Our active bamboo fabric isn't just softer, it's mechanically superior. Micro-gaps in the fibers create continuous airflow while wicking moisture 3x faster than cotton. Add natural anti-bacterial properties, and you've got underwear built for performance.
"These are my favorite and most comfortable boxers for workout. I used to be all swampy and sticky with my cotton boxers. So glad I switched to Ballast.”
Camelio Jordan
Feels like wearing nothing
“It feels like I'm literally wearing nothing. Ballast’s boxers are incredibly comfortable and breathable.”
Anthony Keyser
incredibly breathable
“I thought my CK boxer shorts were breathable until I tried Ballast ! So comfortable and great visually; love that feeling of 'being cradled'. Thoroughly recommended.”
Jeremy Vasten
Love the bamboo fabric
“I run daily and these don't chafe or ride up at all. Way better than my old Nike compression shorts. The bamboo stays dry the whole run.”
Davis Humerson
Perfect for intense workouts
“I wear them during my toughest Crossfit workouts and they hold up great. Lightweight, breathable, and zero ride-up during squats. Finally found underwear that keeps up."
Lucas Benecci
Game changer
"Thought the pouch thing was marketing BS. First wear proved me wrong. Everything just sits better. Nothing stuck, no more constant adjusting. It just works amazingly."
Denis Berkson
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Ballast different from other underwear?
100% bamboo performance fabric, ergonomic support pouch, 7" anti-chafe legs. Engineered to eliminate sweat, chafing, and ride-up. Not just claim to be "comfortable".
Why bamboo over cotton or synthetics?
Wicks moisture 3x faster than cotton, breathes better than polyester, naturally resists odor, lasts 3x longer. Better performance without the downsides.
Do they prevent chafing?
Our 7" bamboo boxer briefs are specifically engineered to end chafing for good : extra-soft, naturally sweat-wicking fabric, longer legs for full coverage, and a stay-put fit that won't ride up. Plus, the anti-odor tech means you stay fresh no matter how hard you train. If you're tired of irritation and discomfort, Ballast is the solution you've been waiting for.
Will the pouch feel weird?
No. It's a subtle contour that just feels natural. Provides support without bulk. Most customers say "it just feels right" after first wear.
How long do they last?
2+ years with regular wear. Bamboo is stronger than cotton, resists pilling, maintains shape. Backed by 60-day guarantee.
Are Ballast boxer briefs good for sensitive skin?
Yes. Zero synthetic dyes, chemicals, or polyester. Hypoallergenic bamboo won't cause irritation like plastic-based fabrics can.
How do I wash Ballast underwear?
Machine wash cold, tumble dry low or hang dry. It stays soft after 100+ washes. No special care needed.
