Gotchies Boxer Briefs Review

I have recently learned about possible dangers of wearing underwear and running shorts that are made with synthetic fabrics. Some concerns that arise include exposure to harmful chemicals and dyes. For this reason, I chose to test this product and write a review.

While these didn’t fully address some of the performance features I personally look for when running—like additional support—they may be a great option for runners who are concerned about the chemicals, dyes, and synthetic materials commonly used in athletic apparel. The organic cotton fabric offers a more natural alternative that some people may find reassuring and comfortable, especially if they prefer to minimize exposure to synthetic materials during exercise.

I wore these during 5k runs, and they were comfortable. I did not need to adjust them. They fit well. The legs of the shorts did not roll or climb up my legs, they fit tightly enough to stay in place. While many men have worn Gotchies boxer briefs for longer runs, I personally would not do so. I appreciate having more support than these provide. I also sweat a lot, and know that for me, a 100% cotton underwear would not be a good option as it would absorb a lot of moisture, likely resulting in chafing.
