Bought these and a pair of the Underworks Cotton Long Boxers. Was hoping for some added support for my right side inguinal hernia. These helped out but not the most comfortable to wear due to the snugness around my thighs. Both pair I purchased are size large. I am 210lbs, 6'1" and wear a 34/34 pant size, athletic build. The long boxers are more comfortable and cooler but do not have the snug support of these compression boxers. I then got the bright idea why not pull these on over the long boxers and see what happens. WOW! Works great! I have the support I was hoping for and though initially seemed constricting once I adjusted no problems at all. The binding is actually mitigated by the long boxers. I can now stand longer, walk longer and mow the lawn without the nagging pull of my hernia. I ordered two more pairs of each for regular hygiene. Since these are worn over the long boxers I wash them only every other day. They are not inexpensive for sure. The long boxers are wearing as expected since they get washed more regularly. Probably need replacement more often. An added benefit the combo has a nice slimming effect. Regular cut jeans go right on.  Please do not take any of this review as medical advice. Everyone needs to make their own decisions within the options available to them.
