Well fitting comfortable boxers

    Just wondering if anyone knows where i can get some well fitting boxer shorts without spending an arm and a leg.

    I've a few pairs of FCUK/Calvin Klien jocks that are extremely comfortable but don't really have the cash to go out and buy 5 or 6 new pairs at the moment for 20 odd quid each. I've looked in TK Maxx but they're always out of size Large when i go in!

    I've even slummed it and gone to Penny's in search of elusive comfortable jocks but im at a loss! Im a size 32 waist and bought Large but they are too tight around the thighs. they were cheap so went back and bought xl but still the same issue.

    Dunnes aren't much better either.

    Im also prefer the cotton stretchy type usually found on the Calvin Klein jocks rather then that other type of material with no give in them but it seems unless i want to fork out minimum of 20 quid for a single pair i'm stuck with ill fitted underwear that i'm forever adjusting while at my desk in work! Not a good look :pac:

    Any suggestions??

    My bf usually buys his in Tesco (or I have to get them for him there). They seem like good quality and they are nice and soft, and good value too.

    I'm a big fan of the brand Jockey. They are probably a bit cheaper than Calvin Klein, but not by much. Don't know what stores stock them in Ireland, as I'll always get mine in the US when I'm over there.

    I know it probably sounds stupid but i really have a hard time finding comfortable boxers without forking out a fair swedge for them! at this time of year i just cant justify 5 or 6 pairs at 20 quid each!

    Someone suggested H&M to me yesterday, i think i will try there tomorrow! The problem is i have a small enough waist but thick thighs so either the waist is too large on the jocks that fit my legs or vice versa :rolleyes:

    Usually a longer cut boxer fits well but again its usually only the designer brands that do these!

    Penny's have comfortable ones. Some percentage Lycra. Holds everything in place and no wedgie

    Ah as i said in my original post i've tried theirs... Large and XL but they are too tight around my thighs as the boxers are all cut too short! Even the XL felt like little boys jocks on ha!

    Ted baker all the way,I wouldnt buy anything else now tbh.

    Tkmaxx have ted baker ones all the time, but as you said the sizes are always a bit off.Id just keep going in their regularly to check stock, maybr find out off staff the days that stock is most rotated too.

    The thing I like about ted baker boxers is that if you have a small waist (30 myself) the medium wont crush your balls, theres a fair bit of play in them.

    M+S for the best cost/quality balance in my extensive experience. Decent selection of varying lengths too

    Just to follow up, i went to H&M and got their standard white shorts! Very comfortable! 3 pairs for 12 quid, ya cant go wrong! Also got some FCUK ones in TKMAXX too, definitely my favourite brand of boxers!
