Be on the Look out this week for the Guide! It’s coming….. Soon!
When I received this pair of underwear to review, the first thing that caught my eye was the extremely soft and lightweight Rayon fabric used in the construction of this sexy and stylish brief. Once again, Andrew Christian remains consistent with conduction, functionality, and fashion forward designs.
Upon further inspection, I immediately discovered the hidden ‘comfy cup’ AC refers to that is represented across many of his other styles. The horseshoe shaped inner cup is lined by soft elastic that gently aids in lifting and supporting the family jewels. Once you’ve experienced this unique and flattering construction for yourself, you won’t care to ever go back to the traditional brief. I wore these while on vacation in Palm Springs and let me tell you, these kept me dry all day long in the hot desert heat and provided the comfort and support I’ve come to cherish with the AC brand.
One other valuable component to these sexy briefs is the trademark “anti-muffin” elastic waistband. At approximately 1.75 inches (4.45 cm), it carries the signature Andrew Christian name along with sporty stripes. The tri-color waistband, along with the contrast stitching along the leg openings and on both sides of the pouch, adds an additional sporty look to the overall design.
In summary, if you’re hot natured and sweat a lot anytime you exert even the least amount of physical activity, then these cool, lightweight, and absorbent briefs are a perfect addition to your underwear collection and come highly recommended.

In the past week, I’ve tested 3 pair of underwear from the 2xist SLIQ (sleek) collection and, unfortunately, these are my least favorite. In reviewing any pair of underwear, I attempt to stay very subjective and open minded; however, these were a real challenge and left me somewhat disappointed. Typically, I find 2xist to be the leader and one of the top designers when it comes to men’s fashionable underwear that I fall in love with. These briefs simply don’t fit the bill.
Overall the briefs are well constructed and consist of the typical blend of fabrics which consists of 90% cotton and 10% Spandex. This 
provides adequate support, flexibility, and comfort but these unfortunately didn’t hold up during my test. To be more specific, the seam around the bottom of the leg would not keep the brief in place and I constantly had to adjust by pulling them across by ass. This wasn’t an issue of wrong size; I have a 31” waist and these were a medium size pair. I have to believe that they weren’t cut properly to cover the entire backside of my buttocks as it caused the fabric to pucker from the base of my leg up to the lower hip. Sorry 2xist, but you need to take these back to the drawing board.
However, I will acknowledge the fact that these briefs are very light weight and extremely comfortable and create a very sleek esthetic. In all other aspects, I wasn’t disappointed with how they supported my junk, which is actually one of their signature features with the SLIQ line. Their extreme contoured pouch offers more support and an enhanced natural profile.
In summary, I think 2xist may have to rethink their design or it could have simply been a case of a defective pair. I would have expected this to be discovered during inspection. I’m not suggesting that you totally disregard this brief but it might be something you look out for when testing out their new SLIQ line. These briefs are available in the following colors: Black (as shown), Sangria, Charcoal, and White.

Though it’s starting to get quite cold outside, there is still plenty of reason to spice it up inside. If you need some help finding spice, look no further than Croota. They are known for making awesome underwear and swimwear at an awesome price.
Surfers Paradise is a great pair of underwear. Not only does the fabric itself have a design but the waistband has one also. For me, it’s the little things that count and this is certainly one of those things. When you combine that with the witty sayings on the waistband, this makes it a great pair of underwear and something worth buying. Since there is so little fabric, there is little room for error and makes this underwear so so comfortable. It survived all day which is pretty hectic these days, so that’s saying a lot.
The Surfers Paradise is comprised of 95% Cotton and 5% Polyurethane. Although there isn’t much fabric on there to start, what little fabric is there is very very very comfortable. It’s a great pair of underwear, and if you’re lacking something creative in your drawer, you need to check the Surfers Paradise out. Besides the blue plaid color, there is also a purple color that deserves a look as well, even though blue is a waaay better color.

I was given a pair of Papi Cool Pass United Trunk – Mexico to review and was very excited as this was the first pair of Papi Underwear that I’ve worn. They were incredibly comfortable and showed off all the good things in life. When I first put them on, I heard a little stitch popping but never saw any evidence of it. I was a little concerned that I might have received a pair that was a too small for me but that was not the case. After several washings and wearings, I can say they have held up nicely. 🙂
These are great undies and I love the colors. My wife thought I was wearing Christmas undies because of the red, green, and white color scheme. When she saw the number on it, she realized they were a sports trunk supporting our brothers south of the border (in Mexico) and she really liked how they showed things off “south of the border”.
This great pair of undies hugs the boys and keeps everything right where it needs to be. There is a pouch front that gives good support and provides a great profile. They are made of 90% Polyester and 10% Spandex.
If you are looking for a great trunk and want something that would be great for the holidays then check out Papi Cool Pass United Trunk – Mexico. I’m thankful for the opportunity to try these and I really did fall in love with Papi! So check out all that Papi has to offer at http://papiinc.com/the–papi–store/. You won’t regret it.
