Calvin Klein, one of the big names of designer clothes and designer underwear. Expectations are always high when dealing with Calvin Klein products. Unfortunately, this one falls short.
Material are a blend of 89% cotton and 11% elastane (aka spandex). Ck’s website advertises a 90/10 blend. Perhaps the product has changed slightly since I purchased mine. With such a high percent of spandex, they don’t feel like traditional cotton underwear. They are very soft for sure, but don’t feel like cotton. They are advertised as being constructed with “nano technology for cool skin”, but unless this cool skin is a result of perfuse sweating, I wouldn’t buy into their claim. As with all spandex blends, these don’t breathe very well, leaving the wearer more prone to break out in a sweat.
The high spandex content makes for a great look, but for a terrible fit. The legs are way too tight. To the point of being uncomfortable. I can only assume they did this to prevent the legs from creeping up throughout the day, but it really just results in a terrible bunching under the pants that is difficult to adjust discreetly.
The waist is also on the tight side. The only redeeming factor is that at least they are low-rise.
You want support? Well, you got it. The contoured pouch will give you all the support you could ever want… and even the support you don’t. It’s a bit on the tight side, but even more irritating is a thick seam that runs through the middle of the pouch making prolonged wear uncomfortable.
Ride-up on these is mild, but still annoying. If you’re not adjusting your junk, you’ll be adjusting your seat. It’s really a no-win situation.
While this underwear looks great, it fails every aspect of comfort and functionality. If you value aesthetics over comfort and functionality, go for it! You’ll be the proud owner of the best looking piece of junk on the market.
