Step One Bamboo Underwear (page 5 of 6)
Boxer Brief (Longer), Trunk (Shorter)Reviewer Photos & Videos
Seriously great undies.
Have never reviewed a product before, these jocks are so seriously great that I’ve had to jump on and write one. I’ve got tree trunks for legs, always have a tough time buying leg related clothes, these bad boys fit perfectly, don’t ride up, keep everything where it’s meant to be and the Lycra panels really do make your legs glide together. No chaffing at all!! Got a 4 pack to start with, on day 5 after arrival I had to revert to a pair of the old ginch, felt like I’d strapped some sandpaper on.. So impressed that I’ve just dialled in and doubled my fleet. Don’t listen to any of the odd propaganda reviews; Do yourself a favour lads, take the dive, your getaway sticks will thank you!

Regrettable purchase
Absolute waste of money. I normally wear cotton boxers and thought I'd try the Step One product after the flood of adverts. Way too uncomfortable. Ridiculously tight around the groin and an odd "wet" feeling all the time. Gave them a couple of days and just couldn't do it any more. The first pair free is misleading because, if you need to return them for a refund, they must be unopened. Bit hard to do if you practice reasonable personal hygiene and change every day. Ended up binning them. Quite dissatisfied with the purchase.

Problem is though Greg, it seems to me to be impossible to make a judgement after one day.

Hey Nik,
You have 30 days to make your mind up!
Are you still in the 30 day guarantee period?

Once again step one I found even the longer boxer briefs in a larger size rode up straight away and were uncomfortable
Let down again, I would try the longer briefs in a medium instead of large but I feel it would be a waste of money, not sure why I'm having no luck with these

Hey Jack
Appreciate your comments. If you've tried both styles, then we are more than happy to give you a full refund on your first pair. Obviously you keep both pairs we've sent you.
Sorry it hasn't worked out!
Best, Greg
Thank you
Unfortunately not satisfied.
Bought these 2 months ago for partner and already elastic waist rolls down and 2 chaffing episodes. With larger thighs my partner was hopeful. Quick delivery but product doesn't last. Waist band starting to Frey. Poor quality. Stick to Kmart. Cheap and last same amount of time.

Thanks for your review.
The freying of the waistband is definitely not a normal occurrence, have you put them in the wash with a zipper or velcro as it looks like something has torn at the band.

A flattering package
Hey just got my 4 trunks and two shorter pairs ; was excited about your claims. Yes they are comfortable and very support; even in hot day I was worried about Lycra being sweaty, but today 40 degrees and still comfortable.
I gave them the; are they comfortable to sleep in test; normally a little freer in bed wear. Id say yes!
What has disappointed me about your product;
Firstly I only bought plum and purple was more dull in person; seemed more vibrant online; perhaps a more vibrant purple would improve their beauty!

I purchased my 1st pair to try them. They stretched and sagged after two wears and became extremely uncomfortable.
Washed once by hand. Worn them three times. Panel have stretched, Elastic in legs useless and waist band rolls over making it uncomfortable. Typical Chinese Manufacture all materials too light and poor quality. Having said that I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt and I have ordered a smaller pair. I would strongly suggest that you up the quality of your materials if you want to stay in the market because at the moment I feel that they are in the same range as Target $3 pair. Sorry to write this, part of me is disappointing and part of me wants to see you succeed. PS your site does not seem to offer the choice of multiple colors under one purchase.

Hey David,
Really appreciate the feedback. We really do our pride ourselves on quality and the materials and trimmings we use are certainly not on the cheap side when it comes to manufacturing option...
Thanks Greg. I hope they work out as I like your attitude and approach to resupplying the market with a quality product
Cheers
These ride up like a shonky?!
Brought 4 pair they rode up so much took advice and got the longer ones (like 30mm longer) I thought thats not going to make any difference and was right they just ride up and bunch up so much its ridiculous, tried different sizes as well, tried about 10 other brands as well in my quest but all pretty average until I found Kmart alpha sports long briefs $8 and they are exceptional, someone in one of these reviews mentioned them. The step ones do feel nice when you first pug them on until you move like 30 seconds later they just ride hard

Be Careful Big People
I am a big person and my waist size is 120cm. According to the size chart i am at the upper end of the 2X. The underware feels good,however because when big people sit down the stomach expands.and the waistband works as a tourniquet and is extremely tight. I sent an e-mail to the company asking them if they had a 3X trunk. I also sent an e mail explaining the problem for big people and that I felt that the waistband did not expand enough.
This was more than a week ago and no reply from the company.So much for the satisfaction policy?

Disappointing
As per normal underwear they split so just the same as normal brands - just more expensive- bought 6 pairs after the glowing reviews- never again. Really disappointing as I wanted them to be great

I was offered support and comfort, all I received was thin fabric undies offering no support.
The cheapest underwear if ever seen, and for your price that's ridiculous. They offered no support, I purchased them for support while riding sports bikes, very disappointed in the product.

Not as good as they make out but still comfortable
I actually believed the hype and ordered 7 pairs as my first order.
I have large legs and these underpants are not tight enough on my legs to prevent ride up, in fact even putting on long pants pushed them up the legs, where as the lycra ones I use to prevent chaffing do not.
Other than that the material does feel really nice and soft. But if your expecting the "never ride up" and "never have to adjust again" is simply not true. They are actually a bit annoying like that
I wont be going back to buy more, but wont slam them down either.

Hey Craig,
Hey, thanks for getting in touch. ...
Read more We understand buying anything online can be hard with sizing so not sure if you read, but we have a full 30-day First Pair Guarantee (FPG), love them, or they’re free. Ride up is usually sizing issue and you’d like to swap for a different size, that is also covered under our FPG so just let us know and we’ll send you out a different size or style, and if that still doesn’t work, you’ll get a full refund on your first pair. Please let shoot us an email so we can see if it’s a sizing problem, or if you’d just like a refund. Thanks, GregCHAFE
Very disappointed! I purchased them about 4 weeks ago in preparation for summer hoping to avoid CHAFE a bit better. First warmer day and I can barley walk it's that bad. I'm not a big man just active with work and these are no better than the cheapo underwear you get from any shop.

Sorry to hear this and it must mean there is a sizing issue, either too small or too big, which will mean the fabric is not taught around the leg and can cause chafing. We offer a 30-day...

Happy Hubby
I must say in 33 years ive never heard my old man being so happy with a pair of undies.
I had purchased 2 from our first order for a trial run and then recently another order for 15 pairs to get the great special price.
He's now got enough to last a life time :)
He says that they are the most comfortable undies he's ever worn, no creeping up legs and not having to keep repositioning the valuables.
He even went on a mans weekend and as men do up early in there jocks noticed someone else wearing "Step Ones"
So begins another conversation about the best undies out there.
Great product "Step One"

It's ok but not worth the hype
I purchased 2 pairs to trial , one boxer brief and one trunk.
I would never again buy the boxer brief as it rides up like everything else. But then again I do admit I got slim legs, maybe for bigger guys this would suit.
The briefs are comfortable. The material is great, very slight ride up. The only thing is needs to harder material to support the "package" section.
Doesn’t deliver on promises
Ok Firstly they ride up. Secondly the band around the top keeps folding In Half making for an uncomfortable experience. Thirdly they don’t support your junk as advertised.
On a plus side they are well made

Utter disappointment
For the price you pay and all the promises in the ads we are really disappointed, my partner is still experiencing chafing.
Also moisture is not wicked away.
Postage took a while and updates for tracking were seriously slow.
Save your money folks and just buy your regular jocks.

Ok, so I went to your store through your email ad where it said 7 pairs @ $18.00 ea. Got to the site and it said 7 pairs for $20.00 ea. I like them so much, I still bought them, but you owe me 14 bucks! Cheers, Michael

Comfy butt.... Still ride up
Comfy and good fabric, although it does take an age to dry, so if doing an activity while where you sweat, take a clean pair to put on, cos they stay damp. The so called never ride up on the long trunks doesn't work, they still ride up and I find myself forever pulling the legs down. Very let down, or rather bunched up. Sadly I bought several pairs living in hope. Won't be buying more.

Comfortable but the elastic waist continually folds over! Different sizes makes no difference
Very comfortable fabric but elastic waistband folds over continually and choosing a different size make absolutely no difference it’s just too flimsy or too wide and size changes won’t make any difference
August 5th 2019 Update: Waistband folds over continually
Staff here will continually tell you everything is a sizing issue ! It makes no difference what size you have the waistband continually folds over making it uncomfortable . It’s either too wide or to flimsy ! This is the only issue that needs to be sorted and then maybe the claim of most comfortable underwear will be true ! I’ve been refunded and sizes exchanged but this won’t change my rating as the product has not changed !

Hey Hurmus! Our sizes here at Step One correlate to waist size; we actually have a size chart on our website that indicates the recommended size for each waist length. You can have a look here: https://stepone.life/pages/sizing-chart :) Also please keep in mind that we sell both Boxer Briefs and Trunks which have a different leg length. Hope this helps!

Details
Step One sets out to makes men’s bamboo underwear with simple aims in mind: to be really comfy, to remove the ‘permanent front wedgie,’ and to fit well, all for a fair price.
With an impressive 4.7 star rating from almost 4,000 reviews, this bamboo underwear succeeds. Many happy men reported that their new underwear was exceptionally comfortable, that it fit them well, and that there was no riding up or chafing.
According to Step One, thanks goes to the bamboo fabric, which breathes well and wicks away moisture away to ‘keep you dry and comfortable all day.’ Step One credits the underwear's good fit to a 3D contoured pouch with elastic stitching, which supports the crotch area and stretches to fit.
Step One is an ethical company with BSCI certification, and they use organically grown and FSC certified bamboo.
