Its all about undies. Do you wish you could share your undies love with your favorite blog? Well, here is your chance! Just kidding, but we are conducting our Annual reader survey. This helps us in many ways. First, it will help us develop content. Seeing what you guys like and don’t like. It even track them over time, which styles get popular and go out of style. A new addition is fetishwear. It’s something we want to cover more, but want to track you guys like best. We will continue to bring new trends and brands as well.

Next we share some of the data with brands to help them formulate promotions for you guys. We have had promotions in the past that we told the brand it won’t drive traffic. Now we have the evidence that it won’t move the needle. I know you guys LOVE sales! Lastly, we will share the info with you guys. It’s always fun to get a peek in another’s underwear drawer!

Take our survey below and if you’re on Mobile use the link rather than the embedded form. The Google Form has issues on mobile we have been told.

Here is the first of the Real Guys on UNB. jets83  submitted these pics. Here is a little about him.

  • Location: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
  • Stats: 34 years old.  5’10” 90kg . 36″ waist

I have enjoyed underwear for about 15 years.  Cannot recall what attracted me to try something other than the standard briefs/trunks that were available here in Australia.  I think it could have been seeing something on TV.

For a long time, I hid my underwear from everyone.  Over the past 7 years, I have been more & more comfortable in my choices & not hid them as much.  My partner has allowed me to be even more comfortable in my choice of underwear.

I wear thongs on most days of the weeks, jockstraps come in second.

I wear them as I find them comfortable & are also a way to feel sexy.  A small way to show that I am comfortable in my own skin & the underwear the I wear.

I post pics of myself on a regular basis on my twitter which is @jets83

What would a Gregg Homme line be without some super fun pairs? By super fun pairs, I mean ones that take underwear and redesign them in a fun way. The Conquistador uses gold buttons and strings to create some pairs that you are used too. However, it’s got the sexiness factor turned up to 11.

I hear some of you saying, yeah the gold buttons are a nice accent. They are more than an accent, they are fully functional. Meaning you can unbutton them where ever they are. This could mean easy to put on or even easier to take off. Match that with the semi-sheer material and you have a super sexy line.

The line comes in a Jock, Thong, Brief and Boxer briefs. The only one missing is the string, but when you see the thong, you could say it’s a string! Each one of the designs given the Gregg Homme Conquistador twist. As you can see in the main pic the three buttons on each side can be removed. The jock, the straps button on the small waistband. The others have very similar design functions.

The only colors in this line are red or black. Which is perfect for the line. The red/black combo is my favorite. The pair just is set off with the black trim. It reminds me of some something ancient Roman or Greecian. A pair you could see an ancient warrior going into battle. Or maybe it’s me projecting the movie 300 in my mind.

Have you wanted to share your love of underwear with us at UNB? Now is your chance. This will help us tailor content, share with brands (to get more reviews, pics and news), and even share the results with you guys. I mean, if you could peek in another guy underwear drawer wouldn’t you?

We are only collecting emails if you want to share your story or want more info about it. It’s 100% options. Outside of that, there is no collecting names, social media handles or any other identifiable information. Making it this way I think we get more honest answers. You can be free to share everything and no one will ever know!

Las Vegas is one of my favorite cities on the planet. It’s a city that is always on the go and never stays the same. Come back six months after your visit and things are different. One thing that stays the same is the most iconic things in Las Vegas is the Welcome to Las Vegas sign! When you mix Las Vegas and swimwear, I consider it a total win.

A new company to UNB is Medinna. It’s a brand out of Columbia that I discovered on Instagram. I”m telling you, if you love gear and you’re not on Instagram you are missing out! Their designs have always been amazing but when I saw this one, I was blown away. Just like Vegas, this pair is over the top. I mean, the bright colors and prints behind the Las Vegas sign are fully to be expected!

This is a full cut swim brief. Meaning that it’s about 2-3 inches on the side. The back is a fullback and not the “Rio” cut. I mean with this print you don’t need to show off any more skin. A ton of eyes will be on you at the pool/beach. But it you wear this pair you’re not looking to be low key! It’s over the top, bright and just fun!

We can’t always go middle of the road on swimwear. We need to blow it out sometimes. Show you guys something super fun! Swimwear should always be fun and make you feel super sexy. If I wore this on the beach I would hope it would gain attention! If Las Vegas isn’t your town they also have swim briefs for New York, Hollywood and Miami! But be warned they are just as fun as this pair!

Pair: Medinna BAÑADOR SW-VEGAS
Color: Print as shown
Fabric: 87% Poliéster/13% Elastano
Sizes: Small – Large
Price: $28.00(not sure with the conversion)

If you are a long time reader of UNB, you know every year we do a reader survey. It’s usually in May but this year we are doing it in July! You maybe asking why are we doing a reader survey?

  1. Helps us make content you guys love reading
  2. Gives us data to show brands the success of our posts
  3. Helps us reach new brands with data and demographics of readers
  4. It gives you guys a look into other readers!

This year we have changed things up a bit. Instead of a long list of questions, we have broken them up to different pages. It’s just as long but the pages/sections will break things up. More questions are click a button rather than fill in a long or detailed response. After three to four years of data, we have the main choices in a lot of categories and you can still write things in the other section.

One thing to note is we are not getting any identifiable information. We are not collecting names, emails or phone numbers. So you can be 100% honest and no one will know who you are! I know many do not want to let the world know they love gear.

One question we are asking is if male or female. Our Google Analytics says that more women are reading the blog so we want to see how many will fill out the survey.

We will be sharing the results. Now that the survey is less interpretation, it will be able to be reported a lot sooner than previous years.

Brief Talk – Body Image Talk with ScruffyGear & UndiesGeek85

This is a start of an ongoing series on body image an underwear. UNB Tim is joined with Andy (ScruffyGear) and Erik (UndiesGeek85) for a talk about our own body image and the overall topic of body image. 

We will have brands, readers and more on very soon! Its a topic that deserves more than one show. 

Find ScruffyGear at http://www.scruffygear.com

We talked about real guys this past week. One company that uses guys of different shapes and sizes is Jockstrap Central. They always get their own models. It’s a diverse group of guys that shoot. I have several favorites over the years. But this is Matthew in the Cellblock 13 Ward 13 Swimmer jock.

“Cellblock 13 just expanded their sexy Ward13 Swimmer Jockstrap collection to include new black and white versions. We go our French-Canadian model Matthew to model them for us.”

 

When you think of a jock, its always in the traditional design. Reckless by Ron has taken the jock and made something really cool! The Seamen Underjock is a mix of a jock, brief and harness. Well, that’s my take on the pair. The line always has super fun looking bondage pairs. They may not be designed that way but they remind me of super hot fetishwear.

This pair has a brief cut. The pouch is made out of silver prismatic metallic lycra that ties into the leg harnesses. the rest of the brief is a white mesh. So you show off a bit, but this is not a pair you cover up and don’t show anyone. It screams to be seen. If I put this on I would have a specific person and purpose for the pair. It wouldn’t be worn under jeans to work.

The sheer creativity of Reckless By Ron amazes me. Yes, that’s a pun. They are doing something that is a mix of leather/bondage and club. It’s taking what some people call boring, since a lot of times it’s black or dark colors. And then putting bright, metallic and different colors in one.

This is one of many amazing styles you need to check out!

Pair: Reckless by Ron Seamen Underjock
Color: Metallic/WHite

With our Reader Survey around the corner, we always ask about real guys in underwear. This could be our guys brave enough to drop their pants and take a few pics. Or regular guys on the internet showing off. It’s time we really start promoting the real guys on the site. This was sparked by a convo for the Brief Talk Podcast coming out this week, with ScruffyGear and UndiesGeek85. Two amazing guys who put themselves out there!

One thing that we have been known to do is a Brief Distraction. This showcases a brand, store, photographer, model or real life reader of the blog. It’s not just some random picture. It’s tied to the underwear industry in some way! Mostly it’s pics I think are amazing from brands and a link to the pair to buy. I want to get to the point where we can do at least one real guy/reader pic a week. I would be super excited to have more!

So what can you do? Fill out our form below with your email so we can contact you. Once we contact you share with us some pics and give us permission to run the pics. We can post your picture in one of two ways. The first is a link to your social media accounts. To help you gain followers and share your love of underwear. The second, to run the picture under a pseudonym without contact info. No worries that you can’t post it under your own name. However, we will need to know your name for permission but it will not be released to the public.

I hope you guys will be up for sharing pics of yourself in underwear, swimwear, spandex/workout wear and fetishwear. Maybe a little of all the above. One thing is we need it to be PG-13/R rated pics. Thongs and the back are ok but nothing 100% sheer or sexually excited pics (you know what I mean) or sex acts being performed. We will let you know if we can’t use your pics due to these issues.

We will start surfing throughout social media accounts and asking guys if we can post pics as well!
