It seems that men are no longer satisfied with any old fabric and underwear manufacturers are rising to the demand and are producing a much broader range of boxer shorts that incorporate the latest technical fabrics. HOM fashion are even producing a range of underwear called ‘Light Colours’ made from fabric that have an anti bacterial property to it and fit like a second skin with silk like feel.

So what is on offer and what is driving the demand? There are trunks, boxer shorts, maxis, boxer briefs and hipsters to name just a few. However, what does seem apparent is there is much less of what we regard as the traditional boxer short. Much, if not 90% of what is marketed as boxer shorts nowadays is almost certainly going to incorporate a degree of lycra that produces a snug and close fitting pair of boxers. These seem to be one of the most popular styles of underwear for men and it appears that this is largely because of the fantastic level of support and control that they offer men in the ‘giggleberries’ department.
