During the last few years, I’ve really gotten into leggings. My collection of them may not be growing as quickly as my underwear collection, but slowly I continue to add more to my collection. Therefore, I was obviously excited to have the opportunity to try the Total Comfort Lounge Leggings from Box Menswear.

I appreciate the straightforward name of these leggings, and found they really live up to their name. They are totally comfortable and they are prefect for lounging around.

The bamboo fabric of these leggings make them not only comfortable, but functional as well. The fabric absorbs moisture so it will wick away the sweat in the summer and help keep your body warm in the winter. The perfect fabric for year-round use. These certainly could be used for workouts or running, due to the fabric and the cuffs around the ankles to keep them in place. However, the white fabric is pretty translucent and will show anything you have on (or don’t have on) underneath. Because of that, you will likely need to throw some shorts over these if you plan to wear them out of the house. I’m not a fan of the shorts over leggings look, so I’ll stick to lounging around the house in these.

For sizing, I usually order Medium when it comes to leggings, and found that was the best choice for these. Just as a frame of reference, I found I should size down one size in Box Menswear underwear, but I think when it comes to their leggings, you’re best to stick to your usual sizing.

I am really glad that I had the opportunity to give these leggings a try. I can tell that I will get a lot of use out of them. The comfort level is fantastic an I really love the bamboo fabric. I hope Box Menswear expands some of the color options. I think some darker colors might make these more functional outside of the home, without having to throw shorts over.

UNB Tim recommendation: As long johns go these are now my favorite. They will keep you warm and give you amazing support throughout the day. My biggest pet peeve is that most traditional long johns don’t offer support and you must wear another pair of underwear, under them! These are the best of function and form.


If you were anywhere in the States with the exception of SoCal or Hawaii, it was cold as hell. In Atlanta, we went down to the teens (for those outside of the US that’s -9 degrees C). On top of that, the ice and snow came too. This was the perfect weather to give the CX92 Long Johns a try. Let me preface this review by saying I hate layers. As in dressing in layers. Halfway through the day most of the layers come off. On top of that, I don’t wear a t-shirt under my shirt to work because I get too hot!!! My rant is over.

As stated above I wore this on a really cold snow day at home. Which was a good move! I noticed how these under my jeans kept me warm. Normal long johns drive me nuts, you always have to wear underwear under them for support. Note the rant above. I decided to try these without anything. Cocksox built in their awesome pouch into these. Which I must say feels awesome. Cocksox knows how to make a pouch on bikinis and long johns.

If you are a long time fan of Cocksox you know their fabric is super soft and amazing. I was worried that this fabric wouldn’t be as warm as other fabrics but I was proven wrong. The construction of the pair is top notch. I have had very few issues with any pair of Cocksox I have ever had, and I have quite a few. The first pair I got in 2006 is finally wearing out. The pouch as I have already said is awesome.

These were a little tight on me. But I’m not sure if it was the extra fabric under my jeans or the extra holiday weight. Cocksox typically is spot on with sizing. I haven’t had many issues over the years. If you follow their sizing guide it’s pretty much true to what they say.

I’m glad Cocksox is making Long Johns. It’s about time we have some form in the function of this style. The pair kept me warm, had an amazing pouch and felt amazing. I could picture me wearing these all day in the winter. These are well made and super fun!
