GildanPlatinum Men's Briefs

My husband has a flat tush! I bought these before in black and they really fit so well. So I got him some more but the original ones were no longer in stock, so I ordered these in the same size. Well, they were bigger. I washed them in hot water and they did shrink a little. They are OK but not the fit I wanted for him.

I needed some new underwear so I read the reviews on Amazon, like I usually do before I buy almost anything. This Gildan underwear was well-reviewed, and lower priced that many of the other options. Many years ago I had several different sets of underwear of several brands, and they all had problems too quickly, like falling apart (holes & tearing at the waistband), elastic waistband stretching, poor fit, etc. So, I did some research several years ago, and bought several better brands and have had fairly good luck with them for the past several years, but now those are starting to wear out. This time the Gildan seems to have some of the highest customer reviews, and seemed to be the best value, so I bought them. I have had them for about a month now, and have worn them almost exclusively (I still have some other styles and brands) – and have been very pleased overall with these. I’d say as good or better than any underwear I’ve had before.. If I could, I’d give them 4.5 stars, but since I can’t, I think they are closer to 5 stars than 4.A few caveats:1) They are definitely midrise. I think they are true midrise, they are not full briefs, and not low-cut / “hip huggers”…. If you are looking for full or mini – don’t buy these midrise2) They have moderately large steps between sizes, so if you are a “tweener” these may not fit as well as if you are in the middle of the size range. As several reviewers commented, we long for the “good old days” when they made underwear not by small/medium/large, but by 2 inch increments between waist sizes (i.e. 30”, 32”, 34”, 36” …)3) They are very white fabric, except the very black waistband. I don’t love it, but I can easily live with it.If you consider any of these show-stoppers, you might find another brand / style that doesn’t have these characteristics.Here are some things I like about them:• They seem to have very good build quality, and have held up well so far, in about a month of wear and washings.• They fit me well, not perfect, but a good fit – not too baggy anywhere, not too tight. I’m about a 34” waist (maybe 34.5” or so), and I got the large. I believe the medium would have been way to snug for me, IMO.• The fabric is a nice weight (neither too thin or too thick), seems durable, but yet is soft/flexible with a very nice feel – I guess maybe the “ringspun” does make a difference?• Elastic waistband seems to be very good quality, is comfortable, but also holds the briefs in place well. These aren’t “tagless”; however, they did a great job with the tag. The tag tag is smooth and soft, and covers the seam in the elastic waistband, so the tag actually improves comfort. I never notice the tag, or the seam the tag covers. Well done….Several reviewers complained about the adhesive on the tape in the packaging. When I pulled off the tape that was on the underwear, I noticed a small amount of adhesive that pulled off the tape and was stuck to the underwear. I did an extended wash & rinse cycle on the underwear before I wore them the first time, and have not noticed the adhesive on the underwear at all. So, for me, it was a tiny annoyance when I first unpackaged them, but absolutely no issue after that. They could probably pick some better tape, or other way to hold them together in the package….Based on my experience so far, I’d highly recommend these

Algodon,no pierde la forma esa marca la estuve buscando por tiempo hasta que lo encontre,a mi esposo le gusta por algodón fresco

These are really pretty good; fabric does not look or feel thin, they are soft, and at least I do not notice them when wearing them. All good things. Now they did come in a package that showed boxers, but had the product as shown in the review inside the package......so packaging was not right, but the product inside was what I wanted. I also did order Large, when I usually get Medium (32-34 waist), and asked my wife to wash them in warm water, noting others who said they shrink. That washing caused them to shrink a bit, and they now fit well. I liked them so much that I ordered 2 more packages of 6 pair because I did not want them to change their supplier and/or fabric before I could get some more. The only reason for not rating a solid 5 all the way across is that since I had to purchase Large, and shrink via washing; the cotton parts fit, but the waist does not fit as snugly as I am used to with other good fitting shorts.....that admittedly are no longer available. On balance, I will gladly take the right fit, with a less than optimal snug elastic setup. I purchased, like others, better known names in the last year and was disappointed in all of them, lowered quality and longevity as others have noted. So, I am now a Gildan fan, and hope they do not let me down as they get a bit older.

So I never thought I'd be reviewing underwear, but here we are. First off, just know they are great quality for the price. This review is after 1 year of use.After years of looking around, trying different brands, etc. I realized that brands are not consistent. Hanes briefs for example used to be my go to brand. Easy to buy large size 34-36 waist. But they changed the cut of the underwear, namely the butt area. It now was like a floppy cape dragging behind me. Yes, my wife would sometimes giggle when she saw me walking around in them. I also noticed many brands were now steading way from 100% cotton to either a Cotton / Polyester blend or an all polyester "cotton feel" and calling it "moisture wicking" or "cooling fabric". Well really what that amounts to is you are sitting in plastic all day with no real airflow, like a suana. And by the way "moisture wicking really means no moisture gets soaked into the fabric or escapes. So that means it all stays trapped in your crotchal region :-/ That was no good for me.So I tried another brand, Calvin Klein. They fit me great except for a couple things: 1) They were significantly more expensive than I was used to. 2) The waist band would fold over when I sat down and stay lie that when I stood up. No good.Enter these Gildan briefs. Good fit, perfect size waist band in my opinion, no fold overa. 100% cotton and great soft feeling fabric. Good air flow and comfortable fit. Elastic isn't pinching or too tight.f you live in a hot moist environment the elastic may wear out just like any other elastic would, but not any sooner. And a great price even compared to cheap store brands.I'll be a customer of this brand and style for years to come.

I've bought this product (in small size) but when purchased previously (in medium size), I did not have this problem. Problem: clear plastic tape, used to hold rolled underware together, left an extremely sticky, messy residue. There was no tape residue on the single flat packed (not rolled) underwear. Not sure how I'm going to fix it -- using $3 worth of Goo Gone, is not my idea of fun -- may be better just to pitch them in waste basket.

Non Standard Fitment Cut as compared to Original Gildan Briefs

I am completely disappointed about you handle in packaging the meant to be a good product. As one of your team uses a PLASTIC STICKY TAPE to neatly fit each inside one plastic bag. By doing this it leaves a nasty stain, a residue when you remove that PLASTIC STICKY TAPE to the fabric. It will be very hard to remove that stain and I believe it will stay there for the life of each of them. I washed one, and because the fabric is white it shows so bad. I Want A REFUND.😢🥲🥲🥲🥲

I have found these to be the most comfortable underwear, very well tailored and excellent styling.

Es bueno conocer otras marcas para reconocer lo que te gusta, en lo personal recomiendo la marca Amason essential
