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
