Today’s Brief Distraction is from PPU. This is a series we are running this week. You may find these are some of your favorite online retailers this week. This is the stripes brief #1009 in the PPU catalog! We hope you enjoy.
This brief has a wide elastic at the waist embroidered with the brand, made in a smooth horizontal thin striped pattern material has enhancement cup with cut in the center-biased in contrasting color that goes as well around the legs. Composition: 81% Nylon, Polyester 9%, Spandex 10%.
I love getting new thongs to try and was eager to spend a day wearing the Ryocco thong. The fabric is a really soft feeling fabric. It was great to wear to the gym because it was so light. I loved the black, grey, and white camo print.
The design has some great things and some not so great things. I would have recommended any person that is interested in trying a thong to try this one because of the design of the back of the garment. Most thongs are a skimpy back and most guys would be embarrassed if they were caught “whale tailing” out of the back of their jeans. The Ryocco thong is designed with coverage on the back that looks like you might be wearing briefs if your underwear peeks out of the waistband of your pants. It sounds a little strange to say but I would describe this design as a full coverage thong.
I normally wear thongs very often to I was surprised when I noticed that when at the gym I had a bit of discomfort with the actual strap of the thong. My only complaint would be that the strap is too wide. While working out I felt the strap fold in half. It wasn’t so uncomfortable that I was miserable but I did have to dig in my gym shorts to adjust it.
Would I wear it again? Yes. I don’t know if I would wear it to work out in again. I would wear it on a night on the town under my jeans. As a matter if fact its time to get dressed to go out…….
PROS
- Soft fabric
- Fun print
- Full coverage in the back
CONS
- Thong strap too wide

Lace underwear for men? When I posted on the UNB Facebook page, there has been only one other time we had more comments about a topic. The other topic was Tim Tebow. Lace Underwear was one of those things that many of the guys said they would never wear lace underwear for men. The comments were overwhelmingly negative.
Before I get into the review, I want to say that it was an interesting pair to review. When I first saw lace undies for men, I had the same reaction as the Facebook fans. “I will never wear those.” I told myself. However, in the last year my feeling for lace has changed. It went from I will never wear them to, HMM maybe I need to give them a try. That’s when MalePower sent Lace Underwear to UNB.
I was really worried when I got them that they wouldn’t hold their shape all day. I mean how much support could you get from a pair of lace underwear? Well, I got some great support. The fabric is 85% nylon and 15% Elastane. Which made the pair a lot more giving then I thought.
The sizing is pretty much typical American sizing. The pair I received fit and wore very well. I was surprised how well I liked them. I figured that it may ride up, drive me crazy in the pouch but neither happened. All in all they are a great pair.
If you are interested in lace underwear, I would suggest this as a starter pair. It wasn’t very expensive. It retails for $15 at many retailers online. I have seen other pairs for more.
Pros:
- Fit very nice
- Is a different look
- Great price
Cons:
- Not sure where you would wear them (the gym is out)
- Needs to be available in more colors
- Some people may not like to see guys in Lace

Are you a fan of 2(x)ist? If so there is a new line out now! It’s called 2(x)ist Touch. It looks like a basic line. Meaning there is not a lot of colors. However, the construction and fit is supposed to be amazing. I hope to get an interview with 2(x)ist about the line very soon. Here is what they say about the line:
Meet the all-new 2(X)IST TOUCH, a thoroughly modern underwear collection that feels as seductive as it looks. With advancements like 2(X)IST Wicking Tech that keeps you dry, an engineered fit for confidence, and the Ultra-Contoured Pouch that boosts and enhances, TOUCH is a line with something for every man now and for the future.
Feel Like Yourself in TOUCH by exploring the collection, including the Ultra-Contoured Pouch Brief, No-Show Brief, No-Show Trunk, V-Neck, and the welcomed return of the Boxer Brief, all at 2XIST.COM.

This is something Andrew Christian mailed out today. If you are a subscriber to his email list, then you have already received this letter. It seems that YouTube removed his video for TOS violations.
Here is what Andrew Christian sent out:
Dear YouTube,
Your removal of our video “Pink Paradise” and two week block of the Andrew Christian YouTube account has left us feeling unsettled.
There are thousands of videos that target the heterosexual audience currently on YouTube that show blatant female nudity and sexual scenarios with millions of views. (The video links below are examples of the double standard.)
Our video was meant to be a fun way to feature our new line of underwear. We’re disappointed and confused about its removal for inappropriate content when there are hundreds of thousands of videos featuring overtly sexual female imagery. We are a company that only produces menswear, and it feels unfair that our ads are held to different standards for featuring the male body.
There is no doubt in our mind that there would be no issue if the exact same video was posted with female models instead of male. Are you being homophobic or is it something else?
All we request is for our account to be unblocked, and the “Pink Paradise” video to be restored with its original view count so we may continue to regard YouTube as a fair and balanced outlet for reaching our audience.
I am curious as to what you guys think about this issue. I want to hear from both gay and straight guys. Did the video go too far? Did YouTube go too far? Let us know your opinion
Below the fold is a list of videos Andrew Christian posted to show the double standard.
Have you ever wanted 3D underwear? Ones that just POP, well now you can have some. Skiviez is selling the new Calvin Klein 3D trunk. It comes in three different styles. The styles are Factory Print (left), Logo Cube (middle) and Pipes (right). Each pair comes with it’s own pair of 3D glasses to use yourself or share. They are not cheap, retailing at $34 a pair. However, they will make a statement. The 3D undies are popular as well, the only pair in stock now is the Logo Cube. Keep checking back and I am sure they will be restocked soon!
Today’s Brief Distraction is from UnderGear. This is the new P.O.V. line that was just released. If you are a fan of longer boxer briefs you should definitely check these out. We hope to have a write up of the line soon.
NDS Wear known for their diverse line of men’s swimwear has done it again! What a fun way to kick off a new year by sporting my first pair of new swim wear added to my collection. This occurred earlier last week upon receiving these amazing, classic navy and yellow jammers. I took these out for a test run in the pool at my local gym and fell in love with these sporty briefs immediately. While I’m usually a trunk kind of guy even when it comes to swimwear, these are exceptionally well constructed and faltering to the male torso.
Whether you’re looking for swimwear for water sports, simply walking on the beach, or lying out at the pool, these have you covered on all accounts. First, the construction and fabrics used in this sexy jammer is what I’ve come to appreciate from this manufacturer. These carry a blend of 83% Nylon and 17% Spandex. This creates the perfect weight for ensuring these will keep their shape for seasons to come.
For me, perfect construction is a fundamental requirement of swimwear due to the relentless abuse and multi-function tasks that we require from a good pair of jammers. These Austin Jammers have a piping yellow contrast running from upper back side to front leg side with an additional accent white piping. Lined inside front and back and also carries an adjustable string for a tighter and secure fit. Great ready boys, these are going to make you head to the pool early!

Today we continue the Brief Distractions from ES Collection. We have posted a few great pics from them this week. They always do something really creative and fun!
When the opportunity to review a new pair of bikini underwear had arrived, Extreme generated a lot of initial thoughts one of which was trepidation. The mere word conjures up the idea of new innovation, wild and creative construction, technically advanced fabrics, and a look that’ll blow your socks off. Therefore, I had high expectations that this faux Python skin would live up to the wild and uninhibited image that the company’s name conveys. Once I opened the package, all my preconceived ideas went out the window and I was ready to embark on a new underwear adventure.
Let me just start by saying that these are the most comfortable and light-weight pair of bikini briefs I’ve sported in quite some time. Their first test run included wearing at work all day and then to the gym in the afternoon. Throughout the day, I couldn’t believe how amazingly cool and comfy this pair offered, while still providing all the needed support. With this type of underwear you typically expect just a sexy, hot bikini and with nothing else to offer with the exception of a good lay. However, the low-rise silhouette of this men’s Extreme bikini underwear provides a no-show waistband with a flattering contoured pouch.
This leopard-print faux snakeskin stretch bikini underwear from Extreme is construction with 93% Polyester and 7% Spandex materials. This bikini is definitely designed like a second skin and is a seductive style that makes and unforgettable impression. If you’re looking to release your inner animal instinct, you need to check these out.

My first impression of the RYOCCO dark blue stripe bikini brief from Colombia was, Wow! That looks just like some Unico briefs I have. With that said, this review may not bode well for RYOCCO, but we shall see. The design of the underwear features what the brand calls an “enhancement cup” instead of a pouch. Well, it is a pouch. Like so many other underwear companies, the focus is on creating a seam, or band, that creates a pouch by running from the waistband and down and around the package to pull the package up and push it out. This is a nice feature of newer pouch style underwear, but some go to the extreme in lifting and pushing forward. RYOCCO did a nice job on the pouch, but it is a pouch that many guys will not entirely fit into as it gives very little and is on the smaller side.
The fabric is 63.1% Poylster, 34% Cotton, and 2.9% Spandex. This selection of materials created a slightly stretchy fabric, but one that holds its shape and molds to the body. The seat and sides had large stripes while the pouch had smaller stripes to provide visual interest. The leg openings were small and tight which provided an uncomfortable fit. The rear panel was sewn in two pieces with a large seam that defined the buttocks well. The crotch was just the right width so that it would not bunch up and feel odd while wearing. Overall, I was not pleased with the fit and size Large was small for me as I can wear most any large perfectly.
I wore these on standard days of general daily activity and shopping. This bikini brief was not very comfortable and felt tight against my body. The fabric was soft with a nicely sized waistband width. My khaki pants and my jeans had no issue with clinging to the undies or pulling at them during the day due to the fabric. I found several sites offering this bikini for around $20. So, the cost is high for this pair of underwear. Overall, I felt this pair of briefs to be rather disappointing. However, I am certain that if you like Unico underwear, you will like these, as well, due to the fit and selection of styles they offer.
PROS
- Nice choice of varying stripes
CONS
- Pouch is small
- Cost
