It seems how to fold underwear has been a hot topic here at Mama’s Laundry Talk, with two posts on underwear in the past week!
We’ll cover how to fold men’s boxers and then move on to something a little less…personal.
Start with lying the boxers flat and smoothing out the material with your hands.
Fold the right side to the left side so the rear of the underwear is facing out.
Pick up the boxers by the outer edges and give them a quick flap.
Place back down on your table so the two ends are closest to you and the “seam” edge is at the top.
Bring the “seam” edge down until the boxers have a rectangular shape and smooth the material again.
Finally, now fold the boxers from left to right, bringing the waistband end over to the legs.
See how flat they lay in the last picture? They stack or file beautifully in the drawer when they are folded in this way.
If boxers are exceptionally large or long-legged, you can fold them in thirds to take up less space in the drawer.

This is exactly what I do! Hubby instructed me when we first got married. 🙂
Ha ha! Smart fellow you have there!
I fold my husband’s boxers over one more time, but it doesn’t always stay folded that way. Maybe I will try this method the next time I fold and see what he thinks! Thanks!
I feel like it’s sad that I loved this tutorial! I fold boxers several times a week and though I don’t do it your way, it’s nice to see how others do it.
Ha ha! Of course it’s not sad! (Coming from the girl who does love some laundry!)
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Thanks Mama’s Laundry talk. You helped a man livin’ on his own figure out how to save on space! I figured I had too much when I just wasn’t storing it right!
Yay! Glad to help. 🙂
