Is it okay if I wear boxers under my board shorts?

I'm going swimming with a couple of my friends and was wondering if I should where these boxers ( http://www.freshpair.com/Hanes-3-Pack-Comfort-Soft-Waistband-Woven-Boxers-MWCST.html?CID=OTC-2992&srccode=cii_9324560&cpncode=17-9813617-2 ) under my board shorts.

Answer 1

No dude boardies are made to be worn commando they are made of a quick dry material that if you put a boxer underneith they will not dry and hold the water.

boardies comando

Answer 2

I would not. The mesh inside lining takes care of all issues you may have. If you cut it out, you had better wear a speedo brief under it. No boxers under the boardies.

As RWD wrote, it is against pool regulations in most places because of cotton fiber issues in the filters.

Answer 3

I do it. When your jumpin' in the pool, getting out or just walking around in the wet pants. Boxer's prevent your *** from hanging out of your shorts and from getting any rashes.

Plus, I like to sag my pants.

Answer 4

You might want to check if your pool allows cotton. My local pool recently changed it's policy -- they do not allow you in the pool wearing cotton t-shirts, boxers, etc.

Personally, I find the idea of wearing underwear in the pool gross. The neighborhood pool attracts people with a wide range of beliefs regarding personal hygiene and laundry habits. Think about it. Ick.

Answer 5

yeah i would defiantly wear boxers. I always do and if you don't some people might see some areas you don't want them to see if the shorts fall off or are see-through

Answer 6

you can wear whatever you want, just make sure to rinse them out after you are done swimming to make sure there is no chlorine damage, almost anything can be swam in, but if not rinsed the chlorine can damage it

have fun and be safe

Answer 7

yes you should just in case your board shorts wear to come off

Answer 8

NOOOO!!!!  Do you really want to spend the day in wet underwear?  Get a pair of speedos (brief style swimsuit) to wear under your boardies; they dry quick, provide support and keep you covered should the boardies come off (I've seen it happen!).  While briefs/speedos may not be your first choice of swimwear, they have a very practical side.

Answer 9

it's okay to but some have built in underwear.  also your boxers usually ride up and give you a wedgie. but if you lose your trunks you'll be thankful for your boxers

Answer 10

You could, but you're fine wearing just board shorts.
