Waist size was ok. The legs would not bend or cut into my son's hips. It looks like they are not lined with an elastic seam. It's a shame as the waist and the rest of the underwear fit well. He couldn't carry them, even though the holes in his legs hurt. He's a skinny kid, almost no fat, so that's not the problem.

As you can see in the picture, the darkest color is on the front. I should have taken more time to read the description. I was in a hurry and thought they were the same pair of boxers I'd bought many times before. These are pouch style boxer shorts. I've never heard of this underwear before. I showed them to my son and he asked if we could return them. Another annoyance was the large label inside.
