worse than you can possibly imagine

By far the worst item of clothing I've ever purchased. They are unimaginably uncomfortable. It's like the entire back of the shorts jumps straight up your butt-crack the moment you put them on. After trying them out on several occasions and realizing i just couldn't possibly stand to wear them the way they were, I even got out a needle and thread and tried to make an alteration to help make them bearable. (I've done this successfully many times before with other clothes). It didn't work. I really wanted to like these boxers, or at least find a way to make them work, but I just couldn't. I could never have come up with a more uncomfortable pair of seemingly innocent boxers no matter how hard I tried. It's something about the material. It sticks to the hair/skin like magic and slides into any crack it can find. It's not from static either. It seems to be from the particular weave/texture of the fabric.They don't repel odor at all, either. They ENHANCE odor. None of my clothes have ever really gotten particularly stinky with regular wear, even if I wear them several days in a row and sweat heavily in them. I wear deodorant and I'm just not a very stinky person. These, however, are like a peatree dish (sp?) for bacteria. If I barely sweat in them just a little bit they will start stinking within just a few hours or so, and the way they say to wash them isn't particularly good at getting rid of the stink. This is a complete ripoff. I will never buy anything from ExOfficio again.
