waist was still to snug even though I ordered XL. I'm usually only 34 waist as I am slim. Pouch is for huge guys so the proportions of this jock is crazy... XL w huge pouch but tiny waist. Waist band was crushing, straps comfy wide but pull down too snug so your package is pulled way back between your legs vs comfortably cradling. If you want a jock that smashes and pulls you back - you'll love it. I wear lightweight jocks vs underwear for coolness in spring and summer but this was a bad purchase. I'm sticking with Papi, 2xist and N2N
