TENA launches washable boxers for men

United States Essity TENA

Essity announced the US launch of TENA Men's Washable Protective Boxers on March 23, 2026. The reusable underwear is designed for drips and light bladder leaks and has a protective pouch built into a familiar boxer style. TENA says the pouch uses textile technology to capture drips discreetly beneath clothing. Its construction includes a quick-drying top layer, two layers designed to absorb and retain liquid, and a barrier layer intended to contain leaks. The garment's fabric is 96% organic cotton and 4% elastane, providing what the company describes as a soft, breathable fit.

The boxers can be washed with regular laundry. TENA says they are reusable up to 100 times when washed at 104°F, equivalent to 40°C. Sizes range from S to XXXL, and the launch announcement directs buyers exclusively to TENA's US online store. The company positions the underwear as a familiar-looking option for men who feel uncomfortable with traditional guards or disposable briefs because of stigma or visibility.
