What are Female Boxer Shorts Called?

by Phillippa Owen on Feb 29, 2024

Introduction
The world of women's fashion is vast and diverse, with a plethora of styles and designs to cater to every woman's unique taste. One such style that has been gaining popularity in recent years is womens boxers shorts. But what exactly are these? Are they the same as men's boxer shorts? And most importantly, what are they called? This blog post aims to answer all these questions and more.

Understanding Womens Boxer Shorts
Womens boxers shorts, also known as boyshorts or girl boxers, are a type of women’s underwear that is designed to mimic the style and comfort of traditional men’s boxer shorts. They typically have a low-rise design with wide sides and cover a significant portion of the buttocks, offering more coverage than typical women's underwear styles like briefs or bikinis.

These shorts are not only comfortable but also versatile. They can be worn as loungewear, sleepwear, or even as an everyday alternative to traditional women's underwear. Their comfortable fit and breathable fabric make them ideal for various activities like working out or simply lounging around at home.

The Evolution of Womens Boxer Shorts
The journey of womens boxers shorts from being purely functional to becoming a fashionable wardrobe staple is quite interesting. Traditionally, boxer shorts were exclusively worn by men. However, in the 1940s and 1950s, some women started wearing their boyfriend's or husband's boxer shorts as loungewear or sleepwear because they found them more comfortable than traditional women's nightwear.

This trend caught on, and by the late 20th century, several lingerie brands started producing boxer shorts specifically designed for women. These early versions were often made from silk or satin and were marketed as luxurious alternatives to traditional women's underwear.

In recent years, womens boxers shorts have undergone another transformation. They are now available in a wide range of fabrics, including bamboo, cotton, lace, and microfiber, and come in various styles and designs. Some are designed to be sexy and alluring, while others prioritise comfort and practicality.

Different Names for Womens Boxer Shorts
Depending on the brand or the region you are in, womens boxer shorts can go by several different names. Here are some of the most common ones:

1. Boyshorts: This is probably the most popular term for womens boxer shorts. The name comes from their resemblance to men's boxer shorts.

2. Girl boxers: This term is often used interchangeably with boyshorts. It emphasises that these shorts are a feminine version of traditional men's boxers.

3. Boxer briefs for women: Some brands use this term to describe womens boxers shorts that have a slightly longer leg length.

4. Booty shorts: This term is often used to describe womens boxers shorts that have a cheekier cut and offer less coverage than traditional boyshorts.

Why Flissie Make Boxer Briefs for Women

Flissie is changing the game by introducing boxer briefs designed specifically for women, focusing on comfort, style, and practicality. But why boxer briefs for women, you might ask? The answer lies in understanding the unique benefits they offer, from combating common discomforts like chub rub and chafing to providing a tailored fit that celebrates the female form.

Longer Leg Design: The Ultimate Comfort and Protection

One of the standout features of Flissie's boxer briefs is their longer leg design. This isn't just a stylistic choice; it's a functional one, aimed at providing women with the ultimate comfort and protection. The longer leg helps prevent the uncomfortable and often painful chafing that can occur when thighs rub together, commonly known as "chub rub." This makes Flissie's boxer briefs an excellent choice for active women or those who live in warmer climates where this can be a frequent issue.

Anti-Dig Waistband: Say Goodbye to Uncomfortable Squeezing

Another significant benefit of Flissie's boxer briefs is the anti-dig waistband. Traditional underwear often features elastic bands that can dig into the skin, leaving marks and causing discomfort. Flissie has addressed this issue by designing a waistband that sits comfortably on the waist, providing support without the squeeze. This feature ensures that the boxer briefs can be worn all day, under any outfit, without the worry of uncomfortable pinching or constriction.

Designed for a Woman's Body: The Perfect Fit

Flissie's boxer briefs are not just men's underwear resized for women; they are meticulously designed for the female form. This includes a tailored fit that accommodates wider hips and thighs, providing a snug yet comfortable embrace. The inclusion of a gusset—a piece of fabric in the underwear that increases its durability and comfort—further ensures that the boxer briefs are perfectly adapted to a woman's anatomy, offering superior comfort and functionality.

The Benefits of Fabric and Fit

Beyond the specific features designed to enhance comfort and functionality, Flissie's approach to selecting bamboo materials and constructing our boxer briefs speaks volumes about their commitment to quality. The fabric chosen is soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking, keeping you dry and comfortable throughout the day. This is particularly beneficial for women who lead active lifestyles or those looking for comfortable, all-day wear underwear.

Empowerment Through Comfort

Ultimately, Flissie's creation of boxer briefs for women is about more than just underwear; it's about empowerment. By providing women with comfortable, functional, and stylish underwear options, Flissie is challenging the status quo and giving women the freedom to choose underwear that suits their bodies and lifestyles. This commitment to comfort, combined with a deep understanding of women's needs, makes Flissie's boxer briefs a revolutionary addition to the world of women's underwear.

Flissie's boxer briefs for women represent a significant leap forward in underwear design. By addressing common issues such as chub rub, chafing, and uncomfortable waistbands, while also ensuring a perfect fit designed for a woman's body, Flissie is setting a new standard for comfort and style in women's underwear. Whether you're seeking the ultimate in daily comfort, looking for reliable workout wear, or simply want to feel empowered in your choice of underwear, Flissie's boxer briefs are a choice that promises not just comfort, but confidence too.

LOVE THESE BOXERS

The only brand I could find that did a decent length boxer specifically for women. Absolutely love the 9in ones. Sometimes the shorter ones do ride up a bit but the longer ones don’t seem to have that issue. Will definitely be buying more!
