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.

How Do You Wash 100% Silk
One hundred percent silk can be either handwashed or washed in the washing machine . The first rule of thumb when it comes to silk is to not use detergent that is non biological and contains harsh chemicals such as bleach . Also, do not tumble dry or dry in direct sunlight. In washing machines silk should be placed in mesh bags in order to prevent damage and stretching . When hand washing, soaking the silk in solution and gently agitating the silk will suffice for a good cleaning without ruining the material.
The best detergent for silk are detergents that are free of harsh chemicals . Silk is made out of very sensitive natural proteins which can be broken down by harsh chemicals in normal detergents.
Therefore, when washing silk, whether by hand or machine, the detergent being used should consist of bio organic ingredients and not harsh chemicals such as bleach, whiteners, and non-biological enzymes which break down the delicate fibers in silk. This detergent should also be used in company with lukewarm water, not too hot not too cold, best advised at 30 degrees Celsius
