Psst...Let me tell you a secret

Please allow me to interrupt your scrolling as I bring you News about #boxershorts and not those fancy boy shorts but plain old Jersey  mens boxer shorts! Lend me your ears, for you will not want to miss this piece of life changing news!

I have reached that age where i value comfort above all else. I don’t have time for fancy underwear that make me wonder what my femoral artery did to them, as they try to cut off my blood supply! and do not get me started on thongs! Why someone would want to walk around with a constant wedgie and sore bum crack is beyond me, but if that is you thing, much respect to you. It is not much to ask for some level of comfort out of the many contraptions we are required to wear and it looks like i am not alone in this thinking because the history of women’s underwear has somewhat come full circle from drawers in the 18th century to 21st century boy shorts gaining popularity.

So when my sister called me a couple of months ago to inform me that she was now wearing her husbands underwear, courtesy of her having forgotten to do her laundry, hence running out of clean panties 😜 and that from then henceforth she would be wearing his underwear! I laughed 😂😂 as it was soo her ( she does the most random things, like calling me yesterday as an emergency, just to let me know that Aquaman had been returned to sender- her words), any way i digress. So i found myself one lazy morning adopting her sharing is caring ways and that is when i realised we had truly been conned as women! The levels of ease and comfort i got from the boxer shorts was on another level. My femoral artery could now do it’s God given work unhindered plus everything was all held in one place, comfortably 😂👏🏾.

So i quickly used my Amazon prime addiction( it is a thing) to find women’s boy shorts and 48hours and quick wash and dry later , i was the proud owner of a couple of packs. They unfortunately turned out as another con 😲😪, like everything else marketed to women( like how are women’s shaving razors so expensive, while the same make of Men’s are cheaper and do the same job?😐 🤯). They were not as comfortable 😠 and by now i should have learnt that most of these concepts only work on industry size/ shaped women’s bodies 🤨!

So off i marched to Primark ( i was not about to spend premium money! i was not aiming to look like David Gandy or Beckham, see underwear adverts for reference) and bought me a pack of cheap as chips, men’s jersey boxer shorts underwear and lets us just say, i have not looked back since( well except for the odd days, mother nature pays her monthly visits and reenforcements( seriously there is no emoji for sanitary pads or tampons 😶) trounce comfort)

Don’t take our word for it( we may just be a pair of mad sisters 🚶‍♀️. Go and get yourself a pair and you can thank me later! For those who already knew this secret and did not share, may your bum cracks be forever sore 😅🙏🏾 🧞‍♂️.Thank you for listening/reading and normal service shall resume next week 😊.

P/S- they are a 💯 percent cotton ( all round goodness for your ladybits!)
