"...a compromise between the two main types of male underwear in the United Kingdom, United States and Canada." Shouldnt the countries be in alphabetical order? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.240.103.136 ( talk • contribs) 22 June 2006
Does this article really need every manufacturer under the sun listed? JonEastham 17:29, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Is there a valid reason for including a photo of an alleged 13 year old child in boxerbriefs? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.81.135.206 ( talk) 14:57, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
As well, does this page really need five pictures of men in boxer briefs, with one being a teenage boy and another of a guy's clearly outlined and half erect penis? 70.67.2.56 ( talk) 01:36, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
This is an article on boxer briefs. I don't see why there's any reason not to have variations in style and function shown here. — Peco! Peco! TALK 16:39, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Delete ALL the pictures of the men wearing boxer-briefs, and instead... upload more pictures of the different styles of boxer-briefs. I mean pictures of ONLY the clothing. There should also be a section of the evolution of boxer briefs. This sounds dumb, but it is true. They were originally available in only Classic White, and then solid colors, and now there are patterns and designs similar to boxer-shorts. Also, what happened with the section where it said that Boxer-Briefs have had a rise in popularity over the past decade, and also in various countries????? The number of Boxer-Brief sales is now tied with Boxer-Shorts. And no I don't have any sources to provide. In-Correct ( talk) 16:23, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

"Boxer briefs were first sold around 1990[citation needed]. Prior to this time, only a few underwear manufacturers made boxer briefs, but they were actually called mid-length briefs or thigh-length briefs." So, prior to 1990 a few manufacturers were making boxer briefs without selling them? -- 81.132.134.191 ( talk) 22:56, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
Information needs to be fixed. Anyone can grab a quote from somewhere, it dosnt mean that the information is actually true. It depends what you actually call boxer briefs, and NEW. Boxer briefs up to above the knees existed and were an "older" style of underwear, but they were not not tight.
All the "designer" did was made them shorter, and made them tighter/elasticized like tighty "whities" that were popular until the mid 1990's and which were in style since the late 1960's. By the mid to late late 1980's the close to knee length, underwear that didn't have a a lot of elasticity to them (and became droopy quickly), they were seen as grandfather underwear (like long johns), as opposed to the tight fitting clothes of the 1970's/ 80's. I actually saw a pair that was bought for a family member as a kid and it was not worn, as it was seen as antique, old mens clothes. I was shocked to see them later as high fashion. By the mid 80's they were seen as old fashion mens cloths
He did not invent anything, he shortened a older style of mens underwear and made it more elasticized/ tighter like a brief.
They are sometimes called "trunks" in the United Kingdom and Australia. and you can add english commonwealth countries. Versions of these were around since the 1950's as swimwear, before speedos.
There seems to be a continuation of trunks/swimwear/ boxer briefs and the other side speedos/ tight briefs.
This line that was written and removed is 1000% percent true. "Prior to this time, only a few underwear manufacturers made boxer briefs, but they were actually called mid-length briefs or thigh-length briefs." Starbwoy ( talk) 18:10, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
According to this article, boxer briefs are looser than 'classic' briefs. However, in my experience they are both equally snug. Perhaps some people are wearing the wrong size. BlackAdvisor ( talk) 14:33, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
is it worth mentioning that some UK companies market them under the title "hipsters"? rossb ( talk) 22:43, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
I have inserted a subsection on the swimwear version in this article because I think it could most likely be found. These are made out of spandex or nylon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Teknikingman ( talk • contribs) 08:08, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
The citation now disagrees with the current article edition because one key point is that it is a bad idea to wear nylon underwear. [1] roger that with signiture (see if it works) Teknikingman ( talk) 11:33, 26 October 2019 (UTC) There are hundreds of online mentions denoting boxer style swimwear as aquashorts, but they are commercial, non commercial is scanty. There really is not much argument though. It means longer than swimtrunks but shorter than jammers.( Teknikingman ( talk) 14:46, 26 October 2019 (UTC))
Roger that, have a good one ( Teknikingman ( talk) 09:59, 29 October 2019 (UTC))
