I find the fabric to be soft, the trunks are very well made and the logo on the elastic band is cute. I pack with a Thinker 3 in 1. This underwear, so far, is good and for "playing" but I still haven't figured out how to pack comfortably. I don't have problems packing when I use regular underwear, so it's not the packer. Maybe it's because of the sturdy seams and my sensitive skin, idk but I'll figure it out eventually.
