It’s underwear release time! That mean’s its basically Christmas morning for me. I have known what a lot of brands were doing and now I can report on them. This happens two times a year in the spring (March-April) and then fall (August-September). Unlike most companies N2N Bodywear just releases one time a year in the spring so that makes this one extra fun for me.
I had the opportunity to sit down with Andrew, the owner of N2N Bodywear, in Vegas to talk about the new line. I didn’t get as much time as I had hoped with them. This year they showed in Magic rather than a suite. There was less time for me to get worked in, but they are one of my favorite brands and I was glad for the time I got. After the show I got to see the line sheets of the entire collection. So I was excited to see some of the swim and active wear. The underwear has a few new lines but not as many as the swim line!
This is a brief overview of the new collection. This is by no means everything that is new but some of the highlights. We will go into them in more detail on a pair by pair basis.
Underwear:
California Dreaming – New for 2014. Is a collection who’s colors are inspired by California Available in a jock, bikini, brief, trunk and tank. Colors are red, pink, green and purple.
Classic Cotton – New for 2014. Have you ever wanted a simple pair of N2N Bodywear? The Classic Cotton is their basic collection. If you ever wanted the great N2N fit in a more classic style this if for you! Available in jock, g, bikini, pouch brief, pouch boxer, boxter, and long john. Colors available are Sunny Yellow, Crimson, Black and White.
Signature Collection – This is one of my favorite collections N2N has created. It has one of the most comfortable trunks ever made. This years collection is made out of a black/blue, white/blue or grey/blue combination. This line still has the same styles.
Swimwear:
Laguna – For some reason I have really gotten into prints. In previous years I have stayed away from them, but something about this year is making me gravitate to them. The Laguna line of swim is a bright blue/purple print of palm tress, its’ super cool. It’s available in bikini, trunk and jammer.
Prime BOLD Sport – Have you ever stayed away from N2N swimwear because you didn’t want to show off too big a bulge? I know it sound crazy since this what N2N is known for, but some want a more conservative cut. The Bold Sport has the traditional cut of N2N swim without a defined pouch. Colors available are BOLD in Neon Orange, Neon Green and Navy. Styles are Sport Brief and Trunk
Daredevil – If you want to go to the other end of the spectrum from the Bold Sport, then the Daredevil is for you. The Daredevil is the skimpiest pair of swim they make. It’s a string bikini in bright and vibrant colors. The colors are Fuchsia, Yellow, Purple and Neon Orange.
This is just an overview of the new collection, there is a lot more to see! Head over to the N2N Bodywear site.
It’s spring and time to wear some colorful undies! The new collection from Mundo Unico is out! These are a part of the collection, we will bring you more on it soon!
So let me flashback about two months to properly tell this story. It was during a cold winter day when I texted @UNBTim to talk site matters when we began talking about other underwear topics. I then told him something which may have surprised him: I had never worn a male thong. I had looked at many and considered it, but just could never bite the bullet or pull the trigger or any other description you prefer to use. I wasn’t happy that I never tried one as I felt I may be missing out on something as a guy that appreciates all things quality underwear. Tim wanted this to change so at the time he made a commitment to eventually send me a quality thong to properly break me in. Excited to hear this, I thanked him and awaited its arrival.
Flash forward to last week and the thong finally arrived in my mailbox. Once I returned to my apartment I surged to my room and began to put it on. I was excited to see how it felt. What would fabric between my cheeks feel like? Would it be too tight? Just right? Many questions were about to be answered. First impressions weren’t too bad. The pair is a Clever Mesh Silver Thong sized small. It is very sleek, but not to the point of being simply a stripper banana hammock. It is modern and I appreciate its look. I began to move about in these undies to see its functionality. Would I like walking around with fabric riding along my butt? I found that while I didn’t hate it, I wasn’t an overwhelming fan. It was a tad too constrictive for my liking. As I wore the pair throughout the day it did begin to loosen a bit, but it still was not to my optimal liking. It was almost as if the thong was changing my posture. Now this actually wasn’t a bad thing, but it was certainly unexpected.
I continued to explore how this thong felt as I made my trek to class. Full disclosure: Walking in a thong is a dream, but you feel naked while doing it, even if you’re wearing jeans. I’m sure many know this, but I certainly didn’t. Granted no one can see through my clothes, but I felt it in my mind. Sitting in class wasn’t too bad in terms of it riding up my butt as I feared. To a point it did, but it was certainly tolerable and once class was finished I was able to re-adjust myself and continue my day. Next stop? The gym! It was back day. I started with cardio, pedaling away on the stationary bike. Here I wasn’t necessarily fond of having a thong around my waist since it was riding up a storm. Would it perform better throughout the rest of the workout? Well, this answer is twofold. While it did give me great range of motion throughout activities, it just rode up my butt way too much. Therefore, I don’t think thongs are great gym underwear.
All in all, this wasn’t an awful experience. Thongs are different to say the least, though not necessarily in a bad way.. For tasks where you need to be on your feet moving or sitting idly in a desk chair, I think this style will suit me well going forward. You will not catch me in the gym with a thong underneath my shorts ever again though. There is simply too much discomfort for my tastes but at least I know this now. Loving underwear is all about experiences, whether good, bad, or a mix of both. This one falls in the third category, but I still will wear this thong again and maybe even another goi
MalePower has a pretty loyal following amongst underwear lovers. They are known for their fetish wear, mesh materials and revealing cuts! The perfect example of this is the Fetish line that has a leather like material with barely there pouches and sometimes no pouch at all! They are all about having a guy feel and look sexy! I have tried a few pairs and the zipper trunk I reviewed a few years ago was well made and felt great!
I hear some of you saying that you don’t want to wear mesh or fetish wear. MalePower is not all about barely there underwear. About two years ago they released the Bamboo collection. The Bamboo is a more conservative line with traditional cuts (briefs, trunks and t shirts). It has been a best seller for them.
MalePower is making another collection that goes with the Bamboo styling. That collection is the Heather Rib Collection. Here is what they say about the collection: “Heather Rib is the perfect style for men who prefer to keep things simple and sexy. These shorts, jocks, thongs and bikinis come in basic grey, accented by a black, elastic logo waistband. Made with a polyester rayon fabric, they are smooth, soft and incredibly comfortable. Look sharp and feel great in Male Power’s most basically beautiful underwear”
It could be considered a basic collection from MalePower. It is their most conservative collection to date I think. One reason I say this is because the grey fabric is not something they are known for at all. They are better known for purples, greens and reds. So it’s refreshing to see something like this from them, knowing they can make a classic pair. Not everyone wants to wear a leather like pair to work!
This was just released and should be at retailers soon! We will bring you more about MalePower over the next week!
Today’s Brief Distraction is a Throwback Thursday! This is from Vegas last year and the N2N Bodywear collection. Today the new line is OUT so go check out the N2N site and see whats new!
Here’s what’s hot in the US from Mensunderwearstore.com. Each month we team up with Mensunderwearstore to bring you some underwear you know and some new pairs you may not! Brands this month include CK, 2(X)ist, for those you know and Bread & Boxers for one you don’t!
Private Structure Contour Briefs
Private Structure’s Contour Briefs bring basic comfort together with a sexy, low-rise shape. The focus here is color. If you’re a guy who’s used to neutral basics and want to amp up your style game, these briefs come in 10 colors, including 6 bright shades that are perfect (and just in time) for spring. The briefs are made of a cozy stretch cotton and feature a contour pouch for ultimate shape and support.
Calvin Klein Athletic Trunks
Quick-drying, supportive underwear for the gym make for a great workout. The Calvin Klein Athletic Trunks provide the best moisture-absorbing technology and support level. These trunks stretch to the body, and the nylon fabric won’t bunch or hold in sweat. Whether you’re pushing your body during an intense workout or going on a light jog, you’ll have the perfect level of comfort in these trunks. Plus, they come in seven color variations from basic black to bold red.
Calvin Klein Dual Tone Hip Briefs
Calvin Klein’s Dual Tone collection gives a cool shift to the brand’s classic styles. The underwear are woven in a way
that when they stretch around the body, they reveal an extra layer of color that complements the top layer. Like all other CK styles, the hip briefs feature a supportive pouch, a logo waistband, and a figure-flattering fit that’s unmistakably classic.
Bread & Boxers Briefs
If you’re more of a basic-basics guy, Bread & Boxers, the trending lifestyle brand, produces some of the best basics on the market. B&B’s underwear are made of soft stretch cotton and come in the most comfortable basic fits. These briefs are no-brainers; Sure, they’re not flashy and come in three neutral colors, but these are the kind of comfortable, well-fitting undies you don’t have to think about when you’re getting ready in the mornings. Call them “no-stress underwear.” We call them the new basic must-haves.
2(x)IST Turbo Collection
2(x)IST’s Turbo collection is easily our hottest pick of the month. These microfiber underwear and tank tops come in a stretchy, smooth microfiber and 5 color combinations in an edgy design. All of the styles (the briefs,
trunks and jock straps) hug the body for an extra sexy look and comfortable support. The best part: our entire selection is 25% off Snag a pair while you still can. These undies are going fast.
PUMP Touchdown Trunks
Sporty underwear is right on-trend for spring, and no other brand does this style better than PUMP! These trunks are made of mesh fabric that’s slightly see-through, giving it a hint of sexiness. With a bold logo waistband and bold striped leg openings to give them a rugby vibe, these trunks provide style, contouring and a comfortable fit whether you’re wearing these during a hot and heavy workout or sporting them casually.

aussieBum has just released the new range AusBoy. The AusBoy range is the newest ergonomically designed underwear. First, let me say that usually aB makes really good undies and I have never had an issue with any fit. But, if they are entering this market I welcome it and feel they will hit a home run. Taking the great construction and mixing in the erognomic design how could they not win!
The first thing that catches your eye is the unique panel design. This design is made to fit a guy and how he moves in sports and in every day life. It creates a pouch to give you support without binding or restricting motion. The pictures feature the model playing cricket, but I have found underwear made for sports is great for every day wear.
The next thing that made me take notice is the material. The AusBoy line is made out of modal. Which has become my favorite fabric in underwear. This is for two reasons. Modal is super soft and feels amazing against the skin. Second, modal is very breathable and keeps you cool. Modal has become the material companies are starting to use in underwear on a bigger scale. I hope we will see it become the dominant fabric.
Those of you who have been long time readers know I love a waistband. It’s one of the reasons I buy a pair. The AusBoy has a new aB Waistband. I like it it’s a bold design and available in black/red (Omega) or blue and red (Alpha). This is the only color in the pair. The body of the pairs are white.
AusBoy is available in a brief, hipster (trunk) and L-leg (boxer brief). This is one of the few times I remember aB making a longer legged boxer brief. I vaguely remember one a while back but it’s not a standard style for them. That being said with a pair designed for sports it’s a smart decision to have it in the collection. Many guys prefer this length when wearing underwear for cricket, baseball and such.
It’s always great to see aussiBum’s new pairs. They are not a company that stays in one box and does the same underwear over and over. They are a company that will take risks. The pairs are available now and the pairs cost, Brief $28, Hipster $30 and L-leg $34. All available on the aussieBum site now
We recieved an email with this pic from C-IN2! This is C-IN2’s new model Chris Delbeck wearing a Zen brief; shot by Rick Day. Rick Day has been doing the last few shoots for them. We hope you enjoy the pic!
Modus Vivendi is one of those companies that really has their own vision and sticks to it! This time they have released Dreamland. A collection that will be released in 7 parts from now till the end of summer. This is the first in the series!
The tag line of the campaign is “When dreams become reality.” You will see the models blending into the background in the lifestyle images they have released. The picture above is set in the Wild West, which is a bit of a departure from the Greek heritage, but they still keep their unique take on undies!
Find this and more on their site. Here is their write up for the collection:
Let the self you dream of become reality with Modus Vivendi’s new campaign, Dreamland. Igniting images of men, idols and heroes that fascinate and excite, Dreamland presents some of the world’s most coveted male characters, and invites you to become one of them. Be what you dream.
The campaign starts with the Wild West which features the all new, denim inspired Denim Look briefs, boxers and jocks. They all feature a sexy lace up front with PVC fabric panels, metal eyelets and cords ending in metal aglets with each item having a different mixture of design details that make it really special.

You either love or hate animal prints. I have sort of a love hate relationship myself. Some of the prints are amazing while others are a miss. If you fall into the second part of that we may have an animal print you may love. Papi just released the new Wild Thing collection. It’s available in a jock and trunk. The jock is what we are going to be covering.
The Wild Thing collection is a solid fabric with a cheetah print in the same color. So the print is very slight and not over the top. It adds a bit of style to what would be a solid color. I think they did a great job coming up with this collection. This is because it will allow more guys to step outside their solid underwear box and try something a little more wild!
The jock is a traditional jock. The waistband is a grey 1 1/4 inch branded with the Papi logo in the center. Legs straps really can make or break a jock, this pair has a 3/4 inch leg straps that match their other jocks in their line up. Lastly is the material, it is made out of a 63% Nylon / 32% Polyester / 5% Spandex fabric.
Colors are key to this pair and they have just released four bright fun colors. Those colors are Black, Intensity (Red), Purple and Storm Blue. My favorite is the Black. When you think of a black pair you’re expecting solid dark black. This is more of a grey with the cheetah print.
Papi really created something out of the ordinary with this pair. Hats off to the creativity for this one. It goes along with our philosophic that underwear should be fun and add to your wardrobe. This one would do that and would be great under jeans or even under a suit.
As we stated it’s available in a Brazilian Trunk as well. The jock retails for $28.00 on the Papi site.

Underwear should be fun! PPU has done some great undies for the new collection. The 1412 Brief has a bright pink waistband with a cut out below the waistband and pouch. Also the trim around the legs and pouch are a matching pink! It’s super fun!
Do you remember our video review of this pair? It was BANNED from YouTube, we were told it violated community standards! Now wouldn’t you want a pair so hot you can’t wear it on YouTube? If so then check out the Just /b/ Trunk. It’s available for today for just $12. Check out all the other sales on the specials page on the Baskit Site!
Days of the week underwear is something you think of when you’re younger. It’s a cute way to get When you get older you don’t need a reason to change underwear. We have readers who change their underwear 2-3 times a year. I remember one reader who wore a pair in the morning, then changed at the gym, and then changed after the gym into another pair.
Vizeau has released a new collection called “Days of the Week.” Which is the most conservative style I have seen from the brand! Usually their pairs super skimpy and those who dare to bare and almost show off everything. The new collection is a series of boxer briefs with the days of the week on the waistband. Each one is sold separately, so you can buy your favorite day or get a few!
I Love that that each day has a different color and waistband. It’s not so cookie cutter. Most of our readers want unique and fun underwear, so a brand that makes it all the same is not one you guys would be interested in. Its just enough difference to make the pairs stand out. Each boxer brief/trunk is the same cut but a different main color. On top of that is a tailor made waistband with the name embroidered in to the fabric.
Just by the picture it looks as if each pair does have a defined pouch. So, they took some time to include their style into the pair and not make them so plain. The accent around the pouch also will set off and accent your pouch.
If you have wanted to try Vizeau and didn’t want to go for something wild now is the time to check them out! Also, if you’re a fan of the brand and want to have something you can wear to the gym, they just may have something for you now! Find this and more at the Vizeau site.
Model turned Underwear Designer Todd Sanfield has released is new collection. As always he does amazing pictures for his line. He’s never been one who could be labeled shy! We hope you enjoy this pic and will check out his collection.
What is sexier than mesh undies? Not a whole lot in my opinion. You can get the pairs that leave little to the imagination or those who give a hint of whats underneath. The Clever 5190 Calipso Mesh Latin Brief is the later! It will show enough of whats underneath but not give everything away!
The first thing you notice about the pair is it comes in a light green. Which in itself is not a color you see typically in mesh undies. However if you want a more traditional color it is available in black. But, if your’e like me you prefer something different and fun in your undies and would definitely go with the green.
As you notice on the pictures the green pair has a grey waistband with Clever written in the same green. While the black is solid black, including waistband with Clever written in blue. The black does appear to be a bit more see through. So keep that in mind when making a selection.
The two pairs are made out of a nylon/spandex stretch mesh. So it will conform to your body and keep things well in place. This also means it will feel great against your skin. I prefer a fabric with a higher spandex percentage. This pair has 25% spandex in the fabric composition.
Other factors that make this a good pair are the low rise style and pouch. The pair has low rise design that is great wearing under jeans. Meaning the waistband won’t show over the top. There are some readers who will not like this and love to show off their undies. The second is the way the fabric is cut it creates a contour pouch. So it will give you great support through out the day.
If you’re up for some really fun mesh underwear we suggest you give the Clever 5190 Calipso Mesh Latin Brief. It is part of the Spring 2014 Collection from Clever and should be at stores now!
We want to know if you are a fan of mens thongs? I have talked to all kinds of guys, gay/straight/bi and we have a population of guys who love it and those who hate them. It’s not just one type of guy. I have talked to many straight guys who love them. In fact our very own Brandon says every guy should try a thong! Whereas, we have gay guys who would never be caught dead in them! The picture features Gregg Homme Torrid thong. It’s been one of their best sellers!
So Vote below and tell us what you think of mens thongs!
You think it would go hand in hand with undies, but for me it’s been a recent thing I have added to my underwear love. Socks have come into their own in the last year or so. The world of socks has EXPLODED. When you used to go to the department store to find just black, brown, maybe grey and white. All pretty basic and rarely did you find something fun.
Flash forward to 2014 and Frank Dandy has released a whole line of Bamboo Socks. I got the chance to try them and to be honest I wasn’t expecting too much. I mean, it just seemed to me that “they were just socks.” I”m a simple guy and usually wear white ankle socks or longer athletic sock. This will change after trying these.
First thing is the bamboo fabric just felt amazing. Better than any cotton or nylon sock I have tried before. They were comfortable and breathed like no other sock I have had before. It felt like I wasn’t wearing socks at all.
The next thing that I loved was the color. I realized that I can now wear them to match my shirt or even undies. Usually when I wear a suit I try to match the underwear with my tie. I know some of you are going, why bother but others our there get it. I don’t always do it but I try too! Now throw in socks you can add a whole new level of matching. I wore the red ones with my blue high top Chuck Taylors. Which really set the shoes off.
Socks are moving to the forefront of men’s fashion. Frank Dandy just has solids but other markers are doing patterns, polka dots or stripes in super fun colors. So you can show more personality with your socks in a way you can’t do with underwear. I say this because very few people see your underwear but more can and will see your socks. It’s Super fun.
Let us know who your favorite sock maker is. Also if you need great socks go check out the amazing Frank Dandy. I have 4 pairs and love them!

Double good news: Not only did Jockstrap Central just release a 15% off discount code Wonder valid for the next 5 days but they’ve also launched brand new Jack Adams Jockstraps.
Apprently, everyone’s been asking to see more of their latest model Tristian, so Jockstrap Central thinks him in the new Jack Adams Mesh Wonder jocks will do the trick!
Appropriately named, the Wonder Jock has it all from a totally roomy sheer mesh pouch up front to the ultra thick butt lifting leg straps in the back. As a bonus, If you like things up your bum, then the extra center strap is going to be right up your er… alley.
So, back to the front: If you’re like our model Tristian, big in every sense of the word, then you’re going to love the extra room. A generous pouch, a four-way stretch fabric and a contoured design spells comfort with a capital C. Of course we all knows how big guys like to show off and the totally see-through sheer fabric will do just that.
Spin around and you’ll find full one and half inch comfort elastic leg straps. They not only look great but provide an extra bit of butt-lifting goodness. A single centered g-string not only adds a little extra support but whole lot of thrill.
Finally, a one and half inch comfort elastic waistband with a single centered Jack Adams logo completes this awesome jockstrap.
As for the discount code, simply use the code “WONDER” (without the quotes) on the shopping cart page at Jockstrap Central between now and Sunday, April 6, 2014 and you’ll get 15% off your entire order.

Enjoy this Throwback Thursday featuring the 2(X)ist Speed collection. We thought you guys may like some retro pics from previous years! enjoy guys
Are you a fan of the aussieBum Wonder Jock line? If you’re not familar the Wonder Jock (WJ) line, it did to men’s underwear what the Wonder Bra did for women’s undies. The WJ takes what you have and enhances it. To do this the it has a pouch to put your goods in and the WJ does the rest! See the pictures below to see how this is made into the brief and hipster.
aussieBum has now created a jock brief and jock boxer brief. Each style has the traditional cuts of the brief and trunk, but the back is cut out. I believe this if one of the first jock briefs they have done. One thing I really love about this collection is the green color. It’s by an far my favorite color and very few undies companies make green underwear. The official names of colors offered are: lagoon Forest, Chocolate, Burgundy and deep purple. Also made with the signature aB logo wasitband.
If you’re interested in these pairs the brief retails for $21 and the trunk/hipster is $24. You can find these and more at the aussieBum website.
Underwear Nation does some AMAZING pictures. This is from the selection from March! It features the Supawear jock. The new selection will be out this shortly. Also, Jerrad the photographer, was the cover of DNA Magazine with a 10 page spread this month!
