I bought these boxers on sort of a whim after researching merino underwear brands and looking for new options for travel/backpacking. The previous brands I tried just didn’t have cuts that fit my body well. I am not usually a boxer or shorts person, but these got great reviews so I added them to the cart, along with a couple of other styles (also wins!). These boxers are unbelievably comfortable and flattering. I am an athletic/curvy size 8/medium. A wide elastic waistband is usually my nemesis but this one is soft and flexible, staying in place while creating no excess muffin top look. I am honestly surprised at how much I like the fit and feel of these. The fog color is see through, beware. Sadly they don’t seem to come in neutral colors like oh, say, black, which is a mystery, and they are sold out of M in all colors or I would be buying a 3 pack immediately.
