When you think of underwear, what brands come to mind? I know 2(X)IST has been off my radar for a bit, not because they slacked off any, but there have been a few more brands on top of mind. When I went to look for a brief Distraction, I came across this picture of the Sliq line and realized that I needed to check them out again. It’s funny the phases we go through with brands!

Do not adjust your blog settings! This is the same UNB that you know, but I decided to mix it up and do something suggested this week on the podcast (HINT, the podcast is about white briefs.) Eric, aka TheJockerRoom, said he does a Tighty Whities Tuesday post, and I figured why not do one, too, but with a twist, pairs that I like.

One of the two white briefs I have worn over the years and enjoyed is the 2(X)IST Essential Fly Brief. The Fly Brief has the look of classic white briefs but the feel and fit of modern undies. I think these are the second “classic” looking briefs I bought. However, I don’t think I have any in my current collection that fit me.

Just like classic briefs, the Fly Briefs come in a three-pack. I was hoping you could buy one by itself, but it doesn’t appear these are available solo. 2(X)ISt does make the Contour Brief in single pairs. I highly recommend these briefs if you are trying to branch out and try some classics. Plus, all guys need to have some classics in their underwear drawer.

Get the 2(X)IST Essential Fly Brief at the 2(X)IST site. And listen to the new podcast on Thursday

It’s Jockstrap Wednesday. I love sharing a new jock I found with you guys! When I first decided to relaunch this segment, I wondered if there were enough jocks to choose from. There are many to choose from, from classic jocks to fashion jocks. This week I chose one of my favorite prints, Giraffe.

With 2(X)IST’s SLIQ Jock Strap, every season is party season. It is ideal for showcasing your assets and will draw attention due to its low rise and nearly-naked fit. With this incredibly silky fabric, you’ll always look your best and feel fantastic. Party all day long, guys!

The design of this fashion jock has super slim leg straps. Perfect for those who don’t like the wide-leg straps of classic jocks. The waistband is a traditional underwear waistband about an inch wide. The fabric of the Sliq jock is a 88% Polyester / 12% Spandex blend. Making this a jock that will be comfy for all-day wear to the office or hanging out. Could you wear it to the gym, sure, but expect many looks from others because of the design and print.

Get this pair at the 2(X)IST website.
