The Underwear of the week this week is the N2N Bodywear Luxe Jockstrap. I don’t think we have ever had a jock as the underwear of the week. The reason we have chosen this one is that the new lines by N2N are so cool and I figure its about time to get a jock up here. Several of us over here at UNB love jocks.

We just reviewed the Luxe Brief and have no doubt that this is just as good quality as the brief. N2N is known for it’s stylings and great pouch designs. If you like that you will love N2N. The jock is available from their website for $18, and is available in White and Black.

This is my first pair of N2N, and I have always heard from friends how great the undies were and I have never bought any. Why, you ask? Well I guess it is just because I’m just lazy, and never really got around to it. Which I now know is my mistake!

Our friends at N2N sent us some great undies to review for their new lines that is coming out in the next few weeks. We are really excited about reviewing all of them!

I got to try the Luxe brief, and the first thing I loved was the waist band. I love the new waistbands that have the N2N on it. It is very sleek and sexy. I put them on and decided to give them a good work out, literally, so I went hiking. This was the first time in a year I had gone, so I figure, if these can stand up of hiking up and down hills daily wear would be a snap.

I headed out and wore them under my shorts. The first thing that really caught my attention was the pouch. I have heard about how great their pouches are and it really supported me throughout the hike. It was kind of like wearing a jock, so for me the pouch was a defiant highlight. The next thing was the seat; it really stayed in place and didn’t ride up or bother me for the entire hike. The last thing that was nice about these undies, is they didn’t keep moisture around my body, they really kept me cool and dry. There is nothing worse than wearing cotton undies hiking!

N2N is also known for their really revealing and sexy undies made to show off what you have. The pouch on these did push my bulge out some and made it a bit noticeable, but not too bad. The N2N Luxe Briefs are great to wear when you want to show off a little.

It is briefs time and I’m trying out a pair from Priape Wear called the Bruce Brief. This brief is especially stylish for the upcoming summer months with its tropical pattern. This is another exciting brand carried by our friends at The Poster Hut here in Atlanta, GA. If you find this review interesting and want to slide these summer briefs over your rear, you should pay a visit to these guys soon.

The Bruce Brief has a somewhat classic fit and style. I had the opportunity to review a size large in the red tropical pattern. The overall fit of the brief wasn’t bad. My package was well supported and the seat provided for good coverage. I had two issues, however, with the fit. The pouch has a classic style so it didn’t have a great deal of room as other modern designed briefs. Also, the seat rode up and would not stay in place. I know there are several styles available these days that are designed to show off your cheeks, but this style is not a good one for me.

The fabric is soft cotton and the waistband elastic is comfortable. The briefs have a great look and feel to them and are well constructed. The tropical print is very hot for a wild look. I personally love the look of the briefs and wish the fit had been better for my mini-van sized rear. I believe this brief would be great for daily wear, but from my experience, I wanted to take them off and go commando halfway through the day. Alas, opinions vary and so do body types. You will need to check out the briefs yourself and make a judgment call.

To sum it all up, I believe the Priape Bruce Brief is a festive addition to any summer wardrobe. I give it an overall rating of 4.2 on a scale of 5.

There is a new swimwear line out there and it’s called Skmpeez.  Summer is about to go into full swing and you need a suit to be seen in on the beach! Skmpeez has some really great prints that really make them stand out!

The company was founded by two friends; one, a designer and the other a business man. They both reallyskmpeez_2882-edit love traveling and having fun in the sun.  The initial idea came about when the two were going to the beach and they spent hours trying to find the perfect suit, only to come home disappointed. They started their own line and now can create that perfect suit.

From their press release”

“SKMPEEZ’ first collection includes two cuts, the Euroz and Squarez. The Euroz cut, as its name describes, was inspired by the shape and fit of the classic European style of swimwear. This cut sits low on the hips. Not quite as revealing as a bikini cut, the Euroz leaves just enough to the imagination. The Squarez cut on the other hand, has a bit more length in the legs but sits low on the hips much like the Euroz.”

skmpeez_2635-edit“The exciting cutting edge designs in SKMPEEZ’ debut collection was inspired by current and past fashion trends as well as an infusion of basic graphic design theory. The placement and orientation of shapes and colors are important in optically enhancing the look of your best assets. This season’s innovative designs from SKMPEEZ takes inspiration from various time periods and cultures combining colors and patterns taken from the 50’s, with shapes and silhouettes from Asian culture and art.”

One thing about the line is they just focus on really great fitting and eye catching swimwear.  They have graced the cover of Instincts swimwear issue. Carlos the UnderGear model winner wore them on the cover shoot.  On top of that they were featured in the swimwear feature as well.

The swimwear ranges from $47 to $52. They have a few retailers, many of them are in the warmer climates, and you can see the list on their website. But, if you’re like me and not in a city that sells Skmpeez, you can order from their online store. Check out the line and we will bring you more about them in the future

After seeing how quickly the first and second runs of his Show It Underwear sold out, fashion designer Andrew Christian decided to cross over the show it idea and create a line of swimwear featuring the Show It Technology. Andrew Christian brings you the Show It Swim Trunk and the Show It Bikini which adds up to 1.5 inches to a man’s frontal measurement.

Both the Show It Trunk and Bikini feature the comfy cup design inside that gently lifts and presents your best assets to the world. The comfy cup is lined with soft elastic to provide long lasting comfort the entire day at the beach. The Show it Trunk and Bikini are both made with Sport UPF Fade Resistant Fabric 50+ which means that over 95.7% of UV rays are blocked by the fabric. Sport UPF Resistant Fabric is also fade resistant meaning you will be able to wear it in the sun all summer before the fabric even begins to fade.

“I was extremely surprised and happy to see how well the Show It underwear line did,” says designer Andrew Christian, “I never thought anything would top the Flashback in sales numbers, but the Show It line has not only matched but has surpassed the Flashback. Therefore I decided to introduce Show It swimwear just in time for the summer.”

The Woodstock boxer is the only underwear to feature a secret hidden pocket on the right front that is built into the actual garment, so much so, that if you didn’t know the pocket was there, you wouldn’t be able to tell from just looking or wearing it. The pocket is perfect for holding anything from a pill, to a key, a phone number, to a ring or even a condom – and it keeps them all safe and hidden from the outside. The Woodstock boxer also features Anti-Muffin Top Elastic to smooth the appearance of love handles and is complimented by a yellow, blue and red rainbow on the back.

Designer Andrew Christian says, “The best part about the Woodstock boxer is that it prevents the items you have secretly hidden from falling out, such as can happen with pockets. With the Woodstock boxer, there will be no more searching for keys at the end of a long night out, or worrying about staying safe if you want to have a little extra fun.”

So I ask you….what’s your secret that you’ve been hiding all this time?

So, I got my first shipment of undies from UNB to review, and boy did I get a great deal. Two pairs of the new Gigo collection for summer of 2009. I had seen the new wild styles in a couple of catalogs and online, and was intrigued. When they showed up, “LOUD” would be the word I would use to describe them. I got Silver Pink trunk and the purple, almost leopard printed, Purple Posse Trunks. Both pairs are not your typical “Tighty–Whities”, but if you are looking for some fun looking undies any of the Gigo line is going to be exactly what you are looking for.

Both pairs of the Gigo undies are cut a little small, but still fit very nicely; no fudging room allowed fellas. Both pairs I received came in a size medium, which fit my size 32 waist pretty well. The Gigo line fit a little lower on the waist as well. The fabric on both pairs is some of the softest that I have felt in a well put together pair of undies. It is thin, but very high quality blend of nylon, Lurex, and spandex, allowing for great movement for everyday wear.

The pouch of the Gigo line trunks is also very well cut, and reinforced with a little extra stitching. There is one seam up the back, but is not intrusive or noticeable at all. The Waistband is branded with the Gigo logo which is something that I like in a good pair of undies. Overall both these styles are fit and constructed very well.

For some guys, the styles that Gigo offers may be a turn off. I don’t think I would recommend wearing them to the gym, but for the guy that is looking for a fun night out on the town, in a pair of undies that feel good on the skin, offer the right amount of movement, and make you feel a little sexy; these are the styles you have been looking for.

Fit: 4
Materials: 5
Put Together: 5
Look: 4
Daily wear: 5

Overall: 4.6

The Gigo Silver Pink and Posse Trunks are $28.00 but also come in brief, g-string, and jockstrap, with pricing around $25.00. Gigo can be purchased at Underwear Station, which also offers many other styles, cuts and colors of the Gigo underwear line. I hope you have just as much fun in these undies as I did.
