Boxers body temperature science. A quick, honest guide from Whats Down.
Your groin is one of the body’s heat-exchange hotspots. What you wrap it in affects how hot you feel overall.
Airflow over insulation
Loose garments let warm air escape and cooler air in; tight ones trap a warm layer against skin.
Moisture management
Sweat cools you only if it can evaporate. Woven cotton lets it; polyester and tight knits don’t.
Contact area
Less fabric touching skin, less heat retained. A relaxed-leg boxer touches the least.
Cool by design on the rack.
Good to know
Summer: In an Indian summer, boxers should be light enough to see light through, woven so air passes, and cut loose so nothing traps heat. Digital printing helps here too. Screen-print ink adds a plasticky layer that holds warmth against the skin.
Wash colours: Prints stay loud when you keep brights with darks and whites with whites, wash cold, and avoid the tumble dryer. Digital printing bonds dye to the fibre, so colour loss is minimal. The 1-year colour guarantee exists because we rarely have to use it.
Care: Wash cold with similar colours, inside out if you can, and line dry in shade. Tumble heat is what ages elastic. All our boxers and masks are hand and machine washable, and a mild detergent is all they need. Skip bleach and fabric softener.
Masks: The same bold prints come as reusable two-layer cotton poplin face masks with soft ear loops. One size, hand and machine washable, and the thing that turns up free in your parcel when you cross ₹999.
