Comments about ExOfficio Give-N-Go Boy-Cut Briefs - Women's:

I own several pairs of the boy shorts from a year or so ago, and love them. These? Not so much. The elastic around the leg is awful. You might as well just buy the full-cut briefs - that's pretty much what you're getting here. These create terrible panty lines and hit in all the wrong spots around the top of my leg, making them both uncomfortable and unattractive. Terrible, terrible decision to add elastic rather than sticking with the flat seam.

Comments about ExOfficio Give-N-Go Boy-Cut Briefs - Women's:

I'm updating a previous review that was actually for the older version of these without the elastic on the legs. That pair was amazing, these... Not very cute. Functionally, they are fine, but the older ones are cute, sexy and could be worn as a boy short swim bottoms. These look like briefs. Please bring back the flat seam legs!!!

Comments about ExOfficio Give-N-Go Boy-Cut Briefs - Women's:

Really, really great for travel and trail. I venture all over the world, so I'm often living out of my backpack or a suitcase. I bought a pair at my local REI and was so impressed that I decided to make them my official go-to undies for travel. They are easy to hand wash and dry quickly, even in tropical climates. They seem to resist odor more than most underwear and they also seem to wick away the sweat.

They work well in hot and cold weather and I like the full coverage since I wear a lot of summer dresses. This style seems to fit me perfectly - haven't really had any issues with panty lines. I also own the bikini briefs and those do not fit as well on my body. I would recommend trying at least a couple different styles to find the right one for you. Believe me, it is worth it.

One more nugget for you - I've used a black pair as an impromptu bathing suit bottom. They worked well and no one seemed to notice they were underwear. If someone looked closely, perhaps they would have, but as long as you're not parading around in them, you'll be ok. They dried off rather well when I ran the towel over them, so I wasn't walking around with wet shorts the rest of the day.

Comments about ExOfficio Give-N-Go Boy-Cut Briefs - Women's:

These underwear wick extremely well, but not without compromise. Just 15 minutes into my hike they were riding up my cheeks and soon I felt like I was wearing an itchy thong! They felt really nice when I wasn't moving and they did dry very quickly. A size up and they were really loose, a size down and they dug into my skin so I believe I had the right size. They just didn't stay where they needed to.

These are the most comfortable underwear I have ever worn. I have never experienced any riding, bunching, pinching or panty lines. I wear these working out, hiking, camping and with everyday casual wear. They keep you cool and dry.

Comments about ExOfficio Give-N-Go Boy-Cut Briefs - Women's:

I bought this and a couple other pairs of ex officio undies for a trip to Kauai. A previous reviewer was correct and they work well as bathing suit bottoms when I hiked to a beach. Also, like a previous reviewer stated, they are like mini-briefs (not boy shorts). They dry very well and are super comfortable (even when wet). Unfortunately, when I washed them in the sink, I was still having some odor problems. I used the travel soap (thin sheets) which could have been the problem, Dove soap bar which was better, and even liquid dish washing soap that was available at the B&B. I have had to wash them 2 or 3 times in order to get it to smell fresh again. Love these undies, but not as "odor free" as it claims (especially if you are active like hiking a lot).

Comments about ExOfficio Give-N-Go Boy-Cut Briefs - Women's:

These were comfortable, from looking at them I thought they may be itchy or not soft enough. But, they were perfect. I stayed dry, cool and comfortable. They did not ride up. Had buy a size up from normal.

Comments about ExOfficio Give-N-Go Boy-Cut Briefs - Women's:

I purchased these on sale online and my only regret is that I didn't buy more at the sale price! I love the fit, they are cute and never ride up on me. I often buy other boy shorts a size up for comfort, but my usual medium fit me well. I'm just waiting until these are on sale to stock up on more. Wish they had more colors...

Comments about ExOfficio Give-N-Go Boy-Cut Briefs - Women's:

You only need one pair when traveling. Comfortable, dries quickly, lightweight, and sexy. Fit well and look really good. I even used it as a bathing suit bottom in an emergency. I own many pair and this is now the only underwear I use. Definitively my favorite.
