Does anyone make loose boxer shorts for MTB / Sport ?

Due to a couple of gentleman’s problems that the NHS refuse to help me with, I can’t wear tight underwear without some significant pain in the family jewels.

Regular cotton boxer shorts are no problem pain wise but soak up sweat like a sponge. I can’t find anything in that style that isn’t made from cotton.

I tried a pair of under armour boxers but they were too tight and I felt nauseous after a 15 mile ride.

Any ideas now the weather is warming up ?

Any RBX longs from TK Maxx go a size up and you will be good to go in my own experience take a bit of hammer also.

You might like to look at these from Jockey https://www.jockey.co.uk/collections/mens-multipacks/products/jockey-sport-trunk-2-pack

I'm a 30" waist and wear a small. You do not want to be MTB'ing in boxer shorts. Trust me.

Commando is indeed the correct option.

All my life, since my mum stopped dressing me, and counting...

Unfortunately, everything posted is too tight. I need something loose with zero support.

You just want some loose fit wicking/breathable boxers dont you?

Shrine boxers?

Can you not get away with using Lycra (under)shorts instead of boxers?

Have a look at Uniqlo Airism boxers/trunks/briefs. Just don't wear them in combination with knee warmers as it feels very weird.

Might be worth having a look or trying some bawbags? Always my go to, super comfortable and they do a moisture wicking material too (although that may be a bit tight for you). The standard ones are fairly loose fitting though.

Edit:

Here's the URL as I can't get links to work

H&M sport boxer shorts are good Lycra style, get a size bigger and they’ll be lose although feel true to size

I think the problem is that the idea of lycra shorts (including undershorts) is that they're tight to avoid bunching up and chafing.

Whatever gentleman's problem you are experiencing might just not be compatible - I'd go commando in that case, just make sure your baggies are a dark colour and no too threadbare!

Just looking back, I've absolutely no idea why my post is all crossed out. Bloody forum
