Super Soft and Fits Well.
Amazon Essentials Men’s Breathable Underwear is a solid everyday choice that balances comfort, affordability, and practicality. The fabric feels lightweight and soft against the skin, with good breathability that helps keep you cool throughout the day, especially useful in warmer weather or during long hours of wear. The fit is generally true to size, offering enough stretch for movement without feeling too tight or restrictive. The waistband stays in place without any issues. While it may not have the premium feel of higher-end brands, it delivers excellent value for the price and holds up well after multiple washes. Overall, it’s a reliable, no-frills option for anyone looking for comfortable, budget-friendly underwear. These underwears are long lasting due to made of high quality cotton. They are in multiple colors.

Excellent product, prefer these over Fruit of the Loom
Glad I selected these. They are very nicely made and sturdy. I especially like that it has a wider elastic waistband. This makes them very comfortable and they stay up better.

Great product except for labeling ink.
Overall great product, the fit is good and price is also great. The reason for not giving 5 stars is the ink/plastic use as labeling peals and gets itchy/irritating. Overall worth buying.

Best basic underwear out there...and a bargain too
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.

Outstanding Quality. Great Fit and Support. I Explain the Size Chart.
Updated review: I still think very highly of these briefs. Some further insights: Amazon sent the wrong size. I ordered Large. A prominent label on the package said Large. But the small print on the package and the product's tagless label say Medium. The briefs shrank very slightly after washing - maybe 0.5 inch (1.3 cm). That made them a bit tight on my 38 inch waist. I looked at the garment and package more closely and realized they are size Medium. So I returned them - yes - you can return them. Please wash them first! I am now evaluating the Large and XL to see which fits me best. These briefs are really well designed. They are the widest I've found in the crotch and they have plenty of room to provide comfortable support in the crotch. SIZE CHART EXPLAINER: It is telling you the unstretched waist size of the garment. For Extra Large it says 34". If you lay the garment flat on a table and measure the width of the garment it is 17". Double that to get the total width of the garment - 34 inches. The fabric stretches! So XL will fit a person with a 38" waist with a small amount of fabric stretching. I find this gives very comfortable fit and very good support in the crotch. If you prefer more stretch to give a tighter / snugger fit AND SUPPORT then consider the Large (31" in the Size Chart). The Medium (28" in Size Chart) will also fit a 38" waist but a bit too tightly at least for my preference. I highly recommend these briefs. If this review is helpful please give it a vote to let me know. Original review without edits: These are excellent briefs. The fact they are reasonably priced is just a great added plus. Completely ignore the Size Chart and order your regular size. I have a 38 inch waist. According to the size chart I would need a XXXL that does not exist. I ordered my normal size Large. It fits well. The fabric stretches some when putting it on and the fit is comfortably snug. The garment width at the narrowest point in the crotch is slightly more than 5 inches, which is a lot more than other brands I tried. This give a very comfortable "pouch" and great support. I suppose IF it shrinks a lot with wearing it might become too tight; if that happens I will update this review. I have heard from others that if one needs to wear an incontinence pad it works very well with these briefs. Not surprising. The fabric is soft and comfortable. The brief sits at the natural waist. I suppose if you prefer a looser fit or less support then order one size larger than you typically need. Very highly recommended.

Size up for gear up for discomfort
So the quality of the under ware isn't bad, but their sizing is off; recommend going a size larger then you think you need. While matching the size of the rest of mine, after a few attempts I could not wear them as they were to tight and uncomfortable.

Good looking, fit comfortably
The Amazon Essentials Men's Cotton Breathable Tag-Free Briefs Underwear are very comfortable. The waste band keeps the briefs in place and they do not ride up with wear. The material is very comfortable even when I am very warm from the outside temperature. They look good, I would order again. The way they folded the briefs was new to me and I will use the same folding method when I store them as it saves space and makes it easy to select a particular color from my underwear drawer.

a new trick for this old dog
I have loyally bought "Name" brand briefs for many years but they went down the "increasing price, decreasing quality" path. I gave these a try and I like them - good quality ,a comfortable fit, and great value. if they stand the test of time, I would rate them as equal to any, better than most.

Underwear
These underwear are excellent. They’re less than half the price of a pretty good name brand that I do buy and the size is proper. I’m a big man and it’s nice to have something that fits properly wide waistband. Excellent material I would buy them again and again you’ll see.
