Okay, so I finally tried these Hanes boxers after seeing mixed reviews. Here's my take:
First off, they're SOFT. Like, really soft. The fabric feels great against the skin, and they don't have that annoying sewn-in tag that scratches you all day. Major plus.
The fit is pretty good - not too tight, not too baggy. They stay comfortable even after wearing them all day, which is rare for me with other brands.
BUT... that weird button placement? What were they thinking? There's literally a button right in the crotch area that makes it look like you're wearing a bullseye down there. I ended up cutting mine off too.
Also, heads up - what you see in the pictures might not be what you get. My pack came with random colors instead of the black/grey I expected. Not a dealbreaker, but kinda annoying.
For the price though? Solid choice if you don't mind simple boxers without fancy features. Just maybe keep some scissors handy for that odd button situation.
