Heat and plastic quietly wreck sperm quality. NUMBNUTS removes both. A natural-fibre boxer with zero plastic on skin, and a cooling insert that keeps you cooler where it counts. No drugs. No subscription.
No card to reserve. Free shipping over $65. Full refund before it ships. Never plastic.
In a published study, healthy men who wore polyester around the scrotum dropped to zero sperm within months. They stopped, and it came back. Cotton and wool did nothing.1
This is not marketing fear. It is peer-reviewed, and it is the fastest men’s health crisis nobody is talking about.
You cannot change your genes. You can change the two things you put on the most heat-sensitive part of your body every single day: heat and plastic. See where you stand.
Population trends from peer-reviewed research (Levine et al., Human Reproduction Update). NUMBNUTS is a comfort product, not a medical device.
You cannot pick your genes. You can pick how much heat and plastic you put on the most temperature-sensitive part of your body. Most men get both wrong, every single day.
Read the full scienceYour testicles need to sit 2 to 4°C below body temperature to make good sperm. A laptop, a hot seat or a long drive pushes them over the line. Even a small, steady rise slows production down.2
Most boxers are polyester and nylon. They hold heat in and build a static charge against your skin. In Dr Shafik’s research, that combination dropped sperm counts hard. Cotton and wool did not.1
Based on published research, including Shafik in Fertility and Sterility on fabric and fertility, and clinical reviews of scrotal cooling and semen quality. NUMBNUTS is a comfort product, not a medical device. Full references on request.
NUMBNUTS handles both at once, and you wear it like normal underwear.
Pull on the NUMBNUTS boxer. Soft natural fibre, zero plastic against your skin. The trapped heat and static are gone on day one.
Freeze a Chill Insert and slot it into the center sleeve. It holds cool for hours, far longer than ice, with no mess.
Desk, car, flight, gym bag. Cool where the heat actually builds. Then rinse, refreeze and reuse for years.
Polyester, nylon and elastane are plastics. Not plastic-like. Plastic. Polyester is PET, the same family as a drinks bottle. Most underwear is made of it, and it sits against your skin all day.
What we are not saying. No study shows that your underwear puts microplastics inside your body, and the testis findings are an association, not proof of cause. What is established is simpler. Synthetic fabric is plastic, plastic sheds, and it is turning up in places nobody expected. You can choose what sits against your skin. That is the whole argument.
A natural-fibre boxer with zero plastic on skin, plus a reusable cooling insert that drops into a center sleeve. Wear it all day. Reuse it for years.


Everything to fix both problems, built to reuse instead of bin.

Same research. Same heat. Same boxers in the drawer. Two very different men in five years.
Keeps the polyester. Keeps the laptop where it is. Tells himself he’ll deal with it when it matters, then finds out where he stands years from now, in a clinic, when the options are expensive and the pressure is real.
Fixes the two inputs he actually controls: heat and plastic. Gives every 74-day sperm cycle from here cooler, plastic-free conditions to run under. Walks into the trying-for-kids conversation prepared, not hoping.
