MY PAST EXPERIENCE Previously, I had tried an older iteration of Under Armour's performance mesh boxerjocks, and they ended up being the most comfortable thing I had ever worn. Being quite active, I was fed up with the poor durability, mobility, and comfort provided by casual budget underwear options, so I decided I needed to change to something more performant. Finding some leads on the web that pointed me to Under Armour's mesh boxerjocks, I footed the above average price tag, and, boy, was it worth it. The boxerjocks had a nice grip that I rightly knew would stand the test of time and not become too loose and worn with use. The material was so comfortable that it felt surreal in comparison to other casual pairs I had. The only issue was that the stitching on the crotch had left a few approximately millimeter-sized holes, and there were some dangling threads that I cut off so they wouldn't get pulled. Some pairs had it worse than others, and I believe I had to trash at least one of 9 pairs. This left me slightly upset and concerned for the others, considering they were brand new and I saw blantant quality-control issues, but fast-forward to about 5 years later, they all held up! The milimeter-sized holes had only slightly gotten more frayed despite my high activity life and me going a whole size up! I must add that I took an additional precaution of PREDOMINANTLY ONLY ever air-drying these boxerjocks to ensure their longevity. MY CURRENT EXPERIENCE Now, having gone from medium to large, I needed new boxerjocks, and I knew which brand I trusted. Yet, I saw they had some cotton performance boxerjocks and had to try those in addition to the new mesh boxerjocks. The design is identical to the latest mesh boxerjocks, but these fit looser and are definitely more comfortable. Now, I would guess they aren't as durable or breathable, but the comfort is superb! Considering how durable the mesh boxerjocks have proven, even if these are slightly less durable. I would have no doubt they would hold up, and the looser fit likely accommodates for this. So, I would advise, if you want maximum comfort, go for cotton, but for durability and longevity, go for mesh.
