If you like a guy with an edge then Clint’s your man. Handsome, with the most stunning full color Tattoo running down his leg complete with sexy scars on his chest and face earned from a dangerous factory job working with scalding hot metal. Clint’s look is dangerously hot, but it’s just a look – in the studio, Clint turned out to be one of the nicest guy’s we’ve met.

With zero body fat, abs that are so defined they are actually concave and the most jockstrappable (or is that a jockstrap-a-bubble ) ass, Clint was the perfect candidate for all the Go Softwear Euro Mesh collection we just brought in. The best part is the stunning moire patterns from the mesh fabric running down his muscled chest.

We not only got him in the Euro Mesh, but also a few new Bike, Activeman and Joe Snyder jockstraps – be sure to check out our what’s new page for the new styles.

Our friends at His Trunks sent out an email about these yesterday. I think these are pretty awesome briefs. As you know I love briefs and prefer them over all styles. This pair I think is really cool and interesting. That is why we choose it as our Underwear of the Week.

These are by ManView, a company I haven’t tried before. I love the cut of these. They are a brief cut but smaller then a traditional brief. The next thing I love is that is like a tighty whity with the fly in the front. The last thing I love is the wider waistband with everyone’s favorite number “69” on it. The really interesting thing to me is the seam in the front. It looks like it has a fitted pouch. So it’s a mix of traditional and new!

This pair is available in four colors: Grey, Blue, White and Yellow. The sides of this pair is 4 inches wide and 2 inches of those are the waistband. Which I think it a good thing. It will fit well because there is 5% spandex mixed in with the cotton. They are available from His Trunks for $18. Check them out!

aussieBum has more new undies out! They have really been working hard at coming up with some great ranges (lines in the States!). They just released the Banana fiber line last week and now this line.

This range combines colour and comfort resulting in a perfect fit to set the tone for your day. You won’t have to worry about feeling dull in this range, as the spectrum of colours naturally reflect the  simple vibrancy of of the world – aussieBum style.

This model is Matthew Wilson – who recently won Australia’s Hottest Tradie Comp – he is a carpenter by trade…


We got a few pairs of Male Power to review, this is one the pairs. More will be coming in the next week or s. If you aren’t familiar with them, they are an underwear company know for some really wild and sexy designs. It can range from mesh, leather looking and traditional. So there is something for everyone.

I got the Male Power Zipper short, size XL, and thought first, that they look really cool. Then I thought, this is not going to be comfy with the zipper in the front. But, being the diligent reviewers and underwear lover I put them on.  I will say that I didn’t even notice the zipper. I thought for sure that it would rub and drive me crazy. The reason is I have had zipper underwear before and it rubbed me the wrong way and had to be taken off. But these really fit well and I didn’t’ notice the zipper.

I wore them for an entire day. I was really surprised by the fit. I have had some undies similar to this and as I have mentioned, and they were designed to not be worn long. These really had a good pouch and held everything in place. The only thing that did annoy me is that they would ride down in the back. Meaning they kept slipping down some. Not a great deal but just enough for me to notice.

These are perfect for a pair of date night undies. They are interesting so when the pants come off, your partner will notice it.

These can be purchased in either red or black. I reviewed the red pair. The price for the pair I around $19, and you can find retailers online or at a store near you on the Male Basics Website!

Today we have our first reader submitted Brief Distraction. The reader is Shawn S! Who is an aspiring underwear model. He posted a pic in our Facebook Fan Page this weekend and after exchanging a few emails, we got a few pics we’ll bring you. I think it’s awesome to have a reader in this feature. We are looking for other readers who would love to be featured!  The picture is from RMJStudios.com. But here is some info about Shawn:

I live in Washington, DC and enjoy modeling on a regular basis.  I’ve worked with some wonderful photographers along the way who’ve helped me achieve some of my goals, which have included commercial print and advertising, mainly underwear and fitness modeling.  I’ve done some fashion shows locally but would really like to see myself in an underwear ad, billboard, or on display in a large window for an esteemed brand or company.  I think I possess a lot of spark and enthusiasm, and I’ve been told to maintain this high energy level I display throughout photoshoots.  I have a passion for modeling and I hope it shows in my work.

So when browsing for a new pair of underwear what grabs my attention? What exactly am I looking for?

The obvious starting point is briefs or trunks? And to be completely honest the answer depends entirely on my mood at the time!

After deciding whether it briefs or trunks, the first thing that grabs my attention is colour – I love bright and bold colours. I try to avoid purchasing black or white underwear unless it’s a killer style or design. Aussiebum and Cin2U score highly for me on the colours front.

The next thing I look at is waistband design. I like funky colours or a bold design or both if possible! I love the CK steel waistband design as the silver colour with the CK name in the same colour as the underwear looks great in my opinion. Aussiebum have some funky waistbands – such as the bamboo and flaunt range – but the winner here has to be the 2xist optic range. The stunning, dual colour waistband starts with one colour and blends into another complimentary colour with a whole range of shades in between.

The final thing is the design of the underwear and whether it offers something that is a little bit different. This is not a huge deciding factor as I have plenty of traditional designs in my drawer but if the pair has a certain something, it usually seals the deal. I’m quite a fan of the seamless design of the Aussiebum bamboo range for example. The enhancing feature of the wonderjock range helped sell a pair – initially out of curiosity I must confess. That said, once I’d got a pair, another two or three followed – I find them very comfy and the extra little help always helps.

So there you go, a quick round up of what grabs my attention when buying my underwear! Feel free to let us know what you look for when choosing your underwear…
