The lifelong search continues to find the perfect boxers. To start with I really don’t like wearing them at all, I don’t like the feeling of having my banana restricted, that goes back to high school days, but there are times, like when I wear thin tailored dress pants that letting it go wild doesn’t go over well when giving a corporate presentation, so I opt for something that fits my basic criteria of being super lightweight, comfortable, colorful (that’s important to me) and yet adequate to keep the goods on a bit of a leash. These meet most of those basics pretty well. I literally forget I’m wearing them they are so soft, lightweight and snug fitting, they breathe, and the lavender ones I picked as my test sample look awesome. As far as the sack for the jewels, way too many shorts are small and restrictive and I won’t wear them. These have more room and they stretch a lot, the pouch is made of very stretchy spandex and the rest is a salad of several fabrics blended together, actually they won’t be able to hold a good man down, but they prevent a lot of attention-getting wagging around. OTHER STUFF They arrive in a tiny envelope the size of a cell phone. Unique and saving a lot of resources while sealing in the item for sanitary and cleanliness reasons. I purposely ordered a size that was two or even three sizes larger than I usually would and they are very snug so I would advise ordering a size or two up. Their description of the pouch is accurate, it does stretch as needed but beware the waistband is a lit low. One turnoff is that they incent you with a discount code but they sent these in January and the code expired December 31. That doesn’t make sense. YES NO MAYBE Since they make a big point of comparing them to real cotton I have to say I have a strong preference for real cotton garments, but it’s true these really are softer. At twelve bucks each they are reasonable, and the options for different hues is better done than a lot of other brands. While I can’t demonstrate with a picture, I hope you can understand what I mean, and if you are buying them for someone else, take it from a man’s opinion that these really are comfortable and are good at being good junk drawers, I like them.

I have switch to only these and Uniqlo airism boxers. They were great in the summer and so far are doing great this winter. Planning to buy a few more pairs. Slight ride up but still way more comfortable than generic briefs. Washed multiple times and materials feel the same. Highly recommend. Read more
Modal is really soft after the first wash they have gotten softer and more comfortable at a affordable price compared to other brands nice add to the collection Read more
Very soft material, but they need to put more support in the waist band, they kept feeling like they were slipping down. Read more
OK, I can kind of live with the name “Banana Cover” being printed on the outside, near the waist. It’s peculiar, but it’s small, so not too bad. Dumb, but defensible. But the CARE label is ALSO printed on the outside, not the inside! So on the right leg, near the bottom, it repeats the “cute” name, then has the standard “care” label re washing, etc. Which looks dumb; that should be inside. My guess? It was cheaper to get them manufactured with printing only on one side. My suggestion? Put them BOTH on the inside, where they belong. Other than that, they’re reasonably comfortable and fit okay. The odd graphic design choices are gonna keep bothering me, though. Read more
In the perpetual search for the perfect underwear, these come pretty close: Great price, great colors, fantastic fabric, unnoticeable seams, and fit that's good enough I'll try another pair. If these had a fully supportive pouch like Obviously boxers, they might just be perfect. As they are, I find the pouch to be just a little less supportive and separate just a little less than I would like. But the other attributes may make up for that -- will just have to try a longer-term test. Oh, but the name ... why in the world these have such a stupid name, and why that name has to be displayed on the outside are beyond me. I don't even mind the washing instructions on the outside leg -- these are trying to be hip like much more expensive Mack Weldon boxer briefs that have the printing on the outside. Impossible to be hip like that with such a monumentally stupid name. Read more
