Xtremen – Classic Stripes Boxer Brief – White Stripes – Medium

098

Material: 80% Nylon, 10% Polyester, 10% Spandex, which definitely feels synthetic and on the thick side, but is surprisingly soft and breathable despite it. It’s not weightless by any means, but I honestly kinda like it – which is a bit of a surprise to myself, as I had originally slated this pair for my Sales page before double-checking every pair I thought to sell and deciding I actually liked this one!
Aesthetic: Racing stripes are always fun. X-D It’s an interesting choice on Xtremen’s part to make the stripes go in different directions on each panel of the fabric, but I think it works out amazingly well! The stripes on the pouch really highlight the pouch’s contouring, especially if the pouch is being well-filled, and the horizontal stripes on the inner thighs draw your attention there just by being perpendicular, and it’s always fun looking right between the legs.
Waistband: Fairly typical as far as waistbands go I guess! Both soft enough and sturdy enough without going too far in either direction.
Pouch: Really nice shape! Not sure what else to say – neither “out there” or lackluster, just a very nice pouch. =-)
Backside: The Y-arrangement of the seams here makes the backside look a little bit messy because of just how obviously the stripes do not line up (and also because the stripes here are no longer vertical) but I still think it looks pretty fun overall. The material and cut do a good job of holding you in with a sleeker overall profile and such, with just a bit of cheek emphasis on the lower middle panel.
Legs: I like the length here for the most part. I will say that, like with the backside, the material and the cut work together to keep you tightened in, so the legs provide a sort of constant gentle squeeze, but it’s not focused on the hems so it’s honestly quite comfortable. The only problem is that these legs will roll up over time, but it takes a while, so that’s not too bad.
Overall: 3.5/5 – If you like your underwear feeling on the snug side, this is an amazing pair, with both the fabric and the overall look being pretty good just in general so it can be fun for just about everyone.
Great for: Sexy wear

Xtremen – Classic Stripes Boxer Brief – Red, White, and Blue – Medium

029

Material: 80% Nylon, 10% Polyester, 10% Spandex, definitely feels smooth, sleek, and synthetic. Not as lightweight as it probably could be, though, and not incredibly breathable.
Aesthetic: The stripes pattern makes it quite a looker! Especially with the changing angle of the stripes on the pouch. I’m not a huge fan of the horizontal pattern inserted between the thighs, though – the discontinuities are disconcerting.
Waistband: A little on the tight side, and not the softest material either. Folds over fairly easily.
Pouch: Has some contour to give your boys a little bit of room, but overall there’s not much there – it keeps you in place by not giving you much room to fill out. Nice if you’re exercising, especially with the cool-feeling, low-friction fabric, and also alright if you’re gonna be sitting most of your day. Aside from that, though, not much to write home about.
Backside: Like the rest of the pair, it’s on the tighter side, and this is one pair that really just holds everything down instead of meeting your cheeks in the middle. It’s tight enough that the seams (which are already visually a bit too obvious) don’t lie fully against the skin, which shows just how taught the backside is.
Legs: Fairly good, but again a little on the tight side for my liking. Fairly good length, though, especially since the fabric is relatively low-friction.
Overall: 2.5/5 – not bad, but you can do better, I think. Looks better than it feels. I’m wondering if it would have benefited me to get a large instead of a medium – would maybe solve a lot of the tightness issues, but don’t think it would have solved the waistband folding or the general pouch shape.
