I'm not entirely sure what would be considered inappropriate for a review on underwear, particularly when it comes to pictures, so I'm hoping I kept it clean enough. I also believe that there's a lot to consider with underwear, so hopefully I provide enough helpful information.
First, let me pick on the packaging for a second. A couple things. First, it lists as features that they're moisture wicking, they have a comfort waistband, they have a fly front, and - *gasp* - they're machine washable. Needless to say, that last one seems pretty unnecessary to note, but whatever. The waistband, to me, wasn't the most comfortable. It wasn't terrible and didn't dig into me, but it also wasn't as comfortable as some others I've had. The packaging also notes that the model on it is 6' and wearing a size large - go ahead and brag, why don't you? Geez. But seriously, I only note that because I then feel compelled to mention that, for reference, I'm 5'9" and wearing a size large in these pictures as well. As you can probably see, it fits me a bit differently, and more snugly, than it does the model, and it seems in particular that I have larger thighs, comparatively.
More about the fit... Full disclosure that I tend to wear boxers most of the time and boxer briefs when I'm going to need to be moving around a bit more, to reduce movement - let's put it that way. The fit in the groin then is, again, snug for me. Possibly a little too snug, but frankly, the other brands of boxer briefs I have (bigger name brands, mid-tier quality) fit similarly. They're comfortable enough - again, the same level of comfort as any bigger name brand, mid-tier boxer briefs I've worn. If you're wanting it to look flattering as well, judge for yourself (with the caveat that you are, after all, looking at me, and I'm not exactly a model). However, if I may say so, my back side is a bit curvy for a guy. And in my opinion, these boxer briefs are not flattering of what is possibly my biggest asset. The fly area - I felt it was a good balance between being accessible and still closing back up fully to be able to not worry about anything sneaking through unwanted. That area seemed a bit more tightly contained/sewn than in other brands I've had, but that was good in my opinion because I've had others that don't have fabric that fully overlaps or is as secure as I need.
The colors - there's navy (which in these pictures looks more black than navy) and there's gray in this pack. I'm sure the manufacturer would tell you that they're made the same way, with the same material, just in different colors, but there's something about the navy blue ones that feels slightly smoother/softer to me. Probably all in my head. They look more sleek though.
To wrap it all up - solid choice of boxer briefs that are pretty much like the standard, bigger name brand, mid-tier kinds, but at a better price. Maybe not the most flattering. But good enough. AND they're machine washable! I do recommend them, if you're into boxer briefs.
