers

Now that we've answered the question, "What are ladies boxers?" let's delve into why they're a great choice for women.

1. Comfort: Womens boxers are designed to be breathable and non-restrictive, providing unparalleled comfort. They allow for better airflow compared to more fitted underwear styles, reducing the risk of yeast infections.

2. Versatility: Womens boxers can double up as sleepwear or loungewear, making them a versatile addition to any wardrobe.

3. Style: With a wide range of designs and prints available, womens boxers can be just as stylish as they are comfortable.

4. Body positivity: Unlike other types of underwear that may emphasize body shape and size, womens boxers offer a relaxed fit that promotes body positivity.

Womens boxers, whether you call them boxer briefs, boyshorts or bloomer shorts, are an excellent choice for any woman seeking comfort and style in her underwear drawer. They offer numerous benefits from improved comfort to promoting body positivity. So next time you're shopping for new underwear, why not consider adding a pair (or three and get the added benefit of donating a pair to vulnerable women) of womens boxers to your collection?

Bamboo Women's Boxer Shorts - Super Soft for Comfort
Chrisi (United Kingdom)
Great fit

Needed something comfortable to wear to stop chaffing between my legs. My daughter recommended these. Also wanted a plain light colour so not to show through clothing. I was concerned about the elastic that covers my belly button as I sometimes have soreness there, but so far so good, no issues. Also other concern was the length of the legs as I am only 5’1”. They hide nicely under shorts. Overall really pleased with them

Best purchase

I’ve been wearing Flissie boxers for a week now and will never go back! I’m out walking a lot and needed something that would keep me cool and prevent the dreaded chub rub. I cannot fault Flissie on their wonderful products and will definitely be purchasing more in the future
