Classic Black Stretch Briefs Vibe Xtra 2-Pack
This 2-pack of SAXX Classic Black Stretch Briefs (Vibe Xtra) is men's underwear made from a soft LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose blend that wicks moisture. It features a slim fit, fly, elastic waistband, and a micro mesh 3D BallPark Pouch™ front that prevents skin-against-skin friction. Reddit users report high comfort and support for everyday wear, but also note durability issues (holes at seams) and that sizing runs small.

Product Insights
Saxx's Classic Black Stretch Briefs Vibe Xtra 2-Pack leverages the BallPark Pouch — a mesh hammock with moisture-wicking lining — to eliminate skin-on-skin friction and chafe during exercise, while the 95% LENZING ECOVERO viscose base is certified biodegradable and produced with reduced carbon and water. However, buyers consistently report seam holes within months, particularly in newer pairs, and find ExOfficio more durable, making the $34.50/pair price — undercutting Tommy John's Second Skin — hard to justify despite high comfort; sizing runs slim, requiring a size up for proper fit.

Saxx boxer briefs praised for mesh ridges
I've never tried those, but I have several pairs of the various Saxx that he reviewed really closely. The mesh ridges that separate your stuff seem like a big advantage to me. I love them and they're super comfortable!

Saxx's ballpark pouch is a game changer
I have saxx and i simply cant use anything else anymore, even in normal day use. The ballpark thing is game changing. I have maybe 7 pairs i use every day, and my first ones from 5 years ago are still perfectly usable. Go for it

Disappointment with Saxx quality compared to ExOfficio
I wonder to see Saxx in this r/ my opinion is stil about the boxerbriefs, but the quality is the same like you get from any cheap walmart offer, beside the ball park. I was really disappointed and would not recommend Saxx, especially if you expect anything close to ExOfficio.

Saxx comfort doesn't offset short lifespan
I’ve never had a pair of saxx last more than a year. They’re great for the time they last though.
