Good underwear is the foundation of a comfortable day. Mctam boxer shorts have established themselves in Germany as one of the most popular pairs of men's underwear — thanks to high-quality cotton, an ergonomic fit, and a price that truly impresses.

Material & Quality in Detail

The choice of material is crucial for underwear — and Mctam makes no compromises here:

95% Cotton — Natural, breathable, and skin-friendly. Cotton regulates moisture, keeping you comfortably cool in summer and warm in winter.
5% Elastane — The elastane content ensures optimal stretch and shape retention. The boxer shorts maintain their shape even after many washes.
Oeko-Tex Standard 100 — Every component of the textile has been tested for harmful substances. The seal guarantees: no heavy metals, no pesticides, no allergenic dyes.

Oeko-Tex Standard 100 is not a marketing term — it is an independently verified quality seal that is particularly important for underwear, as it has direct skin contact. Mctam fully meets these strict requirements.

Fit & Comfort

Mctam boxer shorts are developed with an ergonomic fit — this means: the cut follows the natural physique of a man and sits exactly where it should.

No slipping — The elastic waistband reliably keeps the boxer shorts in the right position — whether sitting, standing, or moving.
No pinching — The soft cotton and well-crafted waistband distribute pressure evenly — no uncomfortable squeezing at the hips or thighs.
Optimal length — The leg length is designed to remain invisible under any trousers and does not ride up.
All-day comfort — Thanks to the breathable cotton material, you stay comfortably dry and comfortable even during long work days or sports.

Size Chart – Finding the right size

Mctam boxer shorts are available in the following sizes. The information refers to hip circumference:

Size Hip circumference (cm) Clothing size (approx.) Recommendation
M 88 – 94 cm 46 – 48 Slim to normal build
L 94 – 100 cm 50 – 52 Normal to muscular build
XL 100 – 108 cm 54 – 56 Muscular build
XXL 108 – 116 cm 58 – 60 Large, muscular build
3XL 116 – 124 cm 62 – 64 Plus size

Tip: Mctam boxer shorts generally fit true to size. If you are unsure between two sizes, we recommend the larger size — for more freedom of movement and long-term comfort.

6 Pack vs. 12 Pack – which is more worth it?

Mctam offers its boxer shorts in two pack sizes — both have their advantages:

Feature 6 Pack 12 Pack
Quantity 6 boxer shorts 12 boxer shorts
Price per unit Approx. €3.08 Even cheaper
Ideal for Individuals, trying them out Families, bargain hunters, frequent users
Supply Approx. 1 week Approx. 2 weeks
Storage cost Low One-time purchase, peace of mind
Recommendation For newcomers For loyal customers

Our tip: If you don't know Mctam yet, start with the 6 pack. If you are already convinced, go straight for the 12 pack — the price per unit is even lower and the supply lasts significantly longer.

Care & Durability

With proper care, Mctam boxer shorts will retain their shape, color, and quality for a long time:

Machine wash 40°C — Gentle but effective. Cotton handles 40°C without problems.
No tumble drying — Heat damages the elastane content and can permanently change the shape. Air drying is preferred.
No bleach — Damages fibers and fades colors.
Wash inside out — Protects the exterior from pilling and maintains color intensity.
Wash similar colors together — Do not wash dark boxer shorts with light laundry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Mctam boxer shorts really Oeko-Tex certified?

Yes. Mctam boxer shorts carry the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certificate — one of the globally recognized testing seals for textiles tested for harmful substances. This means: no dangerous chemicals, no allergenic dyes, safe for the skin.

How many boxer shorts does a man need per year?

Experts recommend a supply of at least 7–10 boxer shorts — that is, one for every day of the week plus spares. The Mctam 12 pack is therefore the optimal solution for most men: buy once, stay well-stocked for a long time.

When should you replace boxer shorts?

As a rule of thumb: replace boxer shorts every 6–12 months. Signs that replacement is needed include a worn-out waistband, loss of shape, discoloration, or thinning material. With the affordable Mctam 12 pack, replacing them is not a major cost factor.

Are Mctam boxer shorts suitable for sports?

Yes, for light exercise and everyday life — the elastane content ensures good freedom of movement. For intensive sports like running or cycling, we recommend special sports underwear with moisture management.

Can I return Mctam boxer shorts to Da Meso?

Yes — Da Meso offers a 14-day right of return. Please note that for hygienic reasons, underwear can only be returned unopened and in its original packaging.
