Side by Side Comparison of: Fruit of the Loom vs Crazy Cool

Bought these for my 15 year old nephew we took in. He had a few white briefs that were fruit of the Loom Boys XL and were holy, and boxer shorts that were same size. We bought him Men's small, but almost same size as the largest boys briefs. Medium was perfect for his slim build. Perfect underwear for a young boy. Also I can bleach them which is nice, so any bedwetting incident, and we can get the urine smell out. I will say as a young teen boy, he would rather have boxers, like most young boys his age. But we have explained to him, that he will be wearing these until he can keep them clean and had to take boxers away due to cleanliness. He does not like the stigma of tighty whities, but has admitted they are comfortable. Thanks Amazon and fruit of the Loom!

I bought the Fruit of the Loom 7-pack of briefs for my husband, who has been using these and another name brand for many years. He had just gone through a pack of the others when he started using the Fruit of the Loom briefs, and decided that the Fruit of the Loom fit better in the leg. Their quality is good, and their low cost makes the purchase through Amazon a good deal. These briefs washed and dried well, with no resulting shrinkage. They are 100% cotton and are tagless, so wear comfortably. My husband is 5' 10", weighs approximately 220 lbs. (with excess stomach weight). He usually wears size 38 waist relaxed-fit jeans, size large in elastic weight shorts, and wears size large in these Fruit of the Loom briefs.

yes, I wear these everyday. get your mind out of the gutter and stop trying to picture me in my undies. everyone wears underwear, I just happen to look really good in mine. there, I said it.reminds me of a joke.an old man goes the doctor and the doctor says, "we are going to need a blood, urine and stool sample." to which the old man replies, "here, take my underwear."I hope that never happens to me :(

Several years ago I ordered Fruit of the Loom and Hanes underwear. I thought that the Hanes would hold up better because the fabric is thicker and heavier, but the Fruit of the Loom outperformed the Hanes, so I re-ordered Hanes.

Well the husband and son loved them, they weren't for me thankfully, I like my undies with color. I got these at a great price (lightning deal) and around this time of year, everyone is getting ready for school clothes, and its madness to get a couple of packages without the stores being out of the size we need. So far, they fit as they as always, wish I can say that for women's underwear that Fruit of the Loom makes, hint. Still love that I can count on delivered to my door in a couple of days. Will continue to buy these via Amazon. :)

These are the tighty whities that all others aspire too...comfy, inexpensive and fit perfectly...long lasting and no tag to mess you up...the elastic lasts for yrs too...youre not gonna be doin any chipindale action wearing theres but excellent for everyday use...get a little discolored? just toss em out and buy a new set...though they used to be under six bucks for nine, they're still a terrific value and highly recommended

Excellent briefs, first time trying spandex. I was pleasantly surprised to find the fit and comfort to be so good. Everyone stays on the dance floor, with no one trying to sneak out. The colors are excellent and the variety is outstanding. After my first set, I purchased two more. There are so comfortable, you forget your are wearing them. The lack of a fly does not great any problems. I have donated all of my old movies to the men's homeless shelter.

I was surprised with how well these fit given the 'one size' thing, but these are incredibly comfortable and breathable. I also don't have a problem with these wadding up and rubbing throughout the day, which is a problem I've had with other boxer/boxer brief underwear. They do still roll up, which seems to be unavoidable, but since they're a thinner material it just doesn't seem to bother me like the other ones do!Also the designs are just great, it's not like most people are going to see them but personally I like having some colorful options!

The price and comfort are perfect. I usually only buy designer undies like Calvins, Hilfigers and Diesel but these are way comfoer and cheaper! Seriously the best boxers I've bought. Have that under armor feel, don't ride up, and keep the area dry and odorless! Nobody wants a stinky butt and to continue to adjust because of riding up.

Soft and comfy. Fit well and comfortable right from new. Normally I have to was new underwear before it feels soft and comfortable. Not these. I was a tad worried about the waist band sliding down or not holding position but these things stay where they are. Slick. I even like the lions head and Knocker logo on the front of the waist band

Im a medium sized guy with a 32" waist and big legs, these fit perfectly. the best value I found on Amazon as far as cost per pair. they are well made and comfortable. I cant imagine they'd fit really big guys comfortably but large medium and small guys they should be fine. they are comfy and hold things together without squishing things. I would recommend and I would buy again

Order on Aug 8th, got it on Aug 11th around noon. It came it a lot faster then expected. The earliest delivery date was supposed to be Aug.15th. For the price with free shipping, you can't complain. They do look small at first, but they are really stretchy. I believe it'll be great for sports or when you're sweating a lot. They do fit fine though. If someone is complaining over $12 bucks for 6 pairs of undergarment, get over it. They are decent for the price

Wore this brand for years. A couple years back, package came with note that FotL had 'adjusted' their sizes to be more correct. Guess they were wrong for the previous 20 years?? The size that I'd worn no longer fit. Looked nearly like a child's size next to a previous pair. Leg openings were much smaller and just overall, downsized. But always liked the brand. So started a search for the current right size. Well, that ended up being a 3x. So be aware that they have changed their sizing and you may have to try some different sizes to get a fit you like. Also, doesn't say anywhere in the description, but these would be considered high rise style, rather than a lower riding brief. So far the construction seems good and the leg bindings have not torn. That was a problem with other brands I've tried.

These are good for briefs, I think. I took them on a 2 week trip to Asia and I was able to minimize their bulk in a very small carry on suitcase. As a matter of personal preference, I prefer boxers but for this trip I needed to pack items with the lowest possible bulk and these worked well for that.

At a little over a dollar per pair, it was certainly worth a try. I was pleasantly surprised at the weight of the fabric. It's pretty substantial. They run a little on the small side, so if you are at the upper end of the size range, order the next larger size.

What can you say about your typical Fruit of the Loom "brief" shorts? They are great for anyone who prefers boxers to briefs, and also quite lightweight, which adds to the comfort. I give them 4 stars because there are lots of better briefs, but expect to pay more for them. These are the happy medium - a balance of price and quality.

Indeed, what CAN you or I or anyone say about Fruit of the Loom tighty-whitey's that hasn't already been said before? They're well made, hold their shape and fit as expected. That's about it. I bought the pack under review here for my son last summer to take to camp, and a year later they are holding up well. No holes, no rips, no stretch, and he doesn't look like Karl Rove in a Depends. Personally, I prefer Polo, but for the price and the quality, FOTL rules.

I grew up wearing Fruit of the Loom briefs. After many years when I was out on my own I somehow switched to Hanes, Covington,etc...Fruit of the Loom wasn't as available as others. Can't buy what you don't see. Then I saw these on Amazon and thought ok! they got to be better than what I was used to by then. I bought them and I like them a lot. The fit was better, the sturdiness was better and the 'hand' (softness, contours?) was better. Since the price was good for what they were I bought them. No real regrets. The two differences since I was a kid is that a separate label is gone (it's print on the fabric now) and the colorful fruit picture is gone : ( These look more 'mature' and maybe that's helping their comeback. I like not having a label irritate my skin.

I'm a size 32 waist, and these are too big. The waist band comes up too high above my pants. I bought the "junior" size after buying these and they fit correctly. Unfortunately, they were on a separate listing and the choice was unknown at the time. I would recommend that these fit a size 36 and up. I have now purchased many sizes for my kids and I.Boys small for my 6 year oldBoys large for my 10 year old size 28 waistJunior for my size 32 waist.And the "one size" that are too big.Overall, we all like the feel and the light compression they offer. These are single layer throughout and are comfortable. Great first layer for all kinds of activities or for everyday. Great style and colors.

Surprisingly comfortable, but there is not much there. very light weight and great for hot weather. Was a bit worried about the one size fits all as I am very thin 5'11" 118lbs but fit my 28, 29 waist. For the price totally satisfied, I have yet to wash them so my opinion may change but at this point 6 for 15 bucks.

This underwear is amazing. Fast delivery and free shipping... great price. It fits really well with your body plus is very comfortable. I used this kind of underwear before (Nylon underwear) and it last for years. Really good for sports and and it dries very fast when its wet, really good for swimming. One last thing for this review, when you are sweating... it gets a little uncomfortable, it gives you the anxiety to keep fixing your areas where the underwear keeps bothering. Other than that is a great product plus the price is great.

36" and 5'9" I like them! Some folks said they're tight in the fly, I say they were at first; but not after I'd done a couple hundred squats, mountain climber type and some stretching. After some wear they aren't so clingly but remember I'm a perfect 36waist, 42 hip. I was happy to find shorts that hug my thigh, I've got that athletic cut on the leg and these show it off nicely, both the top and legs can be pulled up or down for a more revealing look, they are very sexy if you have the smile to go with it.

Very stretchy and comfy, but a little bit restrictive in the front. I usually wear a medium and they fit pretty well anyway. Cant vouch for any other sizes but they are really very stretchy and soft to the touch. I also think this material is a little hotter than the standard cotton and such. They also do not do a lot in terms of moisture wicking. If you need a close fit that wont show many lines, these would be great. The value is unbeatable really. I will note there are no holes for easy access at all.

They fit well, but they ride up more than other boxer briefs or compression shorts I've worn. So these have wound up being the ones I only wear if the others are all in the dirty laundry pile. It's probably that I have larger thighs/quads compared to my waist, but when the legs start to ride up, it's wedgie-city, and at that point it's more tempting to go commando than to wear these.

The briefs separate from the waist band after a few washings.They do not hold together.The price is good. The cloth is very light weight.I'm able to get about 10 washings, before they fall completely apart, if I wash using gentle cycle, mild detergent, and in cold water.I use a high-end tumble washer, so it is not the washers fault.I also dry on low temp - gentle cycle.

There are nice briefs but they run large. I bought the big mans briefs and they were huge. I ordered the same size in these regular briefs and they were a little too large.

Sizing seems inconsistent. Previous order came somewhat small, so this time I ordered one size larger and what was sent was almost two sizes larger. Will have to see how much these will shrink after laundering a few times.

Somewhat large in length and if as they were compared to the hands that I bought last time you could see the comparative difference in size. But I didn't buy them for myself because I'm a girl LOL I bought them for a homeless man Who is actually very picky

I don't think they are using the same quality material as they used to as these seem harsh rather than soft like they used to be. I don't wear them but I do wash them and this is my opinion.

"New sizing for an improved fit" on the package seems to mean much, much smaller. I ordered the same size as the previous time, but these are much, much smaller. (And I'm 15 pounds lighter!) Have I mentioned much, much smaller? They're OK. But much, much smaller.

They're comfortable to wear and not excessively tight, but the legs are looser than I wish they were. They ride up a bit. The lack of front pocket is a minor issue too. Doubt I'll buy again. Like the colors and patterns though.

These look great, but are a little thin..hopefully they will hold up.

I’ve been wearing regular cotton boxers for a long time. These don’t always offer the support I need, so a while ago I tried out more athletic oriented boxer briefs. Initially I got Champion brand cotton. These offered great support, but weren’t comfortable to wear all day. Mainly, they were too hot, the legs would ride up and the waistband would fold over. I found myself constantly adjusting all over. I stumbled across bamboo boxer briefs and this is the story of my journey to find a comfortable, affordable version.The Nylon Stretchable Compression Boxer Brief obviously aren’t Bamboo, but I was tempted to get these by the price and style. These are just a single layer of fabric and one size fits all. So the compression maybe relative to your size. I usually wear a 36” waist and for me, they don’t offer much support. I found that I like the kind with a pouch. It’s just more comfortable for me. Also, I’ve found that I like some waistband that’s not too wide, but offers more support that the rest of the underwear. These just double up on material at the top. They just roll up, but it’s not uncomfortable. You can see lose threads around where the color changes, but they've survived a couple of washes just fine.Because of these things though, they are not going into my regular daily use rotation. However, they are comfortable and I do like the style enough that I will keep them and wear them in more loungy situations.

These are very tight and stretchy. I am 6ft, 200lbs with thick thighs and they immediately ride up on the thighs, but are made of such a thin material that its not uncomfortable. These do not have a hole in the front, which makes it difficult to pee while wearing a belt. Although I recently learned that not all men use the front hole for that purpose...

I decided to try these because they are cheap. I bear this in mind as I write. The material is fine (a bit thick, really) but the absent fly can be annoying. The one-size-fits all approach means that if you normally wear a small, these are by no means compression boxer briefs, and are actually somewhat loose, which allows them to ride up. The black ones (and only the black ones) pill in the wash, which should tell you that these are not all cut the same way, which also explains the relatively small variations in size. Not worth $2 a pair considering the fit for a small.

I simply can't fathom why my husband waits until his briefs are holier than Swiss cheese before admitting he needs new ones, but this is how it occurs it every single time. This time I decided to take a gamble and buy something somewhat fashionable, since he doesn't have a discerning eye for style at all. Here is my evaluation after a few wears and washes:Pros*Skeptical about the one-size fits most at first, but they look like they fit perfectly on my husband who has a nicely shaped backside*The stripes and bold colors were an instant draw for me, and fortunately he likes them, too (or seems to)*I read some other negative reviews AFTER purchasing, but he assured me all "man parts" stay in place (after I grilled him in typical wife fashion), and either he's lying well, or he received an exceptional package of these briefs. If it is the case of perfect comfort like he claims, I'm wondering if this is due to him being around 5'9" in height*Reasonably good quality noted upon initial inspection and post-washing and not a bad consumer purchase at the time of this review*To review them properly, I've worn a couple of pairs myself to test them, and they are perfectly comfortable, but I don't have "equipment" needing arranging.*Appealing "boy short" type undies for women, and definitely comfortable for those with "lady bits"Cons*I'm fairly certain my husband isn't being honest about the comfort level, because he's worn them all a couple of times and they've been through the wash unscathed, but he's defaulted back to his old briefs. If he "loved" the new ones so much, he wouldn't resort back to his orphan-style, faded, worn-out elastic drawers and pass on the nice new ones. Either he just wants to look unattractive to me, or the new ones are NOT as comfortable as he claims. Logic dictates it's the comfort (or lack thereof)Because of the discrepancy between what my husband says and his actions, I'm concluding these are aesthetically appealing but not comfortable and functional for my man (I realize all men are built differently, so this might not be your experience, gentlemen). I'm not wasting money, because he's afraid I'll be angry if he fesses up that he actually hates the briefs (I wouldn't; I'd simply find something suitable), so I've decided to simply acquire them for myself and see how long it takes for him to even notice. By the time he gathers enough courage to man up and mention it, I imagine his current drawers will simply be rags hanging from the elastic waistband like a battle-worn Scottish kilt knock-off. Because he's absurdly acting like a toddler afraid of mommy, I'm laughing inwardly and waiting patiently and will enjoy my new boy shorts.

It's interesting that so many reviews complain that the Fruit of the Loom briefs are too small as I'm having the opposite problem. These supposedly Medium-sized briefs are approximately the same size as older FotL shorts I still have except for the crotches which are all one to one-and-a-half inches lower. They don't hold "things" in when wearing them alone and with pants on, the extra material bunches up uncomfortably.If I wanted boxers, I'd buy boxers.This isn't the only brand I've noticed this problem in either. I threw away most of a new pack of Hanes briefs for the same reason. Perhaps these will shrink in the wash and get better (the Hanes didn't).I don't know, maybe this is how hipsters like to wear underpants these days. Or it could be lack of quality control in El Salvador where they were made. As long as it's got at least two holes for legs, it's A-OK I guess...

The material is thinner and the sizing runs smaller, the waistband looks and feels different from what I usually buy locally. Quite disappointed. Will not order again.

Very thin material; concerned ; they may shrink. Will let you know after they have been washed. Too soon to give an honest rating./I can now give my honest opinion of this item. Orginally I indicated how thin the material was. They are not only thin but also shrunk after washing and my husband no longer can wear the item. Sorry but you get what you pay for. I should have stepped up in price I guess if I wanted something to hold up better than these. Sorry for the inconvience. How do I return these? They have been worn as well as washed. You can see for yourself . I ordered the XXL which he has always taken. Guess Fruit of the Loom isn't what I should have ordered.

Very cheap quality, very thin material, and sizing is too wrong. I wear an extra large, ordered a package of that size, they were too small and tight. Ordered a XXL thinking that if they were too small, they would probably be fine. Wrong.... they were way too large. Ordered Hanes and they are fine. Would not recommend these to anyone.

Ordered and were WAY too big. They were incredibly baggy but thought it my work. I was going to get some pants downstairs in my undies and they were so big they hooked onto my stair railing and ripped, giving me an atomic wedgie. Terrible briefs!!!

I've used these for years. Recently they changed their sizing basically one size smaller per the manufacturer's specs. Well, not exactly. One size would have been 2". We held the new 2XL up to the old 2XL and it like 2 sizes smaller. I measured the old ones and they were about 3" to 4" larger and also taller than the new ones. I am guessing the accountants convinced them to put 20% less cotton in each one by making them smaller. These would have worked when I was L or XL. Buy 1 size, maybe 2 larger than the old sizing. And, I've lost 15 - 20 lbs since we bought the set before. To think I was concerned I might need to drop one size - HA. These are labeled at 46-48" - guess what - they actually measured 35". The old ones measured 41".

Too big in the tummy and were higher waisted than I thought they would be. I wish it was longer in the back so that it would come down further than just under my butt. No real band at the top. Stretchy fabric that was thin and the colors were accurate. As a side note I found that the big stripes look much better off than on.

To begin with, I am a smaller sized person with a 28" waist 5'4" height. They are extremely stretchy, but in colder climates, they consistently tend to grab and pull the hair on my posterior. Also, the stitching at the anterior is not well compensating for male genitalia. I find that "myself" is often forced far down between my legs, which is uncomfortable. I have to alter my movement or form during regular daily actions to compensate. All of the fabric has the same consistency, so the bottom, crotch or cradle is just as elastic as the rest. In summary, wear loose front fitting pants and avoid climates under 30°F if you're buying this item.

Cheap quality. Had to throw them

These are the worst Boxer Brief's I have bought on amazon so far. Every time I try out a new brand just to see try something new.....These are the worst out of 8 different brands. No support, but dam do they look good. Will have to keep them around for valentines day like the top reviewer said.

These could easily fit someone who is very large. As I was looking for smaller form fitting boxers for a size 32 waist, these were way too big. Rip occurred on one after first day. Top rolls down and bunches up. I am not that impressed and will soon not have any of these.

I gave it two stars for the two testicles that I constantly have to rearrange. Knockers live up to their name, they constantly allow my balls to knock. These look awesome and aesthetically pleasing to my wife, but that's only last for about 60 seconds and then it's back to reality. If you're looking for underwear that serve a purpose, look elsewhere, but if you're trying to look like Justin Bieber when the lights are low and your groove is on, look no further!12 month update: You may ask what type of support these Knockers offer you, well let's just say that they gave me marital support. I think I can officially say Knockers saved my marriage. I came home last week, on Valentines Day, without a gift. What was I thinking? Great question. But right then it struck me, I've got 6 colorful underwear, that I've collectively worn twice in 12 months, sitting in my top drawer. Within 30 minutes I concocted an incredible story that ended with a lap dance for my wife in my red/black Knockers. I actually wore two because the ball support faded after a few months. Since that day our lives have been completely different. There's a twinkle in her eye that I haven't seen for over a decade. She even took out the trash yesterday. Knockers are one of those things you just can't put a price tag on. If you're in the market for something that "may" change your life or even possibly save your marriage, this could be it. Disclaimer - I am obviously just a customer so I can't guarantee anything above will happen for you, but put a pair on and pretend your Elon Musk and see what happens.

(Had to answer "How does this product fit?" before it'd let me type comment. Chose "as expected", though had not tried on.)I had ordered these thinking that, unlike Hanes, these would be free of an antibacterial chemical treatment, as there is not yet any indication of it in the above description or the photo. However, when they arrived, that Dow Chemical treatment was loudly, proudly proclaimed on the package.

My previous underwear was fruit of the loom 34" waist. Nowadays I've more like 33" so besides being old they were getting a bit loose.So I bought these as replacements. The new product being advertised as "Medium," for waist sizes 32" - 34".No.When they arrived I was a bit suspicious - they seemed very "trim." After the first wash that changed to "snug." after the 2nd wash, they are now officially "skimpy" The quality seems OK, so I'm going to return these and maybe buy "Large, or try another brand.

Horrible fit. Period. Apparently, moderators deleted my previous review, which included a couple of non-nudity pictures that show the way these briefs look (they can be stretched almost to the middle of one's back and chest)

WE ORDERED THESE IN SIZE LARGE. THE FIRST SHIPMENT WAS SO SMALL, THEY LOOKED LIKE SIZE SMALL. AMAZON WAS KIND ENOUGH TO REPLACE. THE REPLACEMENT CAME AND THESE LOOK LIKE SIZE SMALL AGAIN! WHAT IS GOING ON WITH FRUIT OF THE LOOM UNDERGARMENTS?

THESE ARE NOT "NORMAL" BRIEFS --I've got to admit that, at this price, I didn't put much consideration into the purchase. But I'm kind of amazed that I didn't see any reviews mentioning the cut/sizing of these briefs. I'm a pretty normally shaped guy, and have many pairs of "normal" tighty-whities from a multitude of different brands (jockey, haines, gap, banana republic, etc.). They all fit about the same. With a 35 waist, I fall near the border of a large and extra large.These, on the other hand, are enormous (Large is for waists 38-40) and feature what I would guess you might call a "high rise." What that means is the waistband needs to be up near my belly button in order to have the bottom in place. From top to bottom, the "seat" is as long as my thigh. They look ridiculous.I suppose that some much older gentlemen that wear their pants on their waist, not their hip, would appreciate this cut. That's all good; they need underwear too. But, unless that is your thing, look elsewhere.

pathetic, cheap, thin,.........low quality elastic and so thin you could read a book through them. I threw them in the trash. Total waste of money. Save your money. These are cheap oversea's low quality junk.........

First time I wore them, they seemed a little loose, not very supportive. I am a little skinny, so maybe I'm too small around for these. After washing two or three times, the material started to get rough and abrasive on the inside. Finally just threw the lot of them out,

For a 34" waist, they seem nice at first, but as soon as you start to walk around or sleep or put pants on, they crawl right up your junk and the waist side rolls over as well as under the leg (very uncomfortable when you can't unroll them under your clothing).

You get what you pay for. I am 32 weist and it was a bit loose on the hips. Washed it thinking it would fit it did not. Contacted customer service if I could possibly get a return, but they did not. I live in Phoenix and it was extremely hot wearing this product.

I said, "One size... Really?" And the reviews and questions said, "Sure! They're stretchy!" I said, "Well, okay. They're cheap! Maybe it'll all work out." It doesn't all work out, because what you're getting is a colored tube of panty hose which won't offer any support for your boys, rides up in odd places, and sneaks your tidbits out the bottom because, you guessed it, they're really stretchy. I'm a 32" waist.

So these are "stretchable" but they are NOT compression. I assumed by the title that they were compression but they are not. You just stretch these over you big booty but doesn't offer support like a true compression pair would. Don't buy these if you are looking for compression boxers!

These are essentially the same as panty hose, and there is ZERO compression. They are so stretchy they get bigger with body heat, ride up severely, provide no support for your parts. Not worth the money at all. Thankfully not expensive, not sure what use i'll get from them but it will not be from wearing them.
