Author’s Note: I purchased this Bn3th underwear using my own money.
While in the United States we have legacy underwear brands like Hanes, Fruit of the Loom, and Jockey, Canada has cool upstarts like Saxx and Bn3th (pronounced “beneath”). Saxx and Bn3th have much more in common than just being Canadian, eh? They both are headquartered in Vancouver, started in the 2000s, and have their own proprietary underwear pouch.
I have written several articles previously about Saxx and its BallPark Pouch, including my Guide to Saxx Underwear and my Saxx shorts review. And while I have had a pair of Bn3th Classic Boxer Briefs with its MyPackage ball pouch for a while, I haven’t yet written my thoughts about these Saxx alternatives. Today, I’ll share my personal experience with Bn3th Classic Boxer Briefs, comparing them to my beloved Saxx and other brands I’ve tried.
Trying On Bn3th Classic Boxer Briefs
Upon opening the package, I was immediately struck by the softness of the Tencel modal fabric. This premium material feels incredibly smooth and gentle against the skin, making it ideal for all-day wear. The fabric’s breathability is also noteworthy, as it helps to regulate temperature and prevent discomfort, especially during physical activity or in warmer weather. Long-time readers know that I love modal and bamboo underwear because of its softness and breathability.
I also liked the cool pattern, reminiscent of a California sunset over the ocean (Bn3th is big into surfing culture). Originally from California, I found the pattern comforting. 🙂 I also note that these boxer briefs have a 6.5″ inseam, so they are a tad longer than regular boxer briefs in the 5-6″ range. The extra length makes no difference if you want standard boxer briefs. However, if you are used to shorter styles, then Bn3th also makes 3.5″ trunks, as well as a couple of colors of men’s briefs.
How is the Bn3th MyPackage Pouch?
The MyPackage pouch is undoubtedly the star of the show. Its unique U-shaped design is engineered to provide support and separation, effectively cradling and isolating your balls for a secure and comfortable fit. While I’ve always been partial to Saxx’s I-shaped pouch, I must admit that Bn3th’s U-shaped pouch is quite comfortable too.
I still like Saxx’s I-Shaped BallPark pouch and Separatec’s Dual Pouch the best. I have previously worn Shinesty’s U-shaped pouch—the most similar to Bn3th’s pouch—but my balls don’t fit. Since the point of the U-shaped pouch is to “cup” your balls, if they don’t fit, then the pouch is pointless. So, while I like wearing Shinesty’s boxer briefs, the U-shaped pouch doesn’t add value.
However, Bn3th’s U-shaped pouch is better than Shinesty, as it is a little larger to allow your balls to go in. This allows the side pouch panels to separate your balls from your legs, which helps with temperature control and skin irritation. In fact, I would say Bn3th’s pouch is more akin to V-shaped pouches like Hanes’ Total Support Pouch, which is great and far cheaper (read my Total Support Pouch review here).
My Overall Thoughts & Alternatives to Bn3th Classic Boxer Briefs
Overall, I found these Bn3th boxer briefs quite comfortable, and I like them! The Tencel modal is very comfortable, and I appreciate Bn3th using a high-quality modal fabric. I’d rate them four stars out of five, primarily because of the price. I don’t think they are necessarily worth $32/pair. If you can buy them on sale in the low to mid $20/pair range, that would be a much better value. Or if you are in the military or a First Responder, you can save 20% instead!
I would compare these Bn3th boxer briefs to similar modal boxer briefs like Calvin Klein or Jockey. Note, though, that Bn3th uses Tencel modal material, which is of higher quality and softer than general modal fabric. Tani is another brand that offers Tencel modal material, and their underwear is very soft, but Tani’s prices are closer to $40/pair.
- Jockey Modal Boxer Briefs: Jockey’s modal boxer briefs are an awesome everyday underwear and provide an amazing value (read my review here). If you don’t need the separated pouch that Bn3th has, then Jockey’s modal boxer briefs would be a better buy. And if you want a fly, Jockey’s includes a standard vertical fly.

- David Archy Bamboo Boxer Briefs: These bamboo boxer briefs are very similar to Jockey’s modal boxer briefs and are even cheaper. They have a standard, non-separated pouch and are also an amazing value buy compared to Bn3th’s classic boxer briefs. Check out my review on this page.
- Calvin Klein Modal Boxer Briefs: I have worn Calvin Klein modal boxer briefs for many, many years, and they hold up very well. CK is thinner than Bn3th and has a standard, non-separated pouch, so it provides less support overall than Bn3th. However, as I prefer thinner fabrics, I find CK’s fabric to be more luxurious feeling.

Details of Bn3th Classic Boxer Briefs
Here are my nine features of men’s underwear to examine when buying new underwear:
- Length: Bn3th Classic Boxer Briefs have a 6.5″ inseam, the longest boxer brief inseam before going into long-leg boxer briefs. This will provide excellent leg coverage for most guys. However, Bn3th also sells 3.5″ inseam trunks for men who prefer shorter styles. Sadly, Bn3th stopped selling men’s briefs in October 2023. 🙁

- Price: Bn3th Classic Boxer Briefs and Trunks are $32, but you’ll get a better price buying three-packs. Or you can save 20% if you are a member of the military or a First Responder.
- Colors and Patterns: What I love about Bn3th is that they have a wide variety of colors and patterns to make wearing Bn3th underwear fun. I appreciate that Bn3th has fun patterns, but they aren’t as wild as Saxx or especially Shinesty, with its X-Rated Collection. For more conservative guys, Bn3th sells timeless black, blue, and gray underwear, too.
- Material and Fabric: Bn3th Classic underwear is 95% modal and 5% Spandex/elastane, which is standard for modal underwear. But Bn3th uses Tencel modal, a higher-quality and softer modal version. They are very soft and comfortable and ideal for everyday wear. On the other hand, if you want moisture-wicking underwear or more supportive underwear for intense activities, go for Bn3th’s Entourage boxer briefs or Mack Weldon’s Stealth Boxer Briefs.
- Flys: You can get the classic boxer briefs and trunks with a vertical fly or without a fly. Note that the color selection is far less with a fly than without a fly, so keep that in mind if you desire variety.
- Ball pouch: Bn3th’s proprietary U-shaped ball pouch is called the MyPackage Pouch. My husband and I both like the pouch, and I believe it works better than Shinesty’s U-Shaped pouch.
- Branded Waistband: Some of Bn3th’s underwear has large bold logos on the waistband, while others have small, subdued logos. I prefer smaller logos, but if you like showing off the waistband, choose Bn3th’s flashier waistbands. Either way, note that the Bn3th’s Classic underwear has a 1.375″ waistband, a tad smaller than the standard 1.5″ waistband for men’s underwear. I prefer smaller waistbands as I find them more comfortable.
- Multipacks: Bn3th sells three-packs for a slight discount.
- Design Country: Canada
