SMALL DETAILS, BIG RESULTS
We Obsess With Your Comfort

The narrower bridge connection between the pouch and the back allows you to breathe much more effectively, and reduces bunch-ups between your legs.

THE FINEST MICROMODAL FABRIC
Exceptional Softness and Breathability.

No synthetics here -and no PFAS.

Feel softness like never before with an ultra-premium, hand selected 95% MicroModal fabric. We source only the best MicroModal because comfort is our #1 goal. (Learn about MicroModal). We just add 5% of Spandex to allow for it to move with you.

We never skimp on the quality of our fabrics and materials, neither on the craftsmanship. These products go on your softest, most sensitive parts. We won't settle for anything less than the very best.

WHICH BRIEF IS BEST FOR ME?

Each Krakatoa Collection comes with a specific pouch and hem.
While they all share the same absurdly soft fabric and unflippable waistband, their pouches and hems is what set them apart.
Here is a quick guide:

HEY ALEX, I HAVE QUESTIONS!

What should I know about the fit?

The Pinatubo Brief does not have an inseam and the fabric between the legs is 40% narrower for an all day comfortable feel that won't bunch up. The pouch is designed to be large enough to provide you room, while being double layered to also provide support and privacy for your privates. All of this is benefited by our use of MicroModal which is incredibly lightweight and breathable.

What if I'm in between sizes?

Our sizes run pretty true and the materials do have stretch to them.

But if you're not sure which size is going to be the best for you, consider these three things:- Your waist in inches (pants size is OK).

- If your legs touch at the thighs.
- If you have a small, normal or large butt.

If your legs touch and your butt is large, you might jump a size.

If you have a small butt and thin legs, you can downsize.

What's MicroModal fabric?

In a word. Soft.

Really soft, our MicroModal is hand-selected to be of the highest grade available.

MicroModal is a modern technical fabric that is manufactured with cellulose from renewable Beechwood trees. Compared with Cotton, it's odor-resistant, 3 times softer, 50% more breathable, and it's not nearly as polluting or water-wasting.

Why such a big pouch?

Men come in all different shapes and sizes but for years underwear failed to respect our anatomy.

Our pouch is designed for the majority of men out there to accommodate and coddle. It's a blend of being soft with some stretch where needed, but also supportive for all day comfort. You won't need to adjust yourself anymore, because sticking to your legs is a thing of the past.

When will my item ship? How long will it take to arrive?

Please allow 2-4 days for processing, and the usual shipping times from the USPS or UPS: inside the US you can expect to see your package between 3-6 days.

We'll send you a confirmation email with your tracking information as soon as it ships.

If you have any questions or don't receive an email, feel free to reach out via our Contact Us Page.

What is your returns and refunds policy?

All returns are available for 60 days following their delivery date.

We’re happy to accept any items that are unused, unopened, unworn, and in their original packaging.

WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCEPT ANY PRODUCTS THAT HAVE BEEN WORN.

We strongly encourage you to add shipping insurance and hassle free returns to your orders as it appears in the cart, especially if it’s your first order.

We strongly recommend that you only try on only one pair for sizing purposes.

You can start a return at any time in our Returns Portal.

Given the nature of our product, and for health and safety reasons, we are unable to provide exchanges at this time.

Buyer will be responsible for any associated return shipping costs.

How do I wash my Krakatoa?

Krakatoa is quite resistant to shrinking and fading, but machine-washing them in cold water using the delicate setting and drying in low heat will keep them looking fresher for longer.

Please do not bleach, iron, or dry clean your boxer briefs or trunks. You can also wash it by hand and lay it flat to dry, for great results.

What's your 52 Wash Guarantee?

We want you to feel confident making your purchase from us. We provide a 52 Wash Guarantee which is triggered by either 52 washes or 12 months from the date of purchase.

    The perfect feel.

    I just love the feel and fit of these briefs. The way that they separate my boys from sticking to my thighs. I don't have to keep adjusting myself to get comfortable. I really like the easy access fly that keeps me from having to dig for my tool. I just wish that all of my underwear were these. I will order more.

    Fantastic!

    I can’t thank you enough for the best underwear I’ve tried in years! The pouch is fantastic and the leg openings are so comfortable. I’ll be grabbing more!

    Super Soft and Comfortable

    I love my previous purchases of Haleakala and Vesuvius briefs and trunks and took advantage of the Purple sale to order from the Pinatubo line. Love the color and waistband and the pouch is roomy with the right amount of support. The horizontal fly is well designed and provides quick access when needed. This is a great brief that I love wearing.

    Krakatoa is the only brand of underwear I currently own and I am definitely a loyal and happy customer.

    My new faves!

    I found these through a social ad, and dude... they are amazing! I love the square design up front which eliminates extra fabric. The pouch is shaped perfectly - just enough support, just enough room. Fabric is super soft. And the words of affirmation inside the waistband are icing on the cake.

    The Perfect Brief

    I cannot say enough good things about this brief. I’ve been excited to try them out after reading so many good reviews and I have to say they were all spot on! The comfort, sizing, and roomy pouch are perfect! I will definitely be ordering more.

    Amazing

    Love these briefs! Fit is great and they truly feel like you’re not wearing underwear. The pouch keeps the junk together nicely, slightly transparent depending on the lighting, which I like. I’m definitely a fan now!

    Fit and sexy

    I decided to try the new Pinatubos because of the horizontal fly and the “extra roomie” pouch. I will say at first I felt they were too tight but after wearing them all day I barely noticed they were on, which is great. The leg cut is really high, which I love, and the pouch just lets it all hang, but with support, and that is a big reason why I wanted these. They’re soft, comfy, and supportive. Very high quality and damn sexy. Nothing like showing off what ya got. Definitely appreciate the extra room

    Love these

    Honestly, after getting my 1st purchase and enjoying the comfort of them, I HAD to buy more. Wasn't an underwear guy but I'm actually loving these. Very comfortable, soft 😌

    Best I’ve ever worn

    Love the front pouch for easy “access”. The material is soft, comfortable but holds its strength. I ordered a smaller size as recommended and it fit perfectly. I’ll be a repeat customer. Mistakenly I got one without the pouch but kept it because of comfort.
