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.

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

Soft and comfortable. Fits well. Read more
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
I've worn Uniqlo airism underwear for many years now to the point where other underwear just feels awful. That being said, I wanted to find new underwear on amazon that were just like the airism underwear. This was the only brand that seemed semi-legit on amazon with good reviews, so I tried it out. At first I thought it was weird because the part where your private touches is not the soft material like the rest of the underwear is, but I realized overtime this is much better as this material is probably much better for your private part. It seems to be cotton, and I heard other materials touching your privates is not good for your health. Anyways, the material of this underwear is just as good if not BETTER than the airism underwear from Uniqlo. It just feels like heaven. So soft. It honestly makes my day to put these on. I feel like superman. I'm not exaggerating. I bough a second pair, and I plan on eventually buying enough where I have one for each day of the week. One thing I did notice though is the waist fits perfect on me. I bought the size small. I am a small guy so under 5 foot 5 and my waist ranges anywhere from 27 to 29 (depending on how much I had to eat). While the waist fit well, the actual leg openings seemed a tad bit tight. Not bad tight. Just fitted like compression shorts. However because of the material itself being so so so soft, you don't notice it much, and throughout the day it doesn't affect me at all and I don't notice it whatsoever. I am only reminded of it when I initially put it on in the morning. I've machine washed and dryed these as normal with all my other clothes and they have not shrunk. If they did it was like 5% max and not noticeable. That being said, my suggestion to the manufacturer would be to make the leg openings on the small size a "tad" bit wider. And I mean literally like several mm. Even if they don't it's fine though. I will try to gain more weight and size up to the medium! So in summary. Just buy these. You won't regret it! Also I love the name. I only realized after the fact why it was called "a Banana cover". I always joke about it with my wife and now it's sort of like an inside joke with us. Read more
