How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsComfortable
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 May 2020
As the Amazon essential breathable boxes was available to test and review, I was inquisitive to see how they would feel with the materials they are made of.The Amazon essential two pack men’s breathable boxes are made of 95% nylon and 5% Elastane. I was rather surprised with the softness and light weight feel of the material. The boxers themselves have a one button hole fly front, which is very easy to open and fasten. The waistband has a nice thickness to it, Measuring just under the 4 cm. which I personally find better than my current boxer shorts, as the waistband didn’t seem to fold when leaning forward. Because of the material these boxer shorts are made of, there is a slight stretchable give in the material. When examining the boxer shorts all of the seams and joints seem to be well stitched, Given them a well manufactured finish. At the rear of the shorts just below the waist band there is two label tabs, one with the Amazon essential brand name and the other with instructions on washing and drying. Which leads me onto the washing and drying instructions of these boxers. They can be machine washed at 40° and tumble dried on a cool temperature, they cannot be ironed or dry cleaned. When wearing the boxer shorts they are very comfortable and lightweight. If someone had handed these to me without looking, I personally would say they feel like a soft pair of sports shorts. They are a little more expensive than my current boxer shorts, but I can see why as they are better manufactured than some of the pairs that I get when purchased from my current retailer. As these are lightweight when wearing and very comfortable, and also being well manufactured. I would happily recommend them.

These are an accurate and comfortable fit, and well made. However I found that they weren't all that breathable and irritated my skin slightly compared to cotton underwear.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazon Essentials Men's 2-Pack Breathable Quick-Dry On-The-go Boxer
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 June 2020
Size: LColour: BlackVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
These shorts are made from a material similar to a technical sports top, fully synthetic and very soft. The sizing seems accurate, they fit well and are comfortable to wear.

The price is a bit high for what I would normally spend, and so it could have put me off, but having worn these I would probably buy them even at this price - this is because I think they are very suitable for travel.

They wash easily in the shower or a hand basin (shower gel is OK), but with them being quite absorbent I found they take longer to dry than a technical t-shirt. They do dry faster than cotton though, and should dry overnight - a consideration when camping or touring.

To summarise, an ideal holiday choice but probably a tad expensive for everyday wear.

3.0 out of 5 stars nice but overpriced.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 June 2020
Size: SColour: BlackVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
These are actually nice boxers but do be aware that the small size was actually much roomier than we were expecting.
we could definitely have done with sizing down one.
Luckily my middle son likes baggy and as these had an elasticated waist it wasn't an issue just looser in the legs than he usually wears.

the material here is like a waffle type design and the stitching and overall quality of these was good.
They come in a two-pack and were incredibly comfy.
I do think they are overpriced though as they are essentially basic boxers and nothing overly special to justify 8.50 a pair.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs up from my partner
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 July 2020
Size: SColour: BlackVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
When these arrived my partner said he would give them a try. This is what he said to me-
These synthetic nylon boxers are a summer alternative to your everyday cotton wear.

Being breathable they are cooling and yet comfortable. A bit of a strange feel when you first put them on because of the material but after wearing them for a couple of hours its surprisingly nice to feel.

Being an elasticated waste the fit was really good and they didn’t ride up after a full days activities.

3.0 out of 5 stars Stretches well
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 June 2020
Size: SColour: BlackVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
These come with an elastic waist so it can conform to different body shapes. It started off slightly tight but after wearing for an hour or so and moving around, it stretched enough for it to become comfortable.

It's quite thin compared to other boxers but that's due to the material. This makes it very breathable and quite easy to move around in since it can easily stretch.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't pay £17 for a pack of 2 boxers, regardless of quality. Despite being made from breathable material, it just doesn't have that special uniqueness about it to warrant paying a premium price when you can get multi-packs for a low cost.

These are really nice boxer shorts.The fabric has a subtle waffle type texture and is soft and cool,they have a thick comfortable and secure waistband and they are really nicely made.The sizing is perfect and they are really comfortable to wear.They have single button opening at front.Really comfortable well made and great size.So why not 5stars? I think they are slightly overpriced for unbranded plain boxers at nearly £9 pair be much happier if few pounds cheaper

Not a huge fan of the material. It's not uncomfortable but it's not comfortable either.
