Basically I like them. Technically they’re not perfect but my bottom line is I really enjoy wearing them.
Did they blow me away? No. I thought about giving them for stores. But because I keep using them and enjoying them I just figure why not give them the first star fish store. There’s probably something better but I’m new to buying underwear that’s a little more expensive than hands. So for me this is a really great underwear
Did they blow me away? No. I thought about giving them for stores. But because I keep using them and enjoying them I just figured why not give them the first star fifth star. There’s probably something better but I’m new to buying underwear that’s a little more expensive than hands. So for me this is a really great underwear.
A few facts to flush out the details:
The material:
It’s more stre . more than I expected and so it seems to cling to me just the right amount. Do I actually believe it’s 95% cotton? Not really. And quite honestly I’ve always really preferred underwear that was 100% cotton. So I thought I would get irritated with this since it’s kind of stretching and I figure it must have more spandex than it’s letting on. Yet somehow, The material is quite appealing and I’ve had no problems enjoying it.
The waistband:
While it’s true what other people say that the waistband is higher than I’d like, I simply folded it over exactly once. Then it’s not a little closer to my bellybutton than I prefer. And also the waistband isn’t actually touching me because now there is cotton between the waistband in my skin. Quite honestly this provides something that’s probably indistinguishable from waist bands that are encased in cotton. Totally works.
One more thing about the waistband. I really love that there’s no stupid name written all over it. I don’t need to be reminded of the manufacturer when I put it on. No one else needs to see these underwear with all secure. It’s just a cleaner look to have all black and that’s how I like it. Thumbs up to this brand for not putting some stupid name on there. I think I’d give it an extra half star for this feature .
Size:
I’m 5 foot nine and weigh 230 pounds. With Hans hundred percent cotton briefs, I prefer wearing a large so that it’s not enough to hold the family jewels. After a lot of reading of reviews and Wing back-and-forth, I went with the extra large for this brand. Good choice. It holds everything just fine. My suggestion is to count on accurate sizing. If you are an extra large, buy an extra large in the brand. That worked for me.
Privates:
technically this underwear doesn’t have a pouch. It has seams where seams would be if it did have a pouch, but does not actually have a pouch (or...not a notable one....maybe just a bit). And yet somehow, these hug and support the family jewels just right. First time I put them on, I was able to sort of push the seam in between the family jewels and thigh, and create my own pouch. I checked it two minutes later and it was no longer that way. So I thought that would be a problem. And yet somehow it seems to hold things just snug enough it’s perfect. I checked again just now and I do have the pouch. So maybe it is pouchi g properly in it's own after all. Whatever is going on, I’m completely happy with the pouch such as it is.
Overall feel:
just to summarize, I really like the overall feel of this underwear. It’s not too tight on the thigh (just the right amount of cling), I am pleased with the pouch.
Quality after washing:
I’ve never watch these so I can’t say that could be an issue so I’m curious what will happen. But I really think the spandex will hold us thing together.
Durability:
The material is just a little thinner than I’m used to from the Hanes cotton ones that I came from. I’ll just have to see how it holds up, but I’m not actually concerned about it. At these prices I think this is a great deal.
If I recall this is cheaper than Calvin Klein and a lot of the other underwear in the top 10 best sellers. So it’s a good deal and does a great job. For quality I would probably give it four or 4 1/2 stars simply because there probably is something that’s a little bit better I’ve just never tried it. But I’m completely satisfied, and for the price, it gets five stars.
---------------------
UPDATE:
Two of the 8 pair I purchased have developed holes. I think mostly from user error...you know...butt sweat...yep, I occasionally rub. I shouldn't..
Anyway, I loved these for awhile, but those two definitely lasted shorter than my all cotton hanes in the past.
I'm not dissapointed -- i loved these more than the hanes!
But I've now moved on to the david archy. Pricey, but the one reviewed above do NOT have cloth that fully descends into the 'thigh pits' (only part way), however the archy's DO cover all that, so sweat should not be a problem. I consider the Natural Feelings underwear to be great underwear at a good price, and I love that they are cotton. The archy's are a step up in form-fitting-ness. Both great, but Archy takes the win.......
I certainly won't be throwing out my Natural Feelings, tho !
