Have you used the Jack briefs? How do you like the Ace?

I wore a teammate’s jack briefs before. They fit well with the wider leg openings and had just as much pop as my Ace but they felt like they had more give and I could get a little deeper. I love the Ace briefs. I’d get Jack briefs, but I don’t think they’d fit under my suits with the thicker leg material. As it is, I have problems with losing feeling with a suit and briefs.
