Old Navy – Soft-Washed Flex Briefs – White – M

077

Material: 96% Cotton, 4% Spandex, which seems to be a common theme among many of my recently reviewed pairs! The actual make of this fabric is a bit weightier (and a bit softer?) than recent comparisons – which, as a traditional “whitey tighty”, makes perfect sense and is executed quite well.
Aesthetic: I’ve spoken about the range of sexiness levels for whitey tighties multiple times before, and these fall somewhere in the middle I guess. There’s nothing to accentuate the white-ness of this pair, so you either like it or you don’t. Compared specifically to the CK briefs I reviewed a while back, I think this pair looks a little more polished and professional, doing so while sacrificing a bit of the visual “pop” that CK brought with the colored waistband. And, to be entirely fair, Old Navy also has alternate colorations of this style that are white with a grey waistband, which I think are unambiguously a bit better to look at than the CK briefs from before. Even though the pair I’m wearing here is an inherited pair, (i.e. the amount of wear is similar,) the cut and fabric are still tighter than what CK brought.
Waistband: Overall, very comfy typical waistband, which in this case sits about at the waist.
Pouch: Whitey tighties are known for not having very good pouches in general, and I think this is the one area where the CK brief excels just a bit more – there really isn’t much of a pouch here at all. I’m not sure if it’s just due to the slightly tighter fabric, or if there’s an actual difference in the cut causing this front to be a bit flatter. You can clearly see a single little pleat right where your balls are on this pair, so there definitely is some effort to button things up here. And even though I say there isn’t much of a pouch here, it thankfully doesn’t go the way of actually smushing your junk against you uncomfortably in any way. There’s still a relatively nice cupping feeling and freedom of movement, plus the fabric is so soft, it feels pretty good.
Backside: Very comfy, and as far as tighty-whities go, actually not un-flattering at all! While still covering essentially all of your cheeks, it doesn’t look over-stretched or loose at all, which is a very difficult line to toe! Definitely better than CK briefs before.
Legs: Not much to say about the leg openings on these briefs. Not too loose, nor cutting in to your torso or thighs either.
Other: Shout out to @twoguysin202 on Tumblr, who I frequently chat with (they’ve followed my blog almost since the beginning) and sent me this pair for Christmas! Always fun wearing someone else’s undies. ;-D
Overall: 4/5 – all in all, a great pair! Comfy, doesn’t look bad at all, (unless you hate the whitey tighty look in general,) very easy pair to just throw on for any given day.
Great for: Everyday wear, Sleepwear
Good for: Loungewear

Calvin Klein – Cotton Classic Brief – White – Medium

037

Material: 100% Cotton, as if you would expect anything else from a mainstream brand on a very traditional pair of underwear. Definitely soft, but not luxuriously so in any way. It will definitely feel like you’re wearing underwear with these.
Aesthetic: Ah, the whitey tighty… I’ve discussed the back-and-forth about whether whitey tighties are “sexy” or not before. I think this line of very traditional briefs from KC do a good job of sprucing up the “whitey tighty” into something presentable, with fairly clean piping and shape, no weak fabric, and an alternate-color, nicely-lined waistband. It’s built for the “average Joe”, though, and looks better from the front than from the back. CK does a better job of turning the whitey-tighty into a sexual accessory when they modify the cut to use less fabric and forego the fly.
Waistband: Overall, very comfy typical waistband that sits below the waist.
Pouch: There’s a bit of room and shaping for you, but closer to the traditional brief design, it’s more of a strap-you-down sort of thing, especially with the vertical fly putting two distinct layers of fabric stretched over your junk instead of just one. That said, I do highly appreciate the fly on this pair. CK went with what works, without trying to modify it up or down or out. In fact, even with the fair amount of overlap, the fly is so easy to use that it’s not that uncomfortable if you whip ALL of your junk out, not just your wille. (Not a practical piece of trivia for everyday bathroom use, of course, but if you want your boys free for… other activities… it’s nice.)
Backside: Very comfy, but also not very flattering at all! Ya win some, ya lose some.
Legs: Not much to say about the leg openings on these briefs. Not too loose, nor cutting in to your torso or thighs either.
Overall: 3/5 – I personally think it’s worth having some really basic, simple underwear in your collection, and CK’s briefs here would be a great way to go. CK also has slight variations on these briefs, e.g. depending on how low or high you want the rise, so worth checking out.
