I am back with another Boxer Brief from Unico. Notice a theme here! I have one more pair to review as well. I was hoping for some briefs too but this is an all boxer brief Unico review! I posted the last review and it was a glowing review. I am still surprised that I loved it as much as I did. This pair is a shorter boxer brief and a cotton/spandex blend. I have reviewed a few of these over the years and again like the last review, hope they hold up !
The pair I am reviewing is the Simplicidad Boxer. Which is a blue and yellow striped boxer. Its made out of a Cotton/Spandex blend. So when I put them on they didn’t feel as great as the (name). Which is not necessarily a bad thing. I was keeping an open mind. The color and the way they make the stripes form a v in the front is one of my favorite things. Unico always pays attention to these details.
I wore this pair to work and errands after work. It’s was going to be a little more intense then my previous reviews. The daily grind at the office wasn’t bad. I had no issues with the pair. It felt really good and the pouch gave me ample support. The true test was with the errands I ran. I had to go to a warehouse club, shop for shots and go to the grocery store. It may not sound too bad, not like running 5 miles or doing a 2-hour work out. A good pair of underwear will live up to daily wear with out issues. This pair held up well. While I didn’t like the cotton blend as much as the previous nylon blends, it held its shape quiet well.
The sizing is the exact same as the previous pair. Unico is a Colombian brand and they are always smaller then US sizes. This means you should always buy a pair up from your normal size. Unico will not stretch to fit you, if you get a size smaller. They are quite uncomfortable if you do. I made this mistake once and I will not make it again.
What I liked about the pair… I loved the stripes and the way they always create the V in the front to show off the pouch. It accents what you have and makes it look great. That is if that’s important to you. Next, is the great Unico pouch. They have never let me down on this one. They have designed and made a pouch that is designed for a guy. The waistband is another area I love. The Unico branded waistband with the U in front is a great touch. The things I didn’t like were the fabric, which is only a minor dislike. Had I not reviewed the other pair this would not be much of an issue. But I love more stretchy fabric such as nylon/spandex.
Pros:
- Fun stripes
- Great Unico pouch and stripe construction
- Designer waistband
Cons:
- Fabric is my only minor complaint
