Study: Boxers are better than briefs for men who want to be dads

There's more work to be done but experts suggest ditching the tight underwear while trying to conceive.
When it comes to underwear, different men have different preferences, but when it comes to sperm health, the boxer short is best. This comes from a new study out of Harvard this week. According to the author of the study published in the journal Human Reproduction , briefs really can lead to hot temperatures that can lower sperm counts . Sorry, brief lovers. Researchers looked at the sperm counts of more than 600 men who went to the Massachusetts General Hospital with their partners between 2000 and 2017 for help with fertility. The men also answered questions about their lifestyle choices, including which sort of underwear they prefer.
