When I'd see guys in their 2xist uw I always thought it was hot so I got some of my own and am not that impressed what does everyone else think about them?

I will admit that I think 2xist is my favorite brand for the money...

I've loved 2xist for a long time but the last few pairs I've bought set me back.

First, I had always gotten extra large even though in most undies I'm a large because they ran small, more like european sizes (their XL says 37-39 whereas most american brands say 40-42).

So a few months back I order an XL pair and they seem really big, I kind of figured maybe it was just the style of that particular model, so I didn't bother sending back.

Just today, I got two more new pairs in two new models and in XL and they're huge, bigger than even the first big XL pair.

So has anyone else noticed that they seem bigger? I'm definitely sending these two pairs back to exchange for a large.

I've also noticed something of the same thing with C-IN2, they seem to have grown over the past year or so.

I have noticed this as well...I bought a pair a couple of months ago, and it was bigger than it should have been...although I had that happen with a pair of Calvin Klein's as well..

Just speculating -- maybe the designers/manufacturers are resizing to go along with the increasingly obese population (percentagewise) in the US (and some other countries - where they might sell their brands).

Sort of resetting the demographic "norm" - which doesn't help those of us who are not growing into the next sizes!

Well I had always labored under the misunderstanding that the numeric sizes for underwear (and pants, etc) was supposed to literally be inches. I discovered last year though that those numbers are just as imaginary as any other sizing.

So while 2xist deciding to expand their sizes may make sense for them, it would have been useful for them to give some indication to long time wearers like changing the numbers at least.

Same thing here. I thought that I was losing weight LOL.

Agreed that the size is bigger than it used to be, I guess that I need to go to the gym more often now.
