DAVID ARCHY Men's Underwear Modal Boxer Briefs Trunks Multi-Pack

First off, this is a positive review. I love this underwear, and you might also, but you should approach this relationship (and any relationship) with your eyes open. So here you go: The material is light and comfortable, breathes well, and the underwear is expertly made and fits appropriately. But that’s not why you’re considering them. You’re looking at that “separate pouches” business and the suggestive graphic (or graphic suggestion) and wondering if you are ready to introduce a slightly higher level of complexity into your underworld… You are. BUT I think there is such a thing as too much subtlety, and David Archy crosses the line in his instructive drawings, so I will be clearer. Only your shaft goes through the hole. Do not stuff the entirety of your junk through the hole. The collection will certainly pass, but there is only one pouch on the other side, and you will have defeated the purpose of this delightful article of clothing. The “separate pouches” in question consist of the usual underwear space (enhanced by differently colored fabric around your gandydancers but essentially what you would have with any underwear) and the aforementioned shaftibule on the other side of that hole. The shaftibule enables David Archy to work in a different fly system as well, but more on that later. Usually things work out just by pulling the underwear on. Your shaft is pointing down, the hole is coming up, and there you go, in like Flynn. At first, your frank and beans will call out to each other in alarm, but once reassured that each is still nearby and noticing that they are comfortably held in their respective atria they will settle down. NOW LOOK IN THE MIRROR BEFORE SHOWING ANYONE ELSE, because in all likelihood your days of prancing about the house in your underwear are over, especially if you have older kids. Normal size + shaftibule = HORSE JUNK. My spouse did a double take, gave me an approving nod, and then told me to put on my bathrobe. It’s nothing you won’t see on a Spanish beach, but just know that The Puppetshow is always playing. And frankly, the architecture presumes flaccidity, because, erect, there is nowhere to go but up, leaving you looking like a nocked bow and arrow with nothing to do but shout, “LOOSE!” as you leap upon your partner who will be helpless with laughter anyway. Getting back to the fly. David Archy has chosen a horizontal system that is basically a hood that you pull up and off to relieve yourself and down and over once done. It works really well, but this may be strangely evocative of pop culture archetypes depending on your personality and experience. In my case the first unhooding thought was, “You will bring Captain Solo and the Wookie to me.” This phrase was murmured several times to a variety of urinal stand-ins for Jabba the Hutt. But as the days wore on, I found more and more that I could only think of a scene where the kidnappers yank off the hood of the prisoner to reveal him tied to a chair in an empty warehouse with no help in sight. Especially with the black underwear. My vantage point put me in the shoes of the abductors, and I started to mutter appropriate kidnapping quips with each unhooding. Then I realized that I could be the rescuer just as well as the abductor and instead of shouting, “Western Dog!” or “Your father will pay handsomely for your release!” could say in a reassuring tone, “You’re safe now.” Which I think is easier for the other restroom patrons to hear. So run, don’t walk, to buy this underwear. It will become your new favorite while stimulating centers of your brain that have long lain dormant and enriching your inner life multiple times a day. That’s a pretty good deal.

I’ve been a fan of David Archy for a while, but my last multipack had a waistband that just felt a bit too restrictive and tight after a long day of moving around. Decided to give this version with the wider, softer 1.5-inch band a shot instead, and it completely fixed the issue. The difference is night and day. The band sits flat without digging in or rolling over, which makes a huge difference whether you're sitting at a desk, running errands, or just lounging around the house. The bamboo rayon fabric is exceptionally breathable and keeps everything cool and dry, even when the temperature climbs. They have just the right amount of stretch and a roomy contour that stays put without riding up. I can easily wear these all day and even sleep in them comfortably. Honestly, they’re good enough that I'm clearing out my drawer to make room for more and sticking exclusively to these from now on. Definitely worth the upgrade if you had issues with the older bands.

Great fit and feel. The whole separation pouch is nice, especially love the access flap. After sitting for awhile at my desk or laying on the couch you may "slip out" but that is to be expected I would think. Overall though they are as advertised. Fit nice, but I may go a size smaller next time for a snugger fit.

Good value and quality. Insanely comfortable. Arrived on a Tuesday and I threw away all my old "tighty whities" on Wednesday. Single pouch briefs are NOT capable of the fit and comfort of the dual pouch briefs. Peek-a-Boo flap for visiting the bathroom is amazing. I'm a 40 waist, ordered the XL per the fit chart after reading reviews about ordering one size down. Seriously think about getting the next size down. My second order was for one size down to L. To make XL fit to the best comfort, I rolled the waistband down two turns all the way around my waist. This hoists the pockets up so that it fits snug and secure weather siting standing bending over or active walking or driving a stick shift. Pants belt holds the double fold in place and comfort all day. Material is super soft stretchy and sheer thin (almost as thin as panty hose. Yeah I'm a guy and know about better and best panty hose. You make a living putting on wet cold Scuba diving wet suits and you too will wear panty hose, The wet suit slides on so fast). These briefs are as near to wearing nothing as you can get. Zero chafe or areas of sticking skin, a daily discomfort we are all used to as NORMAL. You won't realize how much of a difference it makes till you TRY A PAIR ON. I warn you its THAT GOOD. We all have had a pair of shoes that get uncomfortable after half a day of wear. Feels so good to kick them off right? Makes you wanna kick them to the trash can right? Once you have worn a pair of these for a day, putting on your old style briefs will be just like reaching for those ill fitting shoes for a second day in a row. Makes the wife turn and sneak a look EVERY CHANCE SHE GETS. Not the same old junk package. Been years since she went out of her way to give a "reach around" when no one was looking. Lighter weight slacks will have a Hollywood bulge that also gets attention when in mixed company. IF you pay attention, you will note the ladies taking a second glance to check you out. If you get a woody with these on, it's like being an embarrassed highschooler again (I'm in my 60's). That takes some getting used to! Enjoy the moment! My British pals tell me "That is serious Kit not to be squandered". Every guy deserves to try these at least once in a lifetime. Ignore the fringe benefits and just buy them for the fit. What the hell have you got to lose? By a pair on the QT and surprise the lady in your life. You won't be sorry. Machine wash n dry no bleach. Appear they will last a good while as they are well made.

First things first, the Amazon size chart may or may not be accurate for you. It seems like at the time of many previous reviews, it was accurate. When I made my order on 10/30/15, the chart looked just like your average US size chart, putting my 32 inch waist right in the Medium range of 32-34. But I sifted through the reviews and saw that I should order Small, so I did. And they fit perfectly. Both the box and the tag on the trunks say that they are US size S and both indicate that this translates to 32-34 inches (see photo). My recommendation is to order a size smaller (if you're L, get M, etc.) and ignore the Amazon size chart, which may be fixed or it may not. OK, so how are the trunks? Yes, trunks. They're not really boxer briefs, the inseam is maybe 2" below the end of the white ball-holder panel. Which is probably about 2" below the true anatomic inseam. So 4" of total inseam in a perfect condition. But with how soft and smooth the fabric is on these things, they won't sit in that perfect condition. The leg bottoms will ride up. With how short the trunks are and how smooth the fabric is, this is not avoidable unless they lined the leg opening with some rubber for grip (like some compression or cycling shorts do). But given the ingenuity and comfort of these trunks, I don't care that the legs ride up. Not really. It would be awesome if they also had them in an actual long boxer brief style, where the anatomy of thigh muscles could keep them from riding up. Well, they're awesome. The ingenuity of the concept alone is enough to buy a pack, just to see/feel in action. This no-name company just solved the biggest problem of male underwear in warm conditions: various parts sticking together. Even if, in the end, the trunks don't fit you right, feel weird in how they do what they do, whatever...I think it's worth paying $25.99 just to see and experience the elegance of the solution. In my case, they fit great. They do ride up, but trunk-style underwear generally do, since they end at the point of the thigh where the lower thigh muscles (quads and hams) are tapering to their respective heads, and so the 'slope' goes 'down' towards the actual vertical up direction, and so they defy gravity and slide up. I can live with that, but I would be very happy if they came out with a longer-leg boxer-brief version. The, er....mechanism of the whole thing is ingenious. I've already said that. But it really is. I'm kind of shocked it hasn't been done, ripped off, and cloned to the masses long before now. Having those parts of the anatomy separated takes a touch of getting used to...but when you do, it feels not like having layers of clothing between everything, but like being naked. Everything just seems to be able to swing where it wants to. One potential downside. I'm not sure yet. The pouch for the ball side of the equation, some have said it's too small. I don't think it's the size alone, but the shape and size tend to stack the boys vertically. In the natural state, one boy hangs out lower than the other in all men (pretty much all external-gonad-possessing mammals actually). Due to the shape of the 'pouch' formed by the white panel, this staggered hang is exaggerated, and the boys go a bit more vertical. It feels a bit weird. Maybe I'll get used to it. I've only been wearing the things for a day. I'll update this review if it bothers me after a few days have passed. So I guess if you can read this, this ended up being a non-issue. Stability. Well, ordinarily I'm always sneaking a quick 'adjust' down there. Even in what were previously my favorite boxer briefs. No need in these. Everything finds its place again after pretty much anything you do. One reason I never liked any of the 'anatomic pouch' style underwear I've tried is that, well, in my case, the required space changes a lot through the day. Probably more than most, and not in the generous direction. And when things come up to normal, those pouches always put the stuff exactly in the opposite place I would have chosen. But these trunks just kinda get me where I wanted to be. Yeah, five stars. Zero stars for creating and fostering a huge sizing confusion, maybe that'll get fixed. For now, follow the recommendation of ordering one size down (if you're XL, get L, etc.). I'm about to order two more packs right now. Based on how quickly they wear and how comfortable they are in the longer term, I plan on buying a five year supply and keeping it in a storage bin. Just in case the only underwear company that understands male anatomy goes out of business. Maybe one day I'll have to face the Elaine dilemma (Seinfeld, "The Sponge").

I only opened and wore one pair so I can only speak to that. I also mostly wear boxers that are size 38 in most brands. I ordered a large (40-42) since in seems items that are not of the normal clothing type seem to run small on me. These were still a little snug, but the material was soft and felt nice. The stitching seemed fine too. The breathable mesh area in the crotch is nice. I did think it was going to be more like a pouch to separate your testicles from other skin contact. However, it seems to be just a patch of mesh fabric.. There appears to be some semblance of a pocket, but I didn't fit. I may have been under the wrong impression and a pocket may have not been the intended design. Not a big deal really. I really like the idea of a hole your penis fits through to separate it from your body. The hole is roughly 2" in diameter. The fabric stretches some, but if you're larger than the hole you will feel it around your base. There is a flap of sorts that covers the hole and is sewn in a way that at the bottom it "cradles" the end of your penis. This is the problem area for me. The flap ends a few inches down from the hole and curves under. I'm sure this helps with drips and such after restroom breaks and what have you. I find it to be a bit constricting. We all know penis size changes depending on all sorts of conditions, even when flaccid. While standing/walking it wasn't too bad since you just kind of hang and lay in that area. My problem came from being seated in a vehicle or in a seat that angles your legs up to some degree. As my groin area pulled inward the fabric of the cradle area pushed in. At times this would somehow work my penis back through the hole. Once that happens it becomes very uncomfortable (Again, I wear boxers. Maybe brief wearers wouldn’t mind so much). No amount of subtle adjusting realigns things. You have to manually feed yourself back through the hole. To try and solve this issue I tried pulling the flap up and over the top some, but just moving would eventually bring it back to the cradling position. Not to mention pulling the flap up like that leaves you exposed to the inside of your pants. I considered trying a larger pair that might possibly hang like boxers, but I do not know if a larger pair would have more room in the problem area for me. I think if the flap area was extend a few inches, connected to the bottom somewhere instead of cradling, and added a side flap similar to boxers it would solve my issue. Other people may not experience this problem so this may be the perfect pair of underwear for them. I just don’t jive with the design sadly. Maybe I just need to look for separation boxers.

I have been using these for over 4 years and they fit great, feel great and wear well. They are still really comfortable and I love the front pouch - I can't buy underwear any other way now! I have since bought David Archy several more times and they are always great!

The quality is really good, but they fit a bit larger than expected. I bought them because they were heavily recommended for anyone dealing with a varicocele, but they didn't really help much with that issue. Maybe getting a size smaller would work better for support, but overall, they are top-notch in terms of quality and durability.

this is hands down the best underwear i have ever tried, moisture wicking, breathable, soft, stretchy, dual pouched, might take time to get used to but once you get used to it you can never go back to normal under wear

Very disappointed. The hole for the member is too high and the boy slips back to join your other bits. Uncomfortable

Se siente muy bien al tacto y son muy comodos

Good and comfortable very nice

Love these. So comfortable. I've had them for a while now and they have held up really well. No threads coming out, seams are solid.
