First off, let’s talk fabric—100% cotton sounds basic, but these boxers *breathe*. I wore them on a sweaty commute and a lazy Sunday, and they never felt clingy or gross. The blue multi plaid is louder than my morning alarm, but hey, it’s fun peeking out under gym shorts.

Sizing is a gamble though. My usual small fit like a relaxed medium—waistband gaped enough to stash a snack (not ideal). Swapped for XS, and suddenly they hugged just right. Pro tip: check the reviews before clicking ‘buy’. Some batches apparently vary wildly—one user got a three-pack with three different sizes (yikes).

The elastic? Goldilocks-approved—snug without digging in. My partner stole a pair for grocery runs and now refuses to give them back (‘like wearing a cloud,’ apparently). But thin fabric critics aren’t wrong—these won’t win warmth awards. Perfect for summer, though.

Final verdict: When GAP nails consistency, these are weekday MVPs. Just maybe keep the receipt handy.
