BY FIT

Boxers

The boxer model is a true classic that suits all body types, often with a medium waist and medium length legs. In this case, we are referring to the type of boxer briefs, which are a mix between traditional boxer shorts and trunks. They are tight in the waist and are slightly longer in the legs.

It is flexible underpants, not as revealing as briefs and which offers high support around the thighs. The added fabric between your legs also allows you to avoid chafing.

Nice stretch, perfect fit and maximum comfort are important features when it comes to boxers, and of course for all types of underpants. It is also important to choose the right size, as too big leads to extra fabric that bunches up, while too small can easily give you chafing and feel uncomfortable.

Trunks

Trunks are a shorter version of boxer briefs and are a style that has grown in popularity. If you think that briefs are a little too short and revealing, but also don't want to have as long legs as boxers, then trunks are the perfect middle ground.

The fit is usually a slightly lower waist and shorter legs that reach just past the crotch area. Trunks also work very well if you have tight pants. Trunks are best worn by men who are a bit narrower across the thighs, those with larger thighs can often find that the pant legs on these ride up when you walk.

An additional advantage for guys with narrower legs is that trunks' tight and tight fit means that there is no excess fabric around the thighs.

Briefs

Briefs, sometimes also called Y-front, are the shortest model of underpants, with full coverage at the back and with the upper part of the thigh and the side of the leg exposed.

They give you a lot of support and comfort, and are also an appreciated model if you have larger thighs. The design and cut of the briefs mean that they also work very well for those of you who often wear tight pants.

The high support and fit make these sporty underpants very suitable for cardio training, with maximum mobility and a comfortable feel.

Our Björn Borg briefs in cotton and elastane have a medium waist and short legs, plus a soft microfibre elastic.

Loose Boxers

Comfortable and relaxed-fit undergarment designed for everyday wear. Crafted from soft and breathable materials, loose boxers offer ample room for movement and breathability, making them ideal for those seeking a more relaxed fit. With a non-constricting waistband and a generous cut, these boxers provide all-day comfort without sacrificing style. Whether worn casually or as part of your daily routine, loose boxers from Björn Borg offer both comfort and style in equal measure.

BY FABRIC

Are you looking for a pair of underpants with a luxurious feel? Then you should take a closer look at Premium Cotton Stretch, comfortable underpants in long-fibre organic cotton, with flexible stretch and a perfect fit.

Premium Cotton Stretch

These premium briefs have a clean design, reinforced crotch and a soft microfiber elastic, with a classic Björn Borg logo printed on it.

Cotton Stretch is a classic and comfortable everyday favorite in a mix of cotton and stretchy elastane, topped with a microfiber elastic, designed with iconic Björn Borg prints all around the elastic band.

If you want more exclusive underpants with a more luxurious feel, then Premium Cotton Stretch is the ultimate choice.

The design of the elastic band with a simple but effective Björn Borg logo is another detail that contributes to a clean look.

• Björn Borg underpants are washed at 30-40 degrees depending on material and model. You can wash our Sports underwear at 30 degrees.

• It’s a good idea to use a laundry bag when washing underwear, to protect them a little extra.

• If your washing machine has a special program for underwear, feel free to use it for a gentle and customized wash.

• Tumble underwear on low heat or air dry them to maintain the fit.

• Avoid fabric softener as it can wear out the underwear's shape and reduce its breathability. Many underwears are made with microfiber fabrics, fibres adversely affected by fabric softeners.
