The top-selling men’s underwear brand in Colombia, Expose Underwear, is ready to launch globally with its new barely-there line of sporty and sexy briefs.  Emphasizing the companies’ motto ‘DARE to EXPOSE’, Expose Underwear’s Funky and Shear collections are stylishly revealing briefs that show off a man’s best assets. Expose Underwear’s Funky and Shear collections will be available in select retailers and online at www.ExposeUnderwear.com this winter.

Made from a breathable, body-conforming stretch fabric (94% Su Pima cotton/6% Lycra), Expose Underwear’s Funky and Shear collections are available in three sexy cuts – low rise, brief, and boxer – and in an assortment of vibrant colors. Every piece features the signature 1 1/4 inch microfiber elastic logo waistband with the bold stitched logo.  The designs in the collections are designed to inspire confidence and exude masculine sexuality.

Expose Underwear’s Funky and Shear collections are for guys who are not afraid to show it off in a quality, comfortable brief,” explained Creative Director Jason Sutherland at this morning’s announcement. “They are inspired by the men of Colombia who know they are beautiful and are not afraid to flaunt it.  It’s time for the rest of the world to expose themselves – if they dare.”

With its flagship store in Colombia, Expose Underwear is a sporty and sexy brand, suitable for mid-tier and boutique stores as well as online channels. In addition to expanding globally, the company will add two retail locations in Colombia this year.

Expose Underwear is regularly compared to sport brands like 2xst and CK, a comparison Mr. Sutherland is trying to squash.  “Our briefs eliminate lines and accentuate the positive.  We use high quality perforated fabric that is so comfortable, you forget you have anything on.

“You many find our briefs on display in the same sports sections as 2xst and CK but make no mistake; Expose Underwear’s Funky and Shear collections are in a league of their own.”

Expose Underwear is the first partner brand to market from Beyond Big Branding, the innovative multi-branding company that is developing proprietary brands and partnering with existing brands trading in international markets and launching them globally.  Expose Underwear’s Funky and Shear collections retail between US$22 and US$28. They are available in select retailers and online at www.ExposeUnderwear.com.

The new collection Summer 2010 of HOM is now available on planet-undies.com. The collection is now based on 6 universes:

  • e.Go gathers the products for 18-25 years, they are characterized by coloured patterns and intense colors. A large part of the e.Go articles is manufactured on a cotton basis privileged by this category of purchasers,which makes it possible in addition to comfort to propose small prices.
  • Black addict, intended for unconditional of the black underwear. These styles have details such as printed pattern or special waist band while remaining elegant and discrete.
  • Sport: This universe gathers the articles whose design and matters used are attached to the sport. To note, the special line Sport that l’ one finds in each collection, it s’ this time of the League line acts. Its design and its matter will undoubtedly gain l’ adhesion of accustomed mark and will also convince of new purchasers. The line Color Therapy was reactualized. It is always made up of this astonishing matter Sensitive, very pleasant to carry.
  • Business: Business gathers the practical products, also styles are “chic” and “Casual”
  • HO1: For the first time identified as universe, HO1 presents all the styles brief or boxerbrief provided with the famous horizontal opening.
  • Temptation: These are  more sexy then regular HOM.

There is a relatively new company on the underwear scene. I know there are some of you out there who don’t like boxers, well this company may actually change your option. They are (B)RIEF Underneath. The line is a 2-in-1 product that combines the support and comfort of a brief with the styling and casualness of a boxer.

We asked them about how they came up with the design of the underwear. They said that they “Sales show that briefs are out, consumers are looking for an alternative to the tighty whities.  We took the 2 strongest silhouettes and created BRIEF UNDERNEATH.”

These are perfect for the guy who like the look of boxer but want a bit more support. I have known guys who wore boxers and briefs at the same time. I always ask them why they would say that its the support I miss. This brand really solves that problem.

The styles they currently offer are boxers, lounge pants and thermals. We asked them what their best selling style is and they said that would have to be the Boxer. You can get their underwear directly from their site. They are planning to launching department and specialty stores this year. That along with an expansion into women’s and children’s line should keep them busy.

They are back and reviewing cocksox for us! This is the last in the initial series of reviews we have done with them but we are looking forward to them reviewing more! If you are a company and want Del and Jason to review let us know!

CX10 Brief Red
Great feel, sexy and with the pouch that accentuates your cock.  Jason:  Although they are comfortable and well made, I think they look a little silly on.  Still, I enjoy wearing them and since Del loves them, I have put them on to please my man.   Del:  I always feel that I’m wearing a little secret.  I love them!  I love the red!  HOT!  And I like Jason in them.  He fills them out so right and they are an instant turn-on for me.
DEL: 5  JASON:  4 on a hot stripper

CX08 Mesh Brief with waistband.

Del:  We aren’t big fans of mesh underwear usually because they are just not soft and comfortable.  They always feel more of a novelty for bedroom activities rather than wear.   However, Cocksox’s mesh brief is only mesh on the ass.  The pouch is the same as the rest of their line, which houses your dick in a not scratchy way, meaning comfortable.  The ass looks lot through the mess and is surprisingly not scratchy like other brands.  I love it and again, feel like I have a hot sexy secret when wearing them.   Jason:  I love that Del loves them.    I still feel the design with the pouch looks silly.  Del loves them on strippers, they give me the church giggles.
DEL: 5 JASON 5

Cx12 Underwear Boxer.
Del:  These are our favorites.  We both love them and wear them often.  They are hot and comfortable.  Jason:  And with this cut, the pouch doesn’t feel as silly.
DEL 5 JASON 5 (they are really an 8 1/2 on me)

CX029 Brief with drawstring.
These were sent in XS, so we really can’t judge them except to say that they were really look great and the material feels comfortable.  We gave them to a friend and haven’t heard his response.  We thought they were swimwear and thought that they would probably only be worn on a gay cruise or a gay beach — but you would be a big hit, since they have the pouch to frame your cock.
Looks only from Del & Jason: 4

James Tudor has a really cool new pair of undies. They are the Magnetic Fly Brief! The pair was just released this week! The pair is done in the traditional James Tutor styling but instead of buttons they have magnets that hold the fly up. I haven’t seen many pairs of underwear that have used this technology before. It’s definitely interesting.

This just proves that underwear companies are taking risks and doing new things. This creativity makes underwear a lot more fun to shop and to wear. Gone are the days of simple undies, now we’re getting fun undies from James Tutor and more! Check these out and we’ll work on getting a pair to review!

You enter a department store and head toward the underwear section.  You are concerned about fit, comfort, style, and durability as you always are when choosing the right thing for you.  This trip isn’t for briefs, but for something else in the realm of underwear.  You know your size, but do you want something longer or shorter?  Do you want something in color, the original white, or maybe something with stripes or color rings?  When it comes to purchasing a good pair of socks, one has about as many options as when choosing a new pair of briefs.  Just the same, it all comes down to what the wearer expects and personal preference.

Here at UNB, we want people to know what’s out there so that a better choice can be made for the buyer’s comfort and in case the buyer wants to branch out and try something new.  First off, it’s important to know the different common lengths we find in stores:

  • Over-the-calf – This style of sock is the best for wearing boots because of their length, covering the calves of the legs.  Some people might wear these because they like to feel something tighter below the knee.  Companies out there are making more and more socks for those with blood vessel issues.  These are also seen many times on athletes, who wear them so wonderfully.

  • Crew – This style is worn by many athletes and can be said to be the most common.  The sock comes up to the calf or about midway the calf.  Many basketball players wear these with high-tops.  Some workers chose to wear these with construction boots as well when they do not want the full coverage of the kind above.  These were some sent by two Canadian friends a few years ago.  I ended up with two pair and I love them.  They were marketed in Canada to get people to have pride and cheer for their Olympic team.
  • Ankle – These socks used to be worn primarily by women when they first appeared in the fashion world, but luck would have it that men noticed the look of this cut and wanted it in their day to day wardrobe as well.  These are popular with athletes wanting less material on their legs, students that don’t want to wear “un-cool” fashions, and everyday people who want summer comfort and style with shorts.

  • Low-cut or no-show – This style of sock is somewhat new within the past few years for men. Again, it was primarily worn by females.   Mainly worn with low-top sneakers, these socks give the impression of not wearing socks with shoes.  Many shoe brands are making a lower top on their sneakers and people do not want the extra sock material above.  Some say they can and cannot wear these because of how little material there is, but once again, we see this as a personal preference.

The choice of sock definitely depends on what you will be doing when wearing them.  For instance, my father was in the timber industry for most all his adult life.  Many of his socks were the gray, over-the-calf socks with the wide red band around the top.  They were designed for those that would be on their feet doing strenuous work.  Construction workers are guys we are familiar seeing wearing this kind of sock.  We’ve seen many pictures of that from the 80s.

In the coming up articles, I will be discussing the different activities linked to socks, materials they are made from, the various fads we’ve seen in men’s socks, and what good places there are to find them. Stay tuned for more sock love!
