Organizing a man's underwear drawer: space-saving ideas for boxers and briefs
Underwear drawers are near always in a mess: briefs, socks, boxers, bras are all very small items, they take up very little space individually, but together, they can become very bulky. If you have many items of underwear, you will know how difficult it is to keep the underwear drawer in order: sooner or later, the drawer will fall into chaos.
So, how can we keep a neat underwear drawer? Just fold your underwear properly after washing it: in this way, it will be much easier to be able to maintain order and store everything efficiently.

@sara.ilbianconiglio is an Instagram user who shares many very useful tips on her account to better organize our homes. In one of her videos, she explains how to fold men's briefs properly. Her method is very simple:
- start by folding the two sides of the briefs towards the center; the outer edge of the top, the widest part should reach the opposite end of the lowest, widest part;
- at this point, fold the elasticated waist at the top downwards, to the point where the two folded sides cross;
- finally, fold the bottom end upwards, inserting it under the elasticated waist.
In this way, the briefs will remain folded up and you will not run the risk of them "popping open" and making a mess in the drawer.
2. Boxers

For boxers, there are two methods, both very effective in keeping them neat in the drawer:
- Method 1: lay the boxers open on a flat surface and fold the elasticate waist downwards; then fold the two sides of the boxers towards the back, turn them over and close them like a bag by rolling them up, starting from the waist.
- Method 2: take the boxers and fold them into a triangle by lifting the two lower corners of the legs; at this point, fold the two ends of the waist inwards and then downwards; lift the tip of the triangle and insert it under the waist. Your boxers are ready for the drawer or suitcase!
You can see these methods demonstrated in detail by watching @sara.ilbianconiglio's video. Happy folding!
