Another fun pair of Candyman Fashion underwear I chose to review was a brief.  These have a very supportive black pouch with the rest in a black and white zebra strip pattern.  Everything about this brief was comfortable.  There was no binding and a lot of support.  It was fun wearing them as they are sexy and nobody knew I had them on until later that night when my wife saw me undressing for bed and showed her appreciation.

Some day I hope to take a trip to the African safari and see zebras, elephants, giraffes and lions.  These undies remind me of the things that are wild and free.  Maybe when I go on my safari, I’ll take this awesome pair of undies and show a little bit of my wild side – one never knows. 😉

These undies are made of 92% Polyester and 8% Spandex.  They are stretchy and supportive and oh so comfortable.

Candid is a new brand to me and as much as new things scare me, I wasn’t afraid at all to try this amazing looking pair of underwear.  Simple and plaid pretty much spell perfect to me.  This pair is pretty dang close to perfect.

New things may scare me, but they are also in some ways exciting.  I guess you would call it the thrill or maybe being blindly bold.  Granted, underwear isn’t life or death, but if you’ve ever had a bad experience with say…zippered underwear, then there is a just cause to be afraid.  The pair I received, black and pink plaid, were not scary looking at all and they felt great as well, thanks to being 95% Cotton and 5% Spandex.

Want to know how they survived during a normal day?  Like normal, I wore the undies before I reviewed them and I also put them through the usual routine.  They passed with flying colors with no bunching.  There was one thing that was intriguing though…the waistband.  I find most waistbands to be pretty stretchy.  This one is not.  It’s set in its way!  I was worried about it before I put them on, but after they were on for a while, there were no problems at all.  Pretty much golden!  Go ahead and give this great pair of underwear a try!

Candid provided me with this pair of underwear to review.

If I say, “costume underwear”, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?  A giant pair of briefs for a Halloween outfit or is it a whole brand of underwear that is unrivaled in its creativity?  If you picked the second one, then there’s a good chance you have heard of Candyman Fashion.  They don’t make your standard underwear.  They make your outrageous underwear.  If you love to be the center of the attention at a party when your pants come down, then I recommend you read on to learn about quite possibly the most exciting underwear known.

What makes up the perfect party underwear you ask?  It’s simple: 92% Polyester, 8% Spandex, some screen-printing, and some foam ears.  Put all of that together and you’ve got yourself the Elephants Tusk underwear.  You may think that foam ears may be uncomfortable or create an awkward bulge in your pants, but they are neither.  I actually found the ears to be arm support when you’re reading or working on your laptop.  Some serious creative points go to Candyman for that.  You probably have one other question.  If it’s elephant themed, where’s the trunk?  Let me answer it this way…there is a hole in the front.  Use your imagination!

When these arrived, I saved them for Friday and decided they would be my casual Friday pair.  For the most part, they were pretty comfortable.  A little loose, especially at the legs, but other than that, there was a fair amount of support.  I do see the screen-printing coming off after a few washes unless you are extremely careful washing them.  The support stitching that connects the ears to the rest of the pair seems skimpy and something to keep an eye on for sure.

Though there are the good and bad points, the goods do make this pair well worth the cost for the smile it will bring to everyone seeing them.  If you enjoy flaunting your underwear, then you NEED these.  If not, these will certainly get you to that point.  Candyman has other pairs that have a little less 3D to them, so be sure to check back at UNB the rest of the week to see the reviews on other underwear styles they have to offer!

I was pretty skeptical when asked to review undies from Male Power.  I am not use to extreme undies and, to me, these were EXTREME!  When I received them in the mail and showed them to my wife we were both pretty skeptical.  She thought they were going to be extremely uncomfortable because of the material.  I haven’t tried many thongs but I was given a pair of Grip & Rip Thongs to review from their Extreme Collection.  I thought, “Okay, I’ll give them a try and keep an open mind about the whole thing.”  With one eyebrow raised, I put them on and wore them all day.

I was concerned about the Velcro bothering my skin or getting caught on other articles of clothing and coming undone.  That became a non-issue.  I was also worried about placement, but that was soon dismissed.  The thong fit nicely and, I must say, it was an all around good experience.  The material was a comfortable “cire” – which was new to me.  I had to adjust the way I “ride” in undies as the pouch was a little low and the grab strap did not help keeping things in place.  I would not recommend these for all day wear as they would be best for a special, plan ahead to wear, event.

Put on the Male Power Extreme Grip and Rip Thong, grab a strap, and hang on tight as it will take you for a wild ride!  These are made of matte finished polyester and spandex with an added tear-away front pouch for easy access.

Thanks to Male Power for sending these for us to try.  I really enjoyed the Extreme experience and so did my wife later that evening!

I’m sure at one point in your life, you’ve wanted to be a doctor, nurse, or wear a white coat with the purpose of helping people.  If that career path didn’t work out, there is always hope of being another kind of nurse: a Knockout Nurse, thanks to Candyman Fashion.  Simple, eye-catching, and useful; these three words define the Knockout Nurse underwear to a tee.  From the rhinestones to the pouch and the red and white theme, you can’t go wrong with this pair.

92% Polyester and 8% Spandex and some rhinestones are exactly what the doctor ordered.  When mixed together, you have the perfect cure for boring underwear. They are equipped with a pouch…a very large pouch actually, and to be honest, I wasn’t accustomed to pouches.  You never know how handy pouches are until you don’t have them.  Another feature of this pair is the rhinestone RX on the side, not to mention the White Cross on the opposite side.  This pair has no problem getting attention.

When I tried them on, I noticed that they are pretty snug and there isn’t any riding up.  They are a pretty comfortable pair of underwear.  To my surprise, there wasn’t an issue with the rhinestones, which I actually figured would be a problem.   I was presently surprised when it wasn’t.  This pair survived a full day of class, lying around, and the gym.  They held up like a champ.  I would definitely recommend this Candyman selection.

Male Power is a designer of sexy underwear for the modern man.  We find from their company website that they were created in 1974.  I never would have thought they had been around for that long.  It was only a few months ago that I first saw a pair in a catalog.  They have been shown in various publications during their company lifespan.  Out of their vast collection, I was given the Tattoo Mini Short to review.

This was the first pair made by them that I have worn.  Immediately after putting them on, I realized that sizing was an issue.  I normally wear smalls and that’s what I was supplied.  If you are on the upper end of their size ranges, get the next size up.  Male Power smalls are 28-30.  There were other issues that would have been present other than the size.  Even though they were a little snug, they were fine to wear in the beginning of the day.  I chose to carry on with my review and hope for the best.

As you can tell by the picture, the waistband is almost non-existent.  The waistband measures .86 in (2.22 cm).  I, personally, am used to a wider waistband because of the cut-in issue.  The same material is used in the leg openings.  I, like many of our readers, have thick thighs and need more forgiving material in that area.  Over the period of time I wore this pair, the piping material began to cut into my thighs.  I can’t deal with this on any underwear and so I took them off halfway through a work shift.

The material used to make the mini short was a great choice.  I loved the feel against my skin.  The material is made of 85% nylon and 15% spandex.  This combination allows for a bit of stretch.  There is a pouch design incorporated into the front of the short.  Whether that allows for enough room is per the individual.  It was OK with me.  I’m not really a fan of the print, but that is totally up to the wearer.  Some of the seams should be looked at when producing the product as there were some spots where the stitching was questionable as to how long it would hold out in daily wear.

As long as the size works with the wearer, I don’t see any problems with daily wear.  The material is comfortable and it gives a fair amount under normal circumstances.  The care instructions advise to wash in cool water (no bleach) and tumble dry cool.  It would probably be better to simply hang them to dry.  I don’t know of anyone that drys anything cool.

If you would like to try a pair of Male Power underwear, you can purchase them from many different sites including http://www.abcunderwear.com or you can buy them in retailers in your area.  In the Atlanta area, I know that Poster Hut carries a large selection of Male Power briefs, thongs, and other styles.

These shorts were provided by Male Power for our review.

Everyone and everything has a modest side and Candyman Fashion is no exception. The 9515 Boxer is one of their more modest pairs and even someone as exciting as me needs a break now and then to enjoy some simple, but enjoyable, boxer briefs. Though I did say simple, they are quite shiny and in the right light, they are a little see-through.  When you have them on, you don’t have to worry about anything being seen.

This pair is made of 90% Nylon and 10% Spandex, all of which is again, very shiny, almost a little too shiny for my likings.  Since I wear pants over them, it’s not that big of a deal.  There is a simple design on the front of red horizontal stripes on the legs that connect to a black pouch, all with a bit of glitter to them.  Surround that with a silver background and you have yourself a modest pair of underwear.

When it comes to actually wearing the pair, the 9514 is a little loose and it has an interesting feel.  I can’t really put my finger on it, but it’s a tight feel, even though the pair is somewhat loose.  Don’t let that deter you, however, from giving the 9514 a try.  They are still a great pair of underwear.  If you would like a good fitting, comfortably simple, and modest pair, I would certainly recommend that you go and buy the 9514 Boxer!
