Soft Stretch Active 5" Boxer Briefs – Riding up during daily wear / sizing help?

Product Question/Recommendation

Hey everyone,

Looking for some quick advice on the Soft Stretch Active Boxer Briefs.

I bought the 5" version to wear under my 5" unlined running shorts (Pace Breakers / Surge). For running, they’re fantastic—breathable, sweat-wicking, and supportive. But when I wear them casually for all-day walking or under pants, they constantly ride up my thighs.

A few questions for those who have these:

• Does switching to 7" fix the ride-up? If you went with 7", do they stick out under 5" shorts?

• Does sizing up help? My true size feels pretty snug around the leg bands. Would sizing up stop them from pulling up, or just make them too loose?

• Are these purely for workouts? Do you save these strictly for runs and stick to Always In Motion (modal) for daily wear?

Thanks for any tips!
