I have a question for you guys about boxer shorts

[MX2]

While browsing clothes for Christmas gifts, I noticed something about men's boxer shorts. Some of them had a button or two at the fly opening, and some did not.

Do things "peak out" from the opening and is it uncomfortable if you buy the kind without a button?

I'm being serious. I dont want to buy a gift for a gentlemen without knowing this.

the trap dorr is fvcking useless

go with the botton or better yet sewed

Personally I don't like the type with the button.

It's more of a hassle to unbutton and button it up again when you go to the john. Not to mention the frustration of unbuttoning if you really need to go.

Non trapdoor user here.

To answer your question, not normally, no. We dress left or right and it normally stays that way.

Things do occasionally peak out if you don't have the button. The button is still horrible, and I never wear the boxers with buttons.

Boxer briefs for the win. No buttons allowed.

I hate the button and leave it open but like most guys their equipment 'hangs' on one side or the other so it doesn't usually cause an issue.

I don't use the trap-door, I think it's pretty useless. As for "poking out," it's not something I've experienced...

Button's always good. Keeps you covered around the family.

one button, it keeps it in and is easy to get undone

but most of the time I wear shorts and I just breing it over the top anyways

Another vote for boxer briefs. I made the switch and will never go back.

I've always been a fan of the button.

shorts without a fly or something?

Doesn't matter to me, the button is a pain when you really gotta go but otherwise it's fine. Very rarely I flop out normally the equipment hangs below the fly or to the side a bit so it doesnt pop out.

..velcro fly??

 

[PingSpike]

I don't know why people hate the button so much...its always popping out without it. Besides, if you don't like the button...don't button it, and you're in the same boat as before.
