THE LUCA - A REVIEW BY NBB

I can’t quite remember where I saw this wearMEunder product featured, but I was immediately interested because the briefs were nice and low cut with high leg openings on the side. Right in my wheelhouse.

Forgetting happens when you get to a certain age that shall remain nameless. So, I went to their website and was immediately frustrated because they include XL as an available size on their size-guide, yet when you click on the different styles, none, or almost none, are offered in an XL.

Instead of blowing it off, I sent wearMEunder an email asking why they would be so cruel, in so many words. I got an email back assuring me that in certain styles, a L would fit me just fine. Long story short, I asked them to prove it.

So in the mail one day I received 3 pair of underwear from them. The Tim and the Tom, from the In Forma Kotone collection (size XL), and the Luca Trunk from the Le Skins collection (size L). I wore the Tim yesterday and am wearing the Luca today.

I have to tell you, I like the Luca better than the Tim.

The Luca is described as a hybrid trunk & boxer-brief. I would describe it more as a hybrid trunk & brief.

It’s really comfortable. I used to wear trunks all the time before I started working out and my thighs and glutes beefed up.

Then once they started getting bigger, the legs on the trunks would ride up and end up in the fold between my legs and my crotch. Nothing like the feeling of wearing a diaper to get you in the mood…for anything. So, I switched to briefs to alleviate that issue, only to find that briefs don’t always have the “grand ballroom” that trunks have.

Well, these trunks are cut very high up the leg; instead of the standard 2 to 3 inches of fabric past the crotch, these leg openings are about even with the crotch and do not have the cumbersome fold over seams that make some trunks bulky at the bottom of the legs.

These are made from 95% Modal, one of my top 3 underwear fabrics, 5% Elastane, so they are super slinky and light.

The waistband has a very satiny feeling to it, and does not roll or fold over. There is a nice sized pouch in front that has some white detailing around it for a little interest.

wearMEunder calls the color as grey, but it is absolutely the bluest grey I’ve ever seen. But if you would have blindfolded me when I was getting dressed this morning and handed me these underwear, I would never, NEVER have thought they are trunks. I would have bet they were briefs, and very comfortable ones at that.

wearMEunder are from the UK, which doesn’t do us any favors price wise. The British pound is still stronger than both the US and Canadian dollar, and they’re even a bit pricey in pounds. So if I were to be asked the one greatest pitfall of this brand, price would be it. But I will say that both pair of the wearMEunder underwear I’ve worn are very quality made and quite attractive.

So, if someone asks you what you want for your birthday, tell them you want a pair of your favorite cut of skivs from wearMEunder. Let them foot the bill!
