Best.
These are hands down my favorite underwear. They’re comfortable, fit perfectly, and hold up well after multiple washes. The material is soft yet durable, and they keep their shape without stretching out.I reach for these more than anything else in my drawer — they just feel right for everyday wear. If you want comfort, reliability, and quality in one, these are it.

Brilliant
First things first, the Amazon size chart may or may not be accurate for you. It seems like at the time of many previous reviews, it was accurate. When I made my order on 10/30/15, the chart looked just like your average US size chart, putting my 32 inch waist right in the Medium range of 32-34. But I sifted through the reviews and saw that I should order Small, so I did. And they fit perfectly. Both the box and the tag on the trunks say that they are US size S and both indicate that this translates to 32-34 inches (see photo). My recommendation is to order a size smaller (if you're L, get M, etc.) and ignore the Amazon size chart, which may be fixed or it may not.OK, so how are the trunks? Yes, trunks. They're not really boxer briefs, the inseam is maybe 2" below the end of the white ball-holder panel. Which is probably about 2" below the true anatomic inseam. So 4" of total inseam in a perfect condition. But with how soft and smooth the fabric is on these things, they won't sit in that perfect condition. The leg bottoms will ride up. With how short the trunks are and how smooth the fabric is, this is not avoidable unless they lined the leg opening with some rubber for grip (like some compression or cycling shorts do). But given the ingenuity and comfort of these trunks, I don't care that the legs ride up. Not really. It would be awesome if they also had them in an actual long boxer brief style, where the anatomy of thigh muscles could keep them from riding up.Well, they're awesome. The ingenuity of the concept alone is enough to buy a pack, just to see/feel in action. This no-name company just solved the biggest problem of male underwear in warm conditions: various parts sticking together. Even if, in the end, the trunks don't fit you right, feel weird in how they do what they do, whatever...I think it's worth paying $25.99 just to see and experience the elegance of the solution.In my case, they fit great. They do ride up, but trunk-style underwear generally do, since they end at the point of the thigh where the lower thigh muscles (quads and hams) are tapering to their respective heads, and so the 'slope' goes 'down' towards the actual vertical up direction, and so they defy gravity and slide up. I can live with that, but I would be very happy if they came out with a longer-leg boxer-brief version.The, er....mechanism of the whole thing is ingenious. I've already said that. But it really is. I'm kind of shocked it hasn't been done, ripped off, and cloned to the masses long before now. Having those parts of the anatomy separated takes a touch of getting used to...but when you do, it feels not like having layers of clothing between everything, but like being naked. Everything just seems to be able to swing where it wants to.One potential downside. I'm not sure yet. The pouch for the ball side of the equation, some have said it's too small. I don't think it's the size alone, but the shape and size tend to stack the boys vertically. In the natural state, one boy hangs out lower than the other in all men (pretty much all external-gonad-possessing mammals actually). Due to the shape of the 'pouch' formed by the white panel, this staggered hang is exaggerated, and the boys go a bit more vertical. It feels a bit weird. Maybe I'll get used to it. I've only been wearing the things for a day. I'll update this review if it bothers me after a few days have passed. So I guess if you can read this, this ended up being a non-issue.Stability. Well, ordinarily I'm always sneaking a quick 'adjust' down there. Even in what were previously my favorite boxer briefs. No need in these. Everything finds its place again after pretty much anything you do. One reason I never liked any of the 'anatomic pouch' style underwear I've tried is that, well, in my case, the required space changes a lot through the day. Probably more than most, and not in the generous direction. And when things come up to normal, those pouches always put the stuff exactly in the opposite place I would have chosen. But these trunks just kinda get me where I wanted to be.Yeah, five stars. Zero stars for creating and fostering a huge sizing confusion, maybe that'll get fixed. For now, follow the recommendation of ordering one size down (if you're XL, get L, etc.).I'm about to order two more packs right now. Based on how quickly they wear and how comfortable they are in the longer term, I plan on buying a five year supply and keeping it in a storage bin. Just in case the only underwear company that understands male anatomy goes out of business. Maybe one day I'll have to face the Elaine dilemma (Seinfeld, "The Sponge").

Good and bad.
They seem to be hi quality built. The fit quite nicely. For the most part they are super comfortable. I like the pouch design, it works quite well. It's something I didn't know I needed, but love having. I wear these instead of other underwear because of this.Now the bad, well more annoying than truly bad. There is zero drip catching. I don't care how many times you shake a hose there's always always some liquid left inside. This material doesn't hold that tiny bit of moisture, instead it transfers it to whatever is close by. Light color pants and this type of material don't really mix. Wear jeans or dark pants and there's zero issue. During a long day of work these ride up. Not just a little they kinda become a thong, at least they start to feel like one. It's not a huge issue most days you have to use the restroom which gives you ample time to readjust them slightly.The material is fantastic for other areas of the body. It allows air flow and moisture wicking to keep sweat away. If your stuck in an office chair in a warm office sweat tends to run down and end up giving you a moist feeling when you stand. These underwear don't allow that to happen. The cloth does feel a bit silky and stretchy and a bit thin which reminds me of something other than MENS underwear. I have washed them a few times before writing this review and whatever these are made out of doesn't seem to shrink or stretch during washing and drying.Overall I really do like them and will continue to wear them as long as they hold up. Hopefully that's quite some time as these are not cheap to purchase. The price point is my only hesitation to rebuy them or recommend them. If your okay with the price point (changes often) go ahead and buy these. Just know they are not perfect, but they are SO much better than what the local box stores sells.
