Boys underwear is not too exciting of a subject. These do the job. Generally I prefer the colored ones (and do we really need to go there with the why I prefer that? I have a 11 year old). These don't overstretch in the washer/dryer and do seem to run true to size. I haven't had any complaints. Guess that's a pretty good recommendation. I deducted one star because these don't stay as soft when washed as some others we've tried and they say they are soft so I hold them to a bit higher standard than normal.
