Separatec Mens Trunks Underwear with Dual Pouch, Soft Breathable Rayon Made from Bamboo Trunk Underwear for Men

I’d never found underwear I particularly liked and mostly put up with baggy boxers because all the other the form fitting styles I tried didn’t have a functioning fly and/or were just too confining. Then I became intrigued by this separate pouch idea, with some hesitation being from their more revealing nature. That hesitation went away the moment I slipped them on.Why I Love This Design:Artificial bulge wasn’t what I was seeking and was pleased with how well the raised inner seam and separate pouch tastefully accentuates size, shape and features, with an unexpected freedom of movement that doesn’t obviously add to the public silhouette.I wasn’t looking for athletic style support and was unsure of the boxer freedom I might be surrendering. What I found here was an unconfined feel of things being comfortably nestled in place in a way that especially draws me back every day.Spontaneous occasions was not an expected topic of review, but the difference of these is just too good to leave out. While some may object to the more confining nature of anything but boxers, it’s what these do to manage the occasion that really sets them apart. The upper pouch being separated from leg openings is a welcome contrast to boxers that can hang you up or single pouches that squeeze you in. Ample pouch stretchiness instead expands comfortably to maintain a least conspicuous relaxed position that virtually eliminates need for adjustment.Why Size Matters:What makes this design work as well as it can begins with the convex lower pouch that’s placed slightly above the body-hugging inseam to gently lift and pleasantly cradle things away from the legs. Next, everything is separated for a complimenting look and a freedom of movement not typically found with body hugging styles. The separate outer pouch fly acts more like a hood that’s easily slipped into and easily accessed by lifting the fabric end. All of this is then brought together with a proper match of their size to yours.Once size can’t fit all with most any pouch design. That’s because brands use the same pouch size across all waist sizes. While this works well for a fit within the lower pouch, accommodating the varied sizes inside the upper pouch becomes relative to how tightly or how loosely it's pulled against the body. Some snugness is always needed against the abdomen, rear and around the legs to avoid ride-up and wedging, and to keep everything in place. Too much snugness can cause cumbersome access and even squeeze you out of the fly, particularly when sitting down. Too loose compromises the form flattering upper pouch look, can get things lost fumbling through excess fabric and even allow things to fall through the lower pouch leg opening.To restate what the manufacturer mentions, the size out-of-the-box should fit well for those midway in a size range, with a near average build and a near average relaxed length. For others, the fabric and waistband is stretchy enough to comfortably choose one waist size difference to accommodate a larger or smaller build and/or length. With my slender frame, in-between size 31” waist and average length, this meant that mediums I’d always worn in other styles are a bit loose and I instead need a smaller size. If particularly endowed, I’d have stayed with the mediums for the looser pouch. A larger build/relaxed length would have called for a size up – and so on.David Archy vs Separatec:Trying each product confirmed most all reviewer finds that the only difference between the two is the fabric. For me, the Separatec bamboo fabric feels silkier and does bring forward more of a form-fitting look while my David Archy modal fabric preference feels fuller with more flowing look.Final Thoughts:I did find that some brands don’t fit no matter what. The more revealing and higher lift inseam of one particular brand looks to bring the most freedom of any single pouch design, albeit with perhaps some spontaneous time hampering. Full-time vertical placement designs are interesting, though may require a greater than average length to work at all and do look to be the most outwardly visible.Comfortably fitting a guy's every size is what this design does best. To that end, all should function well with a waist size snugness where a fully relaxed length comfortably fills the pouch in the range of just grazing the end to about half an inch of fabric excess.Lastly, my never having a problem being accidentally seen uncovered in tapered boxers needed some rethinking. Thoughts varied from the message a more revealing display might send to whether I wanted to engage in conversations about underwear. What I settled on was either brand probably being okay for the locker room and the Seperatic as the better choice to avoid during sister-in-law visits.I hope you found this review helpful.

First and foremost, if you're the type to walk around your house in boxers, know that you will not be on Full Display!The boxers took about 2-3 days of getting used to. I figured I'd constantly feel the hole of the pouch throughout the day, but honestly once I had the boxers on I didn't even notice it even when I tried. When wearing, it basically feels like you're not wearing anything beneath your pants while at the same time getting support and marginally lifting your stuff just off of your leg. Additionally the fabric is thin enough to allow your skin beneath to breath very very well. Regardless of size, the pouch is VERY stretchy and quite comfortable about it.The bulge's obviousness will vary based on how thick or heavy the pants are. Barely anything can be noticed with jeans, but with lighter pants it becomes more obvious. When wearing just the boxers, this is even more noticeable due to the short legs.The fly is functional, but you'll have to re-teach yourself to use this style. It is strange at first, but again, after 2 or 3 days you'll figure it out and won't have to think about it. The "fun" comes when you decide to switch back to normal boxers with a fly.For those wondering the boxers are still comfy if you decide not to use the pouch. That is also to say that if you happen to fall out of the pouch, the boxers will still be comfy to wear. Falling out can occur if you attempt to pull the legs of the boxers down and inadvertently pull them down too far. You'll definitely need a trip to the bathroom or other private space to re-fill the pouch.In short, the learning curve is short and wearing them is surprisingly far more comfortable than I'd ever imagine. And while I definitely would not wear them with gym shorts or dress pants, I do think they can be quite comfy in other aspects of my life.

...makes Separatec. Exact same pattern. Material/fabric is the same, too.This style is great for base-ballers that need relief from chafing. Keeping your parts properly packaged is what this style is all about, while preserving ease of access and convenience.If you are a thinner build without junk in your trunk, the center panel can be removed, the new edges joined, and the fit is dramatically improved. A 5min fix at a machine, or a $3 alteration. I tried ordering a size smaller, but the pouch is relative and that made for a no-fit-fail.The front panel is made to accommodate guys who dress pointing up or down; plenty of room either way, while also allowing dress-left or dress-right. The fabric is very soft without feeling like polyester plastic. Comfy for foreskin; with or without. Xtra-Juicy guys will appreciate the absorbent flap that cradles the glans, still gives latitude when relocation to fresh fabric is necessary, and keeps willy from flying loose and banging his head against your zipper, et al.All-in-all these are great garments. Worth a try.

I gave 5 stars because it's still a great product and gives you extra freedom with "special" space. But for me, it took a while until I got used to the extra pocket. Actually never got used to it. So I don't intend to buy more. I end up using my other traditional boxer briefs and just use these once in a while when I want to feel "special".
