I would note up-front that, while normally a Large, these were a touch too small and uncomfortable, so I returned and swapped for XL, and these serve as a *slightly* looser pair than my normal fodder (detailed within). I'm ~36-38" waist with 'good sized' thighs and the light podge of a once-active 34 y/o who enjoys Haribo.Yesterday I went for a ~1 hour, ~13 mile cycle in them and not once did I have to rearrange my junk or pull-down the legs. Today, I took a four hour walk to, around and from town. It was the same story.

My meat-and-two have been thoroughly unirritated by bunching today/yesterday, and here's zero discomfort betwixt my thighs. Neither do I feel uncomfortably damp after my outing today and even yesterday after my cycle I felt happy to chore without changing.Finally, there's the girlfriend: she *thoroughly* approves of both the aesthetics and the feel, and both encouraged and assisted in a replacement of my top draw. These are not your typical cotton blend, but a softer, lighter, smoother material. Very pleasant.I cannot comment on how long they last, having only just bought them, and having no experience in the anti-chaffe material betwixt ones thighs where I usually wear through my undies. If I get six months out of the items that will now fill my drawer then, on sale, these will cost about the same as my OTA subscription boxers and have wildly out-performed them. If they last longer, I'll be very happy. If they last less, ... it'll depends how much more quickly they wear out I guess. At £20 a pair though, I'd want them to last at least a year, if not two. Time will tell...

Absolutely LOVE Step One undies. SUPER comfortable, durable, great colors and designs, look great. I now have about 18 pair, and slowly replacing my entire wardrobe of undies with Step One. I am a guy after all, so I keep underwear until they are so threadbare they could pass for fishnet. So far none of that happening with Step One. Even my oldest pair (about a year old now) still look as good as the day they arrived. And the best part...the pouch in front takes GREAT care of the boys! The ONLY downside of Step One is they are spendy. But watch for discounts and deals, they offer them frequently. And as I previously mentioned, I'll have these for literally years. So the investment is tiny when you factor in the usefullness. Just tough for a cheapskate like me to get ... MoreAbsolutely LOVE Step One undies.

Sizes run VERY small. They recommend a size up, my underwear arrived, I was excited to try them on after their powerful marketing message which makes you feel like they have an amazing product. The boxers fit like children’s underwear, I normally wear a medium, I ordered large, the smallest size that would fit is a XXL. I contacted them for a refund and they refused. It’s not my fault that they have no idea what they’re doing and cannot provide customers proper sizing instructions or a proper sizing chart. Quality of the material and design is extremely ordinary, there is no difference from any other boxer on the market. I typically wear Calvin Klein boxer briefs. Their email support team sucks to say the least, I offered them peace if they just gave me my money ... MoreSizes run VERY small.

This clear let’s you know they don’t care about clients or client retention, they know the product is crap and know you won’t buy again. The only thing good about this brand is the marketing team. Just another new company trying to sell innovation but in reality is offering a scam. Learned my lesson. Disputing the charges with my credit card company regardless, they’re not very bright over at step one.Update: I don’t care about your policy, I don’t care about anything that you have to say except here is your full refund because we misled you into purchasing a product 3 sizes too small. I can’t do anything with these micro size underwear except throw them in the trash but I am not going to be held responsible because of your incompetence. Issue a full refund, I am in the process of opening a case with the state of Florida as after further reading reviews, there are TONS of complaints saying the same thing, your sizing is WAY off, you then don’t offer refunds. You are misleading the people and ripping them off. You reached the wrong person to mess with today.

Okay, so I bought 7 pairs during the Black Friday sale. Best prices of the year. I already had maybe 4 pairs. Here's why I only give StepOne a 3/5. First, I love bamboo. Changed to bamboo bedding a few years ago and love it. Bamboo cloth products are not only sustainable but also soooo soft and comfy. So these boxers get a 5 on the comfy scale.Now, my first pair I ever bought was a Medium, which is what I wear for all other boxers and boxer brief brands. As StepOne notes, theirs do run small. The Medium I got was for sure too tight on my stocky man thighs — like a compression short. So, I moved up to the large that fit much more comfortably. The downside of the large is that the "pouch" and the "jewels" don't quite line up as well, so the benefits of the ball ... MoreOkay, so I bought 7 pairs during the Black Friday sale.

The downside of the large is that the "pouch" and the "jewels" don't quite line up as well, so the benefits of the ball pouch is lessened somewhat.While I love how comfy these are, which is why I bought a bunch of them, the main reason for the 3/5 is that despite StepOne's claims, these DO indeed ride up, a lot — just as much as any other boxer brief I've worn. I've given up on trying to find a brand that don't ride up. StepOne's ride up often — I'm constantly adjusting when I'm wearing any pant or short, especially if I'm doing any amount of walking. This was true of both the Medium and the Large sizes I've tried, although with the Large being slightly looser (they loosen up as the day progresses), the ride up is a bit more pronounced.I do love the variety of designs and color combos. They all look great on me — comfy, sexy, stylish, fun.

New fancy undies: great on a hanger, torture device on thighs. 2XL? More like 2XS. Rugby build (me) meets fashion sizing (not me). Advice for my athletically built mates: size up 2X or embrace the sausage casing look. For reference, I usually wear XL just fine... Update on Returns: The return process is convoluted. You'll have to take pictures of the product, the product label, and the bag the unopened pair resides in (assuming you didn't try them on either). You'll be paying the return shipping fees, as well. All in all, it's been a disappointing experience, and it'll just be easier to continue to buy off Amazon (and for the record I hate saying that).

This is a great product for plus size people who might suffer from tops of legs/thigh area rubbing together and chaffing to make 5he area very sore. This product eliminates that issue and I bekieve those areas are made of bamboo…the moisture around the testicles is catered for by a pats h cupped underNeath too…it makes walking a pleasant thing again. I used to be putting so much talc powder down there, everything was powder white…I got the,brief that was suitable for thicker legs cos when you gain weight, it goes on at the inside tops of thighs.I bought one pair and quickly bought three more. I am smiling again after having endured sores from chaffing…no more! Try one pair, get there 8dollar first time registration discount and so95# only 11 dollars…..they arrived ... MoreThis is a great product for plus size people who might suffer from tops of legs/thigh area rubbing together and chaffing to make 5he area very sore.

3 new pairs ripped in 3 months out of 10 pairs

Comfortable but ultimately not durable. Sometimes they have cool designs. I had a holiday over to Europe for 3 months took 10 brand new pairs. To be fair I did a lot of walking. However despite being brand new 3 pairs ripped near the seams always in the bamboo parts. They are not a hardy product. I think they would be much better if they gave up on the idea of bamboo and went for a traditional material like cotton which seems to be much hardier. Its a shame i want to like them but they represent very bad value for money i wouldn't have expected any of the pairs to break so easily but as stated i had 3. Otherwise I like the anti chafe feature, however the lycra panels do a good job at that tho they end up fraying a bit and they don't breathe so your privates get ... MoreComfortable but ultimately not durable.

I think they could be much better than they are if just swap bamboo for cotton, also they are already about 4 or 5 times the cost of bonds cotton underware which aren't shaped as nice and don't have an anti chafing feature, however bonds will last much longer as the cotton is much more durable.

Most comfortable undies I've ever had, terrible quality though.

I have been wearing step one undies (boxer briefs for my larger legs) since 2018. In that time I have marvelled at their comfort and fit. Consistently however, I am disappointed by the product quality. I think it has worsened over time - I can't remember it being as much of an issue in the early days but maybe I've got rose coloured glasses. It has become a running joke with my wife that my undies are a disposable item and that we should include them in our budget as a recurring cost. The straw that has broken for me to write this is my most recent purchase of 15 pairs (they are not cheap so I try and get the most bulk discount I can). One of the pairs had a hole at the bottom of the waist band after the first wear. Now on the third wear for that pair, the stitching ... MoreI have been wearing step one undies (boxer briefs for my larger legs) since 2018. In that time I have marvelled at their comfort and fit.

One of the pairs had a hole at the bottom of the waist band after the first wear. Now on the third wear for that pair, the stitching of the "ultraglyde" panels has come apart - this is the normal failure mode - turning a anti-chafe feature in to the "chafe-zone". I have suffered in silence previously, but breaking after 3 wears is too much and I have submitted a warranty claim. It's unacceptable. Looking back through my order history I am now up to 59 pairs of step-one undies since that first fateful order. All of them broken or soon to be broken. Just like my heart.

These only last 6 months

Yes, they are comfortable. Yes, they are grand at stopping chaffing. But sadly the quality stops there. Holes after 6 months on 3 of the 5 pairs bought, 4 out of the previous 5 pairs - thats 7 out of 10, which says poor quality.I emailed about 3 pairs, which I purchased, the others were gifts - was offered 1 replacement pair "as a gesture of goodwill" because they dont cover wear and tear etc. No accountability for quality of material supplied. At the price point, you would expect high quality, but this is not the case. Sadly, this can also be referenced in multiple other reviews. And just so I am clear - if this review had taken place before 6 months of owning them - it would have been 5 stars.
