I've had these  boxerbriefs for about 5 years and they still fit well, hold up and everything. Not sure why people are saying they fall apart or need a new pair after so long. These are made to last, comfortable and perfect to lounge around in. I don't have the new look wasitband, just these of course. So if you haven't gotten a pair, or uncertain of switching, try them out. You will NOT be disappointed.
