Cotton stretch briefs have wide leg bands that stay put
I got the cotton stretch and I love the wide band at the leg openings. I have big thighs and it helps if stay put a lot

Cotton stretch brief review: better than 100% cotton but revealing
I agree that the cotton stretch brief is much better than the 100% cotton (I also find that a lot of guys (including myself) don’t really use the fly in their underwear) so it’s not as much of an important feature in my opinion. My wait size can also flux, but I am normally around a 30. I still wear a size small in Calvin’s (the cotton stretch) but I do find that on the inner thigh / crotch it can sometimes be “revealing” / something can slip out (maybe TMI but mostly it’s a bit of ball sack.

Fit and sizing: runs small with small pouch
It’s on the smaller side. They relax and conform after a few wears but it takes some time. The waistband is great… very soft and comfortable but the pouch is definitely on the smaller side. Initially, for me at least, they gap away from my body/around my legs in the front until they stretch out and relax.
