Amazon Essentials Tag-Free Cotton Briefs

Se los compré a mi esposo y está muy contento. La tela es buena y justo a la medida.

Excelentes y bastante cómodos, aunque un poco grandes en la entrepierna, pero no afecta, buen precio

I thought I’d share my search for the best underwear on Amazon. To help you judge things I’m 6 feet tall, 190lbs, with a 40″ waist. I’m 55 years old but still in somewhat good shape, probably 10lbs overweight.

My previous underwear of choice was Dockers but they are no longer made. I loved the Docker’s durability, fit, and comfort but nothing lasts forever (thin saggy big name undies are not even under consideration).

I’ve always been a tidy-whitey guy but I thought I’d try to up my game and see if I couldn’t find something that was both comfortable and sexier, so I tried to be open minded.

My criteria:
– Need to be comfortable to wear all day at my desk at work and walking around the office
– Need to breath so things everything stays cool and dry
– Need to provide comfortable support
– Ideally something more sexy
– Ideally reasonable cost (I’ve spent $30 for Patagonia underwear that is great and I use when backpacking or on extended trips but a bit pricey for everyday)

There are a LOT of choices, it’s overwhelming really. Different styles, materials, etc. I already knew I didn’t like boxers (no support) and boxer briefs (ride up and uncomfortable). I just ordered some of everything else and returned most of it.

Note that in general when it comes to anything more modern and sexy a 40″ waist puts you in XL territory which is the top range of most offerings so I just barely made the cut–obviously the target market is young & fit men.

The good news is I did find several comfortable, surprisingly affordable choices, and sexy ones too (according to my girlfriend). To summarize here are the keepers:

David Archy Briefs (MicroModel, $6/pair)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071WNC5L6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Sexy, modern, and comfortable

Amazon Essentials Briefs (Cotton, $2.50/pair)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XWLNK5F/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_4
Comfortable and inexpensive basic underwear, colored versions available

Layer8 Mid-Rise Briefs (Polyester/Spandex, $4/pair)
Comfortable & sexy but does not breath as well as the above

Here are the full reviews of all the ones I tried (many were called but few chosen):

Thongs/Bikini
————-
==== MASS21 (MicroModel, $6/pair)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0721QFF6G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Technically sold as swimwear but I thought I would try in the spirit of being opened minded. I thought I would hate them but they were actually quite comfortable and I wondered if I would grow to like them once I got used to the low-rise and butt floss. Your junk is basically in a pouch be well supported.

To be honest I love a woman in a thong but didn’t see it as doing much for me (perhaps milage would vary with different ass?) especially as my hair stuck our around the pouch…not sure I was up to manscaping to that extent. I was sure my girlfriend would like, and was surprised when she was unenthused. Without her being turned on it wasn’t really compelling for me so back they went.

==== YKC Bikini Bulge (Nylon/Spandex, $5/pair)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071LLS3BP/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s05?ie=UTF8&psc=1
A strange one: essentially a pouch in front but full coverage on the but with nothing on the sides. A thought it looked more manly than the thong but wondered if after repeated washings it wouldn’t end up in my butt crack (in that case I think a thong would be better).

Again, my girlfriend was cool on them so back they went.

Low/Mid-Rise Briefs
——————-
==== Layer 8 (Polyester/Spandex, $4/pair)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075DJLF9D/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
These are a sexier version of a traditional brief but mid-rise so I didn’t notice it as much as low-rise briefs (which take some adjustment period). The material felt great but the first time I wore it it obvious did not breath as well as cotton but not nearly as bad as previous polyester underwear I wore (and threw out because things got so swampy)…after a washing things improved quite a bit…acceptable if you are not active but not a choice for a hike IMPO.

Washing direction mean I’ll need to wash separately as a delicate but that is okay.

My girlfriend thought they looked nice and I kept them…probably more for longing around the house than a full day at the office or working in the yard. I will wear these but may not order more right away.

==== 2(X)LIST Brief (Cotton, $15/pair)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LO0GJC8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Looked sexy-ish and pima cotton felt nice and fit well out of the package but I thought “these are not going to fit after they shrink in the wash”. Not as comfortable as the best on my list. Not worth the money IMO…back they go.

==== Lacoste (Cotton/Model, $17/pair)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M7RZ3WE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Very well made feel and nice pima cotton. The only brand that fit me a bit baggy around the legs, perhaps it would get better after shrinking in wash but with better valued options why bother…back they go.

==== UnderGents (MicroModel, $13/pair)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0741GWV85/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s04?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Very high bikini cut in front that I did not like as it exposed lots of hair. Material very smooth but I wasn’t convinced it would hold up as it was quite thin. Didn’t like them especially for the price, so back they go.

==== Emporio Armani (Micro Modal, $22/pair)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007ZYJQ2M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s05?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Very nice material and fit. Low-rise and sexy. I think I might have keep these except that the cost is crazy and they are not that much nicer than cheaper options–also at this price point I would consider technical underwear from Patagonia. Just too expensive for what you get, so returned.

==== Calvin Klein (Cotton, $7/pair)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JQRSGWW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Even the largest size is too small, returned. Better choices on this list.

Full-Briefs, think Fruit-of-the-Loom (Cotton, $2.50/pair)
———————————————————
==== Amazon Essentials
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XWLNK5F/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_4
Amazon has a major winner here in my opinion. These are the closest replacement for my old Dockers if being sexy is not an issue…in fact I think they are better than the Dockers and what a bargain!

My girlfriend initially like the colored one, then after seeing some of the other underwear though she did not like the super-full coverage.

These I keep and will order more…perfect for office or working in the yard. Workhorse underwear but other choices are also comfortable and sexier.

==== David Archy Pouch Brief (MicroModel, $6/pair)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071WNC5L6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Very comfortable with an innovative 2 pouch system (they include directions on how to wear lol). Very breathable. Washing direction mean I’ll need to wash separately as a delicate but that is okay.

These are good everyday sexy underwear for men at a reasonable price…I could see only having these in my drawer. Plan to order more.

Mini-Boxer Briefs
—————–
==== Kronis (Cotton, $10)
I thought these looked great on me, low rise, manly, and sexy…but the mini leg part rides up and is uncomfortable.

If I’m feeling sexy I might wear these with my girlfriend but not for a day at the office.

I vacillated between keeping and returning these but in the end I decided why not have in my drawer to wear now and then. I don’t intend to order more right away.

I absolutely love these briefs! They fit perfectly. Typically “tighty whiteys” are usually very high waisted and the current briefs offered by big names like Hanes and Fruit of the Loom are very low cut and snug (more of a European cut). These Amazon briefs are a perfect middle ground. They are comfortable, stylish, not too tight but not too stretchy, and a great value. I like the mix of colors in this pack, simple black and grey shades not bright colors like other companies offer. As I have gotten older I have switched back to briefs for their support and have been struggling to find a pair that fit me just right until I tried these. I have varicocele so I need support but I also need underwear that are not too tight.

Fits just right, very comfortable on the boys, with lots of room for the colossus to lounge. The perfect height on the hips. Holds everything in place well, which means they are made with very strong thread. A really good deal here. Matter of fact, this would be a deal at twice the price. There we have it… I just wrote a review about underwear, the end must be near.

Anyways…These are actually really good, buy em.
