Bryce has another review this time the Pikante Perseus brief from GDD World. See how he liked the pair!
Pikante is another one of those brands that I have always associated with a more daring, sexy look to their underwear. Several of their items that I have seen online seem like they are better suited for a night of fun in the bedroom as opposed to a long day at the office. So when I received my next review pair you can imagine what thought went through my head. I opened up the package and found Pikante’s Mardi Gras Mesh Thong in my hands for my review. This pair of underwear does not have a lot of fabric to it and leave pretty much nothing to the imagination. What was my first thought? How am I going to make it through a work day wearing this? I will be honest and say that I decided to start off small on this one and wore it on a date to dinner.
The thong has an elastic waistband featuring the Pikante logo around it several times. The logo is a fun font including a pepper for the “i” adding a little spice to the name. The material is a nylon and spandex combination which at first touch, feels a little rougher than what you are used to. Apart from the waistband, there is very little material and very little cover up. Prior to my evening out, I slipped the pair on to make sure I could be comfortable to last through dinner. The look of this thong is so sexually intriguing its hard not to feel a little excited wearing it for someone. Underneath the waistband, there is no fabric, leaving the entire pubic area and bottom of the shaft visible. Personal tip: You may want to trim prior to wearing this pair of underwear for added visual appeal. Two straps dive down to create a mesh see thru pouch that holds the remainder of your package. As you can see, everything is visible when you wear this thong so you will leave nothing to the imagination for whoever you choose to see you wearing it. The back of the thong continues the trend of the little to no fabric with the classic “T” look. There is a thin strap coming straight down from the middle of the back of the waistband, resting between the cheeks to form a “T”. There is no other fabric for the back, leaving everything exposed. You would not think this would be a comfortable pair of 
underwear to wear and that it is purely meant for the bedroom but I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable I was in it during my evening out.
I wear a medium and although there is not much fabric to determine whether or not things are truly to size, I did feel the waistband was on the tighter side but I had enough room and comfort in the pouch to offset any discomfort from the tighter waistband. The strap down the back did not pose any discomfort and to me was very unnoticeable.
All in all I was surprised that the underwear was more functional underneath a pair of jeans than anticipated. I definitely feel that this is a pair that you will wear with a purpose as I did. You can’t beat the design. It is so appealing to look at and that is what I love about underwear. Not all underwear is made for your basic everyday wear and that is what this is. I may still try to wear it throughout a work day coming up to see how it holds up. As I mentioned for this review, I wore this pair on a date and had a great time going through dinner knowing what was underneath my clothes. And at the end of the night, I think my date appreciated it too.

Have you guys checked out the new line from Pikante? If not head over to the GDD World site and check out the new Fall/Winter line they just released.
Pikante has released their new Fall/Winter 2014 Collection. Over the last few year Pikante has gone to the wild side! Not saying this is a bad thing. Letting your wild side out is something you have to do every so often! The theme for this year is metallics, mesh and pouch enhancing (well more show off than enhancing).
I really like this collection because it’s super fun. Pikante is not one of those companies to make the same things over and over. They have a few staples but most are new designs, styles and fabrics. My favorite from this collection is the Amadeus Boxer in gray (Main pic above). Just something super sexy to me about it.
I would like to think that this line would be worn all the time and not as a fetish pair. I mean I’d love to see some metallics worn under a suit, khakis or uniform. Make the day better with some super fun underwear! If this is too Tame for you they have pairs that your business will fit in and show off totally, that pair is the Castro Brief. I’m not sure they would be great work pairs but I could see them for a date night.
I just wanted to inform you guys on the new line is out! To check out the line go to GDD World and see every pair in this collection. We will bring you more on specific pairs soon but enjoy some of the lifestyle pics of the brand
This is the Throwback Thursday edition of the Brief Distraction. This features Pikante from 2103. We hope you enjoy a look back at the collection.
Are you a fan of something fun and metallic? The new Go Go Brief (8647) from Pikante is the perfect pair for you. This collection from Pikante is definitely a walk on the wild side. It’s so wild we can’t promote much on Facebook. I know many of our readers will love the collection. I know for a fact we have a few straight readers who will go crazy over some of these pairs!
The Go Go Brief is available in three metallic fabrics; Gold, Silver and Black. Each one has a snap off pouch. Which allows you easy access for those times when you want to have some fun. We know there are some out there who would never wear undies like this but for a whole set of guys this is fun and something exciting.
The back of this pair has a mesh panel at the top. It’s not a super see through mesh and doesn’t cover the entire back. Its only about the top third of the back. Gives you just enough of a peek. It also has similar snaps that you see on the pouch. It’s a lot of fun.
You maybe asking, “Would you wear this pair?” Honestly, I would give it a try. I think we all need to push ourselves and try something new. My biggest concern would be the pouch. Would it hold through the day? The material is a Polyester/Spandex blend so it should hold you in place and feel good.
If you’re up for something fun then definitely check this pair out. If you want something wilder, this new collection has even more you will like! These should be rolling out to retailers as we speak!

This is my second review of Pikante this week. I will say Pikante is becoming one of my favorite underwear companies. The pair I am reviewing is the 9220 Jockbrief. This isn’t so much of a jockbrief as a jock bikini. It’s a smaller cut then usual jock briefs from other brands. I have one other jock brief and a pair of boxer briefs from Pikante. The other jock brief has a great fit and I hoped this one was going to have a simlar fit.
The Pikante 9220 Jock brief is available in four colors. Those are white, red, blue and black. Each pair has a contrasting trim around the waist, legs and back openings. Made out of 94% Cotton, 6% Spandex blend fabric. Which felt good through out the day. The waistband is a smaller waistband that had me worried if it would hold up through out the day.
I wore this pair to work and when I first slid the pair on on it made me feel a bit naughty. I haven’t had too many jock briefs and the opening in the back, didn’t feel odd but felt nice and did I say naughty because everything was hanging out! The waistband issue I mentioned above didn’t cause problems. It held me up as I ran around work and did some errands. I received the red with black trim. I loved the color combination
Sizing in Pikante is pretty well matched to the sizing chart. I received an XL and it fit my 36-waist fine. This is definitely smaller then typical US sizing but if you follow the chart listed on websites you shouldn’t have a problem getting the right fit.
Some things I liked were the smaller size of the brief. It fit me just right and felt great through out the day. Next, I love the color combination with the trim. They could have made it a solid color but added a bit of pop. My suggestion for improvement is minor. The Cotton/Spandex blend felt great but I’d love to see this with a nylon/spandex blend. Some other pairs I have with this blend just fit so well. The nylon/spandex could make it more form fitting.
Pros:
- Color combinations
- The size of the brief
- Great look to the pair
Cons:
- Maybe make out of a Nylon/Spandex blend

- Daily Fit – 8

Pikante furnished this pair for review
We all agree that underwear should be fun. I decided to put that statement to a test. When I got a chance to pick some Pikante I chose the metallic silver Spotlight Anatoimc brief. It is not one that I would normally wear on a daily basis but sometimes we have to step outside the underwear comfort zone and try something new. This is the third pair of Pikante I have tried since loosing my weight.
My first impression was it’s a really cool pair, being all bright and shiny. The material is metallic (Polyester 93%, Spandex 7%.) but didn’t seem like it would stretch like other pairs I have received from Pikante. I was a little worried about the fit. On top of that is it has a zipper in the pouch. Need I go into detail how that can be bad for a guy? I don’t think so. But I always try to have an open mind and I took an extra pair of undies to work just in case this pair didn’t work out.
I wore this pair to work. I didn’t want to do a review that was too intensive because I wasn’t sure how well this pair would hold up. The main concerns were it’s ability to move and breathe. So in the morning I put it on and liked the look of it. The fit surprised me; it didn’t fit as tight as I thought it would. It was snug but not too tight. As I wore it through the day my worries about it not breathing were put to rest. I could barely tell I was wearing a metallic pair. Granted I wouldn’t wear it to the gym or running but for daily wear or a date night you should be fine.
The zipper maybe a concern to most of you guys. I didn’t find it as a bother. The zipper is covered with fabric so it didn’t rub me in the wrong places. You may ask if I used it. For the review I unzipped it a few times during the day. Each time I as super careful zipping up. It worked fine and its not just decorative.
If you are familiar with Pikante and their sizing chart it’s pretty much spot on. I’m a size 36 waist and the XL fit me fine. I believe the XL fits 36-38. If you’re close to a 38 you may have an issue. These aren’t made for bigger guys. Being a former bigger guy it can be frustrating to find great undies in larger sizes. But follow the size guide and you should be fine.
I really liked this pair. Will I wear it weekly, probably not but it will definitely be a fun pair to wear on occasion. The major down fall for this pair is it’s hand watch only. If you wash it in the washer you may find the metallic fabric may not hold up. So put in the washer at your own risk. I would say another great place to wear this would be in a costume if you go to Cons. There could be some super creative things you can do with it. But for my daily wear it made me feel sexy all day, no one knew that I was wearing such a fun pair under my pants.
Pros:
- The Fun Factor is off the charts
- Surprised by how it fit through out the day
- Zipper is functional and not decorative
Cons:
- Wouldn’t recommend for works outs or heavy activities
- Hand wash only
Ratings:
- Daily Fit – 8
- Sizing – 8

Pikante furnished this pair for review. The pair is also available n black
When I first received my pair of Pikane Biologic Piping Briefs in the mail, I wasn’t so sure about what I saw. They appeared way too small for my size, used a strange combination of colors and felt a little bit weird. I hadn’t tried any other pairs by the brand, and heard good things, so I figured I’d give them a whirl. This particular style comes in three colors–I tried the purple/grey combination.
Before writing this review, I wore the pair for a fairly normal day for me. I rode the bus 45 minutes to work, sat in my office working all day long and then wore them as my pajamas for a night’s sleep. Though I didn’t really have an “active day,” I think this pair would hold up really well regardless of what you’re doing, because the material was so lightweight and comfortable.
I have a 29-inch waist and got a size small. I found the pair to be true-to-size, but definitely on the smaller/tighter end of the scale. They’re also fairly stretchy. The sizing is Columbian..
Overall, I really liked the feel of this pair against my skin, which really surprised me. They’re 100% polyester and I almost never go with that. The material was extremely breathable. My heritage leans heavy on the Italian side, so I can sweat profusely on a typical day. I didn’t experience any of that with these. They also fit surprisingly well–not too tight as I had initially thought they would be when I received them. I think the look is what could use the most improvement. Though the purple-gray combination definitely grew on me, I found both the pattern and the waistband to be a bit cheesy.
Though I initially thought that this pair wasn’t for me, after about 24 hours of wear, I was presently surprised–the fit was perfect, the material comfortable and the look fair. They also passed the boyfriend test–I showed them to him at the end of the day and he thought they were great. To sum up:
Pros:
- The fit might run a bit small for some folks, but overall Pikante’s Biologic Piping Briefs are true-to-size
- The material makes this pair a great choice for any type of day–active, average or just lounging around
Cons:
- The waistband for me was a little to cheesy. I’d like to see them remove the pepper that makes the ‘i” little guy that makes the “t” in Pikante. I saw on their website that they offer several styles with different waistbands
- The design / cut was a little too sexy for my personal taste
And here are my ratings:
- Daily Fit — A

Clever furnished this pair for review.
This week, I had the pleasure of reviewing Pikante’s new 9227 Sporty Jockstrap. It’s one of those jockstraps that looks like a brief from the front and most of the side, but then sneaky, you turn around, and there’s a big ol’ opening framing your booty. I am not too familiar with Pikante, I think I probably only have one or two of their pairs, and they are both trunks or boxer briefs. As you might know if you follow my reviews, I am somewhat weary of mesh material in underwear, due to a bad experience with a certain pair along time ago (in summary, I had to return and get the next size up, not once, but twice, before I realized the mesh on that pair just DIDN’T stretch, and wasn’t meant for people with butts), but recently, I have come in contact with happier mesh underwear, and this was no exception. Right when I opened the package and saw the mesh, I pulled at the fabric in both directions to check. So, I opened the package to see what mostly looked like a brief, except for that big opening in the back. The waistband and edges of all of the openings are a black material, with the waistband featuring Pikante’s woven in logo. The entirety of the garment is made up of the white spandex mesh. The briefy jock is also available in sunny yellow with a bright teal trim, black with purple trim, and yellow with black trim (but note that on the yellow pair, the waist band is also yellow, not black).
I got to wear my pair on my New York city weekendcation. I wore it while walking around NYC seeing the sites, buying sewing supplies, and visiting the MET. I did also had a date that night, with a nice guy I’ve seen a few times, (not to get too graphic, but he thought the pair looked really nice as well). I didn’t work out in the pair, so I can’t completely attest to it’s workout-ability, but from wearing it, I can say it stayed in place and (obviously, due to the mesh) breathed very well. I’d imagine this would be a VERY nice workout pair.
The size I got sent was a Large, which fit me wonderfully. Looking at the size chart, the Large is a 32-34 and XL is a 34-36. Depending on the brand, I base my size off of a 35/36, so I would have bought the XL, ESPECIALLY since this was a mesh pair, thinking the mesh wouldn’t stretch nicely. I find the Large to fit very well, and I would say, if you might be near straddling two sizes, order the size smaller, because the mesh is very accommodating.
I wanna start by saying the pair is very comfortable and I like it very much. The small things that I have problems with aren’t big enough that it truly hurts my opinion of this pair. Think of them as things to keep in mind, before you go ahead and order this pair (heehee). Mostly, my issues revolve around the butt straps. They are really wide, and there is elastic trim hemming the edges (both around the thighs, and around the butt-framing edge). This creates a strap with a much sturdier edge than middle, whereas a standard elastic strapped jock would be equal tension across the entire strap. I found that this, mixed with my nice muscular but sizable, demanded some “dressing” when I first put the pair on. However, once the pair was properly on, I found no real need to adjust the straps any more. The next negative might only be towards a specific audience; if you like some support from under your junk in your undies, read on. I like the anatomical pouches and the lift and protrude-type undies, as well as my normal tighter briefs and things, because I like keeping my goodies in their pouch. If a pair of undies doesn’t have enough tension from behind pulling the bottom of the pouch into your perennial region, it allows enough slack that some of your “treasures” might fall out of the “chest”. I found that to adjust for that slack, i’d just discretely grab the straps from the back and pull them up a bit. It wasn’t horrible, but it did happen a couple times.
Having said those two things, I really did like this pair of undies. They were extremely comfortable, with a sexy look to them. As I said previously, this pair has definitely helped me start to overcome my avoidance of the mesh type underwear. I wanna get the black with purple pair for myself as well. Cause I can’t say I am a white underwear guy at heart, but I do know I’ll be wearing this pair a lot in the future (especially to the gym, I wanna try that out).
PROs:
- Very comfortable stretchy mesh.
- Very breathable to wear in warm weather.
- Sexy look (approved by myself as well as an outside eye).
- Cute, non standard color combinations.
CONs:
- very small amount of fuss to get on and dress the back straps properly.
- Not perfectly fitted to keep the goodies in the pouch.
RATINGS:
- Daily Fit: 7
- Sizing: 8
- Construction/Materials: 7

Pikante furnished this pair for review
When the package arrived i was curious of the content. When I opened it I found a nicely decorated flocked envelope with jockstrap marked. I opened to reveal its contents: a Pikante double effect jock strap. When I looked at them they were really a cross between a deconstructed brief and a jock strap more then just a traditional jock.
The seaming additional straps were a bit of a challenge… it took me 2 tries to get them on correctly but when i did i found a very comfortable pouch awaited. I wore them to work and then the gym. They did everything a jock should do, they held me well and moved with me and were comfortable. They will fast become one of the best jocks that I own. All through my work out they held my package and i almost forgot that they were on.
I wear a 35 so i got the XL. they were very true to size. They are true American sizes. So it is EZ to find your size that will be comfortable.
I like the comfort of the pouch and the design is so comfortable i could wear it all day. These are very comfortable with not binding or stretching. It is a basic redesign of a brief and has the exposure of a jock making it fun for the day or going out.
I love fashion and garment design and these are great on both levels. The straps wrap around to the pouch and do not come up in the back. They are held to the waist band by 2 vertical straps at the side. It made this a fun jock that is creative and different. This is 10 times better than the jocks from gym class but just as supportive.
Pros:
- Comfortable
- Creative
- Fun
Cons
- A little confusing to get on the first time
- Could have brighter colors in the line

Pikante furnished this pair for review.
Pikante is one of those companies that always likes to have fun with their undies. In years past have done camo prints, bright colors and metallic. They enjoy creating sexy and fun undies. This year is no different. The new line has something for the guy who likes to make a statement with his underwear!
Here is a highlight of what I saw in Vegas last month. These should be out now at retail stores online and brick & mortar stores. If it’s not out it should be released shortly!

Recently, I have had the pleasure of reviewing Pikante’s Candy Jumbo Brief. The pair which I received is a small, colored in a light red color with black accents and is constructed using a fabric blend of 86% polyester and 14% spandex. The Pikante logo is stiched into the black waistband. This pair has a simple look which I really enjoy as it adds a certain simplicity to the brief. The front pouch is covered with a see through mesh material different to the other material used to construct the pair. Personally, I am not a huge mesh guy, but if you are interested in showing off once in awhile, this pair should certainly fit the bill.
The day in which I reviewed this brief was very busy. From classes in the morning to an hour run in the evening, I was able to put this pair of underwear through many tests and I must say that it performed very well. The polyester/spandex material used to make the rear panel feels amazing against my skin. It did tend to ride up very slightly, but I never really noticed it. This brief performed well too during my workout. Everything up front was held up and supported as I expected, but I will say that near the end of the run, my package was beginning to moderately chafe which I would attribute to the mesh fabric of the pouch. Along with this, while this brief is very comfortable, it’s not the best choice to wear under shorts while running for a long period of time. That is the cold air mixed with the exposed front pouch.
Pikante terms this underwear as a brief but after wearing it, I would term it more as a string bikini. With completely revealing sides and limited seat coverage, it reminded me much more of the string bikinis I have seen in the past. This is by no means a complaint, but more a general comment of my experience.
This was my first time wearing a Pikante product and while I very much enjoyed wearing this brief (bikini), I don’t anticipate wearing it on a frequent basis due to its revealing nature.
Pros:
- Fantastic fabric blend in the rear
- Strong waistband
- High leg cut
Cons:
- Not best for winter wear
- Exposing front pouch
- Front fabric chafes during extended physical activity

When I opened my latest review pair the other day, I was excited to see this hot number (horrible pun intended) by PiKante. Their 8364 boxer is an eye-catching micro mesh of a 93% Polyester/ 7% Spandex mix that is available in a light blue color with yellow contrast stitching and logo waistband. While I am a fan of logo waistband, the PiKante logo could probably use a little editing as it contains but a chili pepper as the “i” and an underwear-clad male form as the “t” – but that’s just my two cents.
On the day I wore the boxer I found myself doing errands and going to the grocery store. As they day wore on I found that it felt like the leg had rode up a tad and felt somewhat bunched at my thighs. Much to my surprise when I changed that evening the boxers were not actually bunched at all, I’ll admit it, I have meaty thighs and I believe in my case that the leg openings were a little too snug and that after a full day of errands, I really started to notice it. With that said, there was no chaffing or the like, it was just mildly uncomfortable; however, as comfort is paramount for me in my underwear, that did lead to my fit/daily wear ratings below.
I do however, have to compliment PiKante on the micro mesh that was chosen for the boxer. While it is partly shear, it is very discrete and does not feel like it is revealing too much or letting any part of your anatomy hangout – at least not anymore than it’s well-designed pouch is suppose to. Additionally, sometimes mesh boxers tend to have a flimsy feel to them and I am happy to report that these have a hardy build that definitely holds its own.
Overall, I really wanted to like these boxers, especially because of the color combo, but the leg fit is an issue for me. I hope that it might have just been this pair because I like the other features and would like to wear these more regularly than I will because of the fit.
Pros:
- Sturdy construction
- “Discrete” mesh
Cons:
- Snug leg openings
Ratings:
- Fit – 3
- Materials – 5
- Construction – 5
- Look – 5
- Daily Wear – 3
- Overall – 4.2
This pair was furnished by PiKante.
