Maintenance of Your Boxer Shorts

A high-quality boxer short can last a long time with proper care. Bolas Underwear is known for its durability due to the high-quality 210gr cotton fabric. Here's how to best maintain your boxer shorts, with specific tips for cotton and bamboo fabrics.

Cotton vs. Bamboo

Boxer shorts made from cotton and bamboo each have their own maintenance needs. Cotton is durable, breathable, and can withstand multiple washes without fading or pilling. Bamboo, on the other hand, is softer, hypoallergenic, and has excellent moisture-wicking properties​.

Washing Instructions

1. Cotton:

   • Wash at a low temperature (30°C) to prevent shrinking.
   • Use a mild detergent to protect the fabric and colors.
   • Avoid bleach, as it can damage the fabric.

2. Bamboo:

   • Wash at a low temperature (30°C) and preferably on a delicate cycle.
   • Use a mild, hypoallergenic detergent to maintain the softness of the fabric.
   • Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the moisture-wicking properties.

Drying

• Cotton: Preferably hang the boxer shorts to dry. If using a dryer, use a low heat setting to prevent shrinkage.
• Bamboo: Hang the boxer shorts on a drying rack. Avoid dryers as the heat can damage the delicate fibers and shorten the lifespan.

Ironing

• Cotton: Iron at a medium temperature. Ensure not to burn the fabric.
• Bamboo: Ironing is usually not necessary as bamboo is less prone to wrinkles. If needed, use a low temperature.

Extra Tips

• Organizing: Use the Marie Kondo method to neatly store your boxer shorts. This not only prevents wrinkles but also helps keep track of your collection.
• Regular Washing: Ensure to wash your boxer shorts after each wear to maintain hygiene and prevent odors​.
