I usually buy the light weight thin banned thin strapped bikini underwear from Wally world, but cannot find there anymore. I like light weight. Thin material. Light weight bands for the waist. This set of 5 fits the bill. I was afraid to order underwear sight unseen, especially online, but for me this was what I hoped for. Since I usually look for this same material as in the wally world thin narrow strapped bikini underwear, going to a more full cut I was a little worried they might look like women's underwear. Not so. They are cut to look "manly", perfectly acceptable as mens underwear, that they are. If the guys in the gym catch a glimpse of you wearing these, not to worry. They look perfectly like mens underwear, which they are. The material actually looks thicker than they are, so appearance gives a manly look. Sizes are very accurate. Sometimes mens underwear of this type run on the small size. An XL might fit too snug. Again... not to worry with these. The fit is very accurate. If you usually wear a large in other brands, get the large with these. They will fit correctly to what you are use to wearing size wise. While I still prefer the narrow side straps bikini underwear, these fuller cut underwear, the set of 5, is totally fine and acceptable. Mainly because the material is still same light weight and the bands are also light weight, not the tight strapping bands like so many other kinds in this category. A good buy for the quality, fit, pack of 5, and price. A real mans underwear for men that want something light weight. And they look good. You could probably use these as swim wear, but the thin-ness of the material might not be a good idea after getting wet. You wouldn't want to be arrested. Or attacked by the women on the beach....? Well... for sure not arrested.
