Bodysuits are having a moment, and I’m absolutely here for it. I love seeing brands blur the lines between masculine and feminine design, giving guys more freedom to feel sexy, confident, and completely themselves.
The Camo Viper Bodysuit captures that energy perfectly. Made in the USA from four-way stretch Lycra, it fits like a second skin, while breathable camouflage mesh panels show off the body without giving everything away. Reflective piping traces and enhances your shape, and the cheeky thong cut brings a daring finish that’s impossible to overlook.
The bodysuit can be tricky to size, but if you’re tall or have a broader chest, consider going up one size for the best fit.

Chris, better known online as the Crimson Ginger, returns to Brief Talk for a one-on-one conversation with UNB Tim about something that looks easy from the outside but takes a surprising amount of work: consistently posting underwear pics online.
Chris has been sharing his underwear pics for about six years, but even he admits that what looks like a perfectly consistent posting schedule isn’t always what it seems. He and Tim talk about creating a backlog of photos, posting pictures days—or even weeks—after they’re taken, and why delaying posts can be a smart move for both privacy and personal safety.
From there, they get into the actual process behind Chris’s pictures. Chris shares how he uses his iPhone, Apple Watch, a Bluetooth remote, a ring light, and the three-second timer to get his shots. Surprisingly, he doesn’t take hundreds of photos looking for the perfect one. Usually, it’s a simple front, side, and back—and he’s done.
But taking the picture is only part of it.
Tim and Chris discuss the pressure that can come when people start expecting daily content. Followers asking, What are you wearing? Why didn’t you post today? Where’s today’s picture? can quickly turn something fun into another job. Chris talks about trying to keep posting enjoyable even when work, relationships, and everyday life get in the way.
They also get into something that doesn’t get discussed enough: boundaries.
Chris is comfortable showing off, but he still respects the boundaries he and his partner have established around what gets posted on certain platforms. It’s a great example of why communication matters when you’re in a relationship and sharing underwear, swimwear, gear, or more revealing content online.
Plus, Tim and Chris talk about being your own worst critic, finding poses that work for you, losing social accounts, keeping years of photos on your phone, social media privacy, and one very important rule:
Never casually swipe through someone else’s camera roll. You have been warned.
It’s a fun and candid conversation about what really happens behind those underwear pics we scroll past every day—and a reminder that there’s an actual person with a life behind every account.

Chris says Instagram is the easiest place to find him, and his Instagram profile links out to his other social accounts.

We all know I’m a big supporter of Spandex Party. First, it’s a great community for spandex lovers to meet, connect, and share pics of their newest and favorite gear. It has quickly become one of my favorite places to interact with other guys who share the love of spandex. If you haven’t created an account yet, what are you waiting for?
The other thing I love about Spandex Party is that they’re taking gear that I know many of us have loved for years and putting a sexy spin on it. Their latest gear includes the Wrestling Singlet, Pro Wrestling Singlet, Full Body Swimsuit, and Mesh Trisuit.
I’ve been saying for years that I wish someone would take real athletic gear and make it sexy and fun. Give us mesh panels, bold colors, extra zippers, and all the other little details that take something from purely athletic to something a spandex guy will immediately notice.
For me, part of the attraction to spandex has always come from seeing real guys wearing actual gear. I still remember the first time I saw a guy wearing a skinsuit in person, and it was amazing. (Unfortunately, he wasn’t into spandex the way I was!) I think many of us, myself included, first got hooked on cycling kits, trisuits, wrestling singlets, and other actual competition gear.
It’s almost like Spandex Party has been listening to me, because they’ve started creating exactly the kind of gear I’ve wanted to see for years. They just had a new drop, and there are some seriously hot pieces in this collection.
Wrestling Singlet
The Wrestling Singlet is probably one of the most recognizable pieces of spandex gear out there. There’s just something about a singlet—the way it fits, the way it moves with your body, and, of course, the way it shows off the body underneath.
Spandex Party’s version gives you that classic wrestling look with a very snug, compressive fit that hugs everything from your shoulders down through your legs. The 88% polyester and 12% elastane fabric has plenty of stretch, but it still has enough tension to give you that tight, second-skin feeling that singlet guys love.
The smooth construction keeps everything clean and streamlined without distracting from the shape of the suit—or the guy wearing it. They even suggest sizing down if you want an even tighter and bolder fit. Whether wrestling is actually your thing or you appreciate wrestling gear for entirely different reasons, this is a great take on the classic singlet.
My Take: You guys know I love a singlet, and the colors here are so much fun. The new white, pink, and blue versions are amazing. And don’t worry—the red one is sticking around. I love that these still look like actual wrestling gear while giving us colors that make them a little more playful.
Pro Wrestling Singlet
If the Wrestling Singlet is the classic, the Pro Wrestling Singlet takes things in a slightly different—and definitely more interesting—direction.
It’s inspired by the gear you see in professional wrestling, but Spandex Party has added partial mesh construction that immediately gives it more of a gear and fetish edge. The mesh makes the suit lighter and more breathable, but let’s face it: the subtle see-through quality is probably going to be the part that gets most guys’ attention.
You still get that tight, body-hugging wrestling silhouette, but the combination of solid and mesh fabrics adds another dimension to the look. Made from 85% polyester and 15% spandex, it has plenty of stretch to stay close to the body while letting you move.
This is one of those pieces that can look legitimately athletic at first glance while having a completely different personality when you get a little closer.
My Take: This takes the traditional singlet to the next level. These really have the look of an actual team suit, right down to the Spandex Party branding on the leg. I think they’re super fun. It’s that combination of authentic-looking wrestling gear and something made specifically for guys who really appreciate wrestling gear that makes these work for me.
Full Body Swimsuit
This one immediately takes me back to the late ’90s and early 2000s, when full-body competition suits started taking over swimming. If you remember those incredible sharkskin-style suits, you’ll understand exactly where Spandex Party is going with this one.
The Full Body Swimsuit uses a thicker, slicker fabric made from 80% polyamide and 20% elastane, giving it much stronger compression than some of their lighter gear. That means you’re getting that amazing, completely wrapped-in-spandex feeling from top to bottom.
The textured surface gives it that unmistakable old-school competition skinsuit appearance, while the full-body cut creates one long, uninterrupted spandex silhouette. I also love seeing this style come back as gear because full-body swimwear has always had a certain appeal beyond the pool.
If you love compression, slick fabrics, and being completely encased in spandex, this may be the standout piece of the entire new collection.
My Take: This one was an immediate “OMG, NO WAY!” for me. How many of us remember the full-body suits competitive swimmers used to wear? Then the rules changed, the full suits disappeared, and the guys eventually went to jammers.
I probably know 10 or more guys who have one of these old-school suits on their gear wish list. Even though you don’t see swimmers competing in them anymore, Spandex Party is giving us the chance to get that look again. For those of us who remember that era of swim gear, this one hits all the right buttons.
Mesh Trisuit
The Mesh Trisuit may be the piece that best represents what I love about Spandex Party: taking something that looks like legitimate athletic gear and pushing it firmly into gear territory.
At first glance, it has the classic one-piece triathlon silhouette, but instead of standard performance fabric, the suit is made from a semi-transparent stretch mesh. That changes everything.
The 80% nylon and 20% spandex material hugs the body, moves with you, and gives you the tight one-piece feeling you expect from a trisuit, while the mesh lets a lot more of the guy underneath become part of the look.
There’s even minimal triathlon padding built in, so it retains some of the feel and construction of actual cycling and tri gear without the bulky padding getting in the way when you’re wearing it for other reasons.
It’s sporty, revealing, and just a little naughty—which is pretty much exactly where athletic gear and spandex fetish should meet.
My Take: This is the kind of skinsuit I want! The mesh panels aren’t 100% see-through, but they’re revealing enough to show off and give the suit that sexy edge.
I know some guys have said they don’t like the Spandex Party branding on the gear, but I actually think it adds to the look. Think about how much real cycling, triathlon, and racing gear is covered with team names, sponsors, and advertising. Why shouldn’t this have Spandex Party across it? Plus, you’re supporting and representing a great community for spandex lovers. I say wear the branding proudly.
Final Thoughts
All in all, I think this is an amazing collection, and I hope Spandex Party keeps producing gear like this for years to come. What I especially love is that they aren’t completely reinventing what spandex gear should be. They’re taking the athletic gear many of us already love and asking, “How can we make this a little sexier and a lot more fun?”
That’s exactly what I’ve wanted to see.
There is one downside right now for those of us in the United States: tariffs. I spoke with Simon about the current situation, and he told me U.S. customers are currently facing an additional tax of around 40% when ordering. He’s working on the issue and looking for ways to make it easier for those of us in the U.S. to get our hands on this incredible gear.
Hopefully, that gets sorted out soon because there are definitely a few pieces here I want in my gear drawer.
In the meantime, check out the Spandex Party shop, take a look at the new collection, and let me know which piece you’d pick. For me, that Full Body Swimsuit is going to be very hard to resist.
Underwear should be fun, and ever since the demise of Ginch Conch, we haven’t had one that did over the top prints like them until now. King Briefs is filling a voice that needs to be filled. They have announed the launch of their Kick Off Club line that features football themed briefs. Now you can feel like captian of the team wearing these. Check out the entire collection.
We are almost at the end of summer, well the unoffiical end that is, and if you need some last minute swim thongs then N2N Bodywear has the Laguna Micro Thong, which is perfect for throwing in your beach bag. This thong comes in white so you can show off your summer tan. It also comes in orange, Gold, and champagne. Check out this thongs and many more.
For this week’s guest on Stretching the Truth, it began with childhood curiosity, gymnastics leotards, and the growing popularity of spandex sportswear. Years later, one memorable trip into a fitting room finally gave him the opportunity to experience Lycra for himself.
That experience changed everything.
In the newest episode of Stretching the Truth, I sit down with LycAddict, a German gear enthusiast whose passion has grown into an impressive collection of cycling suits, soccer kits, leggings, singlets, bodysuits, cosplay gear, swimwear, and more.
From Curiosity to a Lycra Collection
Like many guys in the Lycra community, LycAddict began exploring his interest privately. Once he moved into his own place and had the freedom to buy and wear what he wanted, his collection quickly expanded.
Today, half of his large wardrobe is devoted entirely to spandex. His gear is organized by category, with separate spaces for soccer kits, cycling suits, singlets, cosplay, swimwear, and other favorite pieces.
We talk about how easily a collection can grow when you discover new styles through Instagram, Spandex Party, and other members of the community. One picture can inspire a new outfit, and suddenly the credit card is coming out again.
Why Fabric and Fit Matter
Not all spandex is created equal.
LycAddict explains why material composition is one of the first things he checks when buying gear. We discuss the difference between inexpensive Lycra and higher-quality fabrics, along with the disappointment of waiting weeks for a suit that does not look or feel as good as expected.
If you are beginning your own collection, LycAddict offers a smart suggestion: start with secondhand gear. It can be an affordable way to experiment with different fabrics, styles, cuts, and brands before investing in more expensive pieces.
The conversation also covers favorite cycling brands, daily Lycra underwear, shiny full-body suits, wetsuits, latex, and the challenge of getting into a suit with a zipper running up the back.
Lycra as Everyday Clothing
Lycra is not something LycAddict saves only for pictures or special occasions. He wears it every day.
He has replaced traditional cotton underwear with Lycra underwear, wears comfortable sports gear around the house, and incorporates leggings and performance clothing into gym outfits. He especially enjoys combining soccer kits with Lycra, creating an everyday athletic look with something tighter and more exciting underneath.
Cycling gear also gives him the chance to wear Lycra publicly while using it for its intended purpose. There is something special about getting outside, enjoying the gear, and seeing other cyclists doing the same.
Finding Confidence Through Community
One of the most important parts of this conversation is LycAddict’s experience with the online spandex community.
He initially joined Spandex Party to look at other members’ pictures. Eventually, he decided it was time to contribute. Although he worried about how people might respond, the reaction was positive and welcoming.
That encouragement led him to create an Instagram account, share more of his collection, and connect with even more gear enthusiasts.
His message to other guys is simple: wear what you enjoy, show what you want to show, and wear it proudly. You do not need a particular body type to look great in Lycra.
The gear may bring people together, but the friendships, encouragement, inspiration, and sense of belonging are what make the community matter.
Listen to the Full Conversation
This episode is for anyone who loves Lycra, cycling kits, soccer gear, singlets, leggings, bodysuits, wetsuits, or shiny performance fabrics. It is also a great introduction for guys who are curious about spandex but have not yet taken their first step.
If you enjoy the episode, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with another guy who loves Lycra. Every listen and share helps us reach more members of the community and continue telling their stories.
Wear what you love. Wear it proudly. Join us for another episode of Stretching the Truth.
Think your story isn’t interesting? That’s exactly why we want you on the podcast.
One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is:
“I’m not interesting enough.”
“I’m too shy.”
“I don’t have anything important to say.”
“I don’t wear anything wild.”
“I’m just a regular guy.”
That’s the point.
The podcast has never been about finding influencers, models, or the loudest voices in the room. It’s about the guys who make up this community every day.
The guy who discovered briefs again after years of boxers.
The cyclist who loves his Lycra but has never told anyone why.
The first-time thong wearer.
The lifelong Speedo fan.
The guy who’s still figuring out what he likes.
The husband, dad, college student, retiree, gym rat, office worker… every one of us has a story.
Here’s something I’ve learned after hundreds of episodes:
The conversations people remember most aren’t always the wildest ones. They’re the honest ones.
When one guy shares his story, another listener realizes they’re not alone.
That’s how communities grow.
Pictures on social media show what someone wears. Conversations reveal who they are.
If you’re shy, that’s okay. Most guests tell me they were nervous before we started. Within a few minutes, it feels like two friends talking. There are no gotcha questions, no judgment, and no pressure to be someone you’re not.
Our goal isn’t just to make another podcast.
It’s to build a community where men can openly talk about underwear, swimwear, spandex, body confidence, and the things we’re usually told to keep to ourselves.
Every guest helps another guy feel seen.
So if you’ve ever thought…
“I don’t think anyone wants to hear my story.”
I promise you, someone does.
Because chances are, there’s another guy out there living that exact same story—and he’s been waiting to hear someone else say it first.
If you’ve ever considered coming on the podcast, send me a message. Let’s talk. You don’t have to be extraordinary.
You just have to be yourself.
Because regular guys are exactly what this community needs.
Is smaller better? I tend to fall into this camp, especially in summertime. This is the Glow Tanga from Body Aware. This tanga has a string waistband that is perfect for everyday wear, and if you are in a hot climate, it’s the perfect pair to wear under shorts for maximum breathability.
The color we profiled is lime, but it comes in several colors to suit your wardrobe or favorite color. Check out this and all the glow line. If you use our affiliate link you can save on your next order.
Today is one of my favorite days of the year—National Underwear Day!
If you’ve never heard of it, National Underwear Day began in 2003 when the underwear store Freshpair organized a public celebration in New York City’s Times Square. What started as a fun promotional event quickly became an unofficial holiday for underwear lovers everywhere. Over the years, it’s grown into a day where people celebrate style, confidence, comfort, and the often-overlooked piece of clothing we all wear every day.
For me, though, National Underwear Day has become about something much bigger.
It’s about giving yourself permission to wear what you love.
Whether that’s briefs, bikinis, trunks, boxer briefs, jocks, thongs, panties, singlets, or even nothing more than your favorite pair around the house—you should never feel like you have to apologize for it. Wear the styles that make you feel confident, comfortable, sexy, athletic, supported, or simply like yourself.
One of the biggest things I’ve been talking about lately is moving beyond worrying about what other people think. Too many guys spend years avoiding certain styles because someone once told them they were “too revealing,” “not masculine,” or “not for them.”
Forget all that.
Wear the bright colors.
Wear the prints.
Wear the pouch.
Wear the thong.
Wear the bikini.
Wear the lace.
Wear the compression gear.
Wear whatever makes you smile when you put it on.
Life’s too short to let someone else’s opinion dictate what’s in your underwear drawer.
And if you’re comfortable doing it, celebrate today by sharing your favorite pair online. You never know who might see your post and realize they’re not the only one who loves that style. Every photo, every conversation, and every story helps make it a little easier for the next guy to wear what he loves without feeling judged.
So today, celebrate National Underwear Day the best way possible:
There’s been one brand that you guys have been sending me questions about for a little while now, and I was unable to find any information. But this week I found out some very interesting information about it.
So this year, we noticed some interesting things happening with the brand 2(x)ist . First off, they really shut down their website. And now you have to go to Amazon to buy any of their underwear, which was kind of strange since they’ve been an iconic brand in the industry since the nineteen nineties. I mean, they are probably one of the first gay brands of underwear around that really went mainstream.
It is. I believe they were one the heritage gay mainstream underwear brands, and they were the first of those brands to have a television commercial. So it’s kind of weird and strange that this really big brand has now kind of fallen by the wayside and is slowly disappearing.
So what I found out was that it used to be owned by a corporation, and that corporation sold it to a venture capital fund. And as we know, venture capital funds are ones that go in, leverage debt, and then sell off the parts basically. And this — from what I gather and what I’ve been feeling — is going to be the end of the brand as we know it, if not going out of business.
So if you have a favorite pair, I suggest you hold on to them because I don’t know if they will be making anything new. I haven’t looked at their Amazon shop to see what they’re doing, but one of the sources I had this week mentioned that it was probably being shipped overseas to China to make at lower production quality, lower fabrics, and just lower quality control overall.
So what you’ll be buying is not the product you may know and love. It may be something new. And I believe they may be licensing out the name to use for collaborations and other business dealings.
So I’m very curious what you guys think. I’ve said for the past couple of months that I think we’re going to see a big shakeup in the underwear world. This is like one of the first things — you know, Andrew Christian closed last year, and now we have Do Exist kind of. We don’t know what they’re doing.
So I will not be surprised if they go out of business, but I think there are other brands that really are going to either stop or, you know, go the same way.
So I’m really curious what you guys think. Are there any brands you’re worried about? Any brands that you wish still had the same quality when you first started buying them? Let me know.
I’ve been talking with the organizers behind Thongers Australia, and I have to say, I’m really excited about what they’re putting together. This is going to be the first event of its kind in Australia, giving thong lovers a dedicated weekend to relax, connect, and celebrate with other guys who share the same passion.
For years, if you wanted to attend a thong-focused weekend, you had to make the trip to places like Palm Springs or Fort Lauderdale. Not anymore.
Now, an amazing weekend is coming Down Under.
Set on Queensland’s beautiful coast in February 2027, this boutique event is all about good company, warm weather, and plenty of time in your favorite swimwear. The plans include relaxed pool days, a waterside thong fashion parade, a Saturday night show, and a Sunday drag brunch—all taking place at one hotel, so once you arrive, you can simply enjoy the experience.
The organizers are currently locking in the venue, dates, and full schedule, but they’re already taking Expressions of Interest. If this sounds like your kind of weekend, I highly recommend signing up now. You’ll be the first to receive all the details, get early access to tickets before they’re released to the public, and stay up to date as more announcements are made.
If you’ve ever wanted to experience a weekend surrounded by guys who understand why you love wearing thongs, this is shaping up to be the event you’ve been waiting for.
Head over to the Thongers Australia Weekend website, register your interest, and hopefully I’ll see some of you there in February 2027!
Swim season is about halfway over, and if you are like me, you need something new halfway through the season. I mean, you have to mix it up a bit and always show up in bold and fun swimwear. N2N Bodywear has the new Voltage Xtreme Sport swim brief in three bold colors. They are Neon Pink, Neon Yellow, and Neon Orange. My personal favorite is the Yellow.
These are super fun and will get you noticed! Whether you wear them at the beach, pool party, or lying out. You will turn heads. Go enjoy the rest of your summer in something bold and bright.
We must have regular guys on the podcast, and it’s been a struggle for me over the last couple of months to get people on. But I’m going to give you some reasons to come on the podcast.
The first reason is that it’s a good way to become a part of the bigger community out there. There are so many guys into spandex, Speedos, underwear, and coming on, sharing your story gives guys a little bit of a peek behind who the guy in the pictures is, or comments that you make online. It allows them to get a deeper understanding of who you are and what you love much more easily than a picture can.
The second reason is that I think we need to move offline for our community. Online is a great thing—it allows you to meet people from all over the world who share your interests, and all over the country. But I think the next step is actually getting to the part where we meet up in person, and that is not easy, especially given the distance between us. But small meetups here and there, meeting someone or meeting in a city, or even small groups of travel—I think they’re the way to go. It’s a good way for guys you may have met, or you know you’ve known, to get a little bit deeper into who you are.
It’s just fun to show people there are other guys like them out there. I know we’ve all struggled in the past, and some still do now, that you’re the only one who likes whatever gear you like. No one else is into it—no one else. You know you’ve run across no one. When you’ve had experiences, your partner’s like, “uh, no.” But in all actuality, no matter what you love, there is someone who is into it as much as you are. And sometimes you find out more—it’s good to have those people hear you because you’re not going to see everyone on social media. It’s impossible.
The prime example of that is when Jason and Griff came on the show. I had never met or heard of Griff, yet we had so many connections. So that goes to show you that it’s a big world out there, and you will miss people on social media not because you’re not willing, but because the algorithm and you know—just circumstances—never have you lining up together.
I hope you will consider coming on one of our podcasts to have some really amazing conversations and share your journey and your story. Or, if you want to have a conversation about something in the world of gear, that would be amazing. So just let me know, DM me, and let’s talk.
The CellBlock 13 Liquid Night Trunk Jock is made for guys who want to blur the line between athletic gear and fetish fashion. Taking inspiration from the Liquid Night Collection, it combines the dark shine of black chrome with an edgy, masculine look that demands attention. As the light hits the sleek pleather-look fabric, the finish appears to flow across the body, giving it a liquid-like effect that’s impossible to ignore.
I love it when a brand takes a familiar style and pushes it in a bold new direction. At first glance, the front delivers the coverage of a modern trunk with a roomy contour pouch that enhances your natural shape. Turn around, though, and this design transforms into a daring jock-inspired silhouette. The open back and supportive side panels create a look that’s equal parts athletic gear, clubwear, and fetish fashion.
The smooth stretch blend moves comfortably with your body while the soft felt interior keeps it wearable for extended sessions, whether you’re hitting a gear night, leather event, private party, or simply enjoying the confidence that comes from wearing something designed to be seen. It’s a piece that celebrates body confidence, masculine energy, and the thrill of stepping outside the ordinary.
CellBlock 13 finishes the look with premium details, including a centered rubber logo on the waistband, raised felt branding, a contrasting stripe across the pouch, and durable double-stitched construction throughout. Every detail reinforces the structured, high-end feel of this striking design.
If your underwear drawer is filled with basics, the Liquid Night Trunk Jock isn’t for you. But for guys who appreciate bold gear, fetish-inspired fashion, and underwear that turns heads the moment the pants come off, this is exactly the kind of statement piece UNB loves to feature.
Looking for something a little fun and cheeky? The new Gloss Neon bikinis from GX3 will make you smile. These bikinis feature a zipper that runs from the back to the front. Comes in several neon colors, these undies are made for fun. Check out all the colors and amazing pairs from this incredible Japanese company.
The Xdress Men’s Lace Brazilian Panty in Red proves that confidence and style can go hand in hand. Featuring soft floral lace, a flattering Brazilian cut, and a vibrant red color, this design brings a modern twist to classic lingerie. The contoured pouch provides comfortable support, while the semi-sheer lace offers just the right amount of visual appeal. Whether you’re looking to add something bold to your underwear drawer or simply want to try a different style, this pair is a fun reminder that great underwear is all about wearing what makes you feel your best.
One of the biggest questions we hear from listeners is:
“When do I tell someone I’m into underwear?”
Whether your passion is briefs, bikinis, thongs, jocks, lingerie, spandex, or another fetish, talking about it with a partner can feel intimidating. Should you bring it up on the first date? Wait until you’re in a relationship? What if you’ve been together for years and have never said anything?
This week, UNB Tim sits down with clinical sexologist and sex therapist Dr. Ty to answer those questions and many more.
Together they explore how to communicate openly about kinks, why honesty builds stronger relationships, and why shame has no place in healthy sexuality.
This conversation isn’t just about underwear—it’s about authenticity, communication, and finding partners who accept you for who you really are.
In This Episode
Why the timing of sharing your kink depends on how important it is to your sexuality
The difference between a casual interest, a fetish, and a primary kink
Why honesty early in dating can actually save relationships

How couples discover new turn-ons through curiosity and communication
Why underwear is often much less “extreme” than people imagine
Breaking down shame around kinks and sexual interests

Why you don’t owe everyone an explanation of your sexuality
Finding community if you feel like you’re the only one
Key Takeaways
Honest communication builds healthier relationships.
Your partner can’t support something they don’t know about.
Curiosity is healthier than shame.
Not every partner will share your kink—and that’s okay.
Being authentic helps you find people who truly accept you.
There is no “right” kink as long as it’s safe, consensual, and legal.
You are far from alone.

Who’s ready to spice up your underwear drawer? The Body Aware Glow jock is one of those pairs that you want to put on and show the world your undies for the day. This jock brief looks like a bikini from the front but a jock in the back. The green color is one I LOVE. Check out the entire collection.
N2N Bodywear is killing it lately with the bold neon colors. I bought the Rebel shorts and the throwback to the 80s is amazing. Now, they have released a line of underwear in the same bold colors. One I had to profile is the South Beach Jock, If you are a jock fan or just a fan of bold colors, this jock is for you. Comes in two colos and would be perfect for an underwear night or under mesh shorts.
Candyman just dropped a new collection and it’s at the UNB Store. Candyman is known for their unique take on men’s underwear, not afraid to embrace the feminine side of underwear. The new collection is less lace but more bold bright colors. It’s a fun collection and I think many of you will love the thongs. Check out the collection.
