Bamboo boxers anyone.....any recommendations?

[wafter]

I went down this rabbithole a while ago and settled on Step One boxer briefs with flies.

On the plus side they seem well made, the fit is nice (comfortable but secure) and the fabric feels good against the skin.

Unfortunately it wasn't all splendid - they sell themselves on the idea that they stay put / don't ride up or bunch, sadly I didn't find this was true and this is especially problematic when cycling. They've also bobbled a bit.

All that said I've not found anything better and they probably do get a bit of a hard life with the amount of cycling they're subject to.

They also offer a "sport" varient with longer legs that are supposed to be more stable if you move about a lot, however I don't think these are available with a fly (why anyone would want boxers without I cannot fathom).

Also, I'm not sure if it was a transient thing when I ordered but they seem to do a lot of offers. List price for those I got is currently £17/pr, but I bought during a promo and got six pairs for a little under £40, so about £6-7ea.

I think this is a model used by many manufacturers in this market so regardless of where you buy, if you're not in a hurry it's worth sitting on your hands for promos as you can potentially save quite a lot.

I've got a dozen pairs of Biofit bamboo boxers. They're pretty comfortable, and seem to be wearing well.
They have offers / sales very often, but they'll spam your inbox to bits...

I got a 3 pack of very long leg ones for £14 from John Lewis in their sale. Very comfortable.

I have no experience of bamboo boxers but when I got a couple of free pair of bamboo socks. I found they got damp with sweat. So there is no way I’d been wanting the same in boxers.

MODS..... I assume this is in the right section ?
Right..... im in the market for new boxers. Ive had a few ads for bamboo ones and they look good.
The problem is, when I see an ad then check the reviews the various suppliers get canned......for a number of reasons.
So...... has anyone bought them? If so a) what is your opinion of them b) can you recommend a supplier.
Drago....you need not respond!!

yeah I tried a couple pairs, they feel nice at first, soft and breathable, but quality is all over the place, some go loose after a few washes, some hold up fine, I’d just avoid random ads and stick to brands with a lot of real reviews, otherwise you’re gambling a bit

There are so many ads at the moment. I went with one that had decent reviews. Worn them all once and washed once.....all seems fine and they are comfortable.
2 critisisms......
A) I didnt realise they were coming from China. It took 2 weeks. However the tracking info was excellent.
B) I dont like the colours, nothing like the ad.

i've found the Giovici boxers to be very comfy.

I did try another brand where the seams annoyed me considerably.
