Just spent five minutes scrolling round that chuckling to myself 
I tried a couple of new brands in recent years as got bored of Calvin Kleins.
CDLP some Swedish company made of lyocell which while nice and comfy all developed the same hole at the back waist after 6 months wear or so they sent me some more FOC but they didn’t last that long either.
Nice Laundry some American brand that is actually just made in China. Nice cotton and comfy but the waist bands all deteriorated on the 3 pair set I bought within a year.
Some of my CKs have lasted over a decade

I must be weird. I usually get M&S jersey boxers with the elasticated waistband. I stretch them until the elasticated bit is buggered and floppy - I can't stand elasticated waists for some reason. Same with the bottoms of joggers, I have to have open flappy legs rather than tight elasticated ones.

Blimey that's thorough. I've seen less detailed reviews of cars in the press.Boggled a bit at the concept of subscriptions for undercrackers though.

Years ago I used to go on holiday with no hold baggage. I would buy fake T-Shirts and chuddies for €1-2, wear them and throw them away!
Completely off topic (sorry!) but that reminds me someone I knew many years ago who had a habit of waking up the morning and deciding he fancied a holiday, he would turn up the nearest major airport with not much more than a passport, credit cards and a couple of hundred US Dollars... He'd look at the departure boards for somewhere that sounded interesting and ask at the check-in desk if there were any last minute cancellations / empty seats.As he said there was not point in packing more than a toothbrush and a change of pants as he never knew where he would end up so it made more sense to buy something climate appropriate at wherever he landed!
Anyway back on topic, sorry can't help as don't wear them lol.

As for dribble and skid marks, a shower after the morning poo / before getting dressed solves the skid mark side of things and erm being an adult I'm not in the habit of pulling my jeans up before finishing a wee :-)
My Dad has sworn by Bawbags ever since we met the company owners at a trade show.

I need some new ones (not because of any traumatic motoring-related incident).
In the past I've bought M&S black trunks but they quickly lose their elasticity. Want the same style with better longevity. Not looking to spend the earth.
Any recommendations?

Bawbags and Oddballs have reduced in quality over the last couple of years, don't last and often shrink.
Been on Step One for a couple of years now and really rate them for comfort but have found 2-3 pairs I purchased last year have fallen apart at the seams in random areas. Wouldn't mind but they are becoming more expensive instead of cheaper so I suspect it is reduced quality somewhere down the line.
