BoyShorts FAQs

Are boyshorts the same as boxers?

Boyshorts and boxers are similar types of underwear but have a few key differences. Boyshort panties are a feminine take on men’s boxer briefs. Coverage extends past the cheeks with boyshorts, and they typically hit below the navel at the waistline. 

Boyshorts are also more form-fitting. Boxers, on the other hand, typically have a looser fit and stop lower on the thigh. While boyshorts and boxers provide more coverage than different types of underwear, boyshorts generally are a more popular choice among women because of their feminine fit.

What types of boyshort panties does Soma sell?

Our collection includes all different types of boyshort underwear for women. Some of our boyshorts end at the top of the high, while others extend past mid-thigh. Some boyshorts are high-rise and cover the belly button, while others are medium- and low-rise. 

We even have vanishing boyshorts, made from a unique microfiber that eliminates panty lines and contours your figure. You’ll also find smoothing boyshorts, which are fuller coverage for tummy shaping.

You can also find boyshort panties in various colors and designs. If you want to stick to what you know, you can find boyshorts in neutral colors and skin tones. But if you’re feeling bold, you can experiment with different colors and patterns. 

We even have boyshorts underwear in floral and animal prints and some with delicate lace detailing for an extra feminine touch. 

Are boyshorts more comfortable than other underwear styles?

Boyshorts are comfortable underwear suitable for everyday use. Boyshorts won’t dig or chafe, but they’ll shape and contour your body. They’re breathable and smooth, which makes them ideal for wearing under dresses, jeans, or shorts. Boyshorts are a great choice if you prefer underwear with more coverage on your back and hips.

Boyshorts are a different fit than other underwear, so it comes down to personal preference whether you like to wear them over other underwear styles.
