054

Material: 50% Polyester, 50% Rayon, a very lightweight & breathable combination, while staying quite soft to the touch =-)
Aesthetic: This “beach short” looks more to me like something you’d wear to bed or wear around the house on a lazy weekend day – and that’s a compliment! The professional pics are great, with the thigh-hugging-but-still-somehow-laid-back legs going all the way down to the knees, highlighted by those great horizontal stripes. That look is mostly preserved on me as well, although you can already see that the legs don’t go all the way down to my knees, and I’ll get there later. The front is kinda flat, but it allows for a small bulge to show, and the “flat” look is counteracted by the stripes, which is nice.
Waistband: Interesting design on this waistband: there’s a clear drawstring through the middle of the waistband, with hems a little ways on either side of it, almost giving the waistband a striped look itself, even if it’s only in texture and all the same color. The very very top of the waistband is kinda stiffer/harder than the rest, which is an odd feel. It doesn’t feel like it rides low when you’re standing up, (even though you can see V-lines in the professional pics and even the edges of my hip lines above,) but when you sit, the back of the waistband feels like it’s pulled down quite a bit. (This might be more a factor of my personal dimensions than part of the design, though, since sitting emphasizes the curve of the ass…)
Pouch: There is no pouch to speak of as the pair is flat-front. The pair is fairly tight, so you’ll get a fairly clear bump whether you wear your willie down (as in the pics above) or up (in which case your balls will show as well). If you don’t tie off the drawstring, though, it will mask the bulge a little bit too, so it all depends on your comfort level (both how you like your junk and how much you want to show off). Unfortunately, with this being essentially a boxer, there’s absolutely no lower-support for your balls, which is fine for looser boxers but definitely feels weird with a tighter pair like these (since they hold you in place in front but not below).
Backside: Looks pretty good! The design of the pair is a smoother top-to-bottom intent, so it minimizes instead of highlights your curves. As such, I think this pair is designed for guys that don’t have an ass (especially with the waistband-getting-pulled-down issue). There’s a tag hanging from the back of the waistband, but it’s very soft and lightweight, so there’s no problem there.
Legs: Not only is this pair designed from guys with no ass, but I think it’s designed for guys with thinner thighs too. The biggest thing I noticed when first pulling it on was that it did NOT want to stretch around my thighs. (That made it hard to pull all the way up, which didn’t help the lack-of-ball-support issue). This probably explains how the pair doesn’t quiiiiite reach my knees, as some of the length is instead going into a horizontal stretch – and, maybe sadly, the pair now looks stretched when not on me.

Exacerbating this was the fact that, even as most of the pair ultimately got to fitting me, (stretching aside,) the lowest hems of the legs are NOT stretchy at all. As much as I want this pair to be great for loungewear or sleepwear as it looks and feels like it should, these tight hems add a level of discomfort that makes both of those somewhat untenable.
Overall: 2.5/5 – I really, really wish I could give this pair a 4/5 or higher, especially since I think these would be amazing for someone with the right body type. However, that body type is clearly not my body type, so I just can’t rate them too highly.
Great for: Sexy wear
Good for: Loungewear, Sleepwear
