I was lucky enough to receive a package of a few pairs of C-IN2. One of the pairs was the Yoga Plan Short.  Have you ever wanted a pair that moves with you? Well this line was made for yoga and should be able to bend and stretch into any position you can get into.  I have tried many other sports brands and they never really kept their form through out the day.

I put these through their paces at work.  When I put them on hoping that they would keep their shape. Like I said many times before, a few other brands the legs stretch, ride up and make me want to take them off as fast as I put them on. The material is 86 Nylon; 14 Spandex blend, when I put it on it felt great. It wasn’t too tight and restraining but rather felt just right. The short also has a wider waistband then the usual C-IN2, about 2 inches thick. The short really held its place through out the entire day.  Honestly it felt like I wasn’t wearing underwear at all. This is saying something since when I wear boxer briefs they are usually noticeable some how though out the day.

There is only one con to the entire pair that is not a defined pouch. A few times through out the day I noticed it but it was pretty rare. Part of me wondered if this is done this way due to construction. I don’t think you could have a defined pouch and have the great fit. It’s only a minor complaint.

Here is the area where it really impressed me. I wore the pair to bed. If you are like a regular brief guy like me , wearing a boxer brief to bed could be horrible. However, this pair didn’t ride up when I slept. Its rare I wear a review pair to bed. C-IN2 has made a really great pair of underwear. I wouldn’t recommend it for daily wear but if you’re big time into yoga or other similar activities then I can almost guarantee you will love them.  They are a little pricey but is about the same price as some of the other sports underwear on the market. The higher end UnderArmour and Nike.

Pros:

  • Amazing fit
  • Great construction
  • Feels like you aren’t wearing underwear

Cons

  • No defined pouch
  • Could be pricey for every day wear

Ratings:

  • Fit – 4.5
  • Materials – 5
  • Construction – 5
  • Look – 4.5
  • Daily Wear – 4.5
  • Overall – 4.7

 

C-IN2 furnished these for review. They can be found in black and blue for $60 on the C-IN2 website .

We got a chance to catch up with Geovanny. We first saw him at Magic a few years ago. He has released a new line and we got to ask him a few questions about the line.

We have seen you grow over the last two wears; can you tell us about your new collection? How does it differ from the previous collection? 

Well yes…I’m back …after being gone for a year and half for school (cosmetology) I’m so excited for the new collection. The new collection has a sporty gym look and feel to it. I love working out and staying healthy. That’s where the inspiration came from for the new Geovanny Sport collection. The new collection has several new designs and is mixed with mesh fabric for a cooler and more breathable comfort level. The colors are a mix of red black and white. Cool warm and bold.

What got you into designing underwear? 

I became an underwear designer after being an underwear model for almost 10yrs. I paid attention. I always wanted to have some type of fashion collection and underwear seemed like the most logical choice. I had the fist Gay Male strip show and was designing costumes for the show and that helped me a lot when I started design underwear. I worked with “Jocko” Mr. Michael Lee for about 6yrs …everything from modeling to selling …. It was a great experience.

I think you have really great designs that show off a guy’s body, how do you get inspiration for your designs? 

I wanted to have a collection that brought everything together with out lacking the other. Comfort, Sex appeal, and the modern man. I’m a dancer so comfort and durability went right in. All off my designs are signature pieces for my collection …very few out there can say that. I’m a very sexual creature …so sex sex! Had to be in there! The Garter Jock the #1 selling Jock in the world. There is nothing sexier. Combining the classics with what’s hot now…example …escallop side split on The Geovanny brief inspired by the classic 70s running shorts combined with the power pouch for more pronounced packaged for the modern man.

Your photography is fun and sexy, you model in them, do you also direct the shoots? 

Yes … that’s one of the most fun things about the whole experience, and I do model in the shoots as well. Its one of the things that makes my collection so different and unique from the others … I didn’t go to design school …I’m not rich.m just someone who has lots of dreams and likes making them come true. I’ve always told my friends …after everything I’ve been through ….. If I can do this… imagine what you could do. 🙂

What is your favorite piece from the current collection? 

That’s not a fair question, that’s like asking a mother witch one of her kids does she love the most. …lol… well if I had to choose I would say I’m very happy the way the new Kevin Retro Runner turned out.

What is next for Geovanny? 

Well I just came out with a fun new Gym line with t-shirts that are sooo cool and answers the everyday gym question …What are you working on today??? Check out the new gym shirts from Geovanny sport. “Chest Day”  “Back Day”  “Arms Day” and ” Legs Day” …Stay focused. I’ve also designed a very sexy girls piece as well. I have lost of girl followers and they are very excited about it.

The one thing I love about UNB is the ability to try new brands of underwear. Over the last few years I have tried brands I never would have heard of any other way. Many of those have become my favorites.  I was given a pair of MyPakage as a gift. It is not my usual style of underwear, but the pouch intrigued me.

The Boxer Briefs are made with the patented KeyHole Comfort Technology. “The 3-dimensional internal pouch provides both unparalleled support and comfort. By cradling the male package, our KeyHole Comfort Technology™ allows absolute freedom and eliminates the need for any shifting and adjusting.” Which makes a really interesting pouch design. I was kind of skeptical but as they say looks can be deceiving.

I received a large and to me it seemed to be a little big. I am just about to be back in a 36 in waist. The large fits 34-36 inch waists, which seemed to to be almost a little too big fit . The material is a 93% Modal and 7% Spandex, making it really soft. The fabric composition was one of the favorite things. The KeyHole Comfort is another great great feature. The pouch that is created is an ergonomically designed one. It really gave good support and held up through the day.

My biggest complaint with boxer briefs is they ride up in the legs. This pair did ride up but it wasn’t too bad. If they had a little more elastic in the waistband legs, this problem could be solved. No other major complaints for this pair. I wore these at an active day at work. They held up nicely.

Pros:

  • Super Soft Materials
  • Great patented KeyHole Comfort Technology pouch

Cons:

  • Legs bunched and rode up

Ratings:

  • Fit – 3.5
  • Materials – 5
  • Construction – 5
  • Look – 4.5
  • Daily Wear – 3.5
  • Overall – 4.3

 

You can find these at the MyPakage website. They also have a list of retailers as well as an online store.
