Natural Feelings Men's Boxer Briefs - Soft Cotton Underwear with Open Fly (3-Pack) - Breathable & Comfortable for Daily Wear, Workout & Lounge

So first let me start with the positive - these are perhaps the most comfortable pairs of underwear I’ve ever worn in my life. I’m never anyone whose been fancy with undies, in the past I’ve often gone with fruit of the loom or Hanes and somethings something else, but the fit and comfort level of these is on a whole other level. It just contours and snugs that area perfect to a tee. It’s super soft and it won’t ride up which is also especially good for workouts. No leg chafing with these. Why did I deduct 1 star if they’re so perfect? Because I personally feel durability could be better. I’ve often had other brands of underwear in the past where they will never get holes and I stop wearing them when the waistband gets stretched out to much. There’s a few pairs of this underwear that over time I’ve had to throw out because they developed holes on the bottom. I saw another reviewer also had this issue. It didn’t happen instantly it did take time but it terms of longetivity it’s not going to last as long as Hanes even tho it’s a lot more comfortable. That is something to keep in mind, and even as I write this I’m still going to still buy another set because I love the comfort. I just hope the manufacturer can do something to improve the durability… I want to give it 5 stars and if they do make improvements on that front I would love to update this review.Basically I like them. Technically they’re not perfect but my bottom line is I really enjoy wearing them.Did they blow me away? No. I thought about giving them for stores. But because I keep using them and enjoying them I just figure why not give them the first star fish store. There’s probably something better but I’m new to buying underwear that’s a little more expensive than hands. So for me this is a really great underwear Did they blow me away? No. I thought about giving them for stores. But because I keep using them and enjoying them I just figured why not give them the first star fifth star. There’s probably something better but I’m new to buying underwear that’s a little more expensive than hands. So for me this is a really great underwear. A few facts to flush out the details:The material:It’s more stre . more than I expected and so it seems to cling to me just the right amount. Do I actually believe it’s 95% cotton? Not really. And quite honestly I’ve always really preferred underwear that was 100% cotton. So I thought I would get irritated with this since it’s kind of stretching and I figure it must have more spandex than it’s letting on. Yet somehow, The material is quite appealing and I’ve had no problems enjoying it. The waistband:While it’s true what other people say that the waistband is higher than I’d like, I simply folded it over exactly once. Then it’s not a little closer to my bellybutton than I prefer. And also the waistband isn’t actually touching me because now there is cotton between the waistband in my skin. Quite honestly this provides something that’s probably indistinguishable from waist bands that are encased in cotton. Totally works. One more thing about the waistband. I really love that there’s no stupid name written all over it. I don’t need to be reminded of the manufacturer when I put it on. No one else needs to see these underwear with all secure. It’s just a cleaner look to have all black and that’s how I like it. Thumbs up to this brand for not putting some stupid name on there. I think I’d give it an extra half star for this feature .Size:I’m 5 foot nine and weigh 230 pounds. With Hans hundred percent cotton briefs, I prefer wearing a large so that it’s not enough to hold the family jewels. After a lot of reading of reviews and Wing back-and-forth, I went with the extra large for this brand. Good choice. It holds everything just fine. My suggestion is to count on accurate sizing. If you are an extra large, buy an extra large in the brand. That worked for me. Privates: technically this underwear doesn’t have a pouch. It has seams where seams would be if it did have a pouch, but does not actually have a pouch (or...not a notable one....maybe just a bit). And yet somehow, these hug and support the family jewels just right. First time I put them on, I was able to sort of push the seam in between the family jewels and thigh, and create my own pouch. I checked it two minutes later and it was no longer that way. So I thought that would be a problem. And yet somehow it seems to hold things just snug enough it’s perfect. I checked again just now and I do have the pouch. So maybe it is pouchi g properly in it's own after all. Whatever is going on, I’m completely happy with the pouch such as it is.Overall feel: just to summarize, I really like the overall feel of this underwear. It’s not too tight on the thigh (just the right amount of cling), I am pleased with the pouch. Quality after washing:I’ve never watch these so I can’t say that could be an issue so I’m curious what will happen. But I really think the spandex will hold us thing together.Durability:The material is just a little thinner than I’m used to from the Hanes cotton ones that I came from. I’ll just have to see how it holds up, but I’m not actually concerned about it. At these prices I think this is a great deal.If I recall this is cheaper than Calvin Klein and a lot of the other underwear in the top 10 best sellers. So it’s a good deal and does a great job. For quality I would probably give it four or 4 1/2 stars simply because there probably is something that’s a little bit better I’ve just never tried it. But I’m completely satisfied, and for the price, it gets five stars.---------------------UPDATE:Two of the 8 pair I purchased have developed holes. I think mostly from user error...you know...butt sweat...yep, I occasionally rub. I shouldn't..Anyway, I loved these for awhile, but those two definitely lasted shorter than my all cotton hanes in the past.I'm not dissapointed -- i loved these more than the hanes!But I've now moved on to the david archy. Pricey, but the one reviewed above do NOT have cloth that fully descends into the 'thigh pits' (only part way), however the archy's DO cover all that, so sweat should not be a problem. I consider the Natural Feelings underwear to be great underwear at a good price, and I love that they are cotton. The archy's are a step up in form-fitting-ness. Both great, but Archy takes the win.......I certainly won't be throwing out my Natural Feelings, tho !I've been on the hunt for underwear that meets my criteria. I was always a Jockey cotton boxer person, I don't like briefs. They are now approaching $30 for 1. As I'm not working, I need to tighten the budget. I was pessimistic, I went through the mainstream brands, i.e. Fruit-of-the-Loom, Hanes, Gildan, including the sports brand such as Reebok and some off brands. I hate the mesh types, they say, keeps you dry, cool, moisture wicking, and odor control. I find NONE of these to be true with these.Natural Feeling actually feels like you're wearing nothing, other than some support. They are incredibly soft. The waistband stays in place (no plumbers crack) and they do not roll up when putting on pants. My girlfriend even thought they looked great on me. Shapes and supports the buttocks nicely.Teen son loves these as they do not have a name on the waistband and are very comfortable. They stay in place on the legs and don't ride up but don't squeeze his thigh. They hold up after washing and drying in the machine and are color safe. After tying one pack we came back to order 2 more packs. Although more expensive than hanes or fruit of the loom, these are worth the money.I like them but they wear out too quickly if you ask me. I’m getting 6 months life out of them.Seam down the side of the leg makes these fit perfect not like other brands going down the back toward the middle! I prefer black with a solid black waist!Love the fabric, but they run a little samllDecent briefs for the cost!However I've purchased this brand in the past and they weren't as tight as these briefs are. I'm a 32 waist and the medium was too small.I'd get a size up if you're on the higher end of their size estimations.Fussy with boxers, I genuinely struggle to find a decent fitting pair! After reading many positive reviews I decided to order.I am 36” waist, and ordered Large.Very happy with purchase, extremely comfortable and they are a bit longer in length than most which adds to comfort.Ordered another pack today as so pleased.You won’t be disappointed!These are more expensive than previous buys, but he assures me the price increase is worth every penny. They fit perfectly and waist band stays where it should, even after exercise. They are soft and very comfortable. I laughed at the question at the beginning of the review - “what did you use them for” - well I hope he’s wearing them, but who knows.....?Finally, boxers that the hubby is comfortable in. Over the years, he’s worn various brands but never really feels particularly comfy in them. These, however, he is happy with. They’re comfortable and soft, so he’s pleased...and so am I, as the hunt for comfy boxers is over!I bought a pack of these for both of my sons and my husband then hoped very hard they’d be ok! One son got his on his birthday and he’s very pleased. They’re a good length , nice comfortable material and the waistband doesn’t roll. They’ve washed very well so far so it looks like they’ll stand the test of time too.These are quite comfortable. I would have liked them to be a little longer, but they are by no means short. I have had one or two itchy experiences, but I am going to put this down to weather and sensitive skin hopefully. Overall though, they are comfortable, fit well and do the job.
