Summary

BN3TH enjoys strong enthusiasm from the r/BuyItForLife community, with many users calling them the most comfortable boxer briefs they've ever worn and praising the pouch design as superior to competitors like Saxx. Durability gets generally positive marks, with users reporting pairs lasting 5–10+ years, though a notable minority report quality decline after the MyPakage-to-BN3TH rebrand and some experience crotch wear or pouch stretch-out. The high price point is a recurring mention, but most users feel the comfort and longevity justify the cost — especially when bought on sale.

Verdict

BN3TH is one of the most consistently praised underwear brands in the community for comfort and longevity, but a real minority of users report durability failures and a post-rebrand quality decline, making it a strong recommend for most but not a guaranteed buy-it-for-life certainty.

What people love

The community consistently praises BN3TH for exceptional comfort, a superior pouch design that eliminates adjustment, and durability that outlasts most competing brands. Many users have fully replaced their entire underwear drawer with BN3TH.

  • Pouch design keeps everything in place without constant adjustment
  • Frequently outlasts Saxx and other premium competitors
  • Tencel/modal fabric feels like wearing nothing at all
  • Performs well for both athletic use and everyday wear
  • Tags are perforated and easy to remove
  • Black Friday and holiday sales make the price more accessible

What people criticize

A minority of users report durability issues, particularly crotch holes and pouch stretch-out over time, and some feel quality declined after the rebrand from MyPakage to BN3TH. Moisture-wicking performance in active or synthetic blends is also criticized.

  • Some users report holes in the crotch area even in larger sizes
  • Pouch can stretch out over time, losing its functional support
  • Perceived quality drop compared to original MyPakage era products
  • Not ideal for wicking — modal fabric holds moisture
  • Expensive at $20–35+ per pair without a sale
  • Sport/poly blend caused chafing on longer hikes for one user

What people are saying

One long-time user said they've been wearing BN3TH since the MyPakage days in 2011 and has only placed one or two reorders in six years — the pairs just kept going.
A hiker noted that BN3TH held up well across an Appalachian Trail section hike and serves as their everyday workout underwear, with no signs of failure.
A user who switched from Saxx said the legs on BN3TH actually stay in place on their own throughout the day, and the pouch design is noticeably better.
One dissatisfied customer reported that boxers purchased after the rebrand showed more bunching and riding up than their older MyPakage pairs, and that the company wouldn't stand behind the product when contacted.
