Men - Boxer briefs and trunks - anything to keep the leg from riding up

[memphislawyer]

Switched from boxers to boxer briefs. SUpport and the fact that the legs of the boxers would ride up. I have Jockey mid-length boxer briefs, poly blend, not quite compression shorts. Still, the leg rides up.

Been reading up on Saxx, and Flint and Tinder and they have trunks. Cotton with some spandex

I have tried Under Armour boxerjock and I dont need compression - the Jockey does enough of that and for the money, I'd go with the Champion version.

Anything in a trunk or a boxer brief (with a shorter leg) that wont ride up?

I wear these. They don't ride up nor do they give one a wedgie.

Jockey makes a variety of boxer briefs and the fit through the thigh on some seems to be better on some models than others. Leg length (and the circumference of your thigh) will have a lot to do with whether or not your shorts ride up. I've found that the best option (for me) are the mid-length boxer briefs with pouch, and horizontal fly. Those with the vertical (or "key hole") fly -- like on the Duluth Trading boxer briefs shown above -- and those with no fly, tend to have the legs ride up the most. The other advantage to the horizontal fly is "easy access", perhaps the greatest virtue of traditional boxer shorts!

I don't follow how a fly can cause the legs to ride up.

I get boxer trunks instead of boxer briefs since the legs are not as long, especially for wearing with jeans.
Chinos or slacks are okay with boxer briefs but I don't care for extra length down my thighs with jeans.
I prefer Hanes tagless...

The front panel of the shorts is cut differently.

That is what I am going to do. I ordered three pair of Saxx brand off Amazon since they were $9 each instead of $27 each at the Saxx website. I am guessing that this is last year's model? No fly on these and they have a modal/cotten blend with the spandex. My Jockeys are 80% polyester and 20% spandex, so we will see.

Flint and Tinder got its start on Kickstarter and are American made and I am trying out two pair, one boxer trunk and one boxer brief. Free shipping too. ANd what is great is that they will take back one used pair and swap them out if I decide I dont like the length of the Boxer brief and want trunks, or vice versa. These are 95% supima cotton and 5% spandex and they have gotten some pretty great reviews. About $22 a pair but some Calvins and 2exist are more
