I buy these time and time again. I prefer the cotton over other fabrics with the cotton stretch being the best. It stretches with me and they are very comfortable. These are your I'm cool, relaxed and not doing much kinda underwear. I would not recommend for exercising or strenuous work. I wear the (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Calvin-Klein-Men-s-Underwear-Air-FX-Micro-Boxer-Briefs-Black-Medium/dp/B00PVEQPYA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Calvin Klein Men's Underwear Air FX Micro Boxer Briefs, Black, Medium</a>) when I exercise and they are the best. I wear these for casual every day stuff.

They are a pain to put on like most underwear, but stay put for the most part and feel so soft on the skin. They do pill up like most cotton underwear, but I have (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Remington-Fuzz-Away-Fabric-Shaver-RTFS-2/dp/B0034BV6KA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Remington Fuzz-Away Fabric Shaver, RTFS-2</a>) to rid the pills and make them super smooth again. Only takes a few minutes and I use the fabric shaver for just about everything cotton.

The fit is good. I have a 32" waste and the mediums fit me pretty snug. I always buy the black. I love the other colors, but the basic black do me just fine. I wash them in super hot water on the genital cycle and they only fade a little over their life span which is about 2 years. So, I would say I wear them about 100 times before either the waste band separates or the fabric rips. However, I can say this - they stay nice for about 90% of their life span. which is why I buy them again and again.

All in all, they are a great buy. They do tend to cost a pretty penny, but compared to other brands - they are cost effective. I simply will not wear anything else.
