Hey guys
I guess CK, Fruit of the Loom and Joe Boxer and among some of the best brands in quality out there. Any other good quality brands?
And where is the best place to get these cheap, cuz when you build up a supply it ain't gonna be cheap if it's a t $10 a piece (eek!). Brands like CK seems to sell them individually.
I'm guessing Costco/Winners are the cheapest??

Maybe flea market has some cheaper ones with brand names.

which flea markets?
So Walmart sells brand names for cheap? Or just the cheaper brands?
Ebay sells CK for (including shipping) about $50 USD for 5 boxer-briefs.

No, Wal-Mart.
I don't think Wal Mart sells Joe Boxer. Even if they do, I think Costco is still cheaper.

Do any of you guys wear under armour type dri fit boxers when playing sports?
I find my normal boxers get wet when I'm cycling.

how about CK and Fruit of the Loom?
For Joe Boxer would you go ebay instead of Costco?

Sets of 3 (or is it 2?) of Fruit of the Loom at Wally World's is under $10. Quality of FotL is pretty good, but I prefer the Gap comfort. I haven't bought Gap stuff in a long while so I'm unsure on the price.

I just got a pair for a "friend" at Winners. Joe Boxers and they were only $5.99 but the price on the back said $13.99 or something like that. They also had Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger ones. I love boxer briefs! Good choice!

I don't buy from ebay.
I don't buy Joe Boxer anymore because I found its quality is not that great in terms of it wears out faster than ... Prodige which I can also buy from Costco and in lower price. Of course, Prodige is on sale (with those coupons) at least once a year.

If you can get to the US, sometimes Target has deals on Hanes boxer briefs (both hidden and non hidden elastic), bout a month ago they had packs of 5 for $2.98 US, I stocked up then.

I have a few pairs of Gap boxers and I really like them. They are good quality and I think Gap has them on sale from time to time for about $6-7 for one but you must buy three I think ?
It has been a while since I last bought boxers.

Cycling?? You should really do yourself a favour and buy some padded cycling shorts. They don't need to be a skin, you can get baggies with Padding. Or get yourself some of these
Cycling Liner Shorts (http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=84552444249 9525&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302692435&bmUID=1157581504218)

I think target.com carries briefs but not boxer-briefs.

I generally wear... (hmmm... let me check)... Hanes Classics sport boxers briefs - I get them at The Bay - they have huge sales once or twice a year.
I think my best pair were some Fubu Sport boxer briefs - I bought a pair to try but couldn't find them any more!
At the gym, I just wear Jockey briefs (with pants on top - smart asses!)

just went to walmart today, they had 4 pairs of Hanes for $16. Pretty soft but I hear some people say that they don't last long.
Also saw Fruit of the Loom but the material seemed a bit rougher.

Jockeys are pretty comfortable. They aren't that expensive either from what I remember. The Bay usually has Jockey's on sale for 25% off most of the time.

yes...jockeys are way comfy, especially the ones with the lil cut on the thigh which stretches and makes it a bit more comfy

Fruit of the Loom is pretty bad (or at least used to be) - the fabric and elastic wears out rather fast.
Then again I was a kid and I had no idea what I did with them :)
I've been using the same 10 pairs of Hanes for about 5 years now... still in good condition. Mint! I'll sell them in the forums.

I wear mostly just Joe Boxers and some fruit of the loom which both last a fair amount of time but old navy ones are horrible.

+1 to gap boxers briefs. if you dont mind the funky colors you'll definitely score some sales. black and white boxers from the gap rarely goes on sale. they do have them in promo most of the time.

I like Prodige from The Bay. Not the cheapest, but very comfortable.

if you like CK get them from winners for a fraction of what the bay or other dept stores sell it

I've tried quite a few brands, I like the "Sport/Athletic" versions from Jockey (Ribbed) and Hugo Boss.

is it just me, or does the elastic wrap effect on your leg from Hanes boxer briefs disappear after the first wash??? I actually felt sexy lol in them until they washed and the elastic wore out and I went ASAP from boxer-briefs to boxers...

Try thongs, you won't have that problem.
