These Athletic Briefs by Fantasy Lingerie are absolutely terrifying. I was so extremely disappointed, when I opened my package and found these.

The color is cool on the site page, it seems funky and interesting. It was maybe a bit to crazy to pick neon, but I wasn't going to let that stop me. I thought, "cool stripes, cool color, reminds me of a creamsicle. I'm buying it". -I should have thought again- The color isn't "cool" but the shiny, awkward shade of pumpkin. I threw aside thoughts of wearing adorable neon briefs and tried putting them on.

The color wasn't the worst part, I could live with that. It was the fabric and fit of these briefs that pissed me off the most.These briefs "don't fit." I mean they don't even fit past my knees. I'm a small gal, I generally wear smalls or mediums in lingerie, there is no way a men's medium shouldn't fit me. I asked R, who is a man's medium, they didn't fit him past the knees either.

The fabrics are listed on Eden Fantasy as Polyester and Spandex, which I thought would be comfortable. A medium was sure to fit- but a little stretch couldn't hurt. I was wrong, these underwear couldn't fit a size zero, and I ordered a medium. If you are looking to dress your baby up as Micheal Cera in Juno then I suggest you order these underwear. They look like track shorts and are so tiny, only newborns could wear them comfortably.

These briefs don't allow the wearer any range of movement, or any breath-ability. The fabric is thick, and unlike cotton, does not allow the slightest breeze to cool you down. Even if I could fit into them, I would sweat to death.
Because they couldn't fit me, and I don't have friends weighing less than fifteen pounds, I donated these to the local thrift store.

I imagine some small child will pair this with an off-purple shirt and be Dora the Explorer for Halloween.


Overall-I think these were a huge waste of money. If you are going to be spending money on men's underwear, which are generally cheaper at department stores, then get something you will like! I won't be buying from this lingerie brand again but if you are truly desperate for some fun men's underwear, I suggest you look at [Coquette's men's line Zack]. Eden is selling these wonderful undies which are cotton and comfy.

I gave these away, to the local thrift store, so I haven't changed my mind much. However, I now have a great, yet scary, lingerie story to tell my friends. Overall, I would never recommend this pair of undies- Coquette has a much better men's line.
