Okay, so I finally got my hands on these Fruit of the Loom boxer briefs everyone's been talking about. Here's the real tea:
First off, that cooling tech? LEGIT. I was skeptical, but after a full day running errands in summer heat, I didn't feel like I was wearing a sauna down there. The mesh actually works!
The sizing is... interesting. I'm right between M and L (32" waist gang represent) and went with medium. They fit like a glove - maybe too much like a glove if you catch my drift. Super supportive but some might find them snug.
Now about that waistband... WHY is it so wide? It's like they're trying to brand my love handles. And it rolls down unless I wear them low-rise style. Not exactly what I signed up for.
Random observation: The logo situation is wild. Every single pair has this bright blue branding that looks nothing like the product photos. My black ones? Still got that blue logo screaming 'Fruit of the Loom' to anyone who might catch a glimpse.
After several washes, they're holding up surprisingly well. No fading or weird stretching yet. Definitely more durable than my old fast-fashion undies.
Final verdict? 7/10 - great performance but some questionable design choices. Would buy again but maybe try a different style next time.
