After cycling through countless disappointing boxers that either rode up or felt like sandpaper, I finally tried the 5Mayi cotton blend boxers—and wow, what a difference. The 55% cotton/45% polyester fabric is soft right out of the package, with zero itchiness. They’re breathable enough for summer but substantial enough to avoid that cheap, tissue-paper feel.

The waistband is a standout: fabric-covered and double-stitched, so it doesn’t dig in or lose elasticity after washes (unlike *cough* certain premium brands). I’m a 34" waist and the Medium fits like it was tailored—no gaping fly or saggy seat. The leg openings are roomy without being baggy, so they stay put under jeans but don’t bunch up during workouts.

Washing is a non-issue; toss them in with your darks and they come out looking new. After three months, colors haven’t faded, and the seams are intact—no unraveling threads or loose buttons. Pro tip: Size up if you’re between sizes; they shrink just a smidge.

Minor gripes? The thigh fit leans snug if you’re muscular, and the waistband stitching could be softer for sensitive skin. But at this price point? These are my new daily drivers. Even my partner stole a pair for lazy Sundays—high praise from someone who usually swears by designer underwear.
