2xist – Pima Knit Boxer – White – M

067

(I seem to have misplaced the pictures, but what they hey, I’ll take more soon and pop ’em in here)

Material: 100% Cotton, and it feels so good =-) Nice and soft, exactly what you’d expect of 100% cotton, with a good thickness to match. Comfortable but not extensive amount of stretch to the fabric itself, but you don’t expect that for true boxers anyway, nor of 100% cotton; it’s exactly what it’s supposed to be.
Aesthetic: Hard to get more classic and simple than unadorned white. The only semi-noticeable feature is the logo on a small loop of extra fabric at the belt-buckle position on the waistband, which is a classy, reserved touch. With nothing else to look at, it’s worth pointing out that the button of the fly is simple as well, just a small disc of white plastic, which is good because anything bigger, more shaped, or colored would not look like a match to the rest of the pair.
Waistband: Great stretch, good height, and very soft and comfy with a thin layer of sort-of-pleated fabric covering the actual waistband itself. The tag at the back of the waistband is very soft as well, so this pair is all about comfort.
Pouch: NA, since it’s a true boxer. While I would consider this a traditionally loose true boxer versus a more modern tight-fit true boxer, there is definitely an element of keeping the front relatively flat, i.e. it’s not as incredibly loose as it potentially could be. That said, the fabric is so soft that your junk will love the feeling.
Backside: Also NA since it’s a true boxer. While it is a traditionally loose pair, there is a hint of shape back here as well. The “side” seams are actually a little to the back, which provides a nice framing to your ass in these boxers.
Legs: I do rather like the length on these, and again these are somewhere in between a really loose traditional boxer and modern tight one, so the legs aren’t constraining at all, but they also aren’t likely to bunch up in your pants.
Other: I liked this pair so much when I got it, I ordered a second white Pima boxer and a blue Pima boxer. For the life of me, I can’t find the blue pair anywhere, and that makes me sad. That said, the boxers currently for sale on 2xist’s site are slightly different that those I have – notably the placement of the brand name.
Overall: 5/5 – as far as boxers go, I think this is about as good as you can get, which is why I’ve bought three of them. That said, boxers aren’t for everyone, and some people like the tighter boxers – but if you like traditional-fit boxers, these should be your go-to.

Whoops!

Looks like I accidentally didn’t schedule any post for the 17th. Sorry about that! Regular posts resume tomorrow.

I also seemed to fall of in my reblog reviews – will try doing some of those today!

Also, something to look forward to: I got a new order of jockstraps in yesterday! Four pairs, but they’re two 2(x)ist two-packs, so we’ll only get two reviews from the order. Still, some Fresh Pairs for the first time in quite a while!

2(x)ist – Pima Cotton Boxer – White – Medium

Material: 100% pure cotton, and boy does it show! It’s comfy enough that I’ve bought two other pairs of this, one another white and one a blue.
Aesthetic: Honestly, probably some of the least exciting-looking underwear I own. Someone who wears this has to be really confident to sell the look well. I generally think solid colors can be good since they let other aspect of a pair stand out – but when you’re talking about true boxer shorts, the general looseness means nothing stands out unless you try drawing attention to it.
Waistband: A bit bunch-ier than all of the other waistbands I’ve seen. Not really uncomfortable in any way, but if you don’t like any more material than necessary, you might not like it. Still, great sizing, and sits on the waist.
Pouch: Or, rather, the lack thereof. It’s a true boxer, so it’s entirely loose and flat. The material is super-soft, though, so it’s still a great feeling against your junk nonetheless.
Backside: I mean, it’s a true boxer, so there’s not much to write about here either. The seam just on the sides of the back panel look very nice, though, a good frame for your backside.
Legs: Good length and moderately loose – not so tight that it stops feeling like a true boxer, but still slim enough that it won’t feel bulky in your pants.
Overall: 3.5/5 – as an average. If you like true boxer shorts, then I could see this as a 4.5/5, but if you don’t, then I guess it’s a 2/5. All depends on the kids of support and breathing room you like in your underwear. Either way, I definitely love the material (hence having three pairs).
