8 Tips: How To Keep Your Drawlz Boxer Briefs Looking New

8 Ways Keep Your Drawlz on Point

If you're anything like me, you want your Drawlz to look and feel fresh, comfortable, and, most importantly, like new for as long as possible. But no matter what we do, life happens; washes wears, and time do their thing.


With that said, there are ways to keep your Drawlz looking as sharp and smooth as the day you bought them for longer than you might expect. Whether you’re into the fit, the comfort, or the style, you deserve to keep them looking new, and this guide has everything you need to do exactly that.


Grab your favorite Cottonz, take some notes, and keep this in your back pocket so you can maintain your next new pair of Drawlz for as long as possible.

1. Wash With Care

Let’s start with the basics, and that’s taking care of your Drawlz right from the beginning. We’re all guilty of tossing our clothes in the wash without thinking twice, but your Drawlz deserve a little extra TLC. Washing them in cold water is key to keeping them looking new for a longer time seeing as hot water can break down the fabric and cause them to lose their softness and elasticity.


Also, do yourself a favor and use the gentle cycle. This helps maintain the integrity of the fabric without putting too much strain on the fibers. TLDR; cold water and gentle cycle for the win.

2. Skip the Harsh Detergents

You wouldn’t use harsh chemicals on your skin, so why would you use harsh detergents on your Drawlz? Stick to fabric-safe detergents that are gentle and won’t break down the fibers of your boxer briefs. Harsh chemicals can cause fading and wear down the elasticity of the waistband and fabric over time.


Look for a detergent that’s made for delicates or a mild, natural detergent. You’ll not only preserve your Drawlz, but your skin will appreciate it too. Plus, using a gentle detergent means that your boxer briefs will stay feeling soft and comfortable without that stiff, crispy feel you sometimes get with stronger detergents.

3. Avoid Fabric Softener Like the Plague

While fabric softener may smell good and make everything feel soft it is your Drawlz worst enemy. This is because fabric softeners coat your fabrics with a layer of chemicals that can break down the natural fibers over time. This leads to a softer feel in the short term, but drastically shortens their lifespan.


If you want a little extra softness, skip the fabric softener altogether and let the air do the job. Your boxer briefs will feel like new for much longer.

4. Air Dry Them the Right Way

I know it’s tempting to toss your underwear into the dryer and forget about them, but hear me out—air drying your Drawlz will save them in the long run. The heat from the dryer can break down the fabric, shrink your waistband, and cause your boxer briefs to lose their shape. Plus, it can make the elastic wear out faster.


So, here's the pro tip: lay them flat or hang them up to air dry. Not only will they last longer, but they’ll keep their fresh feel and shape. Let them breathe and dry naturally, and they’ll return the favor by staying looking brand new for longer.

5. Don’t Overstuff the Washer or Dryer

This one’s simple but important; you know how your clothes come out of the wash or dryer all wrinkled and twisted when you overstuff them? Well, it’s the same with your Drawlz. When you overstuff the washer or dryer, your boxer briefs are likely to get bunched up, stretched out, or even damaged by friction against other clothes.


To make sure your Drawlz stay looking fresh, give them room to move in the wash and dry. Keep the load light, and they’ll get a much gentler clean and dry and be less likely to get tangled or pulled out of shape.

6. Rotate Your Drawlz for Even Wear

This may sound a bit extra, but hear me out: rotating your Drawlz means less wear and tear on each pair. I know it’s easy to grab the same pair every day, but if you’ve got a few pairs in your rotation, they’ll last longer. By spreading out the wear, you avoid stressing out one single pair of boxer briefs too much.


You’ll notice the difference—when you’ve got a good rotation, each pair will stay fresher, and you won’t have to deal with sagging or elastic failure. It’s simple; the more you spread the love between your pairs, the longer they’ll serve you.

7. Store Them Properly to Keep Them in Shape

How you store your Drawlz is just as important as how you wash them. Avoid cramming them into drawers where they get bunched up. The more you fold them neatly, the better they’ll maintain their shape. This also prevents any unnecessary wrinkles or stretching.


If you have a drawer divider or even a simple bin to keep your Drawlz organized, use it. Your boxer briefs will last longer, and you'll have a neat, easy-to-find pair for any occasion. Plus, you get the bonus of not having to dig through a disorganized drawer every time.

8. Avoid Ironing or Steaming

Drawlz aren’t dress pants, and ironing them won’t make them more comfortable or stylish. In fact, it can damage the fabric and weaken the fibers. Keep things simple, let them air dry, and keep them wrinkle-free naturally.


If you’re tempted to steam them to get rid of any wrinkles, just remember that heat isn’t always your friend when it comes to fabric care. Save the steamer for your shirts and pants, and let your Drawlz chill out on their own.

Follow These Tricks to Make Them Last

From washing with care to air drying and proper storage, these simple yet effective tricks will ensure that your Drawlz stay in tip-top shape for as long as possible. Treat your underwear right and they’ll keep providing that fresh feel, maximum comfort, and support you need to tackle the day with confidence.
