Title: Boxers with pockets

Description:
BACKGROUND 
     1. Field 
     The present general inventive concept relates generally to boxers, and particularly, to boxers with pockets. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     Traditional boxers are functional to a point, but do not have any pockets available for use when wearing boxers at home. Many men prefer to unwind and relax while wearing boxers essentially as shorts. 
     Unfortunately, a lack of pocket access on traditional boxers requires wearers to hold more items in their hands than is necessary, and attempting to carry items like cell phones along with plates or glasses between rooms is especially difficult without the availability of pockets. 
     Therefore, there is a need for boxers with pockets to receive items, such that a user does not have to carry excess items. 
     SUMMARY 
     The present general inventive concept provides boxers with pockets. 
     Additional features and utilities of the present general inventive concept will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the general inventive concept. 
     The foregoing and/or other features and utilities of the present general inventive concept may be achieved by providing boxers, including a main body to be worn on at least a portion of a pelvis of a user, and at least one pocket disposed on at least a portion of the main body to store at least one item therein. 
     The at least one pocket may be constructed from a shape memory alloy. 
     The at least one pocket may be adjustable in size to accommodate a size of the at least one item. 
     The at least one pocket may retain the size after being adjusted by the user. 
     The boxers may further include a retention member disposed on at least a portion of a top edge of the main body to adjust in size to accommodate a size of a waist of the user. 
     The boxers may further include a cleansing unit disposed within at least a portion of the main body to reduce an odor dispersed throughout the main body. 
     The cleansing unit may emit a natural scent to counteract a build up of odor from a body of the user or external dirt attaching to the main body. 
     The cleansing unit may absorb the odor via an odor neutralant.

       FIG. 1  illustrates a front perspective view of boxers  100  with pockets  120 , according to an exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept. 
     The boxers  100  may be constructed from at least one of metal, plastic, shape memory alloy, and rubber, etc., but is not limited thereto. 
     The boxers  100  may include a main body  110 , a plurality of pockets  120 , a retention member  130 , and a cleansing unit  140 , but is not limited thereto. 
     The main body  110  may include an outer surface  111  and an inner surface  112 , but is not limited thereto. 
     The main body  110  may be worn around a pelvis of a user. Specifically, the inner surface  112  of the main body  110  may receive the pelvis of the user therein. 
     The main body  110  may be constructed with a shape memory alloy. The main body  110  may be designed to stretch in, on, and/or around the pelvis of the user to expand and/or shrink in size based on a preference of the user. As such, the main body  110  may adjust in size to accommodate the pelvis of the user. Thereafter, the main body  110  may retain the size once it is fitted to the user. 
     The plurality of pockets  120  may be constructed with a shape memory alloy. More specifically, the plurality of pockets  120  may be designed to stretch in, on, and/or around at least a portion of each of the plurality of pockets  120  to expand and/or shrink in size based on the preference of the user. As such, the plurality of pockets  120  may adjust in size to accommodate at least one large item, such as a baseball, and/or at least one small item, such as a pencil. Thereafter, the plurality of pockets  120  may retain their size once they are fitted to the preference of the user. 
     The plurality of pockets  120  may be disposed on at least a portion of the outer surface  111  of the main body  110 . Alternatively, the plurality of pockets  120  may be a single pocket, such that at least one pocket  120  may be disposed on at least a portion of the outer surface  111  of the main body  110 . In other words, a number of pockets may depend on the preference of the user. 
     Moreover, the at least one pocket  120  may store at least one item therein. 
     The retention member  130  may include an elastic cord, a shape memory alloy, and a drawstring, but is not limited thereto. 
     The retention member  130  may be disposed on at least a portion of a top edge of the main body  110 . The retention member  130  may be designed to stretch in, on, and/or around at least a portion thereof to expand and/or shrink in size based on the preference of the user. As such, the retention member  130  may adjust in size to accommodate a size of a waist of the user. Thereafter, the retention member  130  may retain the size once it is fitted to the user. 
     The cleansing unit  140  may include a fragrance dispersion unit and an odor absorbing device, but is not limited thereto. 
     The cleansing unit  140  may be disposed on and/or within at least a portion of the main body  110 , such as within a lining between the outer surface  111  and the inner surface  112 . The cleansing unit  140  may reduce an odor dispersed throughout the main body  110 . In other words, the cleansing unit  140  may prevent a buildup of the odor from germs and other foreign objects that adhere to the main body  110 . 
     More specifically, the cleansing unit  140  may emit a natural scent to counteract a build up of odor from a body of the user and/or external dirt attaching to the boxers  100 . The natural scent may include lemon, lime, and/or any other fragrance known in the art to counter odors. Alternatively, the cleansing unit  140  may absorb the odor via an odor neutralant, such that the odor may be removed. The odor neutralant may be a deodorizing granule, baking soda, a vinegar-like powder, and/or any other product known in the art to remove odors. 
     Therefore, the boxers  100  may be an ideal solution for the user who needs an increased ability to store items. 
     The present general inventive concept may include boxers  100 , including a main body  110  to be worn on at least a portion of a pelvis of a user, and at least one pocket  120  disposed on at least a portion of the main body  120  to store at least one item therein. 
     The at least one pocket  120  may be constructed from a shape memory alloy. 
     The at least one pocket  120  may be adjustable in size to accommodate a size of the at least one item. 
     The at least one pocket  120  may retain the size after being adjusted by the user. 
     The boxers  100  may further include a retention member  130  disposed on at least a portion of a top edge of the main body  110  to adjust in size to accommodate a size of a waist of the user. 
     The boxers  100  may further include a cleansing unit  140  disposed within at least a portion of the main body  110  to reduce an odor dispersed throughout the main body  110 . 
     The cleansing unit  140  may emit a natural scent to counteract a build up of odor from a body of the user or external dirt attaching to the main body  110 . 
     The cleansing unit  140  may absorb the odor via an odor neutralant. 
     Although a few embodiments of the present general inventive concept have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the general inventive concept, the scope of which is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.
