Underwear

Boxers or briefs?

My boys always wore briefs -- maybe because my brothers always did or because their dad did. Somehow, briefs just seemed right.

But lately, they've become aware of boxers and wanted to try them out. Without going into too much detail, let's just say they're all sporting boxers right now (except Boy #4, who is STILL wearing diapers) and that Boy #3 is very, very proud.

What do you think? Is there a certain age when most boys make the transition from boxers to briefs? From what I understand, boxers on little boys can be a messy ordeal. A friend's son recently, uh, dumped all over the front of her van. Not his fault, really. He was wearing boxers and when he lost control, the boxers didn't offer much in the way of support.

Today, let's take a break the big questions -- and solve the boxers vs. briefs dilemma instead.
