Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex, soft enough with a very nice stretch!
Aesthetic: Blanc, as a line, goes for simplicity, and they honestly do it pretty darn well! The solid lilac on this pair is unique enough to give the pair a lot of visual interest even while being a single, solid color, the waistband color complimenting it nicely, and the stylized “Blanc” logo on the waistband gives a touch of fancy to the pair.
Waistband: Honestly quite similar to the main fabric in terms of softness and stretchiness, so that’s an interesting aspect.
Pouch: Being a “standard fit” brief, there’s nothing particularly exciting about the pouch here. By the nature of the fabric, it’ll conform to your natural shape fairly well, so that’s nice. Allows for good movement while also holding you in place when not moving.
Backside: The view of the backside is easily disrupted by the fact that the print-on case information on the inside is clearly seen on the outside as well, but at least with that “tag” it’s nice in how you don’t feel it at all, even if it’s really easy to see. The lower edges of the cheeks are designed to be a little high, so it’s not complete full-coverage – you’ll probably feel those hems across the lower rounds of your cheeks from time to time. (It’s worth noting that many – but not all – briefs on the Blanc site are listed as “slim fit”, with the suggestion to buy a size up. I don’t recall if these lilac briefs had that disclaimer.)
Legs: Fairly comfy, nothing above or below what you would expect for some nice, basic briefs.
Overall: 3.5/5 – as basic, featureless briefs go, these are really quite nice! Perfect for those grab-and-go mornings, especially if you want to feel just a bit special with your everyday pairs. Only reason I’m not giving them a 4 is because of the cross-cheek hem being clearly felt from time to time.
Great for: Everyday wear
Good for: Sleepwear
