Let's talk about the 5Mayi Men's Boxers – a staple that's been getting a lot of love (and some critiques) in my daily rotation. First off, the fabric blend (55% cotton/45% polyester) strikes a sweet spot: soft enough to feel cozy against the skin but sturdy enough to hold its shape after multiple washes. No shrinkage drama here!
The waistband is a standout feature for me. Unlike some brands where the elastic digs in by midday, this one stays put without leaving angry red marks. It's reinforced with fabric covering and double stitching, which feels premium. That said, one reviewer mentioned rigidity – if you're sensitive to tight bands, sizing up might help.
Real-talk sizing note: They run *true to standard American sizes*, but the legs are cut slightly shorter than traditional boxers. Perfect if you hate bunching under jeans, but athletic thighs might find them snug. My 36" waist fits the L like a glove, and the breathable loose fit makes them ideal for sleeping or lazy Sundays.
The fly design deserves applause – functional buttons (some say over-engineered with double buttons) and enough room for easy access without gaping. Patterns? Vibrant and hold color well post-wash. Pro tip: Wash cold with like colors to prevent fading.
At this price point, they outperform many premium brands I've tried. Not 100% cotton purists' dream, but the poly blend adds durability. Just wish they offered more neutral solids for formal wear days. 4.5/5 – would rebuy for the no-ride-up comfort alone!
