Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to other modal boy shorts like Woxer Women’s Boxer Briefs, the Hanes version offers a higher waist at a lower price, making it a more affordable choice for full coverage. It also competes with the Bali Comfort Revolution line, though Hanes provides a more inclusive sizing range.

What to know before buying

1. Measure your waist and hip circumference to choose the correct size, especially if you are between sizes.
2. These are not seamless – minimal leg bands exist but are wide and stay flat.
3. Machine wash in cold water and avoid bleach to maintain the modal fabric’s softness.
4. If you prefer a cheeky cut, these offer full rear coverage, so they are not for you.
5. Plus-size options run true to size per the Hanes brand sizing guide.

Sustainability & ethics

Hanes sources modal from sustainable beechwood forests and holds OEKO-TEX certification to ensure no harmful chemicals are used in the finished product. Packaging is mostly cardboard with a plastic hook-and-eye, and the brand has public commitments to reducing water usage in manufacturing.

Frequently asked questions

Do these Hanes modal boy shorts run small?

Most customers say they run true to size, but the modal fabric stretches slightly after a few wears, so if you prefer a snug fit, stick with your usual size.

Are these good for heavy thighs?

Yes, the 3-inch inseam and wide leg bands prevent riding up and reduce chafing, making them ideal for women with thicker thighs.

Can these be worn during periods?

They work well with pads or period underwear as a backup due to the high waist and full rear coverage, but they are not period-proof themselves.

How does the Hanes modal compare to cotton?

Modal is much softer and has a silky feel that drapes rather than clings, plus it wicks moisture slightly better than basic cotton.

Are these available in extended plus sizes?

Yes, the range includes sizes up to 3X, and many plus-size reviewers confirm the fit is generous and comfortable around the midsection.
