Boys' Underwear & Socks, Ages 2 to 8
Boys' underwear for ages 2 to 8 runs from the first pairs after potty training through to the early school years. It is split into briefs, boxers and trunks, so you can go straight to the shape he likes. Briefs sit close with no leg. Trunks have a short, fitted leg that stays put under shorts and PE kit. Boxers have a looser leg for boys who dislike anything snug. Everyday socks sit in the same section.
Go by his height rather than his age. A 3-year-old usually takes 104 cm and a 6-year-old 122 cm. If he is between sizes, choose the larger one so the waistband sits comfortably as he grows. Trunks are sold in some shops as boxer briefs, and the fit is the same. Socks are not sized by height, so check the size on the product page, and wash them inside out so fluff does not collect on the outside.

Your questions answered
MINOTI underwear and socks for boys aged 2 to 8 include briefs, boxers, trunks and everyday socks, in centimetre sizes such as 116 cm for a typical 5-year-old, with sock sizes shown on each product page.
What is the difference between trunks and boxers for a young boy?
Trunks have a short, fitted leg and boxers have a looser leg. From about age 4, trunks tend to suit active days and PE because they do not ride up. Boxers suit boys who find a close fit uncomfortable.
What size underwear should I buy for a 7-year-old?
A 7-year-old usually takes 128 cm. If he is tall for his age or already fills out his current pairs, look at the next size up. Height is a better guide than age, so measure him if you are unsure.
