When looking for boxers that are not the conventional cotton boxers, a great choice is silk. The are very comfortable because the fabric does not stick to your skin or pull at your skin if you get warm. What is also great is that because the material is naturally cooler will not cause sweat to build up and keeps odors to a minimum.
