I got my Saxx Apparel Bamboo Boxer brief a couple of weeks ago – and was traveling a ton and couldn’t really try it out. Since then, I’ve worn it twice – on very different occasions.
First, I wore it all day on a weekend – lounging around the house. Working in the yard. Running errands. Just normal weekend stuff. Second, I wore it this past Wednesday and put it through the wringer of an active life. All day at work in meetings in a stuff office building and then on two flights en route to Miami – 4 hours to Charlotte NC and then another 2.5 hours to Miami from there. A lot more sitting and walking briskly through airports.
First impressions: When I first took them out of the box the first thing I noticed is how soft the fabric is. Bamboo is all the rage these days. It helps prevent odors, wicks moisture and is overall just a very soft fabric to wrap yourself in. The second thing – I couldn’t help but notice the little mesh panels on either side of the crotch. I was a little disturbed in looking at it – how would this mesh panel feel?
The styling of the boxer brief is pretty simple and standard – black fabric, some white stitching around the crotch. Overall – your basic boxer.
Through both times wearing them, I can tell you how the panels feel – they don’t feel at all. You don’t even notice them. They’re exquisitely integrated into the design and are as soft and seamless as the rest of the boxer brief. It surprised me.
The rest of the fit of the boxer brief was amazing. Great waistband. Fit the contours of my body well. Overall, really nice. The only complaint I would have is that the front pouch, while comfortable, wasn’t overall flattering. I guess I’m used to briefs… and the boxer brief didn’t fit as snugly as I’m used to (is that really a complaint? Or just the style of the boxer?)
At the end of two different days – I noticed one amazing thing. My package wasn’t sweaty or sticky. After a full day running around town and doing yard work, or sitting in meetings and traveling across the country, it usually would be. I’m used to having my boys stick to my legs, or at the very lest being a bit sticky when the day is done (hey, it happens – you all know it).
The combination of the bamboo fabric and the little inserts do the trick. The inserts keep your balls from rubbing (or sticking) to your legs… and overall, keep everything a lot fresher than boxers, boxer briefs or briefs in general. In short, they did the trick!
My verdict (all out of 10):
Fit: 9
Material: 10
Comfort: 8
Style: 7
Wearability: 10
Total Score: 8.8
I was really surprised by this boxer brief. Thanks to Saxx Apparel for providing it – I’m planning to buy the trunk now (a slightly shorter leg – more with my style) and definitely will wear them on cross country trips – with as much travel as I do, it will be well worth it!
For more on the technology – watch their video (re-posted below). Quite amazing – and it work!
I wore my Saxx Apparel boxer briefs for the second time – this time all day in meetings and then on 6+ hours of flights from Denver to Miami (with a little stopover in Charlotte). How did they fare from 7am – Midnight with a lot of moving around? I’ll let you know tomorrow…
I haven’t forgotten about the review for Saxx Apparel. I wore them once (liked it so far, but not enough to judge) then have been traveling for almost 2 weeks straight – so I haven’t had time to wear them again. Going to put them through the torture test of all day wear and then the 4+ hour flight to Miami on Wednesday and will let you know what I find out.
Aussiebum announced their new Cottonsoft briefs and boxerbriefs last week. Get smooth super-soft cotton comfort and great support – currently only in black, white and gray – but more options likely to come before the end of the year.
Here are the briefs:
Here are the boxer briefs (or hipsters as they call them down under):
They’re very hot and fun. Rumor has it I *might* have a pair to review in the coming weeks. Once I do, rest assured I’ll let you know what I think (but be warned – I have a soft spot for super soft underwear – which is why I love my CK Steel briefs).
Got an email from Dude Underwear offering up some pics for the blog. These are some of my favorite – because they have a story.
Murray is Dude Underwear‘s new model (he happens to be the new BF of their cover boy Dave). Murray and Dave both were models at their underwear show a while back Royal Oak , MI. Both boys got a LOT of attention.
Scott from Dude says the photo shoot went great, except while they were shooting behind a old building, the Police showed up and gave them the 3rd degree…
“What are you doing? Why are you here ? Why are you taking pictures? How old are they?”
Turns out the lady behind the building called and complained (while also staring at them the entire time).
Scott had a few choice words with the Police, and they left. After he returned home he called the Sargent of their Police dept. and complained. Not sure how it all worked out, but the pics came out great.
I’ve never worn any Dude Underwear, but they look comfy – and totally sexy!
So I love speedo swimwear – the briefs, board shorts, squarecuts, heck – even their flip flops are cool. And now – I just learned via Global Guys Gear twitter feed that they’re coming out with a new underwear line! Here’s a YouTube clip of the photo shoot. Check it out. Sexy and hot! (The men’s stuff comes in about 1/2 way through).

I stumbled upon this today – not sure how I missed it when it launched – but Falcon Studios and /baskit/ underwear have a little co-sponsored microsite to promote Falcon’s new movie “Dripping Wet 2 – Undie Swap”. You can check it out here or by clicking on the picture below.
Basically you pick two porn stars from the movie and they swap /baskit/ undies. Kind of cute and entertaining to play with the combinations. Check it out. Let me know what you think.
