I've always been a boxer wearing guy but my dad bought some and I took one from him and I'm officially a brief's guy now. They are very comfortable you almost feel like you are not wearing anything. They are great if you work out I run and it provides great support when doing so. I haven't had that shrinkage problem that some are saying when washing and drying them. Maybe you guys are washing it in too hot water and drying in too high temperature.
