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!
Good idea with one flaw
The boxers themselves are comfortable and we'll made but there is a flaw with waist band. I am not fat bellied but the band folds over when wearing and after use is permanently creased in two. I am afraid for this reason I couldn't recommend this product.

They look nice but dont last very long
I bought 7 pairs after seeing all the good reviews, unfortunately they have worn out within months. The elastic in the waist is all distorted and holes and tears are already showing. Yes they are comfortable but i would guess that most of the 5 star reviews come from people that have only just bought them. I have other brands that are still perfect after having them for years.

Waist band rolls down
The product is ok but has a major design flaw. The waist band curls over after a few minutes wear making life uncomfortable. A pity because everything else is good.

Didn't even last the year
Made purchase on 04 SEP 19 - Site was easy to navigate, payment and freight was easy. Received parcel earlier than expected. Whilst the product doesn't 'ride up' they certainly don't stay in place. Numerous times I've had to pull them back up, to the point of ripping the material. Out of the 4 pairs, I'm down to 2 pairs. I've bought cheaper underwear that have definitely lasted longer than this.

Good...for a day.
Super comfortable long undies that are great for a wear or 2....I thought I was on to a winner until the waist band kept rolling up. So I took advantage of the great offer and they sent me another one for free. A shorter leg. Had the same problem with these. Might be ok if I had a flat stomach. I don't like wasting money so I kept wearing them. Now, after about 10 wears have a hole appearing in the front. Glad I didn't buy 7 pairs like I was going to. They don't ride up but that's about the extent of the positive review. Really need to fix the waist band issues.

Need lot of improving
I have bought 7 pairs about a month ago. They all looked and felt good at the beginning but after about 2 weeks there are signs of band rolling over when i was bending and sitting. Which made it really uncomfortable also threads started coming off too. I would not recommend the product to any one.

Hips dont lie - bigger guys beware!
I received my first pair yesterday and was super keen to give these a whirl. As a big guy (similar in size to the models in the ads) — I wear a 38 inch pant and bought the XXL boxer, which fitted me perfectly.
I was excited to try these in hope that they would be the solution to a cooler undercarriage, reduced chafing and less undie-riding or crotch adjustments throughout the day.
To be fair, they did a solid job of keeping things in place and completely reducing any sign of chafing. Tick. BUT... where they really didn't live up to their p...
Read moreromises was keeping things cooler down below or staying firmly positioned around my waist. By the end of the day, the nether regions felt like they were on fire and the waistband had continuously rolled down, leaving me feeling like I was wearing a rope as a waist band - awfully uncomfortable! By the end of the day I couldn't wait to get them off of me! They were so uncomfortable for those two reasons, I honestly don't even think I could even wear them again :( As a brand that promotes the design as being perfect for bigger guys, I sincerely hope a bit more R&D goes into solving the rolling waistband for those with hips. Sadly these Step One's were a let down. And I'm left back at square one to try and find a great pair of undies. Sad face.1 comment

CHAFE
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.

Very comfy undies, however I have worn them 3 times and the stitching is already starting to come undone so I don't think they are going to last to long.

Not so great
Ordering & delivery is easy & fast, can’t fault them for that.
The product on the other hand doesn’t quite live up to the hype. Yes they keep you dry, yes they prevent chaffing.
Unfortunately as for riding up they fail completely, I feel so uncomfortable every time I stand up as I extract them from places they aren’t meant to be. Feels like every 5min I’m reaching down to pull them back down to where they should be.
Tried to get someone to respond from StepOne, but never got a reply.

Terrible
Bought a 7 pack. They ride up my legs and are incredibly uncomfortable when they do so. After 6 months elastic is trashed, material has worn down to tissue paper thin, and holes have started to appear. Would not recommend or buy again.

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

I like the ads however..
Had these 4 pairs of Step one's for a month now and I have been trying to like them but afraid they have been binned today. I was impressed by the ads and the delivery service and the idea that bamboo would feel good. Step one's have so many positive reviews that I think it must be my problem. The design of the undies is good but they feel like plastic, they look like polyester and they are not as comfy as the ad says. Very hard to dry after washing more so than "normal undies" and for what they are very expensive. I am going back to my cotton/elastane mix undies .

Great style - crap elastic
Really good design but the elastic waist is very ordinary. The order was received promptly so my only complaint is the quality of the elastic waist band. Colour range, fit and style are excellent.

I would like to add to this review I haven't seen this in other reviews yet but I haven't looked...the first pair were perfect. the next 4 pairs (the same size as the first) all had the same problem the elastic band has rolled over making them very uncomfortable this happened not long after buying them and since "The First Pair Are Guaranteed" I haven't bothered complai...
Read morening. I am thinking about trying some more because the ones that I have (other then the first pair) hurt my waist, but haven't made up my mind yet...yes that's how good the first pair is that I am considering about giving them another go. Changing my rating to 2 stars because they all should be perfect for the cost of the product. Not so satisfied customer.Bamboo breathes but does Lycra?
I bought four pairs of these for my son and he was delighted with how comfortable they were. The bamboo is a lovely product, so soft and breathable. He was definitely a convert. Unfortunately he developed 'jock itch' after wearing them for a few weeks. We think it may have been due to the lycra panels which I imagine would not be very breathable. He now chooses not to wear the Step Ones at all.
It would be great to perhaps have a 100% bamboo product for those with sensitive skin.
Sorry , wouldn’t but these again
Having bought another brand previously , I decided to give these a try . While the fit was great , I wouldn’t buy them again , as the 4 pairs I purchased all got holes in them after a couple of weeks. Disappointing really as they are not cheap. Sorry but I will be going back to the others I bought previously - have had them for ages , and no holes

They just don't last.
I purchased 10 pairs 3 on the first occasion and 7 on the second. I have had my undies for about 2 months. The white pair's seem split wearing them about 3-4 times. A second white pair did the same. They gave me the option of a new pair or 25% off my next purchase. There won't be one. They are overpriced and clearly are not meant to war more than a few times. Very Very disappointed. They were comfortable whilst I worn then but so overpriced

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.
