Boys' Underwear Trunks
Boys' trunks here are everyday underwear rather than swimwear: close-fitting, with short legs, worn under school trousers, joggers and shorts. Swimming trunks share the name but sit in the swimwear pages. The sizes run from little boys to teenagers, with separate pages for ages 2 to 8 and 8 to 15 if you want a narrower choice.
Trunks sit between briefs and boxer shorts: snug like briefs, with short legs like boxers, so nothing rides up under PE kit. The best boys' trunks are the ones he forgets he is wearing. When you buy boys' trunks, go by height, and if he is between sizes, go up, since a waistband that digs in is uncomfortable all day. Wash new pairs before the first wear and keep dark and light colours apart.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's online shop sells boys' trunks as everyday underwear, close-fitting with short legs, for boys aged 0 to 15 in centimetre sizes, while swimming trunks sit in MINOTI swimwear.
Can boys wear underwear trunks as swim trunks?
No. Underwear trunks are made for everyday wear and hold water, so they sag when wet. For the pool, choose swim trunks from the swimwear pages; a 7-year-old usually takes 128 cm.
What size underwear trunks should a 10-year-old boy wear?
A 10-year-old usually takes 146 cm. Trunks should sit snug at the waist without leaving a red mark, and the legs should not ride up when he sits cross-legged on the classroom floor.
