Product Insights
Le 31's Neutral-Hued Stretch Brief combines Tencel™ modal and organic cotton for a garment that dries 50% faster than cotton underwear, offers 400–600 CFM breathability to reduce clamminess, and uses micro-fine modal fibers (0.5 dtex) to minimize chafing. The modal resists pilling and shrinkage, while a double-layer front ensures opacity in light colorways. Priced at $19, it undercuts the brand's microfibre brief by $1 and matches other modal styles. A potential tradeoff: the manufacturer describes a mid-rise fit, but product images appear low-rise.
Verified claims
- Smoothness
- Modal fibers half the thickness of cotton stay smooth and resist pilling.
- Climate comfort
- Modal fibers dry 50% faster; organic cotton adds breathability.
- Drying speed
- Dries about 50% faster than cotton underwear.
- Breathability
- Cotton half provides breathability (400–600 CFM) to reduce clamminess.
- Chafing reduction
- Micro-fine modal fibers (0.5 dtex) reduce micro-friction and chafing.
- Temperature control
- Cotton's 400-600 CFM breathability and modal's 50% faster drying prevent clamminess.
- Pill and shrink resistance
- TENCEL modal resists pilling and shrinkage, keeping the brief looking newer longer.
- Moisture management
- Modal's finer filaments draw sweat away from the skin and evaporate it roughly 50% faster than cotton, keeping the brief drier during warm activity.
- Opacity
- Double-layered front prevents show-through in light colorways.
- Rise
- The retailer's product description calls these low-rise briefs, while a fit answer on the product page describes them as mid-rise.

Compared within this brand.
| Neutral-Hued Stretch Brief Tencel™ Modal & Organic Cotton: Choose this if you want low-rise briefs in a soft, stretchy jersey knit made of 47% organic cotton, 47% TENCEL™ modal, and 6% spandex, with an elastic ribbed waistband and a double-layered, shaped front pouch. It's a good match if you prefer a smooth, unpatterned look with flat matching seams and full rear coverage as worn. Note that the leg openings sit high on the upper thigh and the briefs sit low on the hips, so the fit suits those who like that low-rise cut; it comes in four sizes (SMALL through X-LARGE) and four colors (Purple Grey, Ivory/Cream Beige, Hazelnut, Mossy Green).[1,2,3] | Striped-Band Brief Tencel™ Modal & Organic Cotton: Choose this if you want a soft, breathable low-rise brief in a stretchy organic cotton and TENCEL™ modal blend, with a no-roll elastic waistband and a discreet look that disappears under low-cut jeans or trousers. Reviewers report the fabric and stitching hold up after multiple washes and the blend keeps them cool through long days or warm weather. Note that the updated Tencel™ version fits noticeably tighter than the original Le 31 cotton briefs, with a front pouch cut at least a half inch narrower, so sizing up is advised if you prefer a roomier pouch.[4] | Stretch Ribbed Brief Organic Cotton And Recycled Polyester: Choose this if you want a low-rise, true-to-size brief with a stretchy rib knit that reviewers say moves freely through yoga and active days, made from 65% polyester from recycled plastic bottles and 35% reprocessed cotton, with an ultra-soft elastic waistband, contoured front pouch with opening, and full-coverage back. It comes in Black, Grey, White, and Baby Blue across sizes Small to X-Large, and wearers praise the silky-smooth texture for all-day comfort. One caveat: a reviewer found it runs short in the crotch, so if you need more coverage the same brand's boxer brief version may suit better.[5,6,7] |

Tissu soyeux et coupe confortable.
Nice material; leg holes a bit tight
I have these in both the trunks and briefs. The sizing is perfect in the trunks, but the briefs run a bit tight especially in the leg holes.
