I have been eying Croota Underwear for a while, especially since an official US presence became available. They are an Australian designed line with some really sexy and unique designs. I’ll let Croota’s website give you a great overview of the company:
Welcome to Croota.us, your official supplier of Croota underwear in the U.S. Founded four years ago in Australia – the men’s underwear fashion epicenter of the world – Croota has quickly become one of the most sought-after brands among men’s underwear fans around the globe.
From the get-go, Croota’s goal has been to rescue guys from the chains of ugly, saggy men’s underwear. Because we are men’s underwear lovers ourselves, we can always be counted on for fun, breathtaking and high quality products.
Whatever your preference in men’s underwear, we’ve got it covered with our wide range of stylish designs and cuts, including Hipsters, Trunks, Bikini Briefs, and Thongs. So why not mix up your underwear choices depending on your mood: Maybe a hipster or bikini brief during the day, a thong for going out and a trunk for lounging around the house when you get home.
Now, let’s get to the Through Hipster. The Croota.us website lists it as:
This low rise hipster (boxer brief) features a sporty square cut and body huggingdesign. Which provides
comfort, support and great look, it is also made from high quality cotton that feels great against the skin. Another excellent feature is the mixed cotton & satin elastic waistband which keeps it from digging into your skin and causing discomfort.
95% Cotton, 5% Spandex
Now, let me tell you how I put this hipster to the test. I slipped them on after a trip to the sauna, hot tub, and a brief swim. After that, my partner and I went for a 1/2 hour roller blade session, and after a chill out by a fire, I wore them under my sleep pants overnight.
I chose this pair of undies because my outfit included a moderately low rise pair of jeans, and when I wear non-work-style pants, I want undies that don’t show up over my jeans (it’s my personal preference). This pair stayed right below my jeans, so they performed that function perfectly. Second, I like support up front for the boys, and this contoured pouch snuggled and supported them without anything special. Lastly, I hate it when underwear gets itself into places where it’s not supposed to go, and this pair of underwear stayed put.
Sport: I was impressed with how everything simply stayed put and was supported. The 95% cotton 5% spandex blend held everything quite comfortably and allowed for wonderful movement. Although I wear tight jeans (with a moderate low rise), these never bunched up on the legs nor provided a wedgie. While it wasn’t a particularly warm day, I never felt sweaty in the crotch during the activity, so this thing performs quite well in managing moisture.
Relaxing: While relaxing by the fire, it felt like I didn’t even have underwear on. Nothing was obtrusive about these undies, especially since the fabric / care information was printed direct inside, and the decorative “tag” was safely on the outside waistband, never scratching or causing discomfort. Bravo on this design feature Croota!
Sleeping: Let me start by saying that as I was preparing for bed, I took off my jeans and checked to see how the
“Through” had held up through the day, and it was great! My butt looked awesome in these guys. While they don’t have “enhancing” technology, I found that it hugged in all the right places, helping push together what you’ve got to give you a nice full look behind you. I did notice that once the jeans were off and friction wasn’t holding the legs around the body, the center of the rear rode up a little bit, but never once gave a wedgie or thong-like feeling. I was concerned, however, that while I slept that this may cause some “attention” where it would have been obtrusive, but these were great in that regard.
The verdict: This hipster is a great low-rise that will sit perfectly under your jeans and hold you well during any activity. The waistband, rear fabric and leg openings stay put and don’t go where they aren’t wanted. The rear info-tag is printed direct on the fabric causing extreme comfort against your most sensitive skin, and while the pouch is contoured and concise, it will not “confine” you when you sleep. I whole-heartedly recommended this pair for both brief and trunk style lovers, as you will feel comfortably supported. You will not be disappointed with this underwear, and it will quickly become part of your regular wear rotation (as it has leapfrogged ahead in mine).
Would I buy another pair? I didn’t buy this pair, but thanks to Croota.us providing me this for review, they have given me a wonderful introduction to their brand. I WILL be buying a couple of their bundles in the near future to try out some of their other designs!
Sizing: Pay attention to their size chart! I normally wear a size Small in my underwear (29-30), but that size in Croota (and this pair) translated to a Medium. This sizing was perfect for me. Feel free to contact them if you are unsure of your size.

Croota.us provided me with this pair for review.
fabulous brand. I received a coupon code for reviewing a couple items on their website, so I used to that get my hands, or should I say body, on and in these undies.
My use of this hipster / trunk was quite subdued compared to the Through Hipster, but none-the-less, it held up just as well. The pouch on this is a little more pronounced, and the seams around your package help provide a modest boost. It isn’t anything like “boosting” designs from other brands, so please don’t get your hopes up here, but it does allow for a little freedom and brings everything out front just a little more than a flat front. The fabric is a very shiny 95% Cotton, 5% Polyurethane blend that stands out and feels very sexy against your most sensitive area.
