Men's Boxer Trunks

Compare men's trunks and close-fitting boxers

Trunks are short boxers that fit close to the body. They offer more coverage than a brief, but have a shorter leg length than many traditional boxer briefs. This makes them suitable for men who want a compact, modern boxer without much extra fabric around the thighs.

What is the difference between a trunk and a boxer?

The term boxer is used broadly. A loose boxer short has a relaxed fit, while a boxer brief sits close to the body and usually has a longer leg. A trunk is also close-fitting, but shorter. Brands do not always use these terms in exactly the same way, so always check the product photos and description.

Fit, rise and pouch

A trunk can sit low on the hips or closer to the natural waist. The pouch also varies: some styles provide firm support, while others offer more room at the front. The leg openings should lie flat without feeling uncomfortably tight.

Materials for comfort or a distinctive look

Cotton feels soft and familiar. Polyamide and polyester are smoother and are often used for colour, prints, mesh and sporty designs. TOF Paris, CODE 22 and SUPAWEAR each have a recognizable approach, while MODUS VIVENDI varies widely in cut and material.

Alternatives to a trunk

If you want to keep the thighs completely free, view the men's briefs. For less coverage there are thongs and G-strings and jockstraps. Combinations and colour sets can be found among the multipacks.
