Tommy John Second Skin Boxer Brief

Wedgie is a term you probably haven’t used since the 5th grade, but all it takes is one pair of lousy underwear to be reminded of just how uncomfortable they can be. Tommy John, the maker of the most comfortable underwear known to man, rectify this by providing underwear that’s the best fit and functionality, so there’s no chance of them riding up. TJ’s Second Skin Boxer Briefs are made from a silky soft fabric that feels buttery to the touch.

Equipped with a contour pouch, your ‘boys’ will be comfortably nestled at all times. Tommy John makes a big deal out of the fact that no adjustment is needed. The horizontal Quick Draw fly may go against the norm, but it guarantees nothing will be left hanging out. All this and more is why Tommy John says “it’s the best pair you’ll ever wear, or it’s free.”
