Welcome to a new feature here at UNB! We have teamed up with some of your favorite brands to give you an insight into their creative process. If you have ever asked “How did they create that line” or “what was the inspiration?” Well these posts will hopefully answer those questions! Today we have Jason Scarlatti, the Vice President of Design at 2(X)ist tells us about how they created the  Pro Collection:

The creative direction for the PRO collection by 2(X)IST started by completely reversing our design process. 2(X)IST is known first for its superb fit and contoured pouches, coupled with quality fabrics and high fashion design details. Over the past few seasons, we were completely focused on creating a dynamic waistband design. This season, we tried something new and focused on streamlining the design of the overall garment instead, and in turn, we minimized the waistband completely by covering it and moving it to the interior of the garment.

Our core focus was all about fit, fabric and simplicity, which is what we’ve achieved with the PRO brief and PRO trunk that were engineered in design to be sleek and ergonomic. The collection’s design helped to focus on the fabric itself – a micro-fiber nylon and spandex blend that wick’s away sweat and keeps you cool and dry. The fabric also provides a superior hold to color, allowing us to design the collection in an array of colors and prints. My favorite is the neon color – it is completely bold and dynamic but simple at the same time.  I also love having the waistband on the inside, in pop-colors that complement the exterior.

I loved designing the collection but when I actually received the wear test samples, I really fell in love. It felt like nothing else we had created in the past.  It feels cool, smooth and light weight.  You will see an evolution of the PRO collection in the coming seasons with some really extraordinary colors and prints – so stay tuned.  In the meantime, you can purchase the PRO collection at www.2xist.com   and I hope you enjoy wearing it as much as we did creating it.

First off I would like to say hi, I’m Bryce and I have a bubble butt. As the proud owner of a bubble butt I have learned that not many underwear brands think about guys with butts.

Having a bubble butt can be an amazing thing. It makes your pants look good, and helps hold your pants up so you don’t have to have a belt. It can get you attention from guys. You also have cushion if you are clumsy like I am.

Underwear looks amazing on a bubble butt but after awhile it can look less than great. This is my one big complaint to underwear brands. For guys with bubble butts some underwear just stretches out. It becomes uncomfortable and starts to ride up.

My biggest recommendation for underwear brands is to make it with fabric that is more flexible. Briefs can be especially bad since there is not extra fabric on the legs. I have found some brands make the leg holes with strong enough elastic that it won’t stretch out.

Some great brands I have found so far include 2xist, Andrew Christian, Express and Clever.

With 2xist I haven’t ever found a style I don’t love with them. One of my favorite styles is the Sports Collection they released a couple years ago. The fabric is soft and has plenty of stretch for a bubble butt. They don’t stretch out or get baggy feeling after hours of wear. The 2xist Plaid line from 2 years ago was also a great style. It was less sporty feeling and just a nice cotton material. Would stretch perfectly and continue to look great on by the end of the day.

Express actually makes some great underwear. I wouldn’t recommend it for people with bigger bulges because they don’t make big pouches. The material is simple but does stretch well. I mainly have sport trunks and boxer briefs which make it easier to fit a butt. I did recently purchase some Express briefs and really like them. The elastic around the leg is perfect and stays tight after a day of movement.

I have one pair of Clever. While the pair doesn’t have the stretch others do I still love them. I think one of the main reasons I love them is how they hug my butt. The pair fit perfectly and clings to the butt like you see in all the underwear ads.

What are some favorite brands of other guys with bubble butts? We want to hear from you guys which brands fit the best for a bubble butt!

sliq-trunkOur Underwear of the Week this week is one that made people take notice. That pair is the 2(X)ist Sliq Mesh Trunk. It’s not often we hear of a pair released and everyone is talking about it. But the Sliq line did that and I had friends who aren’t into underwear talking about the line.

You maybe asking why is this? I think this was a few reasons:

  • Colors –  2(X)ist used bright colors that make underwear fun
  • Material –  It’s a sports mesh made out of 91% Nylon / 9% Spandex. This gives it plenty of stretch and the mesh is not a super transparent mesh. This is good for those who don’t want to show everything off.
  • Cut – it’s a trunk that has  shorter legs and ultra Low Rise design
  • Pouch – Its form and function with the X-treme contour pouch that gives you great support
  • Fun Factor –  they are just fun! Which is what underwear should be every day. You can show your personality with the colors you buy!

Available in the 6 colors (only 5 shown, black is missing) for $28 from the 2(X)ist website. (contains an affiliate link for 2(X)ist)

Omtex jockstraps are phenomenal and if you don’t have one already, this is a great chance to get one to “try” out. We’re sure you’ll be hooked! If you already have one, get yourself another for when the first is in the wash.

hero-12(X)ist has released a collection that has taken UNB by storm, that collection is the Sliq Mesh Collection. I got to see this at Magic in February and knew it would be a hit, but I didn’t remember  how great this line looks. 2(X)ist has really outdone themselves on the Sliq Mesh line. When I go to Magic there is a chance things will change from the samples to the public release. These to me didn’t POP  in person like they do in the pics or at least I don’t remember them being this BRIGHT.  These look AMAZING. Everyone here is clamoring to get a pair of these to review. Which I hope we will have very soon!

The new Sliq Mesh comes in a Brief, Trunk, Jock and Tank. All but the Tank come in Black, White, Purple, Fiery Red and Orangeade. Where as the tank is just black and white. Made out of (X)-Pel Wicking Mesh: 2(X)IST’s performance-enhanced stretch blend (91% Nylon / 9% Spandex).

sliq-trunkSliq Trunk – “A wicking mesh Trunk with square-cut legs and an ultra-low rise to create a proportionate shape, plus an (X)-treme Contoured Pouch for maximum support, fit, and comfort” – $28.00

sliq-jockSliq Jock – “An ultra low-rising Jock Strap—engineered in perforated, wicking mesh—with a unique Y-shaped strap base that extends around the backside for ultimate support” – $24.00
