Let me start by setting the background: For just about all of my life, ever since I was old enough to start picking out my own underwear and convinced my mother to stop buying me tighty-whiteys, I have been a boxer guy. I thought I would always be a boxer guy.

Fast forward twenty or so years later, the baggy hip hop look is over and lo and behold, the fashions are getting tighter and slimmer, and I'm getting tired of tucking, jamming, and tugging my old-fashioned boxers into my expensive skinny and slim fit denim. I realized it was time for a change.

I had tried boxer briefs once in the past, just for the hell of it, but found that the legs tended to ride up during the day, making them even tighter and more uncomfortable than briefs. I mentioned this to my fashion designer friend, and he suggested that I look into the trunk cut, which isn't as high as briefs but with less leg than boxer-briefs.

I picked up a few pairs of these CK Steels after reading some positive reviews about them online. I planned on wearing them just with my jeans and using my boxers for everything else.

Even coming from a boxer guy, I can almost wear these all day and not even notice a difference. To be fair to boxers, at the end of the day when you take these Steels off, there is undoubtedly a little bit of relief to be free from constriction and to put on a pair of boxers to lounge around the house in, but hey, you can't have everything. Still, though, these drawers are totally stretchable, soft, and breathable. I got the medium, which is a nice snug fit, but it doesn't matter since they are just so soft and flexible; even the waistband.

I've got to stay true to my working-class roots and keep the boxers on hand as my mainstay for when I wear work suits and other loose pants, but I'm glad to have these drawers on hand for when situation calls.

Ladies (and gents), I highly recommend these underwear for your boyfriend (or yourself). They are SO soft, as in not-of-this-Earth soft. Not to mention, they will cup your behind and package so beautifully, they will feel as a second skin to your already amazing attributes (I'm sure ~_^). Just be careful! Hang dry, do not put in a dryer. Once you do (by accident), then they lose much of their silky soft sexiness. They still retain the sexiness, but that silk is gone.

I bought these for my boyfriend and he loves them, he says they are very comfortable and then look GREAT on him! He's usually a Medium but I bought him a Large and they still look a little tight, although he still says there extremly comfortable.

I found some previous comments to be true, the material is extremely soft, and feels great when just feeling it, but for briefs, it's a little too soft. This causes the "legs" to ride up so that it fits much more like a sport brief (like a bikini Speedo) rather than like a trunk or boxer brief. Also looks kind of funny, like it's half way between a trunk and bikini sport brief. The "legs" will not stay down where they belong after the slightest movement. The good parts - I slept in it. If a brief is too tight in the waist, or not supportive enough, or way too tight on the "package", I can't go to sleep or stay asleep when wearing it, and I slept well in this, all night without having to get up in the middle of the night to rip it off. The waist is at a good height, not as low as it looks in the pictures, but definitely still at a fashionable and very comfortable height which works well under snug fit jeans. The pouch configuration feels pretty good at first, but is a little small and allows edges of the sac to get pinched at the edge of the pouch when worn under jeans (I am not above average size in this department). The width of the elastic waist is nice, they did that part right. I'll occasionally enjoy wearing this one, but won't be buying any more. I don't think it's worth the price.

I have recently gone on a "hunt" for the most comfortable underwear, buying several briefs, boxer-briefs, and compression shorts, and to date, my all time favorite underwear is sold on Amazon as a swimsuit but it's 90% brief underwear and only 10% swimsuit, it's the "Men's Bikini Swimsuit Platinum Sport" and the price is pretty good compared to just about anything else found on Amazon. I was clued onto it by some of the reviews "complaining" it was more like underwear than swim wear, and I, therefore, purchased it for use as underwear and am VERY happy with it.

These are great for lower waist cut jeans that are a slim fit...they won't start to roll up on the bottom of the legs. Perfect for that especially!

Very comfortable (Not too "low rise" to be uncomfortable). Would buy again, but certainly look for a sale price.

this underwear are by far the best a man can have. when i tried at first it felt kind of funny,but then when my body got use to it i just felt like i was wearing nothing on me!
extremely comfortable...silk feeling!!

It arrived on time. Honestly, this is the most comfortable trunk I have ever had.
If you like tight, flexible and soft underwear, this would be a good choice. Additionally, I like its design as well--really fashion!

These underwear feel great. They don't ride up and are lightweight and perfect for summer in the desert.

My boyfriend usually wears (and loves) the Calvin Klein Men's Micro Modal Boxer Brief, but as an experiment, I bought him this low rise trunk. He likes it, and the material is great (though I don't know if it will require hand washing to maintain its feel over time). It's a little more tight and brief-esque than he usually goes for, but it looks incredibly sexy and so he likes to wear it around me. I don't think he wears it on his own, though, on "comfy days."
