Piado – Bamboo Brief – Orange/Blue – Medium

Material: 94% Bamboo Rayon, 6% Lycra, really interesting! I’m not really the best at describing fabric types, but I’ll take a stab at saying that this bamboo fabric seems to be an interesting middle ground between cotton and Modal. I’m saying this in comparison to the next two briefs I’ll review, which are both mostly Modal, but of course there’s the caveat that neither this pair nor either of those is 100% of a single material, and small amounts of a second material can greatly change how a fabric feels. The bamboo rayon is also really breathable, and almost sheer.
Aesthetic: Two tones of the same general color plus white piping/trim and text gives these pairs a simple, light-hearted look. The general design is also one of practicality, as they haven’t done anything different than a “traditional” brief aside from the color and fabric.
Waistband: Nicely soft, but otherwise a fairly typical waistband. Sits at or below the waist.
Pouch: A rather nice, somewhat-shaped pouch for briefs that still has a readily usable traditional fly! You can see from the front view that it does provide some nice lower room, while the fabric is also stretchy enough to provide up-front room if you want it (e.g. side view). And since it uses a traditional vertical fly, I have to pass judgement on ease of use – and it’s probably the most accessible traditional fly on any briefs I own! There’s certainly a fair amount of horizontal overlap of the panels, so there’s no risk of you ever falling out, but the opens are tall enough and the fabric – and, in particular, the piping – is so lightweight and stretchy that it’s really, really easy to pull the openings around, reach in, and pull your willie out. Heck, it shares something in common with the classic CK briefs in that the opening are so forgiving that you can pull your entire junk out easily, and on top of that, they can all hang out without it feeling uncomfortable like your balls are about to be cut off!

I have a picture similar to the one above for the CK briefs, but I was so hard in that pic, I consider it far too porn-y for this blog. Also, the openings on the CK briefs are a bit tighter than here, I assume because of the cotton material being a bit stiffer, so I couldn’t recommend the extraction for as long with the CK briefs as I would for these here.
Backside: Fairly typical backside – but also very lightweight and thin (in a good way). You can see in the back view above an imprint of the tag, which is printed on the inside of the fabric instead of being a physical tag attached to the waistband.
Legs: The leg opening here are barely noticeable – not tight and not loose, they fit just right.
Overall: 5/5 – the only potential criticism of this pair is that the fabric might be almost too thin for some people, you might feel your pants too much. But I say it’s great! Good underwear should both feel like it’s not there while simultaneously making you unaware of the stiffer parts of your pants.
