Nukleus Underwear

If you know me, you know that I love trying new brands and styles of underwear. I am pretty open minded and will always try something at least once. When I found out that I was getting a pair of Nukleus briefs to review (furnished by Underwear Concept) I was ecstatic. Nukleus is one of the companies that are not out to make a quick buck or get famous from producing undies. They pride themselves on one simple though. “To create everyday solutions for amazing people – our customers.” When I read this on their website, I though, WOW here is a company that really gets their customers. On top of having a great branding strategy (sorry the marketing major got the best of me their) they also create undies “Using innovative and sustainable production methods. we make underwear and basics from eco-friendly materials such as organic cotton, Lenzing Tencel and organic bamboo.” Which I find very awesome! Undies for the betterment of the planet, sign me up!

I had the opportunity to review the Nukleus Nicobar Minis R brief, in a size medium. These undies look amazing and are super comfortable. The green color scheme is very earthy and I think is a great representation of their brand. These undies are made from 95% organic bamboo and 5% spandex. If you have never worn anything made with bamboo fiber you are missing out. This fabric is amazing. It is very light weight but durable and the spandex makes it very stretchy so these undies move with you all day. The construction is very traditional when it comes to a brief. The legs are not cut to high and the pouch is very roomy with and they have plenty of coverage around the back. I wear a 32 inch waist and the mediums fit perfect.

I really like the waistband as well.  It is a two-tone elastic logo waistband with a very soft feel to the inside. I love wearing these for just about any occasion. I have worn them to work as well as to the gym and have never had any issue with them. The bamboo offers a nice organic anti-microbial element which makes these a great pair of gym undies.

PROS:

·       Great Company with great values

·       The fabric is amazing and encourage everyone to research and try organic bamboo

·       Comfortable waistband and construction that moves with you all day.

CONS:

·       I love the color but wish their was a little more excitement to it. They are pretty plain.

RATEINGS:

·       Daily Fit – 10

·       Sizing – 10

·       Construction/Materials – 10

·       Styling – 8

·       Daily Performance – 9

·       OVERALL – 9.4

This pair was furnished for review by Nukleus. These come in an assortment of green colors and can be found through the Underwear Concept store  for $6.99.

Nukleus-Underwear-01

This week while I am at magic we are bringing you 9 brands we think you should know and Nukleus is the first. These brands, some of you may have heard of but others may not. A few we have mentioned on the blog but never gone into much detail. So we hope you enjoy this segment and maybe find a new brand to try.

Nukleus is a brand I am familiar with only because BikiniboiATL on Twitter has posted pics in the line and loves them. Other than that I am not very familiar with them. Who is Nukleus? They are a brand out of Penang, Malaysia. They make both environmentally but socially responsible products. How do that do this? “Using innovative and sustainable production methods, we make innerwear and basics from eco-friendly materials such as organic cotton, Lenzing Tencel and organic bamboo.”

Nukleus-Underwear-02

This is really great an underwear company is not only in the business to make great underwear. They want give back to the environment and people who supply their raw materials. But how does this transform into great undies? Well they have a few collections right now including the Rebirth Collection (feat. Earth, Tree and See series), Fruit Series (feat. Blueberry, Honeydew, Mangosteen, Watermelon, The Quintet (Metal, Plant, Water, Fireand Earth series).

  • The Rebirth Collection – The Rebirth Collection is for the man who never goes out of style. Classic and time-honoured, this collection is designed for the eternal Nukleus man: age defying and unaffected by mortal limitations.
  • The Fruit Series – Enjoy the fruits that are grown near you. They’re fresher, tastier, better. That’s because they’re closer to you in space and time. Which in turn means less environmental impact. Local fruits: good for you, good for Earth. Just like Nukleus.
  • The Quintet – In The Quintet, Nukleus takes an unconventional look at this critical issue. Covering five facets of our planet, the collection alludes to Asian stories about how we can restore balance or prevent the unbalance from worsening. All in all, these stories offer grounds for hope and optimism – that it isn’t too late to act, that we can still make a difference.

 

Each of these is fashionable and good for the environment. Where can you find the brand? Well it is available on Ebay (where BikiniboiATL gets his). Which is the easiest way to get them in the US. Search Ebay but you can go to the Nukleus website to find out more about each line.
