Saxx, the first significant innovation in men’s underwear design in decades, has been making a name for itself over the past 2 years by providing superior comfort to men’s gentle bits with a patented “contact-free” design. After lots of help and love from all around the continent, Saxx has decided it is time to give back!
For the month of November, Saxx will be donating $1 of every pair sold to the organization called Movember, which is headed up by Prostate Cancer Canada (PCC). Meredith Bongers of PCC has said that they are “really excited to have Saxx involved” and that “it looks like a fantastic product and fit for Movember!”
For those that aren’t familiar with the brotherhood known as Movember, this is where men all over the world grow a mustache for the month of November all in the name of raising awareness of the improvement of men’s health, and specifically, prostate cancer.
In addition to donating $1 of every pair sold, Saxx has also set up a Movember page where people can join the team and contribute more to the cause: http://ca.movember.com/mospace/135333 .

We congratulate Saxx Apparel for selling their 50,000th Pair! I reviewed them a while back and think they are perfect for any sporting activity you do. They will keep you comfy and all in place. I was really worried about when I saw the design that it would be complicated, crazy or just hard to wear. I was very surprised to find that they fit very well.
If you have already ordered from Saxx you will get an email letting you send a coupon code to some of your friends. They will get 15% off their order.
Lastly, take a look at the video that explains their technology! I think you will enjoy them!
Saxx Apparel is a new company many of you have heard about. They are taking a new approach to the world of men’s underwear and we had the opportunity to talk to Trent Kitsch, the founder of Saxx.
How did you get into the Underwear business?
I am the founder of Saxx, and came up with the idea as an inspiration while salmon fishing in the Ocean.
What inspired you for your new and innovative design?
I was wearing an ocean suit and had my legs together in the front nose of the boat. Because of the suit and my spot on the boat my balls were on my legs and I was uncomfortable. I thought to myself “how could I re-design men’s underwear to prevent contact and be more comfortable?”
It was quiet and I was looking out over the calm ocean and I began designing the “Saxx Comfort Side Panels” in my mind. When I got back to Grad School, I hired a professional fashion designer and we got to work. Alot of prototyping later Saxx was born.
Can you tell us what styles you currently have?
We currently have three lines with four different leg length styles.
Saxx Everyday is out high quality 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex Everyday Cotton line. Mid weight and comfortable, offered in the Trunk & Boxer Brief, Long Johns
Saxx Bamboo is our best selling line and make with a Bamboo Cotton. Very lightweight and comfortable, offered in the Trunk & Boxer Brief, Long Johns
Saxx Performance is our Athletic line, with a moisture wicking poly/spandex. Offered in Trunk, Boxer Brief, and Long Legs, Long Johns
What is your best selling style?
Our Best selling Style is the Saxx Bamboo Boxer Brief and a close second the Saxx Bamboo Trunk. The Bamboos are awesome.
You offer just black, are you going to expand into more colors.
We are going to have white available for Spring 2010 and we are also working on a custom print, boardshorts, and a low rise version of the underwear.
Where can people buy your undies at?
There is a store list at www.saxxapparel.com <http://www.saxxapparel.com/> and if not buying through the website, check out one of our retail locations.
Any plans for the future you can share with us?
Make the most comfortable underwear for men around a quality and innovative brand.We’ve have some sport innovations in the works, a jock and some other products in the early development stages.
Saxx is the evolution of men’s underwear and once you try a pair you will be happy you did. Saxx look good on and we have designed the pouch to have room, which makes you look good!
Saxx Apparel is a very interesting company. They make boxer briefs, which you know is not my favorite, but they are made to keep your boys in place. They have a very interesting design with panels that keeps everything up and also dry. This is great if you do sports or are real active during the day.
Upon seeing the design, I was a little unsure of how it would fit. It was one of those things that it was either going to be incredible or something that would, as in today’s lexicon, would FAIL. I got the regular boxer briefs and gave them a shot.
I got what was listed as my size, and they were a little big. I figured, “oh no, I’m in trouble now!” But, it really was comfortable. I was surprised the pouch gave me such support. I like everything being held in place and these did that. When you see the design you will be like, how does it do it? I will answer, I don’t know but I’m glad it did. It’s a great design and one that I wish I had gotten a smaller size. I was told that if I wash in hot and dry on high they would shrink. I will update you on that. But all in all they are well worth a try!

I would say if you’re active, you should definitely give Saxx a try! They are made for the more active guy! I think they will go far! We just did an interview with them and should have that posted in the next week or so. If you’re on Twitter and following them, they posted about their photo shoot last week. And gave you a preview!
There were furnished by Saxx Apparel and can be purchased at their site. The boxer briefs I reviewed are the Every Day Boxer Brief and they retail for $24.99.
something that would, as in today’s lexicon, would FAIL. I got the regular boxer briefs and gave them a shot.
