Boxer shorts, or simply boxers,[2] have an elasticated waistband that is at or near the wearer's waist, while the leg sections are fairly loose and extend to the mid-thigh. There is usually a fly, either with or without buttons. The waistbands of boxer shorts are usually wider than those of briefs, and often bear the brand name of the manufacturer.
Boxer briefs, otherwise known as trunks,[3] are similar in style to boxer shorts, but are generally shorter and form-fitting like briefs.
Briefs have an elasticated waistband at or near the wearer's waist, and leg sections that end at or near the groin.
Thongs are like briefs, except the backside is made to go between the buttocks.
