I’m a man! I’ll fish in my skivvies if I damn well please.
If you’re like a lot of men, you’ve probably been wearing the same 5 sets of undergarments for the past 6 years. And they’re probably nasty looking. Your undershirts have layers of yellow sweat and deodorant stains in the pits, your underwear has holes, and your socks are threadbare.
Why do men let their underwear get like this? Well, in the long list of things that press on a man’s mind every day, their underwear’s condition probably doesn’t even crack the top 100. Nobody thinks about running to the store to buy some new undies. And it’s understandable. Most people won’t see your underclothes, so out of sight, out of mind.
If only there was a service that would mail you new underwear throughout the year so you don’t have to remember to buy a new set ever again.
Guess what? A service like that exists. It’s called Manpacks.
Manpacks is a subscription service that sends you a new set of socks, underwear, and undershirts every three months. You pick the plan and the style of underclothing you want and Manpacks will take care of the rest. For as little as $4 a month, you can receive a completely new set of undergarments at just the right time to replenish your supply. You’ll never have to make a run to the store to buy new undergarments again. For today’s busy man, it’s nice to have one less thing to worry about.
The Manpacks Giveaway
We’re giving away a one year Manpack subscription to one lucky Art of Manliness reader. They’ll receive 2 pairs of underwear, 2 shirts, and 2 pairs of socks every 3 months for the next year. No strings attached-it’s not one of those subscriptions that sneakily automatically renews itself. Just a whole year of new underwear delivered to your door. To enter, simply leave a comment on this post answering the age old question: boxers or briefs?
Deadline to enter is Monday, June 28, 2010 at 11PM CST.
We’ll select one random entry as the winner.
Everyone who enters the contest will receive a code for a $10 discount on any Manpacks package. So enter already! You only have $10 and fresh undies to gain!

both!
Boxer-briefs. The wife says the boys move around too much in boxers. And that show is reserved for her eyes only. So boxer-briefs it is. Maybe I’ll try some contoured trunks and free the boys up alittle.
Briefs
Boxer-Briefs…. but if I had to choose then boxers.
Briefs. I prefer to not have my junk swinging around when I walk/run.
Used to be a boxer man, but have since gone to boxer-briefs.
boxers

Boxer-Briefs – if I wear any underwear at all.
Briefs!
Boxers all the way. Don’t need any of that tied down stuff
Boxers for sure
Classic white briefs!
Boxers.
To put it briefly: boxer briefs.
Boxers, unless working out then boxer-briefs.
Generally boxers during the day, but I do use boxer briefs if I know I will be active, like at the gym, for example.
Classic question … but certainly and interesting giveaway!
Boxer briefs for sure. Tight enough to keep from riding up, but loose enough to hang free where it counts.
boxers only because i feel more better walking around in themand because as i grew up i felt more manlier in them
Boxer briefs, of course!
Boxers 99% of the time.
Briefs all the way.
Definitely boxer briefs. The support is nice, yet I’m not wearing whitey-tighties. Best of both worlds.
Boxers unless I’m doing something active – then boxer briefs
Boxers unless I’m wearing slim-fit pants, then I need the support of boxer briefs.
Briefs! My boys need a house.
Boxers, except when running.
Boxers unless I need the extra support (biking, running, etc.)
BOXING for BOXERS
Boxers!

Boxers!
boxers, of course!
Boxers, just as God intended. I’m pretty sure that tidy-whities are the Devil’s work…

Boxer-briefs.
Boxer Briefs!
Briefs, trunks, boxer-briefs…anything but boxers!
Boxer-briefs > boxers > briefs.
Is boxer-briefs too bipartisan?
Boxers haven’t owned briefs for 20 years.
boxers… working out: boxer briefs
Boxers!
Boxer-briefs mostly, but between the two: boxers all the way
Boxers, boxers, and more boxers!
Boxers
Boxers!

First briefs, then boxers, and finally settled on boxer-briefs. They’re perfect.

I wear both boxers and boxer-briefs.
Briefs all the way.
I can’t stand it to have everything flopping around all the time, especially at the gym. Gotta have some support.
Boxer Brief….
I originally wore briefs growing up, and then transitioned to boxers as I began to wear looser clothing. But, as an adult now, I enjoy the support of the briefs with the look of boxers. So…boxer-briefs! They are the best invention in underwear.
boxers any day
Definitely boxers.
Boxers for sure!
Boxers, most definitely
Boxers–the only way to allow the scrotum to expand and contract in response to the ambient temperature. There’s a reason we’re designed this way, guys!
Boxers it is.
Boxer-briefs, of course. Only way to go!
The ultimate hybrid….boxer-briefs! Yes…briefs are too tight, but boxers make me feel like Im freeballing!
go native! BRIEFS
boxers
Boxer Briefs – I like my undies like I like my haircut – High and Tight
Boxers
Boxer-briefs. The fit of briefs with the freedom of boxers.
Boxers or boxer-briefs
boxers, boxer briefs, and briefs all equally.
Boxer Briefs- the best of both worlds. Keep things together without having to resort to the tighty-whities.
Boxers!
Briefs. Has to be, nice and cosy.
Boxers!
Boxers, they’re as much freedom as you can get without wearing a dress.
BoxerBriefs… All Day! (it’s important)
boxer briefs, the best of both worlds
Boxers
—Boxers!
Briefs just work better. Boxers tend to bunch up.
Boxer-briefs are preferred, but definitely boxers over briefs.
boxerbriefs!
Boxer Briefs are my personal choice, but when given the choice between the two, I prefer boxers unless I’m going running – then I’d have to go with briefs. I keep a few of every variation on hand for whatever occasion may arise.
this one is easy, BOXERS all the way.
Boxer-briefs.
Absolutley boxers!
By the way, mom was right about wearing a clean pair in case you’re in a wreck. A month ago I was hit by a car while waking across a street. The EMTs cut my Wranglers off. I have gone without shorts some in the summer. I wouldn’t have wanted to have my jeans cut off in a ambulance and be “neckid” when I reach the hospital. :-)
Boxers all the way, but one point of my life I went commando for a while…
Of the choices given, briefs. I wear boxer-briefs, though.
boxers, though boxer-briefs are preferred.
Boxers usually, but briefs when the occasion calls for them!
Count me in!
And boxers, definitely. I appreciate the freedom they provide.
briefs.
I’m a “Uniform Man” and the pants are wool and tight–so I usually have to go with briefs…but my preference is always boxers
Boxers, I need some room to breath. :)
boxers or boxer-briefs for me
1. briefs
2. boxer briefs
3. boxers
Well when just kicking it boxers, and when working out briefs. But most importantly they got to be clean.
Boxers for days that are all play and fun, when work needs done, boxer-briefs give me the support for moving around all day.
Boxers
Boxer-briefs mainly.
Although boxers are good when wearing shorts or sleeping.
