I needed better briefs with more "support" and good elasticity in the fabric. Tried a bunch of different brands and styles before settling on these. These are very well made in terms of the fabric, construction, and stitching. Hanes or Champion briefs costing a fraction of the price are not even close to this level of quality. They are comfortable because the fabric is soft and stretches with your body movements, and they support the "equipment" with a snug -but not too tight- fit.
