i have never owned a pair of boxer shorts. always wore the briefs. thinking about switching.

my question is, how do you know what size to get? same size as briefs? same as pants size?

they are sized like small, medium, large, etc, right?

Me too. Comfort of a boxer but support of a brief :D

I wear 34X32's (loosely) and large boxers if it helps.

--edit--

And I really HATE boxer briefs. I only ever wear them if I'm playing sports. The boys need some support.

I prefer boxer-briefs when wearing jeans but boxers with everything else. Boxer sizes normally run the same as briefs so just stick with your typical size.

I do suggest getting boxers that have at least one button on the fly though. They look better and help keep things in check. ;)

do you also wear large briefs/boxer briefs? just trying to see if they correlate in size because i don't think you can return used underwear or ebven try it on, lol.

I'd recommend not getting boxers with a button, but that's just me.

EDIT: OP: they come in S/M/L, but they also have sizes listed (e.g., 30-32). I wear the same as my pants waist size or a little bit smaller. EDIT2: Boxer briefs, that is. I don't care for boxers.

I dunno, haven't worn briefs for a few years but I'd assume so. You *can* return boxers to walmart. Permitting you never "wore" them. My roommates girlfriends Mom works there and had him do it when she bought him the wrong size. Yes, of course he had already tried them on. But you don't need to try them all on =/

Look at the tag on the boxers... it'll give a size and probably a waist size too. I have a 32-34" waist and wear medium boxers (usually wear briefs though - same size)
