Question
What kind of underwear should children wear: briefs or boxers? My son is 7 years old and has never worn underwear. I bought him a few pairs, but he only wears them for a while and then takes them off. I always buy triangle briefs, but my colleague advises that I should get boxers for him. At this age, should children wear briefs or boxers, and how can I get my child to wear underwear properly?
Answer
It doesn’t matter which one; whether a child wears briefs or boxers has nothing to do with the shape. It’s just that the child is not used to it. Generally, briefs are more conducive to physical growth, while boxers are usually worn by adults because of the manufacturing advantages of briefs. Even if the penis grows and becomes erect, there will be no discomfort. So you should educate your child that every child wears underwear, and not wearing it is ugly. Dads and moms wear underwear, so it should be taught by dad.
