Best Pouch Design - Though Size Matters...
I’d never found underwear I particularly liked and mostly put up with baggy boxers because all the other form fitting styles I tried didn’t have a functioning fly and/or were just too confining. Then I became intrigued by this separate pouch idea, with some hesitation from their unaccustomed revealing nature. That hesitation went away the moment I slipped them on.Why I Love This Design:I wasn’t seeking an artificial bulge and was quite pleased with how well their raised inner seam lifts the separate pouches to subtly accentuate size, shape and features, with an uncanny freedom of inside movement that doesn’t overtly add to the visibility outside.I wasn’t looking for athletic style support either, and was unsure of the boxer freedom I might be surrendering. What I found instead was an unconfined feel of things being comfortably in their place in a way that draws me back every day.Spontaneous occasions was not an expected review topic, but the difference with these is just too good to leave out. While some may object to the more confining nature of anything but boxers, it’s how these outer pouches proactively manages the occasion that really sets them apart. Being separated from leg openings is a welcome contrast to boxers that can hang you up or single pouches that squeeze you in. These are a generous pouch stretchiness instead that comfortably expands enough to maintain a least conspicuous relaxed position that virtually eliminates need for adjustment.Why Size Matters:What makes this design work as well as it can begins with the convex lower pouch that’s placed slightly above the body-hugging inseam to gently lift and pleasantly cradle things away from the legs. Next, everything is separated for a complimenting look and a freedom of movement not typically found with body hugging styles. The separate outer pouch fly acts more like a hood that’s easily slipped into and easily accessed by lifting the fabric end. All of this is then brought together with a proper match of their size to yours.Once size can’t fit all with most any pouch design though Separatic does offer some “larger pocket space” versions (as found on the item listing among dropdown photo descriptions to the left of the headline). The only size differences within a lineup then are waist sizes. While this works well for a fit within the lower pouch, accommodating the varied sizes inside the upper pouch becomes relative to how tightly or how loosely it's pulled against the body. Some snugness is always needed against the abdomen, rear and around the legs to avoid ride-up and wedging, and to keep everything in place. Too much snugness can cause cumbersome access and even squeeze you out of the fly, particularly when sitting down. Too loose compromises the form flattering upper pouch look, can get things lost fumbling through excess fabric and even allow things to fall through the lower pouch leg opening.To restate what the manufacturer mentions, the lineup size out-of-the-box should fit well for those midway in a size range, with a near average build and a near average relaxed length. For others, the fabric and waistband is stretchy enough to comfortably choose one waist size difference to accommodate a larger or smaller body build and/or relaxed length – particularly with the Separatec. With this slender frame reviewer, an in-between size 31” waist and average length meant that mediums always worn in other styles are a bit loose with the Separatec making a smaller size needed instead. If particularly endowed, it would be the mediums for the looser pouch. A larger build/relaxed length would have called for a size up – and so on. To that end, all should function ideally with a waist size snugness where a fully relaxed length end comfortably fills to a grazing of the pouch end.David Archy vs Separatec:Trying each product confirms other reviewer findings that the difference between brands is basically the fabric. With that, the thicker and less stretchy David Archy modal provides its subtle forward enhancement, with no conspicuous uncovering through even the thinnest suit or casual pants. Meanwhile the Separatac is all about a silky smooth stretchiness to allow a dual pouch following of the inner-thigh feel (and thinner pant reveal) of wearing nothing at all.I hope you found this review helpful.

Same factory as David Archy...
...makes Separatec. Exact same pattern. Material/fabric is the same, too.This style is great for base-ballers that need relief from chafing. Keeping your parts properly packaged is what this style is all about, while preserving ease of access and convenience.If you are a thinner build without junk in your trunk, the center panel can be removed, the new edges joined, and the fit is dramatically improved. A 5min fix at a machine, or a $3 alteration. I tried ordering a size smaller, but the pouch is relative and that made for a no-fit-fail.The front panel is made to accommodate guys who dress pointing up or down; plenty of room either way, while also allowing dress-left or dress-right. The fabric is very soft without feeling like polyester plastic. Comfy for foreskin; with or without. Xtra-Juicy guys will appreciate the absorbent flap that cradles the glans, still gives latitude when relocation to fresh fabric is necessary, and keeps willy from flying loose and banging his head against your zipper, et al.All-in-all these are great garments. Worth a try.

2/3 day-learning curve then SUPER comfy
First and foremost, if you're the type to walk around your house in boxers, know that you will not be on Full Display!The boxers took about 2-3 days of getting used to. I figured I'd constantly feel the hole of the pouch throughout the day, but honestly once I had the boxers on I didn't even notice it even when I tried. When wearing, it basically feels like you're not wearing anything beneath your pants while at the same time getting support and marginally lifting your stuff just off of your leg. Additionally the fabric is thin enough to allow your skin beneath to breath very very well. Regardless of size, the pouch is VERY stretchy and quite comfortable about it.The bulge's obviousness will vary based on how thick or heavy the pants are. Barely anything can be noticed with jeans, but with lighter pants it becomes more obvious. When wearing just the boxers, this is even more noticeable due to the short legs.The fly is functional, but you'll have to re-teach yourself to use this style. It is strange at first, but again, after 2 or 3 days you'll figure it out and won't have to think about it. The "fun" comes when you decide to switch back to normal boxers with a fly.For those wondering the boxers are still comfy if you decide not to use the pouch. That is also to say that if you happen to fall out of the pouch, the boxers will still be comfy to wear. Falling out can occur if you attempt to pull the legs of the boxers down and inadvertently pull them down too far. You'll definitely need a trip to the bathroom or other private space to re-fill the pouch.In short, the learning curve is short and wearing them is surprisingly far more comfortable than I'd ever imagine. And while I definitely would not wear them with gym shorts or dress pants, I do think they can be quite comfy in other aspects of my life.
