Hello!

I am becoming very frustrated with the quality of men’s trunks. I have purchased many different brands for my son and hubby but they ALL to soon become thin and saggy. Son complained to-day about 2 pair of this silver grey ones (bonds) and they are only a couple of months old and I rotate this pile after washing so no pair gets more wear than the others.
They seem to wear at the bum/seat area and just below the waist band first. For the money these companies change for their undies I find it is not value for money. What are your opinions moms and do you recommend a particular brand/trunk. Thank you so much. :-)

  • I get my teenage son the tradies trunk ones. He finds them to be quite comfy and so far there’s been no quality issues.


  • A brand called Max only sold at Target stores they last a while


  • Bonds are ever reliable!


  • My partner will only wear Rio – he loves them


  • Aloha are really good and seriously you get like 5 od them fir the price of 2 bonds ones. I used to but hubby bonds but I agree that since being made oversease they gave lost the quality.


  • Like womens , the cheaper brand undies lose the elasticity pretty quickly so I like the waistline to have good elastics around it and normally buys the better ones on sale . Also if you are lucky you can by good ones at the bargains shops too for only $2 but choose wisely . My 16 yo son loves Bonds and Alpha as they are secure . Bonds are great in general .


  • I second the Bonds reply and we also stock up when they’re on sale!


  • My husband & boys love their BONDS which I only buy when on special


  • Thank you so much for all your replies/comments moms:-)
    Special thanks to readingwishes and Jabelle, I have checked out the Boody website and I am very impressed and believe it or not a stockist is only a couple of minutes away from us and many more not that far.
    Looking good.


  • 100% cotton (Big-W) boxers have lasted years and years. Have not looked at their trunks but can highly recommend the everyday cotton boxers.


  • I see someone else has also mentioned Boody. check out their website, I think you get 10% off your first order. I got mine through my local health food store and am really happy with them. Organic bamboo, so good for sweaty blokes too!


  • Calvin Klein is what we buy. It is a bit pricey but when it’s on sale, it’s good. It lasts long too and even the color doesn’t fade. =)


  • Mitch Dowd are great and often have specials. My husband and sons find them comfortable and they wash and wear really well. They also have a Facebook page with regular give-aways :)


  • Find Bonds too expensive these days and they no longer last as long as they once did when they were an Australian icon and made right here in Aust. So I have been buying Target Essentials packs of 2 and my hubby is pleased with the fit and feel of them.


  • My partner wears Bonds and they last a life-time!
