Quick answer
To choose the right boxer trunk size, measure your natural waist at the narrowest point and your hip at the fullest part, then match your measurements to the CDLP size chart. The Boxer Trunk is designed to fit true to size, so you can confidently order your usual underwear size.
Why accurate measurements matter for boxer trunks
A boxer trunk sits lower on the waist than traditional briefs, so a precise waist measurement is crucial to avoid sagging or riding up. The CDLP Boxer Trunk features a low waist and short leg, which means the fit depends heavily on where you take your waist measurement.
The Tencel™ lyocell fabric has minimal stretch compared to cotton blends, so relying on your usual size without measuring can lead to a less comfortable fit. Taking a few seconds to measure ensures the enhanced pouch and signature waistband sit exactly where they should.
How to measure for your boxer trunk size
- Measure your waist: Wrap a soft measuring tape around your natural waist—the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above your belly button. Keep the tape snug but not tight. Record the measurement in inches or centimeters.
- Measure your hips: Stand with feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks. This helps confirm the fit for the short leg and ensures the trunk doesn't ride up during movement. If your hip measurement is more than 4 inches larger than your waist, consider sizing up for a more comfortable fit through the leg openings.
- Compare to the size chart: Match your waist measurement to the CDLP size chart. The Boxer Trunk fits true to size, so select the size that corresponds to your measurement. If you're between sizes, choose the larger size for a relaxed fit or the smaller size for a snug, performance-oriented fit. Double-check the size chart on the product page before ordering. The model (176 cm / 5'9") wears size M, which can serve as a reference.
Product facts
-
6 × Boxer Trunk: Made of Tencel™ lyocell—a fibre derived from certified renewable wood sources—providing silk-like softness, superior breathability, and natural moisture wicking properties. The fabric's smoothness and breathability mean the trunk should fit closely without irritation, but its limited stretch makes accurate sizing more important than with elasticated synthetics.
