NuWear has a big close out sale going on. You can take 50% off all clearnce items till Sunday . So hurry styles won’t last long at these prices.
Wyzman has new C-IN2 and Joe Snyder. They have select styles on sale but only for a few days so hurry before the sale ends.
There is an underwear company that has come to our attention. The company is called Score Underwear. And as you can tell by the image above, they want a guy to feel sexy and have classic styling.
With their underwear you won’t see any wild colors or designs. The only colors they use are white and black. But the undies themselves are very form fitting and look really great! They have a few styles they are selling. The Sports Brief, Score Brief, Boxer Briefs, Thong and T-shirts. Like I said, all very classic.
Their website is something that is fun. You have the traditional underwear company website, telling about the briefs. But you can view the “Undress the Model” section, watch some videos and just explore the site. I spent a about an hour on it the other night. I started to watch the videos, but didn’t’ have enough time to go through them all. I urge you to go check it out.
Here is some information about them from their site. It is written better then I could do:
Our Products
Our product is designed for today’s man. Score offers Briefs: Our Score Brief is the ultimate “tighty whitie,” and it is also available in black. We call our bikini-style brief, the Sports Brief. We also offer the Score Boxer Brief and Score Thong. Each style of Score Underwear delivers today’s popular trim contemporary fit. Of course, we also offer three of the most sought-after T-Shirt styles in both White and Black: These include the Crew T-Shirt, the Sleeveless T-Shirt and the ever- popular Tank Top-Shirt. You’ll never find a better fitting undershirt.
Our Packaging
SCORE offers the highest quality products and our Packaging is equally stunning. We didn’t cut corners when we produced our packages, and we didn’t cut off our models heads either. You will receive full images of our athletes, showing the front and back of each underwear style and color. Every full color box is a treasure which you will keep for a very long time.
Our Styling
Rather than add to the rainbow of colors which is currently flooding the underwear market, our designer John Falocco started with a simple, elegant and upscale approach. The styling is more traditional and is designed for comfort. SCORE underwear is special because of its simplicity. Each pair is a stand-out because of the elegant blue satin SCORE label and the distinctive blue stripe which rings each elastic band. Finally, every SCORE product is MADE IN THE USA of fine 100% US Cotton fabric. We have colors and prints coming down the line in boxer shorts and other styles.
They are a really cool company. I hope you enjoy the pics we have here, and the video at the end. Head over to their site for more information and how to order. We will bring you more about them in the weeks to come, maybe even a review.
On the current episode of Make Me a Super Model, there is a segment about 2(x)ist. To give you a basic run down of the show if you’re not familiar. There is a group of would be models, 16 of them, living in a house competing. There were equal amounts of guys and girls, and as the weeks go on someone gets eliminated every week.
How did 2(x)ist and Fresh Pair fit in? Well there are two challenges and if the model wins the first one, they get a coveted “Go See.” Where the models go see someone in the fashion industry. On this particular show, it was the first time a guy won and the go see was to 2(x)ist underwear.
But before we get into the visit, there are two models, that go to the 2(x)ist casting are Jonathan and Gabe. I have though about doing a story on Gabe, because if you’re watched the show, Gabe is always running around in his underwear. He’s even commented on how he likes underwear. Which I think is awesome, it proves what we have been saying and many industry people, that straight guys are really getting great undies and paying attention to it. It was even commented when Jonathan picked Gabe, that he was the perfect person to take. As a side note I would love to interview Gabe about underwear, and will try to see if I can get one through Bravo.
They show up at 2(x)ist and they discover they are at a casting call for 2(x)ist. They each get called in, first Jonathan and then Gabe. They meet with Jason Scarlotti, the Creative Director for 2(x)ist and Michael Kleinmann, the President of Freshpair. They each have to put on briefs, and they get photos from the front and back and it’s a over.
The funniest thing is when Gabe leaves he leaves his underwear. Which is a pair of Diesel undies. Jason makes it a point to say he left them and they weren’t a “Fresh Pair.” We also find out that Jonathan has landed a job, but it’s not clear if it’s for 2(x)ist or for Fresh Pair. If we find out, we will let you know.
I hope we can get an interview with Gabe, to give a different view on undies from what you normally see. Its great more and more guys are having fun with their undies!

Presenting Part 9 in the series by Daniel Miljkovic, designer for the men’s underwear brand Obviously, on the 10 things that make men’s underwear comfortable.
Part Nine: Positioning
One of the key elements that are going to impact on the overall comfort of your underwear is its positioning on your body. And there are quite a few things to consider here.
Boxer and boxer brief wearers need to consider the leg length of their underwear. Mostly it comes down to a personal preference, but you should also consider whether the length is contributing to bunching or riding up of the legs.
For Brief and Bikini Brief wearers important parts of the garment are the edges that run down the side of your bum. Full Cut designs tend to provide greater coverage of your bum, while a skimpier design will providing a sleeker, more revealing look, but may increase the risk of the material creeping inwards and giving you a wedgie.
The waistband positioning will contribute not only to the comfort of the underwear but also to its physical appearance. A Low Rise design will allow you to wear low riding jeans or pants, without your underwear showing. If, however, underwear showing is the look you prefer then a more Full Cut design is for you.
Finally there is the pouch space at the front. There are too many options here to consider them all but I think most importantly you should be looking for underwear that provides a natural feel; something that you won’t even know you’re wearing. The reality is that you can get used to the feel of just about anything, but that shouldn’t mean that any pouch design will do. Comfort varies considerably, so try a couple of different designs and make your own decision.

New Rainbow Pride Jockstrap Series Now Available as International Jock Celebrates Ninth Anniversary
When we opened our “cyber doors” on April Fool’s Day in the year 2000, International Jock’s goal was to focus on presenting men’s sport underwear (jockstraps, compression shorts, sliding shorts, football girdles and the like) in a completely new and stimulating way. We believed that by photographing the most intimate and erotic of men’s athletic apparel on attractive models, we could appeal to the market for these goods in an entirely new way. Apparently we weren’t fools, as International Jock is now the Internet’s most popular men’s underwear and swimwear store!
It is with great pride that we celebrate our ninth anniversary with the introduction of our new series of “Rainbow Pride” jockstraps. These incredible jocks are made for us right here in the USA by ActiveMan in South Carolina. The specially-created male support pouch is knitted from six different, brilliantly-colored threads to achieve the stunning rainbow effect.
Activeman jockstraps feature a very comfortable knitted mesh pouch with a patented, contoured cut for excellent lift and support and are available with either black or white strapping and in both regular and “swimmer” styles. For the first time ever, you can show your true colors by strapping on one of these uniquely beautiful jocks.
As International Jock celebrates it’s ninth anniversary, we offer not only athletic apparel but also a huge selection of men’s underwear, swimwear and sports and fitness apparel. Our world-renowned manufacturers include Calvin Klein and 2(x)ist, both of which are currently on sale at 25% off!, Diesel, Hugo Boss, Ed Hardy and more than 70 other fashion and sports brands. But we’ve never forgotten our roots. We still offer the widest selection of jockstraps to be found anywhere in the world and we thank you for your support.

Presenting part 8 in the series by Daniel Milijkovic, designer for the men’s underwear brand Obviously, on the 10 things that make men’s underwear comfortable
Part Eight: Waistband
One of the most important factors that contribute to the comfort of your underwear experience is the waistband. There are many elements to the waistband that impacts on this, so we’ll have a look a few of them.
In terms of physical dimension, finding a waistband size that is firm enough to hold your underwear up while not being overly tight is important. Underwear waistband measurements vary from brand to brand and even between different ranges of the same brand, so make sure you check out what ever size charts are provided by each brand.
The elasticity of the waistband itself will impact on the comfort level and once again there is a trade-off between the elastic that is flexible enough to snugly fit the body without cause discomfort. The softness of the fibers used to make the waistband will play a big part of the elasticity and the feel, and obviously the softer the fiber, the more comfortable it will be.
Some underwear designs encase both the inside and outside of the waistband in material (usually the same as the main garment itself). This decreases the likelihood of any irritation on the skin from the elastic or any of the joins or seams and tends to increase the comfort level.
Another more popular option is to use brushed back elastic, which basically has a fuzzy layer on the inside that sits comfortably against your skin. This provides a softness equivalent that the encased waistband but without the bulk of multiple layers. It also allows for prominent logo placement on the waistband which not only promotes the brand but also allows your underwear to be an exciting fashion items that we enjoy it to be.
This is my first review of underwear so I will try not to ramble too much. Underwear is a hobby for me and I am known for getting carried away. Today’s “item of interest” is the Joe Snyder Camo Thong. Obviously, to give this item a proper review I had to try it out for a day, so I did. I spent last Monday wearing it under my business casual attire for work. And I have to say that it wasn’t too bad. The thong fit pretty well for being a size medium when I would normally sport a large in most brands. Prior to putting on the thong I was a bit worries since I own another Joe
Snyder item that is a “one size fits all” jock. The pouch on the thong is very stretchy and allowed for a great fit around my package. This particular type of thong doesn’t have a waistband but its sides are comfortable and didn’t cut or irritate my waist. The pouch is the best feature because it molded and stretched well around my package and I really didn’t notice I was wearing it at all.
However, the review is not over. I still have to tell you about the backside. With a thong, the rear strap/string is the most important part of a thong when it comes to “comfort”. I am much more a fan of Y-back thongs and this camo thong is a T-back. The Joe Snyder Camo Thong has a bit more material then what I am normally comfortable with, but it wasn’t too bad to sport the whole day. I never felt the need to jump up from my desk, strip and rip it off or anything like that.
Like I mentioned earlier, the stretchy material is very comfortable and light so I felt like I wasn’t wearing anything at all. It is basically like going commando but with support. The camo print itself is hot and I had several friends (who I shared a photo or four with) said it is HOT! Overall, the thong looked pretty well put together, very solid design. For a guy like myself with a few extra pounds, but who carries it well, I think I look pretty good in it, especially since I was sporting a size medium. I totally see myself sporting this thong again while at work or out having fun. Hopefully it will be a situation with others will get to enjoy it too.
So to sum it all up, I believe the Joe Snyder Camo Thong is a pretty hot item. I give it an overall rating of 4.6 on a scale of 5.
- Fit: 4
- Materials: 5
- Put Together: 4
- Look: 5
- Daily Wear: 5
- Overall: 4.6
If any of you are interested in picking up this HOT item you can find it at UnderwearStation.com. Not only do they have a very large selection of Joe Snyder gear but a great deal of camo for those military guys at heart.

ACTIVEMAN PRIDE RAINBOW JOCKSTRAPS
Pride is coming. Do you know what you’re wearing? How about showing your jockstrap pride and wearing one of these latest creations from Activeman.
Last year at our booth at Toronto Pride we had loads of requests for a Pride jockstrap so we mentioned this to Activeman and a few weeks later, Activeman delivered. Rainbow jocks are now available in four flavors.
The pouch is constructed of a woven moisture wicking fabric which seamlessly travels the colors of the rainbow and are available with either 1 and one quarter or 3 inch wide waistbands. All jockstraps have the rainbow pouch with either white or black waistband and leg straps.
We saw lots of guys out on the street wearing nothing but their jockstraps and I expect even more this year. I know we were partly to blame as countless guys bought jockstraps, tried them on and then stuck their clothes in a bag and walked away to enjoy the rest of the day – hot!.
I don’t know about Adrian, but I know I’ll be wearing one of these new jockstraps at our booth at the end of June.

Presenting part 7 in the series by Daniel Milijkovic, designer for the men’s underwear brand Obviously, on the 10 things that make men’s underwear comfortable
Part Seven : Leg Openings
So after the last part in our series chafing I decided this series would stick to a safer, and less graphic topic; that of leg openings.
Leg opening size and shape can be significantly contributing factor to the comfort of your underwear. There are a number of factors to considering so I thought I would examine them on a style by style basis.
Briefs and Bikini/Sports Briefs
These underwear designs traditionally have small band of elastic in the leg opening to hold it in place on your body. When selecting briefs for comfort, care must be taken to ensure that the elastic is not so tight that it will cut off circulation or be uncomfortable, but at the same time it won’t be able to serve its function if its too loose.
Boxer Brief
irrespective of the leg length of these fitted designs it is important that the opening has enough give to ensure that the thigh muscle is able to flex properly and that the boxer brief legs don’t inhibit movement. The other factor to consider is that while the legs on the boxer briefs do not generally contain elastic, they are hemmed and this hemming should provide enough elasticity in its design that the legs don’t ride up.
Boxer Shorts
As long as there is an overall loose fit to the boxer shorts you won’t have any problems with the leg opening on these.
