Review – CandyMan 9511 Thong

February 1, 2012 No Comments

Today, I am going to review the CandyMan 9511 Thong. This thong has a triangular cut out at the top of the front pouch as well as the rear strap. Much to my surprise, I receive a pair with a black waistband and nautical white/navy striped pouch! Loving everything nautical, I couldn’t wait to toss on these babies!

The construction appeared to be well done, although my OCD got the best of me seeing as the stripes don’t line up on the 93%Polyester, 7% Elastane pouch. Upon first test drive, I realized that one must dress in the ‘down position’ as the pouch wasn’t quite large enough and dressing ‘up’ would result in a potential ‘escape’ of the anaconda … If you know what I mean. That noted, The pouch cut out, when positioned correctly allowed for one to pull their ‘snake’ out, allowing it to freely hang while the boys remain nicely supported inside the pouch.

I wore this thong to work and out for drinks afterward. The pouch, being a little too small, required proper adjustment a few times during the day. The fabric, while descent, wasn’t the softest thing, which caused a little discomfort towards the end of the day.

Likes:

Good construction
Great pattern
Suggestive design.

Dislikes:

Pouch was on the smaller side
Cut out required one ‘dress’ down
Fabric wasn’t the softest

Candyman: Making Underwear FUN!

March 28, 2011 No Comments

If you are a long time reader of this blog then you know we have covered Candyman for a while. Ever since they came on the scene we have brought you some of the fun and wild creations they come up with. This year is no different. They have some really creative and fun pieces that include underwear and underwear costumes.

I will say the first time I saw Candyman, I knew it would be an instant success. It’s amazing how just a little bit of fun mixed in with underwear can gain such a big following. The pair that really convinced me was the cowboy costume they had at first, the one with the chaps. Now they have branched out into underwear but kept adding to the costumes line.

There are a few themes in the collection. They are cut outs, straps, mesh, zipper, suspenders and costumes.

Cut outs:
There are quiet a few cut outs in the collection.

The first pair if the Mesh Pockets boxer. It has two cut outs on the seat, that are filled in with mesh. It also it has cut outs on the side. The Mesh Pockets Boxer is available in white and black.
The next pair is the openings boxer. It has similar side cut outs as the Mesh Pockets Boxer but above the pouch it has a triangle cut out. I can’t recall the last time I saw this in a boxer. The pair has a fitted pouch. Its available in black and green.
Lastly is the Openings thongs. There are many different patterns/colors but they are all the same they have an opening in the pouch at the top and in the back where the strap meets the waist band. You can get this in camo, stripes and more!

Mesh
Mesh is something that has been going on in men’s underwear for about two years strong. It’s a trend that keeps on going.

They have the Mesh Boxer. Which are mesh with a solid pouch. If you are a mesh fan you will love these. They are available in black, blue, green and White.
Next up is Flake and Mesh brief. This pair has a mesh side and flake finish in either blue or Magenta. It kind of reminds me of snake skin but not over the top.
Candyman does underwear with shiny fabrics, and that continues with the Boxer Mesh with Metal rings. It’s Solid colors on the legs and mesh on the side with a metal ring in each side. Between the legs is solid black and looks pretty cool. I really like the look of this one.
If you are looking for a brief then you should try the Tull Brief. It has a solid pouch and seat but mesh on the sides. It’s available in green, blue or black. There is a similar cut with the Tull Thong.

Strips:

The Boxer Cross Strips. It’s a full pouch with strips that connect the pouch to the back. When you see it from the back it appears to be a solid boxer. Its a very interesting piece. It is only available in black.
Now be warned the straps are not for the shy. The Thong with Multi Thin Strips is not one you will find on the conservative scale. It’s a thong with a full pouch and straps that attach from the pouch to the rear strap. It’s available in blue and black.
Maybe you want something a little more conservative? Well the Net Brief is just a bit more conservative. But not by too much. Its another thong like pair with net look straps from the pouch around to the back.

Zipper
Zippers and underwear? Yes, and it looks pretty cool as well.

The pair that I had to profile is the Zippers brief. Its a brief with the Candyman waistband with a solid color with a zipper that runs from the front to the back. That is outlined in white on the black pair and matching gold on the gold pair.

Suspenders
Do you want something different and sexy? Then the Suspender line is for you. There are two different styles. The thong and boxer. Without seeing the pic you may ask what are these? well they are thongs and boxers with suspenders that go over your shoulder. They have a definitely interesting factor. These are not something you will wear to the office but they could be a lot of fun in other places. The thong has multiple suspenders and a more g string cut. Whereas the boxer has a fuller cut but other then the pouch the remaining material is mesh. The thong is available in white and black. The boxer is available in blue and black.

Costumes
A coverage of Candyman would not be complete without going into the new costumes. They are a lot of fun and can really spice things up!

The first new one is the Seductive Navy Captain. Which is a boxer brief with a blue/white pouch, solid white with red piping and captains wheel on the right let. You also get the cap and sailors scarf.
The Naughty Officer is one if you like police. It’s a boxer with blue, of course, and mesh back. on the left leg is a badge print and the pouch is detachable.
Super Hero Outfit. Now if you want to save the world then you should see the Super Hero Outfit. It’s a boxer with a utility belt looking waistband, red brief and blue legs. It also comes with a cape.
Fix My Engine Handyman. If you have ever wanted a sexy mechanic now is the time to get one. It’s a boxer with suspenders in grey. It even has a pouch for your tools.
Vampires are all the craze lately and the Men of the Night is a vampire costume that vampire cape and a black boxer that has a detachable pouch with bat wings on it.

This is whats new with Candyman. It’s a very interesting and diverse collection. Candyman is made for guys who want to have fun with their underwear. That includes the bedroom with the costumes. If you want something different and not conservative then check out the new Candyman line! We will post the pics of the line on our Facebook Page this afternoon!

Year of the Jock, 2011?

February 25, 2011 No Comments

I am back from Magic/Curve and I must admit it’s a great time but it wears you out. I know you are saying “you go talk to underwear makers/designers and see underwear models, what’s so hard about that?” Well, the amount of walking in Las Vegas is mind blowing. I am always worn out after the shows.

One thing I really noticed was jocks. I have seen them around but they seem to be a lot more prevalent this year. Most of the collections I saw had at least one jock if not more. There seems to be a rebirth going on for the jock.

Collections where I saw jocks are:

These are the ones I can come up with off the top of my head. Jocks are no longer the Bike #10 traditional jock. They are made out of mesh, spandex and sometimes lace. Jocks also have lace up pouches (like shoes), more then one strap and cross between briefs and jocks. If you had asked me a few years ago if you could improve on the jock, I would never have guessed all the innovations designers have come up with.

Then you have companies that have built businesses on jockstraps. The two that come to mind are Jockstrap Central and McKillop U/W. Jockstrap Central is your main store for anything jock related. You name it they will probably have it in jocks. Last year they scored the extremely hard to get Bike #10. They wouldn’t tell me how they did it but I know it wasn’t easy! Second, McKillop U/W has done some amazing work in designing new and great fitting jocks. They have color, an amazing pouch and even new materials. They are doing some great work and if you love jocks I say you try them.

This week alone we saw the release of two new jocks. The first was from Bone Wear and the second was from Pipe. It seems each week we see more and more jocks. That is the reason I pushed this post back to Friday. I was going to post it on Wed but the release of two jocks in one week kind of made my point.

Am I alone in thinking this? Have you guys seen more jocks? What innovations have you seen that you loved? Leave a comment here or on Facebook and let us know!

We love it here when there are new takes on classics in the world of underwear. It now makes me think of new ways to do the tighty whities! Hey if it can happen to jocks why not tighty whities?

The pic at the top is the new Pipe Jock, which I forgot to include on yesterday’s post for Pipe.

Review: Candyman Air Force Marshal

December 8, 2010 1 Comment

Ties make everything better, it’s a fact. Guess what? This pair of underwear comes with a tie. I feel like I could end this review right here simply because of that awesomeness. However, as awesome as that may be, there is more to this underwear to just a tie and you’ll see that below.

The underwear (and tie presumably) are made of 93% Polyester and 7% Spandex which is rather comfortable and the shiny look makes for an interesting feel – a feeling that you’ve always got to adjust yourself. That feeling aside, it has a great look and that black shine gives it a very sexy look. The added gold rank indicators increase the sexiness factor tenfold. Another thing about Candyman boxerbriefs is that they are somewhat large. They are about twice as long as a Gigo boxerbriefs and they aren’t tight fitting if you have a standard waist size. This may be good to some and bad to others. It’s really up to you on how to take it.

Candyman has an interesting feel. It is “Costume Underwear” so you might not want to wear it during the workday or during an intense workout. However, if you’re just relaxing, preparing for Halloween, or a random costume party, then this is the perfect underwear for you.

UNB Holiday Guide 2010

December 5, 2010 No Comments

Welcome to the 2010 UNB Holiday Guide! These guides are a lot of fun to do, but a lot of work! We start in August contacting all the companies involved, and then have it sent to the photographer, having everything shot then put up on the site. The pairs included are some of what we think will be great gifts for the man in your life or some just for you!

This guide was shot by the awesome folks at NorCalBodz. If you are familiar with our guides you have seen their work on our site. They have done our previous guides and we have profiled them in many Brief Distractions. The models we used in this guide are: Jordan Preston, Rob Patrick, Erik Rossi, Corey Christiansen and Matt McCaleb. We want to thank them and NorCalBodz for doing an awesome job for us.

Now with out any further waiting here is the guide for 2010!

Frank Dandy

Frank Dandy is a brand that was created to combat the world of boring solid colored underwear. They are known for their innovative patterns and designs. This brand is not for the reserved guy. If you want to express yourself in your undies as well, then you need to be checking out Frank Dandy!

Left to Right:

Jordan is wearing the Hayman Raspberry boxer brief
Middle is the De Crillon camo boxer brief
Rob is wearing the Men’s Tiger Boxer Brief

These pairs were furnished by Kingston Loungewear

Mundo Unico

Mundo Unico is a line that mixes both classic styling with sexy design. The brand has focused on making some of the best designed underwear on the market today. It its a man very well and gives great support through the day. Then they add in colors, prints and patterns to let a man be comfortable yet stylish in at the same time. It’s a brand where form meets function!

Left to Right:

Jordan is wearing the Boxer Urban Pulso 7173
Right is wearing the Boxer Corto Vivaz 7174

These pairs were furnished by Mundo Unico

Pipe Underwear

Pipe Underwear hit the underwear scene a few years ago. They make a splash with their innovative photography and designs. But, they didn’t sit back and relax. They have come out with a new line that from the first look is very conservative, but has some great styling. They are using blacks and whites but they aren’t the boring undies of the 90’s. The use of piping and silvers turns the lines into something fun. Pipe Underwear is definitely a brand you should be following!

Left to Right:

Left is wearing the Silver Racing Square Cut Brief
Erik is wearing the Black Racing Square Cut

These pairs were furnished by Pipe Underwear

WildmanT

WildmanT was one of the first to produce enhancing underwear. Two years ago they created the Ball Lifter (R) technology and since then they have come out with a range of underwear to really show off what you have. As their website says “All our products create the fullest package possible while maintaining style and comfort.” If you haven’t been to their site you should go. The owner and creator WildmanT aka Tim, is the model as well!

Left to Right:

Erik is wearing the Sonic with Ball Lifter (R) C-Ring
Rob is wearing the Arrow with Ball Lifter (R) C-Ring
Right is wearing the Captain Brief with Ball Lifter (R) C-Ring

These pairs were furnished by WildmanT.

Timoteo

Timoteo is a brand that is really taking off. Known for their incredible photography and great fitting undies, they have taken the underwear world by storm the last two years. It’s very interesting how the line started. Timoteo was head designer at the Baby Phat line created by Russell and Kimora Simmons. He left there and in 2001 created his own store in West Hollywood. He concentrated on men’s clothing but in 2006 he introduced swimwear and the rest is history! The TIMOTEO line recognizes great fashion but also understands that style, fit, and comfort are the key to its success.

Left to Right:

Left is wearing the Classic Red Briefs along with the Angel Wings Necklace
Rob is wearing the Wave Racer Swimsuit

These pairs were furnished by Timoteo.

McKillop U/W

McKillop U/W is one of the new kids on the block. They were furnished last year and their main focus is jocks. We have many readers who love jocks and wear them exclusively. The head designer and owner Ryan wanted to create a line of “Jockstraps and Pouches for the men who demand comfort and style without padding and branding being the main focus of the underwear.” McKillop uses colors and mesh to really give a new look to the traditional jock! If you are a fan of jocks you need to give McKillop a once over!

Left to Right:

Matt is wearing the Power Flip and Reveal Pouch
Corey is wearing the Power Extension Jock in Blue
Corey is wearing the Power Extension Jock in Black

These pairs were furnished by McKillop U/W

N Haven is a line from UnderGear. Undergear has several private lines that are being redesigned from the ground up. I got to meet with them back in August and I’m really excited to see what they do. We are featuring the Fall Boxers here. They are all a fall/winter theme that is perfect for lounging around on a winter night. We are featuring two pairs here but you can see more at the UnderGear site.

Pikante

Are you ready to get WILD? Pikante‘s new line that came out is all about animal print. I know what you are thinking but these aren’t the 70’s tacky animal prints, they are fun and sexy. They range from the traditional (Tiger, leopard and more) to newer and innovative prints (Owl Feather, snake and blue tiger). It’s a really fun and sexy line. Glad to see someone doing animal prints right!

Then, they have some really interesting approaches to taking a classic like a jock and turning it into their own. They don’t follow the regular rules of underwear. They see something and put their twist on it. That includes jocks, bikinis and thongs. Its great to see a company that is doing their own thing.

The lines would include: Utility, Snugfitseamless and Finelines. So, they are for the true underwear lover. If you buy your underwear in packs of 5, then Baskit isn’t for you.

DMK Designs

DMK Designs is a brand we have covered since the start of the blog. It was founded by Diane who is a former Vegas show girl who went back to school to get her MBA and started a men’s underwear line. Diane wanted to create a line because she was tired of men seeing bad underwear. She has come out with some really fun lines. Those included the animal print made out of unexpected colors. Which were some of the most innovative I have seen. She is now working in mesh and has created a pouch that doesn’t have a seam down the middle. I know we will see some really fun and creative designs from her soon!

Left to Right:

Left is wearing the Down Under Enhancing Jock in Coral
Right is wearing the X-Lo Swimmer in Peacock Blue

Gregg Homme

Our last brand is one that is bringing sexy back to the world of men’s underwear. That line is Gregg Homme. They are one of the most innovative with mesh. The current lines are one that really shows off everything. From their site: “Design is a dialogue of ideas: it appeals, speaks or creates controversy and GREGG HOMME constantly innovates with unimaginable designs and functionalities to feed the insatiable taste of men for provocation and seduction.” This includes using the latest in technology. The example of this is the Bandito line. The shirts and underwear have cutouts with mesh. The fabrics are fused together rather then sown. They are a brand positioned between lust and fantasy.

Left to Right

Left is wearing the Predator Trunk
Center is wearing the X Rated Maximizer Jock
Right is wearing the Bandito Brief

These Pairs were furnished by Gregg Homme.

We hope you enjoy this guide. We will have another one just in time for Valentines Day! We will give you some great ideas for the perfect pair to wear or give your Valentine. I want to thank all the companies that participated and NorCalBodz and the models!

Review: Candyman 9525 Black Brief

July 14, 2010 No Comments

I have written an article in the past for Candyman. It was the seaman brief with the chain and anchor pattern. I loved the fit of that selection. This brief, known only as the 9525 brief, failed to deliver that same great fit.

The overall look of the brief is great. I can definitely see the sex appeal it would create. Actually, just before writing this article, a very handsome gentleman I’m acquainted with put them on for a little modeling session. I have to say with his skin tone, his lovely Italian body hair, and his great build, this pair of underwear looked fantastic and would easily take the breath away from any onlooker. The pouch, generously filled….the rear, greatly accentuated.

But, I digress. When I wore the brief, its construction seemed a bit far fetched. The back wasn’t as uncomfortable as the front. There is a stretchable seam that runs from the top of the pouch under and up to the waistband in the back. The seam sits neatly in the crack, but it irritates the manly parts in the pouch. It basically tells your rod, “Hey, pick a side!” For those men who are more endowed, the seam will serve as a nice attribute as it allows the pouch to expand outward. I felt it to be unnecessary for me and a cause for irritation. As with a previously reviewed pair of underwear, these briefs had to be taken off before I arrived back home.

The brief is made of 90% nylon and 10% Spandex, making a nice stretchy and smooth combination. The waistband is 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) and doesn’t cut in at all. That’s always good! Not taking the seam into consideration, the brief feels awesome. It is definitely a brief I would love to feel against me all day.

REVIEW: Candyman Fashions – 9526 Black/Red Boxer

April 30, 2010 No Comments

Candyman Fashions is one of the brands I have enjoyed working with the most during my span at Underwear News Briefs. Their unique take on styles, colors, and ability to push the boundaries of men’s underwear is amazing. They are probably one of the few companies that can make a pair of underwear look like plastic or leather and make them feel and wear like you have on your traditional cotton/spandex mix trunks.

I received the ”9526 Black/Red Boxer” in a size medium. Candyman Fashions often gets their ideas from role playing costumes and is probably better known for this unique take on underwear. Don’t get me wrong! I love a unique pair of undies. Sometimes, however, I crave something a little more subtle. Candyman has a great line of underwear that is just plain FUN to see and wear and you don’t have to get tied up in the whole costume look. The Black and Red boxer is one of those styles that’s not a costume…just simply a fun pair of undies. They feature a solid black front and back panel with a solid red 1.5” strip down both sides. Both the red and black have silver metallic specks woven into them to give these undies a unique shine and almost plastic or leathery look. This pair of Candyman also features a solid black elastic waistband with a contrasting white Candyman logo on the front.

These and many of the other styles from Candyman are great for daily wear, but these undies really shine when you wear them out on the town. The fit is great for all day wear, but the patterns, colors, fabric, and sex appeal are meant to be noticed. They are also able to add extra spice in the bedroom. I wouldn’t recommend wearing these to the gym or out for a run. I am not saying that you couldn’t, but I believe there are better undies for that. It would be best to let these eye catching undies be seen in the wild and not full of sweat while doing a squat workout.

Overall, I really enjoyed these undies. They add an element of fun and a little “something different” to my ever expanding underwear collection.

You can purchase any of the Candyman Fashions collection from a variety of online men’s underwear stores. The reviewed boxers retail for around $35 online. Check out my company write-up on Candyman to learn more about this fun and exciting underwear company.
