Adding a little spunk to its boudoir, 2wink Australia has introduced its “Freedom Jock” jockstrap that is 50% jock and 50% brief!

The “Freedom Jock” design is modeled off of the brand’s 80’s-themed briefs, which were launched earlier this year, and which are now modified to include an inside “cock pocket” that lifts and pushes out, giving a larger look to one’s manhood. 2wink Australia is the first and only Australian manufacturer producing such a garment!

The 80’s inspiration was derived from bold pinks and blues matted against black that help the colors pop; which themes were common in advertising and clothing during the second-to-last decade of the last century. The Freedom Jock will have an exposed rear, and is made from 92% luxury soft cotton and 8% spandex. It retails for around $26 USD, and is available at www.2wink.com.au. Free worldwide shipping!

The votes are in and the winner of the Underwear of the Month for October is the Candyman Two Shades Jockstrap. This was our closest win to date. It only won by a few votes. We want to thank all the people who voted and here is why it won, according to our voters:

  • The Candyman Two Shades Jockstrap is red white and blue. It is patriotic. Politics peak in October. This pair of underwear is fitting.
  • The jock by Candyman is practical and at the same time adds a flair with the way the two shades are used. I enjoy wearing a jock all day at times and this would be one of the styles I would like.
  • A jock is always the promise of a good time whatever the side you choose!
  • It’s the sexiest and most eye-catching with the solid color bands and white trim.

Find these at your favorite retailer!

Big Boy Pants is a brand I have seen for a some time and one I really wanted to review. I love the styles and ergonomically design. If you are a long time reader you know how much I love underwear with great pouches. Some of my favorites in the past, which are similar to Big Boy Pants, Obviously, Cocksox, Ergowear and such. We received three pairs to review. The Mini Brief (this one), Lo-Rise Boxer Brief and Boxer Briefs.

It recently have begun a weight loss program of eating better and am down 50 pounds since the start.  So this is making some of my favorite undies too big for me. Which is a good problem to have. I now wear larges and they pairs they sent me fit me just perfectly. I am super happy to be back in a large. The material is a modal blend and is super soft. Modal really forms to the body and feels amazing. The pouch at first was a little strange to me, but I realized that that you need to make sure you fit snuggly in the pouch. After I adjusted it, I had no other issues with the fit.

The Mini Briefs are a bikini cut with a branded waistband. It’s higher cut on the legs and really moves with you through the day. I didn’t have any issues with the pair riding up. They make this claim on their website and I’m glad it held true! The pair also is one of those that fits so good you forget you are wearing underwear. Which to me is the best sign of wearing underwear. Because there is nothing worse than wearing a pair that constantly rides up or bothers you!

I would highly recommend this pair for anyone who wants ergonomically designed underwear. Its a trend in men’s underwear and one I am glad to see. Big Boy Pants really took the time to design a pair that would fit a man. The pouch has to be my favorite part, it just held everything in place and gave me the support I needed!

Pros:

  • Great ergonomic fit
  • Made from super soft modal
  • Higher cut that didn’t ride up

Cons:

  • Just make sure you are fit securely in the pouch

Ratings:
Fit – 4.5
Materials – 5
Construction – 5
Look – 4.5
Daily Wear – 4.5

Overall – 4.7

These were furnished for review by Big Boy Pants. They can be found on their site in 7 colors for £13 (roughly $19.40 but varies due to currency conversion).

If you read this blog then we know you love underwear. Wouldn’t you like to buy underwear and have some of the proceeds go to a  great cause? Well, 2(x)ist is doing just that with the Touch line! They are giving 15% off all the orders to the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation. The Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation supports Breast Cancer Research.

We got to talk a little to Jason Scarlatti about why they are giving back to the community:

“Our inspiration for the 2xist brand has always been a man who is sexy, masculine and confident – and there is nothing more sexy and that exudes confidence more than a man who is supportive for social causes.

Supporting the fight and education of breast cancer is common with female brands, but we wanted to offer men the opportunity to make a statement and show support. Earlier this year we had released the TOUCH collection, and during a weekly PR discussion we asked ourselves “what can we do to be a part of the fight against breast cancer.”  The answer was simple.  Our navy blue colorway, features a bright pink waistband.  It is a sexy and a candid way for men to show support.

There are 3 styles available for this offering. A no-show trunk, an Ultra-contoured pouch brief, and a no-show brief.  2(X)IST will contribute 15% of total sales of this program directly to The Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation.

We believe every little bit of effort, awareness and support counts and are eager to do more in the future.  Thank you so much for your interest and opportunity to talk more into this.  The items have been on sale for only one day, and we are seeing record high numbers. ”

Find these pairs only on the 2(x)ist website.
