Two prints, two different fits
If you are choosing between the Flat Front Boxer Goldfish and the Original Hot Pink, the decision is about more than just print. These two styles have different constructions, and the right one depends on how you like your underwear to fit.
The Flat Front Boxer Goldfish is a boxer with a double-layered gusset and a flat front. The Original Hot Pink is a full brief with a soft gusset made from the same fabric as the outer garment. Both are made from the same 90% cotton, 10% spandex fabric, but the cut and gusset design change the feel.
Product facts
- Flat Front Boxer Goldfish: The New Improved Flat Front Boxer have a double layered gusset area and a flat front. Because it is double layered it does provide some smoothing. The double layer gives a firmer front panel and smoother lines, which is helpful if you want shaping without extra room.
Flat Front Boxer Goldfish - Original Hot Pink: These are a flat fronted style with a soft gusset made from the same soft fabric as the outer garment. The single-layer gusset is softer and less structured, which some people prefer for a more natural feel.
Original Hot Pink
Fit and front panel: boxer vs original brief
The Flat Front Boxer Goldfish has a double-layered gusset and a flat front. The Original Hot Pink has a flat front with a soft, single-layer gusset. Both are flat fronted, but the gusset construction changes the feel.
The Flat Front Boxer is designed to sit at the top of your high hip area, with no leg banding. It is a boxer style, so the leg is loose. The Original Hot Pink sits in the natural crease at the top of the leg and just under the navel, with leg bands that hold it in place.
- Flat Front Boxer Goldfish: Double-layered gusset provides smoothing. Flat front. Elastic waist. No leg banding. Sits at high hip. Comes in sizes S-2XL.
- Original Hot Pink: Soft, single-layer gusset. Flat front. Fabric waist and leg bands (no grippy elastic). Sits at natural leg crease and under navel. Comes in sizes XS-3XL.
When to choose each print
The Goldfish print is a Chinese symbol of good fortune and prosperity. If you like a lucky motif and prefer a boxer cut with a double-layered front, the Flat Front Boxer Goldfish is a good choice. It is also a good option if you want smoothing without a pouch front.
The Original Hot Pink is a retro colour from the eighties. It is a full brief with leg bands, so it stays in place during active movement. It is a good choice if you prefer a traditional brief fit and want a vibrant, bold colour.
What to consider about sizing and care
Both styles are made in New Zealand from the same 90% cotton, 10% spandex fabric. Care is the same for both: cold machine wash with gentle detergent, line dry, and do not soak or bleach.
The Flat Front Boxer Goldfish is sized S-2XL, while the Original Hot Pink is sized XS-3XL. If you need a larger size range, the Original Hot Pink offers more options. The Flat Front Boxer has no leg banding, so it will sit differently on different body shapes, while the Original Hot Pink has leg bands that hold the brief in place.
