Good Devil – GD1018 C-String – White Leopard – One Size

103

Material: 100% Polyester, which doesn’t necessarily sound great as it’s all synthetic, but it’s honestly done quite well! Not listed here is the fact that a huge component of this underwear is a set of stiff wires that provide the main support (for the pair, not for your junk).
Aesthetic: Skimpy and frisky! The fact that it’s just a pouch means you’re revealing about as much skin as possible, and the white leopard print adds to the “wild side” look all the more. Then, if you do look around back, you can usually see the “string” wire peeking out from the top of your cheeks, which further compounds the feeling of naughty playfulness.
Pouch: I’ll talk just about the pouch itself here, and the wire “string” support in the next section. The pouch here is cool to the touch, (which is almost always very nice,) lightweight, and quite breathable for being 100% synthetic. It also has a great shape to it, though it does include a little bit too much space on the lower end of the pouch before it narrows between your legs. (You can see the looseness of the lower pouch in the second photo above.) This isn’t too much of an issue, and might be for the better for breathability’s sake, but it’s a bit odd. Overall, though, very nice pouch.
String: With no waistband and no straps, all pouch underwear needs some way of actually staying on your person. Usually this is accomplished by having the ring of the main opening either have a drawstring to narrow it around the base of your junk or snap in place there. Instead, Good Devil here has designed an entirely rigid framework that covers your crotch with a single thin wire slipping between your thighs and butt cheeks in such a way that the front and back of the wires – in theory – grip your torso from both sides to stay in place. In practice, this works well enough, and is usually aided by the fact that the “string” wire in back also is simply held in place by being wedged between your cheeks – basically, a very solid G-string. (And yes, the stiff wire is covered in fabric all the way around so it’s relatively comfortable.) Ideally, the lowest part of the wire would stay right up against the underside of your torso, but I’ve found that it tends to slide down half an inch or so, giving a slightly open feeling between your legs; part of this may be due to the fact that the tapering from the pouch loop to the single wire happens somewhat slowly, pushing back against your thighs a little bit right where they’re trying to meet your crotch. This can be a tad uncomfortable since you can’t fully bring your thighs together without the wire digging in a little. Also, depending on your rear, the tip of the “string” wire may stick up a bit too much, which can interfere with your pants and/or your seat back if you’re sitting down. Still, I think this is a very fun design, and one I’ve worn several times on days I just feel like exciting myself a little bit.
Overall: 3/5 – I think this is a very situational pair, and I’m sure there will probably be a number of guys who just don’t like the idea of stiff underwear (or of something, stiff or not, going between their cheeks). This pair isn’t for those guys, obviously, but I think it’d be fun for people to try out if they can get one.

Mossimo – low-rise boxer brief – Red – Small

100

Yes, it’s my 100th review! For this special occasion, I’m taking it all the way back to the very first “stylish” pair I bought for myself back in early grad school…

Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex, moderately soft and very stretchy! The fabric has a bit of a sheet-y nature that makes it feel like there’s definitely some synthetic fabric in there, so it doesn’t pull off the cotton-y feel that many other pairs with similar blends do, but it’s still very nice. It’s certainly lightweight!
Aesthetic: Simple, but the bright white piping framing the bold main fabric provides a great visual pop that helped lead me to buying a full rainbow of this line back when I first started getting “into” underwear; this red pair was actually my very first “nice” underwear purchase.
Waistband: Pretty typical as waistbands go, especially for a big-box-store, and thankfully it’s not too stiff. The pure, bright white is a nice stylish choice to not make it look boring, and it stays on at that low-rise position fairly well.
Pouch: Being a big-box option, these briefs sport a fairly flat front; that said, the way the front panels of the fly are constructed combined with the stretchy nature of the fabric means that the front panels do a good job of conforming to your junk, giving a nice cupping feeling with a little bit of shape to the “pouch” even if it’s not obviously built-in. And the fly! It’s been a while since I reviewed a pair with a fly, (#86 I think,) especially a traditional vertical fly like this pair sports (#79, which was before a break or two). The fly here is very well-done, incredibly easy to use with just one hand, and as I’ve demonstrated on a few other briefs in the past, it even allows you to pull 100% of your junk through without any uncomfortable tightness from below or side-to-side! This is how you pull off traditional vertical flies, everyone.

Backside: Just a plain, solid color, so not much to look at, though the bright white waistband helps in that sense. The fabric is also tight enough that the back doesn’t look like an unflattering expanse, and the little arch between the legs also provides a bit of nice visual structure.
Legs: Fairly good length, but IMO could be a bit longer to cover my big thighs. The hems are quite comfortable! Very little difference between them and the rest of the legs. They’ll roll up a little bit over time – again, could be longer, would fix that aspect – but it’s a fairly small problem with this pair.
Other: Sadly, Mossimo’s agreement to sell with Target died a while ago, and I don’t think it’s easy to get these pairs any more. That’s a shame since this pair (this entire line, actually) holds a special place in my heart as what started my collection. And, honestly, for being a big-box-ish line, these have held up amazingly well over the years! (Moreso than the original Andrew Christian pair I ever ordered.)
Overall: 3.5/5 – a very solid generic pair to have in your collection! Especially if you want your “everyday” selection to have that nice pop of color.

AlphaBox – Everyday Fit Boxers – Red Modal – Medium

095

Material: 95% Modal, 5% Elastane, and oh my god this is sooooo comfy! To be fair, it’s not one of those “can hardly tell it’s even there” underwear, but they’re incredibly soft and lightweight and kinda cooling too, so it’s just an amazing fabric blend.
Aesthetic: There’s nothing super-flashy about this pair, but the material itself has a well-put-together look that makes the pair look classy and intentional even as it’s just one big solid color. The fact that it’s an H-fly on the outside helps with that intentional and somewhat intriguing look, which is added to by the waistband in three ways: a slightly different shade of red, a thin, refined blue stripe rounding the top, and the classy, almost cryptic AlphaBox logo quite off-center on the left hip. Basically, it’s a pair that won’t necessarily earn a second look, but if you give it that second look, you’ll almost immediately think “oh, that’s a nice pair”.
Waistband: Nothing incredibly outstanding about the waistband here, just incredibly comfortable with how soft & stretchy it is.
Pouch: Ah, this pouch! AlphaBox calls it their “3D Pocket”, which is a bit of a misnomer if you compare it to some of the truly 3D shapes on other pairs I’ve reviewed, but that’s just what you see on the outside. The inside of this pouch is absolutely amazing. It’s a pseudo-dual-pouch design supported by what is effectively an internal C-ring (though much looser than one would normally be) combined with the aforementioned H-fly up top, simultaneously allowing for having your junk kept away from your legs (though not necessarily away from each other) and allowing for easy access from up top for you to do your business in the bathroom quite easily. In the above pictures, I’ve let my junk mostly just sit together near the bottom of the pouch, while the two pic below show how it fits when wearing your willie upward, and both arrangements feel completely natural and accommodated. I really don’t think I can find a bad thing to say about this pouch.

Backside: Like the waistband, nothing outstanding here, just a generally high-quality, comfortable constructions and a simple look. It might be a function of how long the legs are, but the pair does a good job of providing a nice visual curve to your backside; for me in particular, the pair actually makes me look like my cheeks have a good shape and tone to them even when I’m a bit more jiggly on my own without any cover.
Legs: I’ve mentioned on the blog before that I love longer legs, and these are no exception! The material is very comfy and stretches over my big thighs quite nicely. The hems here, though, provide the only (and very minor) little drawback to the pair, as there’s a thin line of more solid, less stretchy fabric in the hems here. It’s not something you’ll notice much in general, but I’ll occasionally feel a bit of a slightly-cutting squeeze when I sit down sometimes. The AlphaBox site explicitly mentions that their hems are finished in a way so as to prevent the legs from ever riding up, and to that effect they’ve done a great job, so I definitely appreciate that!
Other: I have yet to find AlphaBox pairs (either the Everyday featured here or the Performance line, one of which is available on my Sales page) on sale anyway, so the price point is a bit steep at the moment at over $30/pair, but DAMN if it isn’t worth it!
Overall: 5/5 – the only reason you wouldn’t like this pair is if you simply don’t like boxer briefs to begin with. And, in which case, I’d say you’re missing out. Get one of these pairs.

Mckillop – Max Bulge Modal Long John – Red – Medium

088

Material: 94% Modal, 6% Spandex, which is incredibly soft and stretchy! Interestingly, it feels simultaneously breathable and fairly solid.
Aesthetic: I would call these long johns incredibly sleek! The fabric itself doesn’t give a reflective, synthetic look at all, but the single color for the entire pair on top of how form-fitting it is and how it doesn’t go all the way down to the ankle all together gives the look of fluidity and suaveness (and not leaving much to the imagination). The black waistband with the brand splayed across the front then gives just enough visual contrast to add a strong-looking edge to the pair.
Waistband: Fairly typical for a waistband; has a nice height to it and great elasticity. Sit low in general, and apparently particularly low on me! That crack in back isn’t supposed to be showing; I guess I’m just bigger than what was intended for this pair.
Pouch: It’s called “Max Bulge” for a reason! The pouch here is highly contoured, and is designed with the idea that you’ll be wearing a C-ring of some sort to help your junk come forward into the pouch. (If you order it from a professional provider, it’ll likely come with one of Mckillop’s elastic C-ring bands as well for this purpose.) And even without wearing a C-ring yourself, it’s still an incredibly comfy pouch that brings your forward and up a nice amount. I’ve noticed in the past that long johns have a bad track record of not doing a good job of supporting your junk; either the pouch isn’t designed that well to begin with, or it’s designed well but the support quickly is pulled away with wear (i.e. the bottom of the pouch drops down a bit as your legs move around). This pair has neither of those problems, so I really think that’s an accomplishment!
Backside: Nothing particularly special back here; has some shape to it, at least.
Legs: Really comfy in my opinion! If you’ve got big legs like me, the fabric will stretch a fair amount and may leave you with pressure lines on your legs at the end of the day, but it’s not something you notice a ton while wearing them. Of course, I love the length.
Other: If you look closely, you’ll see that the stitching of this pair strongly outlines the shape of a normal brief – to the point that it feels somewhat like wearing a brief with legs more than wearing a long john. This is particularly true because this mid-pair stitching is a bit less forgiving stretch-wise than the rest of the pair is! It’s the only part of the pair that feels a bit tight to me. In addition to how low the waistband sits on me, this reinforces the importance of getting the correct size for you when buying these!
Overall: 4.5/5 – the only reason these aren’t getting a 5 is because of how tight that brief-ish stitching is compared to the rest of the pair. If I was taking sizing issue into account, it would come down to a 4/5 or 3.5/5 too, but that’s not really a knock against the pair itself. For what it’s worth, while I’m selling this pair, I’m planning on buying another at the Large size in hopes of getting that better fit!

Sheath – 4.0 Dual Pouch Boxer Brief – Purple – M

079

Material: 92% Modal, 8% Elastane, which is a small shift toward Elastane versus the 3.21 Boxer Brief. The fabric is a little bit cooler to the touch than the 3.21, and also has lower friction. Sheath also chose to go thinner this time, making the pair all the more lightweight and breathable.
Aesthetic: Definitely a bit more stylish and sporty than the 3.21! The 3.21 almost looks like a winter pair for warmth, or at least a “lazy weekend indoors” pair; the 4.0 looks like what a moderately athletic office worker might wear on the day to day in spring or fall. For this color of the 4.0 in particular, I think the white waistband gives a nice pop and, against the solid purple base of the pair, almost looks like a bit of a fabric belt, more so than other contrasting-waistband looks I’ve seen. Worth noting that the 4.0 also has options that are not solid-color affairs, which is not something you got with the 3.21.
Waistband: Definitely soft and very stretchy! This is probably the most noticeable contrast to the 3.21, which had the fabric of the main pair wrapped all the way around the waistband. It mad the 3.21’s waistband incredibly soft and comfy, but also a little bulky; the 4.0 sacrifices almost all of the bulk while still being incredibly comfy as traditional waistbands go. Good, typical height; sits at or above the hips – I’m not sure if the rise was intended to be different between the 3.21 and the 4.0, but at least personally, the 4.0 feels more natural sitting a bit higher.
Pouch: I went into all the details of Sheath’s dual pouch design last time, so I won’t rehash them here. All I’ll say is that they’ve still got one of the best dual-pouch designs in the business! Cradles your balls in a separate pocket, and the fly is incredibly easy for you to use. I think the lighter fabric of the 4.0 also makes the pouch a little more prominent than the 3.21 pouch was – not that the 3.21 didn’t let you show off a bit – but the 4.0 somewhat lets your balls factor into the overall look of your package while the 3.21 mostly only let your willie show.

Backside: Not too much to say here that I didn’t say for the 3.21, although I think the more-athletically-minded design of the 4.0 versus the 3.21 factors in to making the backside of the 4.0 a bit more taut and shapely, somewhere between the 3.21 and the Saxx pair I compared the 3.21 to. There is a “tag” printed on the inside of the backside here, but it fades very quickly; you won’t notice it at all.
Legs: Again, the fabric of the 4.0 feels a tad bit tighter than that of the 3.21, which here is a good thing as I noted the slight feeling of looseness before.
Overall: 5/5 – I gave the 3.21 a 4.5/5 if only because they were a bit expensive, and while the price for the 4.0 is about the same (unless you catch it on sale – which they are as I’m writing this post) the 4.0 is, I think, just a sliver better than the 3.21, so it gets to join the 5/5 club.

Veni Masse – Breathable multi-function separate ball hammock Boxer Brief – “Brown” (orange) – L

074

Material: 88% Modal, 12% Spandex, at least as stated on the tag, as it’s advertised online as a 90/10 blend instead. Very sporty, lightweight, low-friction feel, and has a nice stretch too. Not sure what either the mesh or the waistband fabric makeup is, though.
Aesthetic: Not sure how to describe it, aside from maybe “active” or “flashy”? The mesh paneling around the pouch certainly gives the sporty look, and there are so many panels to see right up front, it just generally looks impressive. There’s a bit of a visual disconnect between the main body of the pair and the waistband itself with the red-white-and-blue stripes that don’t match anything else, but it’s honestly not that big of a distraction IMO.
Waistband: As sport and kinda-synthetic as the main fabric is, the waistband is nicely soft and more like a more solid cotton-based waistband. It has a good stretch to it, and sits above the hips, at or below the waist.

Pouch: This is another dual-pouch pair of underwear, with a nice rounded area of the mesh below for your balls and a nice hole in the first inner layer of mesh for your willie to go through. Interestingly, though, I might almost count this as a triple-pouch pair of underwear, because the “front pouch” actually is made of TWO layers of fabric constructed like a sleeve to hold your willie in place. The fabric is not so tight that you have to use the sleeve, either – and even though there is an opening at the top of the sleeve, I wouldn’t recommend using it as a functional fly, because that opening doesn’t stretch downward enough to make it very useful for any activity; that is, as long as your willie is in the sleeve, it’s going to be pointed straight up. I personally like wearing my willie straight upward, all other things being equal, so I love that part of the design, but as you can see below, it is possible to not use the sleeve and let yourself hang to the side or downward as well (though the downward opening is so far down, it might not be very comfortable trying to aim forward for whatever reason) – and the fabric is giving enough that it’s incredibly to switch between sleeved and side-hanging whenever you want.

Backside: Solid color backside is nothing to write home about, but it is a comfortable backside, and it does provide some separation between your cheeks, which looks kinda nice. There’s a tag on the inside of the back, but it’s very soft, completely unnoticeable to me.
Legs: The legs are a little on the short side, especially when worn on my thighs, (almost makes the pair look more like a trunk than like boxer briefs,) but they’re definitely comfy enough! The legs are just as stretchy as the rest of the fabric, and surprisingly they don’t roll up very much.
Other: Like a bunch of Asian-band underwear, there doesn’t seem to be official names for any of their cuts, so the “name” shown above is just the best description I could come up with, especially to differentiate it from other Veni Masse pairs I’ll be reviewing next. (And, if anyone is tired of seeing my dick flopping about, this is the last time for a while, sorry!)
Overall: 5/5 – I think this is a really great pair! Really breathable, really easy-going, and I love the unique dual- (or triple-)pouch design. The amount of individual fabric panels involved, especially with some being mesh, gives the pair an almost-gear-like look to it, too, so if your partner is into that sort of thing, bonus!

Separatec – Cotton Functional Fly Boxer Briefs – Maroon/Olive/Blue stripes – M

073

Material: 96% Cotton, 4% Spandex, which generally comes across as very soft (and is) but the fabric on these pairs is somewhat thin and sleek. Very good stretch. The website says these are “designed for daily wear” and I think they pretty well nailed it. You know it’s underwear, and it’s comfortable underwear.
Aesthetic: The striping on the pairs, combined with the darker waistband and leg openings, provides a nice bit of visual appeal, more to look at that a solid plain color, but done in a very reserved way. Going with the “designed for daily wear” thing, I can absolutely see these as a pair you would be wearing under your pants at your desk at work, or maybe on a lazy weekend when you’re trying to impress absolutely no one but still feel slightly stylish for yourself. That all said, the choice to pipe the “functional fly” part of the pair (we’ll get to that in a bit) with the darker fabric of the waistband & leg hems gives and impressive visual draw, with the shape almost insinuating a slimming effect or natural curves on its own.
Waistband: Pretty typical as waistbands go; good stretch and soft enough while also staying on fairly well. Wears at or above the hips.
Pouch: Back when I introduced Saxx and Sheath to my blog, I had the impression that they were relatively unique in the men’s underwear market at putting lots of thought and specialized architecture into making their pouches as fancy as some women’s bras were – lift and separate! In the two years since, I’ve now seen a ton of brands that really cater to the male anatomy, and Separatec is one of several brands to advertise a “dual pouch” design, intended for keeping your boys comfy. For Separatec, this means that your balls are taken care of in a nice, rounded protrusion pouch at the bottom of the pair, which doesn’t have any extra structure inside to separate your balls from your thighs, but the shape of this pouch means any extra structure isn’t needed, as it holds your balls forward quite nicely. Your willie slides through a small hole in the inner layer of fabric to fill down into the main pouch, and I mean down – the pouch is incredibly generous below, but it fairly slim against your body up top. This, along with the fact that the fly openings don’t provide a ton of side-to-side stretch on their own, actually means that the “functional fly” isn’t all that functional – it would take some force to hold the hems open enough to let your dick through, especially if you’re still soft, due to the fact that these openings are also somewhat high up the pair. No need to fret, though – the main pouch is actually open at the bottom, and the pouch is so shapely itself that the amount of fabric there makes is very easy to just slip your willie out from below with the pouch fabric bunched up and out of the way for you to do whatever you want. So, in essence, this pair does have a fairly functional fly – just with the general Separatec pouch design and not with two openings specifically made for this pair.

Backside: Fairly plain, but the stripes make it nice to look at nonetheless, especially with a fairly good under-cheek shape. You can kinda see the “tag” that’s printed on the inside of the back, but unlike other print-on “tags”, this one never feels sticky or sweat-inducing.
Legs: Very nice! I like the length, and the leg openings themselves are quite soft, comfy, and stretchy while basically always staying in place. They may feel just a hair tight at times, but this is rare and barely noticeable.
Overall: 4.5/5 – these are amazing boxer briefs, and I think the 3-pack was so incredibly worth it. Especially living in a world where WFH is the norm, these are great everyday pairs – just as was apparently intended. Although the visuals aren’t the sexiest around, a full pouch on these boys certainly will draw some attention – and Separatec makes both trunks and briefs with these pouches as well, so those will likely look even sexier when full. Not a full 5/5 only because the intended “functional fly” isn’t, and also because the fabric does have a bit of thickness/weight to it. X-D

Sukrew – U Sprint – White – S

072

Material: 80% Polyamide, 20% Elastane on the main paneling, and 90% Polyamide, 10% Elastane on the side paneling, which is really interesting information to be given! I hugely appreciate it, especially with how many pairs I’ve reviewed with very clearly multiple types of fabric but no separate descriptions. Anyway, both types of fabric here are clearly synthetic, but they’re soft and lightweight enough that you never get that somewhat clammy, cloying, occasionally stiff feeling that synthetic materials can give. The side paneling in particular can stretch to give a mesh-like, slightly-see-through effect, though it’s not a huge effect.
Aesthetic: I would describe the aesthetic of this pair as “athletic and playful”. The contrast between the blue and white panels just gives me the impression of motion, as if the wearer is very swift, maybe like a running or cycling uniform. The angled, off-kilter print of the brand name in a thin, stylized font of the blue panels, to me, adds that spontaneous aspect to the overall aesthetic.
Waistband: Very nice! A little on the tall side, which is good for what this pair wants to be, as it helps grip you. It’s soft and stretchy enough to fit among other waistbands, though it’s definitely a synthetic waistband, as it’s not quite as soft or natural-feeling as many of the others I’ve recently reviewed. The tag in back is quite interesting, as there’s both a construction of sorts on the back of the waistband itself as well as a hang-down tag. Both of these are very soft – and both feel like different materials from the rest of the pair and from each other – though the size of the hang-down tag may make it occasionally fold over itself if you’re moving around weirdly enough.
Pouch: None! This pair comes from Sukrew’s (now-discontinued) U line of underwear, which all feature relatively flat fronts with an opening for your junk to hang out freely. Like I mentioned with the AussieBum Orbit, this then means we need to look at the positioning, tightness, and comfort of the hole itself. And like with the Orbit trunks, the U Sprint hits all three aspects amazingly well. I can’t really say much different about this pair than I did with the Orbit, with the small comment about the different fabric and, particularly, that the opening on the U Sprint is a thin, slightly more rigid edge than the hem-covered opening of the Orbit. Also, this isn’t exactly a comment about the opening itself, but since the U Sprint has much longer legs than the Orbit, this pair will never subject you to scrotum-on-thigh skin contact, which is a nice plus.
Backside: Nothing to incredibly write home about, as it’s mostly just a big expanse of white, but the fabric hugs your skin in a way that the pair gives you a nice visual shape, especially with how it highlights the curve between each cheek and its respective thigh. The material is also thin enough that you can easily see the hang-down tag, so it is a small visual distraction, but I’d write that off as nothing to worry about. And even as the back is mostly just that expanse of white, the blue side paneling provides a nice framing.
Legs: I love the length on these legs! As I’ve mentioned in the past, my thighs are thick enough that short legs tend to either slide up or have the hems roll over themselves; long legs avoid these problems. The material is relatively low-friction, so the legs slide past each other very nicely as you walk or run. The synthetic nature of the fabric can come up every once in a while as a very very low-grade itch, but it’s rare and only really noticeable if you aren’t moving around. The only other minor criticism with the legs is the the hems of the leg opening are slightly less stretchy than the rest of the pair, which can make them feel somewhat tight at times.
Overall: 4.5/5 – I absolutely love this pair. The only reason I’m not giving it a full 5/5 is that the synthetic nature of the fabric is somewhat noticeable in a few situations; otherwise, this is about as perfect as you can get with an open front pair of underwear.

Wanjiang – Hipsters w/ open back – Orange – M

071

Material: 89% Rayon, 11% Spandex, and while it’s clearly not cotton, it has a very cotton-like softness to it, which I really like, on top of the fact that it’s lightweight, stretchy, and almost cool to the touch.
Aesthetic: Bold and attention-getting! This orange isn’t a common color to being with, and the black-vs-orange contrast is played up so well with this pair, from the thin orange line tracing the middle of the waistband to the black lining around the pouch to the hint of black hems you can see under the cheeks from the back view or the hems on the hips. The shiny snap visible at the top of the pouch is also a very intriguing and show-off-y touch. Everything is loud, everything pops; and the shape is visually great too, with a relatively short profile top to bottom and a nice square-cut look (which wears more like two halves of a V on me!)
Waistband: Just a hair on the tall side, and very soft, so I like it a lot. It’s got a good stretch, and a good thickness to it too – it’s going to weather some good tugs. 😉 The pair sits nicely on your hips while also coming a bit low in front. The tag in back is soft and largely unnoticeable.
Pouch: Okay, there are three different components to this “pouch”, so let’s go through all of them. The base layer of the pair has an open front, which has comfy enough edges, but would be a little on the large side if taken on its own. It’s not alone, though, as built in to the pair is a nice, comfy, elastic C-strap similar to those found with the Mckillop slings I had reviewed a long time ago, although this one is attached to the top of the pouch area instead of the bottom. This C-strap is quite comfortable, thankfully, and does a great job of lifting and forwarding your junk. Lastly, then, is the flap-like pouch itself, a small but very nicely shaped lens of fabric that attaches to the main pair with two snaps at the top and bottom of the pouch. It does a great job of cupping your junk, and the fabric as mentioned before feels wonderful.

Backside: Another incredibly fun and sexy aspect to this pair is the slit opening in the back, allowing a teasing hint of each cheek to show, assuming you’re already out of your regular pants. If your pants are on, the relatively small size of the hole means you probably won’t be subjecting your backside to the pants fabric, so the only thing you might feel is that slight hint of a draft back there, which honestly is probably a bit of a plus. Even though these hipsters aren’t incredibly tall, the backside provides basically full coverage, save for the slit of course. If the slit wasn’t enough to look at already, you can see a hint of some hems just under the cheeks, which gives the pair that added extra little bit of visual variety to make it quite attractive to look at, in my opinion!
Legs: There are barely any legs here to speak of with how short these hipsters are, but the leg openings are quite nice. The black fabric is the same as the orange above it – soft, stretchy, lightweight, and breathable – while the fact that this “hem” has some good vertical height to it means that the legs don’t really ride or roll up very much as all, which is a great touch.
Other: Wanjiang has apparently recently rebranded as “Karen Space”, which is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen. Also, like many Asian brands, there doesn’t seem to be an obvious title for each different cut that they manke, which is frustrating for a blogger like me. X-D
Overall: 5/5 – It feels weird to me to declare something a “favorite” with less than two full days of wear, but I think this pair is amazing. It’s quite comfy, there’s enough coverage and ease of motion to use as an everyday pair, while also being visually appealing and also having just enough extra access to take into the bedroom too. The only small downside is that it takes an extra minute or two to put on in the morning, as you have to take the pouch off and then on again in order to easily thread yourself into the C-ring, but that’s a fairly minor concern IMO.

AussieBum – Orbit Trunk – Red – M

070

Material: 92% Cotton, 8% Elastane, which is probably one of the best mixes out there if you want a cotton-y soft feeling that’s also lightweight and nicely stretchy! I certainly enjoy it quite a lot. =-)
Aesthetic: Pretty straightforward here, just a solid red with a nice black-and-white waistband featuring big, bold lettering. So, simple but effective!
Waistband: Good height, good stretch, basically what you’d expect of a nice comfortable waistband. As this is an AussieBum pair, the tag in the back is huge – almost a panel more than a tag – but it’s pretty soft and mostly (by feel at least) blends into the waistband. The corners of the tag panel can occasionally feel a bit pointy/scratchy, but depending on your pair, how you take care of it, and how you wear it, this may or may ot be an issue.
Pouch: None! It’s an open hole that lets your junk – all of it – hand out freely. In this case, the big question mark is the positioning, tightness, and edge-feel of the hole itself. On all three accounts, this pair absolutely excels! The hold here may look a bit small on the pair when not being worn, but it stretches very nicely to let your junk through and then snugs right up around your junk without feeling tight at all; the soft hem around the hole helps too. This is in contrast to the AC FUKR boxer where the hole in front is absolutely gigantic. Sure, it’s fun to show off some skin, but this lets the pair move around relative to your junk and provides no support at all, and as I said in that review, it allows for excess skin-on-skin contact, which isn’t fun either. AussieBum totally outdid AC here.
Backside: Nothing super notable back here, but definitely a nicely hugging backside overall. The diagonal hems provide a little bit of shape to the pair, and there’s a nice curve with some separation between the legs.
Legs: This is the one spot where I think this pair doesn’t quite hit the mark. There’s nothing really wrong with the stretch of the legs themselves or how the hems are – they’re fine, not too tight or too loose – but as I’ve mention in a few other reviews, I just prefer having a little bit of extra length on my trunk legs if I can get it because my huge thighs generally encourage legs to roll up a bit if they aren’t long enough, and of course rolling up adds a bit of tightness. For this pair, too, having the legs roll up a bit decreases the length of fabric that your junk can rest on, meaning that if they roll up enough, you might get some skin-on-skin contact between the scrotum and thighs too, which is one of the things I like to avoid. Still, I don’t think this draws away too much from the pair overall.
Overall: 4.5/5 – This is definitely one of my favorite pairs, and it’s such a shame that AussieBum doesn’t make these any more. I just wish the legs were a bit longer; then this pair would be perfect!
