The Comfiest Pants You’ll Ever Own? Let’s Talk Full Briefs — And Why Bamboo Might Just Be Better Than Cotton
We all want underwear that feels as good as it looks — and more importantly, underwear that supports us through the day without digging in, riding up, or losing shape. That’s exactly why full briefs are having their moment again. They’re not just a throwback style — they’re a practical, flattering choice for women who want comfort without compromise. But when it comes to choosing the right pair, one question comes up time and time again…
Is Bamboo or Cotton Better for Undies?
Cotton has long been the go-to for comfortable underwear, and for good reason — it’s breathable, soft, and natural. But bamboo has quietly stepped into the spotlight as a worthy (and arguably superior) alternative. Bamboo fabric is incredibly soft — think silk-like smoothness — but with all the moisture-wicking and breathable properties you’d expect from natural fibres. It’s also hypoallergenic and more sustainable than cotton, making it kinder to both your skin and the planet.
That’s what makes the Women's Bamboo Full Briefs – Forest Berry Multipack such a joy to wear. Crafted from a super-soft blend of 95% bamboo and 5% elastane, they provide the perfect mix of comfort, stretch, and support — all in one luxurious fabric that stays soft and vibrant wash after wash.
What Material Is Best for Full Briefs?
The best full briefs are made from fabrics that move with you, don’t irritate your skin, and provide a feeling of all-day freshness. Bamboo ticks every box — it’s breathable, quick-drying, and naturally temperature regulating. The blend used by British Boxers is also a generous 180gsm weight, meaning it’s substantial enough to provide gentle support, but still lightweight and soft enough to feel like a second skin.
These full briefs are made for everyday wear — whether you're lounging at home, working at your desk, or heading out for the day. The waistband is soft and flexible, with a pretty contrast trim and a discreet British Boxers label (no fuss, no bows). The cut provides full bottom coverage, without sacrificing shape or style — proving that big pants really can be beautiful.
How Do I Choose the Right Size Full Briefs?
British Boxers offer sizes from XS to 4XL, designed with generous stretch and a forgiving fit. To find your perfect pair, simply follow their size guide for full measurements. These briefs are designed to sit comfortably at the natural waist and stay in place without digging in — ideal for those who want their underwear to feel secure and flattering without being tight or restrictive.
The added elastane in the fabric blend ensures your full briefs move with your body, offering a flexible fit that hugs without pinching. You can confidently order your usual size or size up for an even more relaxed feel.
The difference comes down to coverage and rise. While standard briefs often sit lower on the waist and offer less bottom coverage, full briefs are designed to rise higher and provide more support. Think of them as a comforting hug — soft, stretchy, and designed to stay in place all day. They’re especially popular with women who want a smoother silhouette under clothes or who simply prefer more coverage. British Boxers' full briefs offer all this with a modern twist — beautiful colours, high-quality construction, and a focus on comfort that doesn’t compromise on style.
Are Full Briefs Flattering?
Absolutely. The myth that only skimpy underwear is flattering is just that — a myth. A well-cut pair of full briefs can feel just as feminine and empowering as any other style, especially when they’re made from luxurious, high-quality materials. These briefs gently smooth and support without squeezing, rolling, or riding up, giving you confidence from the base layer up. This Forest Berry multipack includes four gorgeous prints and colours: Green Bay, Beet Red Polka, Forest Berry Stripe, and festive Holly Berries. Each pair is finished with contrast detailing for a subtle splash of personality. They’re not just underwear — they’re a joy to wear.
Final Thoughts
So yes, they really are just really, really lovely comfy big pants — and that’s exactly what makes them so good. These bamboo full briefs from British Boxers are proof that underwear can be soft, sustainable, supportive and still stylish. Whether you’re a long-time full brief fan or trying them for the first time, this multipack is the perfect way to experience what great underwear should feel like. Once you wear them, you'll wonder why you ever wore anything else.
