SeparatecMens Underwear with Pouch for balls Anti Chafing Underwear Men Athletic Sport Performance Long Boxer Briefs 3 Pack

First, for those of you who are deciding whether or not to purchase your first pairs of Separatec: strip down to your birthday suit, and look at your side profile in a full-length mirror. Don't do that at work or your in-laws' house, however. Look at your frank and beans - are they flat against your body? No, of course not. They protrude out, because that's how your body is made. So, why would you ever settle for any underwear that flattens frank and the beans up against your body? If that's what you've been settling for in the name of trying to save a few bucks, stop it today. Your significant other likely spends 5x more money on her undergarments than you do, so why should you feel guilty about spending a little more to make yourself more comfortable?I made the switch to single-pouch underwear just over a year ago, and it was a complete revelation. Suddenly, having to wear underwear was no longer a burden, an inconvenience, or a discomfort. It felt comfortable, and it felt natural. It truly struck a "new balance" in my life, if you'd like a hint as to my preferred single-pouch brand. Then along comes some random banner ad on a website, advertising Separatec brand products with revolutionary dual pouch technology. My brain said: "If one pouch is good, two is better, right?" My wallet said, "Pffft, a second pouch isn't worth that!" My wife said, "Sure, give it a try." As so often happens, my wife won out over my brain and my wallet, and I joined the Separatec fan club.The single pouch was great. The dual pouch is just as great, but there is a definite learning curve in terms of comfort and utility. As other reviewers have noted, it can feel like you're wearing nothing at all, which is a good thing. This next part cannot be overstated, particularly for someone who's been in a long term relationship for a long time like I have: frank and the beans have never looked better. They are very pronounced and well defined in their pouches, and it looks like the natural side-profile you see when you look at a side view in a mirror. My wife is a very big fan of the appearance, and it's paid substantial dividends in the bedroom. It's like the inverse effect of a woman wearing lingerie or a certain "victorious secret" brand of undergarments - the fire burns a little more brightly, and things get warmer as a result. Also worth pointing out - I have an ugly derrier, because, well, I'm a guy. But my wife thinks it looks great in this style as well, which I'd attribute to the spandex, and my recent aptitude to work out more frequenly. For those cheapskates like me... that's why you should pay extra for this brand - your wife / girlfriend / significant other will notice and be pleased with what they see.Back to the utility considerations: the post-urination return to home base is a whole new challenge. If you're wearing any pants or shorts with a zipper... good luck. While the end-of-the-tunnel fly is super handy when you're lounging around the house in shorts or just underwear, it's practically unusable (for me) when I have to thread it through a zippered area. So I resort to the standard "pull frank over the waistband" approach, which works fine until he has to go back into his pouch. And that doesn't happen without some effort. Perhaps I just need more practice, I'm not sure - but I can't find a natural way to do that process without cramming my other hand into my pants a la Al Bundy. That makes it difficult to pull off in a busy public bathroom. But 95% of the time in my life, I have a private bathroom (home and work), so it's usually not a concern for me.On the flip side, other reviewers have expressed concerns that the styling of Separatec's dual pouch techology makes their frank and beans noticable in whatever they wear on a daily basis. Well, unless you're wearing biker shorts all day every day, or your frank and beans are a bratwurst and brazilian nuts, I don't have a clue where that complaint comes from. I've worn these with dress pants, jeans, cargo shorts, basketball shorts, and running shorts, and I haven't noticed a thing. I've asked my wife to check as well, and she said if she really stares hard while I'm wearing running shorts, she can tell, barely. But all of the other pant/short types, she could not tell at all.Quick tip for the first-timers to Separatec: if you're on the border between sizes, go with the smaller. I am a 34 waist, and medium (32-34) fits fine, but large (36-38) was too big. Those are the standard sizes for men's underwear. I have always preferred large in other brands, mainly for the additional room for frank and the beans, but with the dual pouches, I have found that extra room isn't necessary.All that being said... This is the third style of Separatec boxer briefs I have tried, and it is not my favorite style (see last paragraph for more detail on the other styles I have tried). My biggest problem with this style - frank fancies himself an escape artist far too often, significantly more than the other two styles. For a basis of comparison, I'd approximate that I'm in the 70th percentile on length, middle of the pack on girth. The distance between the top of the waistband and the top of frank's entry portal (i.e., his individual pouch) is exactly 3", which is 3/8 - 1/2" less than the other two styles. Originally I thought that was going to be a good thing, because I felt like I had to hike the other two styles up more than I would prefer in order to discourage frank from escaping. However, the diameter of the frank pouch is only 2", which is 1/4 - 1/2" smaller than the other two styles. I also felt like the beans pouch was noticably more constrictive than the other two styles. I never noticed a problem with the beans pouch on the other two, but this one definitely afforded less room for the beans. Again, for perspective, best guess is I'm 70th percentile on beans size.I tried this style out in a variety of settings. The worst setting of all was a nearby theme park. Frank made an escape on nearly every ride, and it's not exactly convenient to coax him back into his pouch that frequently in a public setting. In retrospect, that's probably not the ideal setting to wear any dual pouch underwear in. But I cannot fathom trying to wear this style - or the other two styles, honestly - to work out. I will stick with the single pouch underwear for my workouts. The other days I tried this style, it seemed to do okay, but not as well as the other two styles. On a low contact day (think: standard day at the office), this style would probably work fine and only require a few "re-tucks," but the other two would only need one or two, tops. As much as I don't like having the waistband higher on the other two styles, I would prefer that to the regular "re-tucks" that I found this style required.My suggestions for Separatec, in case they see this? 1) In the product listings, include a photo that shows the dimensions from waistband to top of pouch, and for the pouch diameter as well. 2) Release a lower-waistband style with a pouch entry hole bigger than the 2" this style has. 3) I'm all about more lively color options. The red/gray/black combo I bought of this style looks good, especially the red stitching on the gray and black pairs. But give us some neon colors, something that will really catch the eye of our significant others!The first style I tried was High Tech Single-sided Moisture Transported Fast Dry - 45% cotton, 45% modal, 10% spandex. It's a good blend, but not my preferred - too much cotton means it wasn't fast enough to dry for me. The second one was Sport Quick Dry Performance - 77% polyamide, 23% spandex, same blend as this one, but different dimensions as detailed above. This one is my favorite thus far, and it just seemed to fit better. It wicked moisture more quickly. And frank was not nearly as deft of an escape artist as he was with the style under review here. Also, the second style (Sport Quick Dry) had side fly's, not just the end-of-the-tunnel fly. That made for a much easier post-urination return to home base.

Great looking, my wife loves them. The "trap door" design I find far more functional than the traditional double / verticle opening in underwear that I tend to get all tangled up in when in a hurry to urinate. They are pretty shear so I'll be curious as tohow long they will last. Great colors too.

Now the fabric is very stretchy and soft. The band is soft with no labels to contend with. This is where it is different. For those who value comfort and dryness these underwear are for you. When you get them you will see you have a pouch for your “sack” built in. When you put them on the pouch will be evident. This is where it becomes different. There is a circular hole and this is where you put your manhood through and a piece of cloth is pulled over it. That is the second pouch for total separation. They are comfortable but I do think it ran slightly hotter than cotton but kept me dry much better. Sizes run accurately and they did not shrink much. Colors did not run and it did well in the dryer.

I love these so much. I have about 9 pairs of these and they are perfect fit and really comfortable. I have no desire to go back to traditional boxers or boxer briefs again.

I tried these and had to buy more!....I replaced all of my boxers with Separatec now and I will never go back to any other brands. Most comfortable boxers I have ever owned. I like the extra wide waistband as well keeps the waist band from bending. Wearing these makes me feel like I am not wearing anything at all. So glad I can get these on Amazon now, because ordering them through Separatec took weeks to get them. Now I can get them within days from ordering which is awesome.

The underwear is good. They are soft and comfortable most of the time. There are plenty of raving reviews so I'll stick to my differences which don't mean you shouldn't try them as they are good underwear. There are other underwear just as comfortable and that have a top hole. These don't mop the floor with those brands so it's a value at that point and these are more expensive.The flap design leaves it kind of difficult to get urinal ready through your fly. Minor gripe as you eventually gain access. There's just so much extra fabric but it's that fabric which helps with morning wood being most comfortable so it's needed.The second sac "pouch" isn't big enough and doesn't separate from you legs as good as Saxx or other brands that use flaps to put material there between the thigh and sac. I wouldn't even call it a pouch but more like recess. It doesn't cradle all sides of the balls or keep from touching the leg. I love the thought but the function doesn't come through.I also don't care for the seam placement after long walks. It's a little tender afterwards. All my issues are fixable and I hope newer versions are better.

I really like this brand of underwear. I've thrown out all other brands in favour of Separatec. The comfort level is exceptional, you will barley know you have underwear on. The quality is high and they stretch too! I recommend this product.
