Price: $17.00
Known mostly for their extreme style thongs and briefs, Male Power has been
designing and manufacturing men’s underwear for many years, pre-dating the
current Men’s Underwear explosion. Male Power recently released a more
traditionally styled line of underwear available in sock, thong, jock,
boxer-brief, brief and mini-short styles. I found the mini-short an interesting
design with a low-rise, very short leg in the front that shortens to a brief in
the back and decided to try it out. The fabric is a stretchy 95% cotton, 5%
lycra spandex that is soft to the touch and very comfortable. The entire line
is available in a variety of solid colors including Red, Blue, Light Blue and
Black and White. As with most Male Power underwear the pouch is fairly large
and aggressively styled which leaves ample room that provides support and
shapes well. The pouch is dual-layered which helps the otherwise thinner
material from becoming too revealing. The elastic waistband has some nicely
subtle styling with color stripes and repeating “Male Power” text. These mini
shorts are comfortable and fit true-to-size with the mediums working very well
for myself. As mentioned earlier the style of these mini-shorts is interesting
with a very short inseam in the front that provides the look of a short but
then the legs shorten around the back to a brief style. The back has a center
seam that accentuates your backside although it can cause a bit of riding up. Overall
the pattern and cut works well with a high degree of comfort and style
combined.
The Grades:
Fit:
A
Partly thanks to the superior material, the cut and style fit of these
mini shorts is excellent with no binding or tightness in any of typical trouble
areas such as the pouch and the legs.
Design:
A
Although the rest of the lineup is more
traditional, this particular cut gets higher marks in the design category for
the unique style. The color choices are nicely saturated and provide some
decent choices.
Material:
A
I really liked the material, it had the
smooth finish of a synthetic fabric while maintaining the natural feel of
cotton.
Construction:
A
Excellent construction marks for Male Power’s clean
seams and even stitching these briefs hold up well to daily wear.
Overall Grade:
A
I’m glad I tried these mini shorts
as these turned out to be an excellent addition to my underwear lineup.
Would I buy another pair? Yes I liked these enough that I could see myself
ordering another pair in the same style and try out some of the other styles in
the lineup as well.
