who dry cleans boxers? - Review written on March 07, 2008

These are nice and silky silk boxers - almost exactly what i expected, except after i put them through the gentle cycle and hung them to dry I noticed they shrunk. Then I read the care label...dry clean only.
(I live in a valley that doesn't even have a public laundromat) and this was not mentioned in the info when purchased. Very sad.

I always keep some pairs of silk boxers alongside the usual cotton versions. They serve well under dress clothes and when I travel. Therefore I was surprised and pleased to find these are better made - of sturdier material and utilize two buttons in the fly - than any other brand I've encountered so far. Next time, I know where to go for more.

I ordered these silk boxers a size larger than I normally wear,in royal blue. They fit and felt great for one use. My wife washed them in cold water as directed, and they faded to a washed out blue. They are also extremely wrinkled. I recommend them for one use only!

Purchased the black Intimo's. After the first machine washing, the silk takes on a matte, dark metallic appearance typical to washable silks. After five washings, they are still dark and have not shrunk. The cut is not ideal for me (36in waist), but next time I will try the tall-men's version if available. The regular size rides up quite badly in certain pants. The rest of the time they are the essence of comfort! Well worth the affordable price.

My boyfriend loves them. They would get 5 stars if they were easier to wash. But very nice.

While very well-made and quite reasonably priced, I'm not overly excited about the buttons. Stainless snaps would have been considerably more appropriate (or even tiny tabs of velcro). Be sure to order one size larger than you think you need!!! They're sized a bit tight.

I went on here looking for silk boxers for myself and silk bikinis for my girlfriend and couldn't have been more happy with the quality and prices!!! I would definitely recommend buying from Intimo and will again myself.

Great for sleeping, however when worn with my jeans they seem to make it to easy for my jeans to slide down. So when I pull up my jeans it seems to pull up the silk boxers also , thus creating a wedgie effect. This makes it difficult to be comfortable during the day so I just wear them at night now.

I normally wear a medium but after reading other reviews I ordered large. They were too small. (I have a 33" waist). I returned them and promptly recieved extra large. They are quite big, appearently not running small. They are thin and very comfortable, but I have never found any silk boxers as nice as the discontinued Penny's Stafford brand.

My hubby loves these boxers,they are something that he's wanted from childhood. The only slight downside to them is that I recommend that you either hand wash them or have a delicate setting on your washer.

They are nice well made shorts. The only problem I had was they are too small for me so I gave them to my wife. I ordered large and they fit like medium. Make sure you order a size larger then you wear and they will fit you just fine.

These are reasonably priced for silk boxers, and seem reasonably well made (I just got them and have not put them through a wash yet). However, if you are used to regular cotton boxers (like Fruit of the Loom or Hanes), please note that the Intimo silk boxers seem to run about a size smaller. So their medium is like a Hanes small, etc. I suggest getting one size larger than you normally wear. These are nice and cool, especially good for the summer.

I ordered the silk boxers but unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) I broke up with my boyfriend (the intended recipient) before I gave them to him. So now I'm waiting to meet someone who is a size medium and would like some nice silk boxers! But they sure seemed nice.

Though I prefer flannel and cotton boxers, I needed silk boxers for a long hiking and camping trip. (Silk has great moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties.) Under nylon shorts, the Intimo silks managed to keep my Special Fun Area reasonably dry even while hiking in driving rain. When they did get wet, they dried much, much faster than cotton boxers do.

They lasted a couple of months before falling apart - a pretty good show of durability, actually, given the amount of punishment they took. I had only two pair and I alternated them, often with a full week between washings. Obviously they got kinda crusty, but that couldn't be helped. Under the circumstances they held up well. I would recommend them.

As for this boxer/brief/thong controversy, I believe a man should wear whatever type of underwear he finds most comfortable. If that means boxers, fine. If it means a thong, fine. What women consider stylish should be at the very bottom of a man's list of concerns. Women consider all kinds of ridiculous things stylish, such as hairless pets, square-toed shoes, pointy-toed shoes, the Monochromatic Look and the music of Andrea Bocelli.

As previously described, the sensation in your skin is great but I would not use them to go to work. I only use them at home and they really feel nice. I will probably order a couple more. It's also works great as pajama shorts.
Too much hassle - Review written on May 29, 2005

I don't like these one bit. They move around far too much and end up getting stuck in uncomfortable places. I often find myself looking for a public toilet just so I can straighten myself out. This usually means de-twisting them or pulling them down because they've bunched up and are starting to look more like baggy briefs than boxer shorts. As a matter of fact, these boxers need constant adjustments throughout the day. The first comes in the morning when you put your pants on. No matter how careful you are, unless you wear huge clown pants and don't make contact with the boxers on the way up, they inevitably bunch. Several more adjustments will follow over the course of a normal day because they don't stay in place. Finally, (assuming you haven't become overwhelmed by the urge to yank them off and tear them to pieces), you'll need to adjust them after you've changed out of your pants. Unfortunately, gravity alone won't solve the problem because by now they're likely to be stuck in your crotch and/or butt.

And that's on a normal, uneventful day!

Don't even think about wearing them for sports or on hot days. All that fabric (basically you're wearing a pair of shorts under your clothes) makes it hot and restrictive. The worst thing is there's no support whatsoever, so your boys will be sticking to your thighs all day. Expect a lot of discreet leg-parting in order to correct it.

Wearing these boxers has become a chore and I can't think of a single good thing to say about them. I'd rather go without underwear than endure anymore of their discomfort and hassle.

This review is about the Intimo boxers only and not about the debate of boxers over other types of undergarment. I purchased a couple of pairs for my husband. He finds them comfortable. I put them in a lingerie bag and wash them in the washing machine in cold water. After several months, they are still in good condition.
Boxers good, thong bad. - Review written on April 07, 2005

Ok, first of all, rating Intimo Boxers. Silk is generally a more delicate fabric than say cotton. with this in mind I would like to say that I have maintained my intimo silk boxers for many years. Used to be in the army and would occasionally wear them under BDUs (a very bad idea, especially in a field environment). Given the "abuse" that I've put them through, they've held up admirably. In other words, these are some good boxers.

If you want a thong, get a thong.

If you want support, get some boxerbriefs.

If you want to remind women of their grandpa, get some "tighty-whiteys".

If you want underwear you can loan to a girl when she spends the night, get boxers. I don't know of a single girl who wants to sleep in a man's thong.

The previous reviewer is right. Women love to see a man in a thong and not in boxers. Afther I first put a thong on my wife has not stopped telling me how sexy I look.

It has converted her in a nifomaniac! If you want great sex, get a thong. Your woman will love it.
Boxers are for old men, get a thong instead - Review written on March 25, 2005

My opinion as a woman: I don't understand why men keep thinking that Boxers are in and cool. Men in boxers look unatractive (my grandfather used them, they are obsolete). My female friends call boxers, grandpha briefs.

Also this boxer does not provide support for men where they need it. and it is a known medical fact that lack of support can cause organs to sack.

Get a thong instead. Women love how men in thongs look. They look very sexy and masculine. I recommend a thong from HOM or Undergear instead.
