These were “originally” like $25 a pair?!?! For that price my junk best look 1000 times better OUT than in!! (Well, who am I kidding, I’d take it either way)!!!
“Modal” is a fancy word for rayon, aka plastic. It’s made from wood pulp (aka cellulose), and it is as “natural” as the rayon in those “bamboo” sheets and pillows.
What is a quick-release fly¿? Well, anyway, at least it has a fly! I just bought 6 boxer briefs with No fly, but i have some scissors, ✂ so i can make a fly!!
@1DisabledWarVet it looks like you just… dump your ish out over the top of the fly, instead of a regular sideways fly?? doesn’t seem very comfortable on first inspection, balls-wise
@customers Somehow I had “Cotton Modal” in our title upon launch – these briefs are 95% Micro Modal / 5% Elastane. Feel free to cancel if you need, but I think you’ll be pleased with the quality & feel!
The size chart is different on the provided link for the other seller: https://magidnyc.com/products/good-briefs-admiral Your’s says large is 36-38, this says large is 32-34, big difference. Which to believe?
Been wearing a different brand of similar underwear for years, 92 modal, 8% elastane, no fly. Don’t miss the fly at all, it seems weird underwear even have them.
@dannybolinski@kittykat9180
For most pants (stretchy underwear is less critical), 33" waist is just right for me: 32 is too snug and 34 is too loose. Unfortunately, lots of manufacturers don’t offer odd sizes. Also, the random sizing of clothes made in third world sweatshops adds another challenge to finding a good fit.

(But I’m a scrawny old geezer. )
I have nothing to say about these boxer briefs. They’re not my jam.
OTOH, I’m 100% behind the write-up.
For over 15 years I used the same leather upper, white, house-brand tennis shoes I bought at Walmart for work. At that time our uniform standards called for white shoes. They were comfortable, the requisite white, all leather, and lasted me about 2 years before I would poke my toe through the top front of them (at which point they would become “yard shoes” for when I mowed etc). I could walk into my local Walmart, stroll back to the shoe department, grab a box with my size off the shelf, check out (about $20), and be back in the parking lot in less than 10 minutes. It was wonderful.
Suddenly about 12 years ago they decided to stop making the damn things. Man, I missed those shoes! I sorely wished I’d had the foresight to buy two or three pairs in advance before they discontinued them.
@chienfou I agree . If I really like something, I’ve taken to buying multiples of it. Kohl’s has some sleep shirts made of a cotton
modal spandex blend that’s incredibly comfortable & washes well. Every time they’ve had a sale I’ve bought more. I might have enough to last me the rest of my life now!
Are these individually packaged, so if I don’t like them I can donate the nine pair I didn’t try on? Some places won’t accept a donation of underwear that isn’t sealed in a “new” package.
This math ain’t mathin’. Check out the size chart on the Magic comparison link. XL is 34-36”??? Not according Meh, which for once has logic on its side.
If the description is correct, Micro Model is rayon, not quite as good as cotton, but better than plastic. I say no to plastic underwear. But I wouldn’t buy these either. Got to be cotton.
I hope these are as good as the Comfort Republic brand that Meh used to sell. Those were the best undies I’ve ever had on my body, and they are out of business and impossible to find now.
Glad I stocked up on the Comfort Republic when I had the chance. I see in an earlier post that they are no more. Nothing against these aside from the fact that they don’t have the range of sizes that CR had.
@Boiler3k These actually do have the same overall 28"-46" size range, but missing some in-between sizing. If in need of 38"-40" for example, go with the 40" to 42". Both the L and XXL fit well for me – the elastic is pretty forgiving but also not too loose.
Can someone explain to me what exactly the function is of the “functional pouch”? Trying to avoid anything that could cause me discomfort in either the front or back of me.
While I’m not a vision of fitness, I am pretty active and have been known to go on massive hikes and work out regularly. These are great. Just as comfy as the ones I bought before to go on overnight backpacking trips for much more dinero. Since I got 10 of the bastards, they will be my everyday panties. I did buy the XXL that fit perfectly, as a 250 pound 6 foot guy…so if you are more than a lardass than me, they might not fit.
Bought this deal. They are individually packaged and the UP logo is embroidered (real embroidery!) so you can tell they were marketed as premium. Silky, breathable and comfy. Sizing on my size large was perfect. Very, thin, very stretchy material. Not as thin as women’s pantyhose, but getting there! However, they do not use a double layer in the crotch area like most thin undies of this sort do. I may need to wear two pair at a time to avoid drip-drops of wee-wee from my pee-pee getting through to my pants-pants. I’m also thinking, if only they had lined that horizontal fly, it would make for a great hidden phone pocket. Finally, is UP an inside Joke? (You Pee? Get it?)

@bigjl98
$25 a pair. That’s like women’s underwear prices.
“Modal” is a fancy word for rayon, aka plastic. It’s made from wood pulp (aka cellulose), and it is as “natural” as the rayon in those “bamboo” sheets and pillows.
@mike808 modal/rayon/viscose may not be “natural” but it’s not plastic. Nylon or polyester is plastic. So is elastane, but it’s only 5% in this.
just imo but the modal underwear I have is great (not this brand, no idea about these pairs specifically)
@eightyd @mike808
An interesting distinction. Wiki calls it a semi-synthetic, with the cellulose coming from plants - hence the ‘natural’ claims.
But I still don’t want them.

@1DisabledWarVet @fuddledumpers it’s the same fly style as Tommy Johns boxer briefs that have been sold here before.
@1DisabledWarVet Pro tip: don’t attempt to make the fly while wearing the underwear.

Because I did not like those.

The sizing chart on the magid site shows asian sizing
. XL shows a 34-36 in waist.
@dannybolinski
For most American men XL would be the minimum. I think I know one man whose waist is smaller than 34”.

Check your pouches, boys. First one I grabbed was not sewn properly. I checked two more and they were fine.
