Want some great colors and a great pair of underwear? Then today’s Baskit $12 Tuesday is perfect for you. It’s the Simple Low-Rise Trunk. Available in a few great colors and just $12 today only
We here in the States don’t know much about this, but our friends in Latin/South American have known that wearing certain colors of underwear can affect your New Years. I think its a tradition we need to start here in the States
Yellow – Not a traditional color here, but it is said if you wear Yellow Underwear it will bring you good luck in the new year. Who couldn’t use a little bit of luck! So I just may break out the Yellow Cocksox Backstage Briefs!
Red – I found this out this year that wearing red underwear is supposed to bring you luck in the love department. If you already have an amazing partner/spouse, you may not need this one. But if you don’t then give it a try, it may be your year to find love!
Black – In many parts of the world it is believed that if you wear black underwear on New Years it will bring you bad luck. So maybe we don’t want to tempt fate by wearing black undies and stick with one of the colors above just to be safe!
Try these out to make your New Years a bit more fun and colorful! Let us know if you did one of these. Pictured undies are from Mundo Uncio Store
I had a friend tell me tonight he’s off to Cozumel for New Years! I’m jealous someone is going to be on the beach in speedos when I”m stuck in a cold city. But enjoy this amazing pic by Addicted swimwear by ES Collection.
It’s cold and rainy here today. On those types of days I am a Boxer Brief guy. Yes you heard me right I said I wear boxer briefs on cold days. The extra coverage keeps me warm on those days below 30 degrees. So because of the weather I wanted to profile a really fun pair of boxer briefs and that pair is the Varsity Crew Short.
These are part of the Varsity line they released a few months ago. Included in this line are long johns, Jock and super low. I love these for many reasons but the first is for the colors. They come in Blue/Grey/White and Red/White/Grey. The mix of the white and grey and the colored trim look awesome. But this is not all, the waistbands and trim make the pairs pop.
Timoteo does really great job designing underwear. The pouch on these are of a different color then the main body so it accentuates and draws attention to the pouch. So these would make a great date pair, or if you’re bold enough wear them to the gym!
Lastly, these are longer boxer briefs. The longer ones have really been a big trend this year. Timoteo has made some super fashionable over the knee boxer briefs. They are sporty but didn’t loose the fun factor.
These make for the perfect winter pair in my opinion. The Varsity Crew short gives your great coverage and an amazing design. So if you’re in the market for a great pair of undies then check out these from Timoteo. Each color is $31 at the Timoteo Site

Over the last year 2EROS has really come into their own. I remember their launching in 2006 with some great colors and photography. They really made me take notice. Jason over there keeps designing amazing undies that always surprises me. I got to try them for the first time last year and loved each and every pair. This time I get to try the Neo Jock.
My first impressions were it’s pretty cool. The color I got was the Red color. The mix of the black and bright color was an amazing contrast. The second thing I liked was the pouch. There is a fly that is fully functional at the top of the pouch. At first I thought this was crazy but after wearing it was really cool. I wondered if it would sag or not be functional through out the day. Another impression is the straps are lower then traditional jocks. It’s more a brief cut that is a jock, it’s almost full cut across the front.
I wore this pair for some errands and a busy day so I knew a jock would be perfect for the day. I slide the pair on and the straps take a little work. I’m used to the straps getting on right form the start, these took a little work to get in the right position. I had the worry that because it was different position it would be annoying, But once on they stayed in place and felt great. So, I want you guys to know the straps are a little different. The pouch is great. I even used the fly. Not to be crude but the waist band is high and to go to the bathroom I said what the heck, I used the fly and put everything back in and it never felt like it lost its shape.
The sizing is a little smaller then we expect but not really bad. I wear a 36-38 and wore an X-large. But double check the sizing charts. The fabric on these felt great. It’s a modal blend and really feels amazing. Modal has fast become one of my favorite fabrics for underwear. Because it’s soft and feels amazing!
One last thing I forgot about is there is a rubber tag in the back. It’s interesting and fun. I felt it a few times but to me it wasn’t bad. It’s a cool thing they added to make it a little more fun. So it’s mix of fun and fetish!
Pros:
- Great Color Combinations
- Incredible Modal Fabric
- Fly is fully functional
Cons:
- Straps may bother some – I found them good after adjusting
- Rubber Tag some may not like aesthetically
Ratings:
- Daily Fit – 9
- Sizing – 8
- Construction/Materials – 9.5
- Styling – 9.5
- Daily Performance – 9.5
- Overall: 9.1
This pair was furnished by 2EROS. Available for $32.95 at the 2EROS Site. I believe that is Australian Dollars.
2(X)ist is one of the mainstays of men’s underwear. They were around at the start of the men’s underwear revolution. Each year they continue to do great collections and make amazing underwear. This week they redesigned their site. It was a bit of a surprise when I found out.
They took their site to the next level. It’s very easy to navigate and find exactly what you want. One of the things I am loving is the filtering that is incorporated into the site. I hate it when I know what I want and color but have to sort through 200 selections. This site can sort by size, color and collection. So say you want a large, that is purple and in the Sliq Mesh line, and BAM there it is. This is under the styles
The individual pages are improved. The pictures are larger with a enlarged section as well. It is also easier to change and find colors, you can find the colors on the right side next to the picture.
I want to say great job 2(X)ist, and keep up the great work. Now go check out the new site !
You guys love Philip! So we thought we would share this pic of him in Andrew Christian undies. We hope you enjoy it!
Before you read this post, watch the video above from Tommy John! Ok now that you have watched, and I know most of you don’t care about women’s underwear, but it makes a great point. There is a double standard in men’s underwear. Its that men can get away with having terrible underwear, while women can’t. They are expected to always have good undies.
I also want to preface this by saying this is not just relegated to the straight market. There are tons of gay men who have incredibly horrible underwear. Granted we are known for being underwear early adopters, but for every guy who loves and cares about underwear there are 3-4 more who don’t pay attention to it and have underwear with holes and worn out elastic.
This here drives me insane. Usually when I meet a guy we make over the underwear. But it’s time we do this on a national scale. I have been racking my brain how to do this, show guys the days of bad underwear are just unacceptable.
We need your help with this project. We want all our readers to:
- Not be ashamed of your love of underwear
- Have honest conversations with friends about underwear
- Buy the underwear you feel awesome wearing
- Get rid of underwear as it wears out
- Experiment with different styles and fabrics
- Never listen to anyone who puts down your underwear choices
Lets all pledge to do this going forward and get every guy in amazing undies!

Most are still on Vacation and relaxing. But how many are doing this? I bet not too many. This picture is from Marcuse Underwear. Really fun pics and we hope you enjoy your Friday
Our friends at Designer Drawers posted this picture before Christmas. It got me thinking about being a kid and getting underwear when you really wanted toys and fun things. Now, the roles are reversed, how many of us would LOVE get get some undies under the three?
It got me thinking what would have been on my list for Santa in underwear. This made me wonder, who would you want underwear from? Knowing the guy who reads the blog, having your mother would rule her out. I don’t think many mothers would buy Gregg Homme or Cocksox for you. I think for this same reason family members would be rules out as well.
The most obvious would be a significant other. I think tho could go two ways. First they could buy us something they know we love. Outside of our selves the person we date/marry would see us the most in undies. I know when i do date i love to wear something super sexy at times to surprise them. Second, would be something they want to see us wearing. I think this is easier if they have a guy thats into underwear. I think most readers are adventurous and if our partner bought us a thong or something wild we would gladly put it on and show our appreciation.
The next is friends. A lot of my friends know I love underwear. They know about the blog and I have a few I would love getting undies from on Christmas. I have a friend who likes similar things as I do and think I would trust his gifting. However, if you’re in a relationship this could cause issues if someone gives you undies.
I am curious who you would you like to get undies from? Was getting undies an option for you this year? Lastly, if you got undies, who did you get them from and why did you get?
We love getting pics from Andrian C. Martin, this is a new set he did featuring Teamm8. Photos: Adrián C.

We want to with you a Merry Christmas. We had a very fun year at UNB and hope to have an even bigger year next year. We have some big things on the books, and one of them is a site redesign that should launch by the end of the first quarter. We think it will be a big step forward! Thanks for the support this past year and make sure you tell a friend about it next year. This is a pic is from our Holiday Guide featuring Mundo Unico!
We want to wish you a Merry Christmas from all of us at UNB. We had a lot of fun last year and enjoyed our Holiday Shoot. We have big ideas for the next one! We hope you got undies for Christmas. Thanks again to Matt Hill, Ignacio Rivera Jr., Mundo Unico, Wood Underwear, Great Deals, Frank Dandy and Good Boy Gone Bad!
It’s COLD! I wish I was on a beach somewhere, nice and warm and wearing this suit from Vuthy! I like a White Christmas but the day after I like it WARM!
Maybe Santa isn’t bring you underwear this holiday….remember the days when we didn’t want to get undies? This week if you want to get some great undies try out some of the great deals at Baskit! Today they have the Baskit $12 Tuesday but also have then pair of the week. Check them out on the specials page on the Baskit Site
I’m sad to say this is my last Gregg Homme review. I really love them and their take on undies. The previous reviews were for the Cowboy Thong and Baller Boxer. This time I have the For Play Brief. Anytime I get to put on a pair of Gregg Homme I always get excited to see what they have done. This pair was no different.
The pair I have today is the For Play briefs which are a fun low-rise pair. The pair has an interesting V design in front. Meaning, most briefs have a straight line where the waistband is, this one the elastic kinda wraps around you and then continues on to the leg band. It’s a fun design.
The material is similar to that of the Baller Boxer. It was very light and stretchy and conforms to your body and was semi-sheer. I think a bit more sheer then the Baller, but that could be because of this pair was black. The description on the Gregg Homme site is: The FORPLAY brief by Gregg Homme is a classic-coverage undergarment made from an elegant, stripe-textured semi-transparent hyperstretch material, featuring a two-tone folded elastic running diagonally above its center-seamed pouch. The FORPLAY brief has a center-seamed seat for added definition, ¼-ich waistband and Gregg Homme logo tag at back center.
I wore these around the house and errands and then a night out. During the day they fit great. My biggest concern was the pair was would be too low cut and would that bother me? Luckily it didn’t cause any fit issues. During the day I wore regular jeans but changed into the same jeans I wore out with the Cowboy Thong review. Being low cut and the low rise jeans were a perfect combo. Not once did the undies show over the waistband.
Sizing with these as I have said are spot on. You shouldn’t have any sizing issues they fit my 36/38 inch waist in an XL. But double check the sizing charts to be sure.
One thing I want to note about Gregg Homme. They make very well made underwear. They are pricy but they hold up. I think every pair I have ever bought is in my line up still. The materials and construction are some of the best in the industry. So when you get a pair you’ll have it for a while, so don’t let the price scare you off. I think the oldest pair is 3-4 years old and still holding up awesome.
Pros:
- Great low rise design
- V Front makes it super sexy
- Amazing Materials
Cons:
- Pricy for undies, but will hold up over time
- Semi-sheer so not for the conservative/shy guy
Ratings
- Daily Fit – 9.5
- Sizing – 10
- Construction/Materials – 10
- Styling – 9.5
- Daily Performance – 9.5

This pair was furnished for review by Gregg Homme. The For Play line has the brief in Black, White, Purple and Grey for $34.95. Also available in a string, boxer and t-shirt in the same colors. See more pics below:
Curb Wear has done some really fun things over the last year. One of them is the shoot they did on the London Tube. Those were some awesome pics! They continue to make fun pairs and now they have the Blow Me waistband. Before you could be Top/Bottom/Versatile but now this pair is for everyone.
I know this won’t be for some guys, but I think it’s just fun, could you imagine seeing this over the top of some low rise jeans and the look you would get?
This has been added to their Identity line. If you’re interested in some fun undies go to the Curbwear site and check them out.
This week we had a few Gregg Homme reviews. We just love the Cowboy Collection and hope you check it out and maybe pick up a pair or two for you!
Its not every day I get a pair of underwear that costs $100. Yes you heard me right, I got a pair of Frigo that retails for $100. Our friends over at Fresh Pair gave us this pair to review. So I was kinda excited to really put on a pair that has been profiled on the Today Show and other news outlets. This is a pair that I think will have a market but it will be highly specialized and those who wear it will love it and be worth every penny. Be warned this will be a LONG review.
The pair I got is the Frigo No. 1 Exclusive Boxer Briefs. The pair has been designed amazingly. When I took it out of the package the quality of the material was evident. Have you ever buy a pair of undies and when you feel them you know it’s high quality? That’s what I got with the Frigo. It was a very strong nylon/spandex blend. Which I personally love. I looked at the pair and there were air holes, mesh panels and a really interesting pouch. The mesh panels are not ones that are see through to show off but for cooling. This pair is designed for intense sporting activities. The technology behind the pair is amazing. You can tell they spent time on the pair. I was really excited to try the pair, but my question was, will it hold up to every day use?
I put the pair on and the first thing you notice is the pouch. It’s an interesting design that you put your junk, for a lack of better word, in and the pouch is adjustable. I forgot to mention that earlier, but you can adjust it to fit, so this is great for bigger guys. Adjusting is not bad and is done with a button rather then Velcro so it won’t slip or get messed up the way it does sometimes after a lot of wear. It took me a minute to get adjusted in the pair, but after getting situated it felts great. I will admit I’m not one for crazy pouch designs but this is something new, it kinda reminds me of Saxx but it’s a bit more advanced in design.
Boxer briefs are not my favorite style. One of my biggest gripes is that the legs ride up and loose their shape. Nothing can ruin a pair for me more then legs bunching up and having to pull them down all day. This pair avoids that by the implementation of silicone on the leg openings. It grips your legs and the pair won’t ride up. I was a little worried it would grip too tight or rip the hairs out of my legs but it didn’t. I’m telling you the thought put in this pair just blows my mind. Frigo did some research on how to make underwear for men!
I hear you saying yeah this is a great review but $100 buck price tag is hard to over look. I hear what you’re saying. I think these are for guys who are athletes or heavily involved with more intense athletics. I really see this taking market share from UnderArmour. I say this because they have engineered this so well and a lot of the UA gear I have tried doesn’t have a lot of support, especially the boxer briefs. So, basically I see them as a high end athletic brand, which I think will do well.
Ok back to the review. I wore them around the house and errands. Which I don’t think did the pair justice. I should have gone out to run a marathon, do cross fit, or a triathlon. The FreshPair.com site says guys wear it for every day. As I said the fit was amazing and felt great. These will be in my everyday wear let me tell you.
The pouch I liked, but like I said make sure you get in the pouch. Through out the day I would forget and have to go back and adjust. So it will take a little bit of work to make sure its all good. But once in it I had no issues at all.
The nylon/spandex material just fit well. Ok, not well I loved the feel of these on. They are basic black and if you were to wear them to the gym or else where you’d never get a second look. I said above that there were mesh panels. Which are on the side of the legs. They are the same black and it’s a sports mesh not a sheer mesh. It will keep you cool but not draw attention to you in a locker room. Most probably wouldn’t notice the very well engineered undies. They would think they were just run of the mill athletic undies.
Sizing in the pair was pretty spot on. I’m at an odd size I maybe could have gone smaller but that’s more on me then the Frigo. The legs have a tight fit and the pouch isn’t a bulge pouch, meaning it won’t show off and enhance what you have but support it. It may sound odd but I enjoyed it. As with all undies, make sure you double check the size guide before ordering.
This is the longest review I have ever written for UNB but there is so much about this pair that you can say. It seriously has blown me away the work that was put in this pair. The workmanship and material definitely justifies the price tag. I don’t think you will be disappointed.
Pros:
- Amazing technology and design
- High quality materials
- Innovative pouch design
- Silicone on the leg to prevent riding up
- Classic styling
Cons:
- High price tag may turn guys off
- Maybe too athletic for many guys daily wear
- Only available in black, if you’re a guy who loves color
Ratings:
- Daily Fit – 10
- Sizing – 10
- Construction/Materials – 10
- Styling – 9
- Daily Performance – 10
- Overall: 9.8
This pair, as I said was furnished for review by Freshpair.com. Frigo has a lot more pairs then just the $100 pairs, they also have T-shirts and other boxer briefs for around $30. Definitely check them out if you’re an avid sportsman.
