The Package
"Dripping with sex", that's on the cover of the plastic box these come in. The back goes further with "They hug and lift and keep your eyes on the prize." Strangely enough, the box came wrapped in something that reminds me of the plastic wrap we use for leftovers in the kitchen at my house, albeit a bit stickier on the one side. The box is kind of cheaply made, though. One thing that I felt should have been on the box was how to clean these shorts. Thank goodness the tag in them has that information.

The Shorts
Firstly, hand wash only. That's what the tag says. Do not iron or dry clean. To dry them, you need a clothesline. It seems kind of heavy on the special maintenance. So how do they feel? Slick would be the easiest definition to bring to mind. The outer part of them definitely looks wet; almost like it has a glossy sheen to it. Inside they look kind of cheap, though thankfully, they don't feel like that against your skin. There is nothing I can imagine worse than something as tight as these, with a piece scratching against your skin when you move. That would be a definite mood killer.

Personally, I'm a bit mixed on this item. It hugs your skin very close, almost too close in fact. I got the XL pair, and that is the size of boxer I normally wear. When I pulled these on, at first I thought I wouldn't be able to fit into them. They were that tight. It honestly felt like they are a size smaller than listed, or that I had mistakenly received the Large pair in place of the XL ones.

Given the tightness, I wouldn't want to wear these any more than necessary. To be honest, they feel like the type of item you would slip on maybe an hour before sex, as something to entice your partner. They are almost like wrapping paper on a sexy gift. But that's about all there is to this product. It's really only good as short-term wrapping paper. With extra emphasis on the "short".

I didn't have anything to compare to, but I would have liked to see a pair of these in XXL, to see how snug they would have been. Maybe it's the type of product that works better if you can purchase a size larger than what you normally use, in order to balance it out.
