Should I choose briefs or boxers?

Briefs are a short, Y-shaped pair of underwear that are in the shape of an "inverted triangle". The advantages of briefs include being close-fitting and less likely to expose private parts, and being better at protecting privacy and keeping out dirt; however, briefs are generally a bit tight, and some babies may find them uncomfortable, especially boys. In addition, the edge of the briefs directly touches the base of the thighs. If you sweat a lot in the summer, it is easy to get ringworm and prickly heat around the thighs.

Compared with briefs, boxer briefs are loose in design and not restrictive, so they are more comfortable to move around in, and therefore many babies prefer to wear boxer briefs. If the thigh circumference of the boxer briefs is too small, the baby's thighs will be tight and uncomfortable when wearing them; if the thigh circumference of the briefs is too large, the baby will not fit closely and cannot serve the purpose of underwear. It is recommended to compare it with the baby's thigh when purchasing.
