New Ergowear Limited Edition Stripes

No Comments

EW0454_White_1Ergowear is a favorite of some of our guys on the site. I am included in that group. Egowear has a really great pouch. Not just for guys with a big package but for all guys. They designed several pouch designs that will fit a guy, the way underwear should be made! I get off my pouch soapbox now.

The newest edition in the Erogwear line are stripes. This is a limited edition collection of stripes. While not a huge collection it is something different from the line. They haven’t done too many stripes in the past. Actually I don’t recall when they did stripes. I’m not saying they haven’t but I can’t remember when they last had them. They have done some fun prints in previous collections though.

The new stripes are available in the X3D line. The styles are a thong, bikini and trunk. In colors black and white. Like I said it’s not a huge update. I really love these stripes. What is the X3D pouch design? It’s a “nose-shaped pouch has been designed with a lift effect, slightly pushing your genitals up and away for added movement and comfort.”

Another bonus of the X3D collection is it’s made out of Microfiber. The fabric is a super soft Microfiber fabric 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex. This fabric is a moisture-wicking fabric. Making it perfect for the hot summer or an active guy. All the pairs I have had of the X3D, the fabric has always been amazing. It’s soft and feels great against the skin.

If you have never experienced Ergowear now is the time to try. I don’t think you will be disappointed in the brand at all.

Review – Junk Underwear Raw Street Runner-Aqua

No Comments

RSH_PP_6 (854x1280)

Junk UnderJeans furnished the Raw Street Runner for review

Rating: 9.3/10

  • Daily Fit: 9/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 9.5/10
  • Styling: 9.5/10
  • Daily Performance: 9.5

Pros: Bold colors, fun pattern, nice material, well built.

Cons: Legs are a little long in length.

UNB pleep recommendations: These are a fun pair of tights, work great at the gym

This was actually the second item I have ever worn from Junk UnderJeans. The first being the Stellar Jock, and these tights are just as well made as the jockstrap.

I have worn these at the gym several times, they hold up quite nicely while working out. The fabric they use is very soft as well as breathable. I don’t feel like I am being suffocated in a heat wave while wearing and working out. Which, some tights I have worn before by other companies prefer to use just spandex and not have sections of it with breathable fabric. This allows you can workout in them for long periods of time.

They have three color choices; Aqua, Green and Pink. I have the Aqua ones. Which as you can see means they are a mid-grey and a dark grey overall color but the accent color is Aqua. Which, I find to be quite nice and sexy.

The sizing to me is spot on for the waist and thighs, however, I found the legs to be a bit long. The Large is exactly what you expect a Large pair of tights to be in the waist and thighs. If you normally wear larges I recommend you snagging up that size. According to their website their sizing charts states that a Large for them is a 32-34″ Waist.

PAIR: Raw Street Runner
COLORS: Aqua, Green and Pink

Fetish Friday – Fetish 101 Getting Started

No Comments

Facebook Post

If you’re new to underwear and want to branch out and try a few new things. Where do you go? What should you get? Should you dive right in or get your feet wet first. It all depends on what the fetishwear is about. We divided it up into Spandex, Lingerie, Leather/harness, latex/rubber, Mesh and the list goes on from there. BTW you guys mentioned mesh in our survey results.

Let’s talk about the fetish types that is easier to get. This doesn’t mean can you order them but rather the cost. Some pairs of fetishwear can be a few hundred dollars for a pair. The three of the easiest are spandex, mesh and Lingerie.

SPANDEX

Spandex is a very wide variety of gear. It ranges from swim briefs, runners, bike shorts, bib shorts and singlets. To go farther are full body suits and more. But for the time being lets stick to the first few. You can go one of two ways. You can do the off the shelf athletic gear. It consists of brands like Nike, UnderArmour and the like. You can buy it at any sporting good store or online. The other way to go is the erotic side of spandex. What makes it erotic? The cuts used that accent the pouch and other areas. Mesh can be used to create see through panels. Lastly, cut outs to expose part of the body. Brands that make this type of spandex gear are N2N Bodywear, Slick It Up and Pistol Pete. I personally love both side of spandex. It was probably my second love after underwear.

MESH

Mesh is something you guys pointed out in the survey. Mesh is pretty diverse in the men’s underwear world. You can get pairs that show off everything or just a hint of skin and naughtiness. Since we started UNB 8 years ago, mesh has really evolved. Where it was just something to wear to get laid. Now you have pairs that are meant to be worn to work our out on the town. New technologies have made mesh a more comfortable fabric. It used to be there wasn’t much give in the fabric and the construction always had a seam down the pouch that rubbed you the wrong way. Mesh has branched out of underwear and now can be found in pants, shorts, shirts/tanks and more. However, the underwear seems to be the favorite of you guys. The companies doing some great mesh are Gregg Homme, Bum Chums, and N2N Bodywear.

Men’s Lingerie

Lingerie is one of the most controversial areas of men’s underwear. We aren’t talking about guys wearing women’s underwear. We are talking about lace and satin underwear designed for men. Many guys out there don’t like it at all, but there are those who can’t get enough of the mixing of masculine and feminine. Some of the pairs do resemble women’s underwear. I have seen some recently that are designed to look like a garter belt. Other time its regular men’s underwear just made out of lace. This is rising in popularity and more and more guys are giving it a try. I have tried lace and I actually don’t mind it. Brands that sell men’s lingerie are MaleBasics, BodyAware, PetitQ, Candyman and Male Power.

Let’s talk about the other two real quick. Leather and Rubber/Latex

LEATHER

Leather is growing in popularity in the general population. It used to be relegated to gay bars. Now it’s becoming for everyone who wants to walk on the wild side. Harnesses have become one of the biggest new accessories in the world of underwear. Most of the affordable pieces are made out of a mix of leather and another material. If you want solid leather its best to have it custom made for you. This is some of the most expensive gear you will buy. If you’re at the point where you are getting custom gear made. You love the gear! And, you want something to last. Over the years I have had several pieces made and they have always held up. Its definitely worth the price. If however you want to find leather pieces “off the shelf.” The best places are Nasty Pig, Mr. S Leather to name a few.

Rubber/Latex

Rubber and Latex is the last. We are including neoprene in this as well. Some may argue it deserve a category of it’s on. We won’t deny that argument, but for the sake of this post it will be included. Off the shelf there aren’t too many brands making rubber. There are plenty making rubber looking fabric. Rubber and latex has to be cared for specifically or it will be ruined. More brands are turning to Neoprene. It’s easier to work with and care for over time. I have talked to friends who are really into this and you can easily rip or tear the garment, while putting it on or taking it off. This is not my area of specialty. I have tried everything we have listed in this post except rubber/latex. If you are interested I would suggest finding someone who owns it and tlak to them. To get your feet wet give some neoprene pieces some try. Many of the new harnesses are being made from the neoprene. The current brands making neoprene are Cellblock 13 and Slick It Up!

This is just a primer for you guys wanting to branch out and walk on the wild side. There are a lot more companies making great gear. It will depend on what you discover you love. Once you find something you like, you’ll be able to find other fun brands. Good luck and have fun!

Review – Junk UnderJeans JunkX Jockstrap

No Comments

productview1-343Junk UnderJeans furnished the Junk X Jockstrap for review

Rating: 8.6/10

  • Daily Fit: 7/10
  • Sizing: 10/10
  • Construction: 10/10
  • Styling: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 7/10

Pros: Great Junk X Pouch, Cool design, fun colors available

Cons: Waistband rolled on me during wear

UNB Tim recommendation: I liked the design of the jock and the pouch made this a good jock. The pair did roll on me I’m not sure if it was the design or just an issue I had. It is a great jock I would recommend.

I have a whole series of Junk X to review. I have already posted the Junk X Brief review. I was looking forward to the jock. productview2-343The first is because of the pouch. The second reason is I really enjoyed the brief. One thing that has impressed me with Junk UnderJeans is the quality. They make very well made underwear.

The design of the jock is a bit different than I am used too. It has the straps attached right above the pouch. Rather than on the side, like other jocks. When I slid on the pair on it took me a minute to get it situated. After it was in place, I liked the fit. The pouch of the Junk X line is a really good pouch. It’s a bit bigger than the traditional pouches Junk UnderJeans makes. It fit pretty well through out the day.

I wore this pair to work one day. I felt that a job where I had to be on the go would be perfect for a jock. I wore it and it held up pretty well. I haven’t worn many jocks to my job. After wearing this one it’s making me double think that decision. The only thing that happened with the jock was the waistband kept rolling. Pleep didn’t have this problem with his jock from Junk UnderJeans. I don’t know if its the way I am built or what was going on. I didn’t notice it till later in the day. It wasn’t uncomfortable, sometimes when waistbands roll they get twisted and uncomfortable. This didn’t bother me at all.

The sizing with Junk UnderJeans is pretty spot on. They have standard sizes. The X-Large I received fit pretty well. I don’t think you will have many sizing issues on Junk UnderJeans. Just follow the sizing guide and you should have no issues.

Review – N2N Bodywear B65 Daredevil Review

No Comments

n2n Bodywear DaredevilN2N Bodywear furnished the  B65 Daredevil for review

Pros:

  • Affordable
  • Seamless anatomical pouch
  • Ample side string

Cons:

  • Material easily scuffs
  • Not for every occasion

Ratings:

Overall – 8.8/10

  • Fit –9/10
  • Sizing – 10/10
  • Construction – 8/10
  • Styling – 9/10
  • Performance – 8/10

Undies Rock Recommendations: The B65 Daredevil is a risqué cut pair of swimmers. That is a total hit for more intimate occasions. So if you are in in search for the perfect string bikini. Then post up and add these swimmers to your shopping list, now!

Undiesrock rock here coming at you with another N2N review for a saucier pair of swimmers. The (B65) Daredevil; the name captures it all.  This daring pair isn’t remotely for the conservative of heart. Let me tell you if you are looking for some straight up sexy swimmers then look no further.

For those of you who have been following N2N for years. You know that the daredevil cut has existed for quite some time.  It’s essentially N2N’s version of a string bikini swimmer.  I know I have been praising this generations of N2N’s gear quality to the max with my previous reviews. This pair is the top of the mountain. I personally purchased the last three generations of the daredevil cut. This latest release is exactly what I have always wanted for a string bikini briefs!  They nailed everything from the seamless, roomy, comfy pouch to the sufficient amount of string bikini for the sides. To the secure fit (tight but not to the point where the side strings dig into your hips). One of my biggest pet peeves with string bikinis is that there isn’t ever enough string on the hips. Typically for string bikinis the photo(s) of the model wearing the product differs drastically from what you get in real life. Usually you only get an inch or so of “string”. Long story short, the Daredevil has serious string bikini game.

I received my Daredevil in the color Ice Blue in size medium. I have mentioned before, the construction of this pair is rock solid.  The 83% nylon and 17% spandex material provides the right amount of give and support. It has sort of a metallic look to it.  N2N’s pouches are always impeccable and this string bikini is no exception.  It has a sufficient amount of room and has an anatomical vibe. Which I found to have more of a narrow fit, but who cares, because this bikini has a seamless front! Which is all that matters ;-).  The entire bikini is unlined. Which I really dig, though it can be a transparent when wet. So just be cautious if you don’t want your junk all the way out there.  Though this feature was a huge hit with my s/o.

I have a 33” waist, and I reviewed a medium which is sized for a 30”-34” waist. The fit definitely hit the spot in all the right places.  In previous versions I have owned. I found that the butt was a little too high rise and just in general had an awkward loose fit in the pouch.  This pair resolved all of those issues.  The pair I own is in Ice Blue. It has a contrasting black trim and muted metallic sheen, which I find to be a nice aesthetic touch.  You can also get this pair in White and Goldenrod, which also have the black trim.  If you’re into prints. Then you’re in luck because N2N offers the B70 Daredevil Prints which have a tropical/Hawaiian flower vibe. That come in Havana Red and Malibu Blue.

The only downside to this pair is minor scuffing on the material after just one wash.  I simply wore the pair to the beach under my shorts (these seriously double as underwear perfectly). After I machined washed on light and hung them out to air-dry. I found that there were little scuffs markings. Which I washed with other swimmers that were come out perfectly fine.  It’s only noticeable when the pair is right in your face, so it doesn’t look tacky.  I recommend hand washing them only since they are delicate.

Right now these are going for $26 directly on the N2N website. Which really isn’t a bad price, considering that a good pair can cost you upwards of $100 these days.  Also please keep in mind that if you’re into prints the B70 Daredevil Prints are $28.  The B65 Daredevil is a risqué cut pair of swimmers that is a total hit for more intimate occasions. So if you are in in search for the perfect string bikini. then post up and add these swimmers to your shopping list, now!

Curbwear Releases the Enhance X Brief

No Comments

CURBWEAR-ENHANCING-X-FITHow many out there love a great pouch in a pair of briefs? I know we have plenty of readers where it is one of, if not, the most important factors in choosing underwear. It also, happens to be at the very top of my list. One that gives you plenty of room and great support. More brands are really focusing on this feature. It’s gone from erotic pairs that show off the bulge to more ergonomical designs.

“Following on from the Enhance Double Lift range, UK mens underwear brand has released Enhance X for guys who like to rise in lo-rise. Tobi, back for his second shoot and with an unshaved chest, models the lo-rise brief designed to enhance for a fuller, rounder fit without any ‘small & pointy’ pouch appearance.” is the description from Curbwear. 

The pair is definitely a bikini cut. It has a solid body with a different color trim on each pair. The pouch has been updated to make it more rounder and dare I say natural. Some pouches, as they point out, can be pointy. The colors offered are Black/White, Grey/Black, Navy/Red and White/Blue. Made out of 93% Cotton and 7% Elastane fabric. Which will fill super comfy and fit you very well.

One thing that many of you may rejoice over is the tag. Let’s face it a bad tag can ruin a great pair of underwear. They have created a tear off label. Yes, you want have to break out the scissors or struggle to get the tag off. It will easily tear off and leave you with a comfy fit. This Genius! Good job Curbwear.

I think overall Curbwear did an amazing job on this pair. They are building on an already great line. I say good job Curbwear, keep up the great work!

BRAND: Curbwear
LINE: Enhance X

Review – N2N Bodywear Indy Racer Brief

Review N2N Bodywear Indy Racer BriefN2N Bodywear furnished the Indy Racer Brief for Review

Rating: 9/10

  • Daily Fit: 9/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 9/10
  • Styling: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros: Great for summer wear, soft fabric and Xtreme pouch

Cons: Some may not like the loose fit, Not the N-hance pouch

UNB Tim recommendation: This line was made for summer. The amazing fabric and fit are some of the most breathable ever created. The breathability reminded me of the Air line. If you like a looser breathable fit this is for you!

We have had a ton of reviews from N2N Bodywear. We are so thankful they have graced us with so many pairs. It’s something from, I think, every collection, they released. One of the new lines is the Indy Racer. It’s available in brief and trunk. I call them more of a bikini and brief. Their trunks are cut more like a brief, well thats my opinion.

When I first saw the Indy Racer line it reminded me of swimwear. I’m not sure if its the cut or stripe that made me think this. Maybe it was the simplicity of the pair. Unlike swimwear the Indy Racer is a line made out of cotton. The exact fabric is 90% cotton / 10% spandex. It’s a looser cut than other pairs in the collection. Where as the Fresh Line was pretty tight, this allowed your to hang more freely.

The pouch in this one is the Xtremen pouch. My favorite is the N-hance pouch from N2N Bodywear. Like I said above, the pouch is a bit looser. Not too loose that things will get out of control. If you’re a fan of something with more support this pair may not be for you. I was surprised how well I liked it for the day.

I wore this pair out in the southern heat. It was the perfect pair to wear. The light fabric and fit made it very breathable. I was really pleasantly surprised. With the hot summers we have had all over, picking the right underwear is an important daily decision. If I was in an office job I think it would have been great but having to drive around and go out in the heat and humidity was the perfect pair.

Sizing for N2N is pretty spot on. I have never had an issue with them. Being an XL I have even work a few of the Larges I have and they still fit great. They stick to the standard US sizing model. I have never heard any issues with guys buying N2N Bodywear.

I really liked this pair and was glad I got a chance to try it out. Over the summer it will be in heavy rotation this summer. I thank N2N for creating the perfect summer pair.

Welton-WB-Adonis2Bringing you guys new brand is one of my favorite things to do. One new brand that reached out to us is Adonis Underwear. It was launched in 2015 by Kyhry Taylor. In February of 2016 the success of the brand made them focus just on the brand. They dropped all other brands they carried at that time.

They say this about the line:

Our founder, Kyhry, believes that “Men should feel just as sexy in their underwear as woman feel in their lingerie”. This is the foundation of our business; it’s what separates us from other underwear brands.”

What do they currently sell? They have a collection of briefs, boxer briefs and jocks on the underwear side. They also make some socks! Which are pretty awesome. They are bright and colorful. Which, I think, all socks should be.

The pairs in the current line are the Naughty Boy Brief, Perfect Fit Trunks, Show it off Jock, Seduction Jock, Perfect Fit Boxers and Royal boxers

  • Naughty Boy Brief – features two sexy slits in the front to show some skin.
  • Perfect Fit Trunks – style features our wide elastic waistband for a body defining fit, and comfortable wearing experience
  • Show it off Jock – When you put these on, your package will fall naturally into the super soft contoured pouch for a body defining fit and comfortable wearing experience

New PetitQ – Go Bold and Go Skimpy

No Comments

PQ160403_Black_1When you think of fun and skimpy underwear, PetitQ definitely comes to mind. Over the years they have played with different fabrics and style. The PetitQ boys aren’t following any rules for underwear. They are designing underwear they think is sexy and fun. Which, come to think of it, is the way underwear should be. The new collection builds on the previous collections. Some similar styles and fabrics work their way in to the new gear. It’s a great evolution of the line.

I have grouped the new collection into Bikinis, Mesh, Jocks, Splash and G-strings. Its a logical way to report on the collection. This is the new collection!

Bikinis

There are four new bikinis that consist of two styles are the Target Bikini and Mercy Bikini. Each comes in two color combinations. The Target bikini is made out of a solid and mesh fabric. The mesh fabric is on the pouch and wraps half way around the back. The fabric of the pair is 90% Nylon 10% Spandex. You will show off a lot more with this pair over the Mercy bikini. PetitQ always does interesting cuts of fabric. Both of these lines are asymmetrical and fun. Colors are Black/Red and White/Blue

The Mercy bikini has a similar cut to the Target bikini except there is less mesh around the back. It ends about 1/4 around the back. The fabric is the same 90% Nylon and 10% spandex as the Target bikini. Just like the Target, the pouch has the see through fabric. The colors are Black/Red and White/Black.

Mesh

PetitQ has a fun play on mesh with the Mesh Stripes collection. In stead of a 100% see through mesh, this fabric has solid stripes. This allows for somethings to be hidden. However, you will still be showing off all you have in these. The Mesh Stripes is avialble in a Kini, G-string, and bikinis. Another new pair in the mesh are the Mesh Chaps. They have a waistband and come down to your knees. You can wear them solo or with a jock or g-string. Definitely a hot pair. The Mesh stripes is made out of 95% nylon and 5% spandex and is only in black. The Chaps are 100% nylon and only in black.

Jocks

PetitQ is giving us their take on the Jock. As expected it’s not your typical jock. It’s more of a jock brief thong. Sort of a three part hybrid. Part brief, part jock and part thong all rolled into one. It may sound like a pretty odd combination, but it really works. The Sail Jock is the same material from the last collection, made out of a 95% Modal and 5% spandex. The Blue Jock is made out of 95% cotton and 5% spandex. Lastly the white is a mesh made out of 100% nylon. These three fabrics gives the three very different and unique looks.

Splash

The Splash collection is a new fabric for styles you already know. They have a blue mesh with a green print trim. The styles are Bikini Rift Splash, Bikini Rivera Splash and the Kini Rivera Splash. Most of the times they made these styles it was with solid fabric. Each style is made out of a 100% nylon mesh material.

G-Strings

We have plenty of fans of g-strings out there. I think the point of a g-string is to have the most minimal coverage. These definitely fit in that category. The pouches on both of these are some of the smallest I have seen in a while. One is solid black while the other is a black mesh. Both styles are made out of 80% Nylon and 20% spandex. It just depends on how much you want to show off.

Bikinis Part 2

The last of the bikinis are the Neon and Bulge Bamboo Bikini. These don’t  really fit in the other categories I created. The Neon Bikini a very brief Bikini with neon trim. It’s a smaller cut bikini. It reminds me of a few of the Japanese companies making underwear. Meaning it’s very low rise and looks to give you minimum coverage in the back. The Neon Bikini is made out of 80% nylon and 20% spandex.

The Bulge Bamboo Bikini is a true bikini. Its a low rise bikini with thin sides. So all our bikini lovers can rejoice. The back has full coverage on the back. Made out of 96% bamboo and 4% spandex, it will fit you like a glove. Bamboo fabric is super soft. This pair is only available in white.

Its not a massive update to PetitQ but it’s a fun update. I think they have done a great job in evolving their collection. I can’t wait to see what they do next!

Review – N2N Bodywear UN4 Stone Wash Cotton Brief

stone wash cotton briefN2N Bodywear furnished the Stone Wash Classic Cotton Brief for review.

Rating: Overall – 9.6

  • Daily Fit – 9
  • Sizing – 10
  • Construction/Materials – 10
  • Styling – 10
  • Daily Performance – 9

PROS

  • Great fabric
  • Sexy but practical/comfortable

CONS

  • Pouch elastic/piping may be a bit tight for some guys
  • Limited colors

Dustin’s Recommendation: The Stone Wash Brief will definitely be in my regular rotation as it held up very well throughout the day with very little adjustments or fuss

For this round I’m reviewing the N2N Stone Wash Classic Cotton Brief.  I love N2N and am a brief guy so I had little doubt these would be great.  The Stone Wash line is only available in blue but is available in every style there is – boxer, brief, bikini, g-string, jock and trunk.  There is a neon version which seems similar although it’s placed in it’s own category.  I was happy with the blue as well as the broken in feel of the fabric.  It’s as if they’ve been washed many times over and are already your favorite, well worn pair.

These were worn on a hot, summer day to work where I was planning on being more active than normal.  The material is 80% cotton and 20% spandex. They definitely hold their shape. But aren’t your typical “wicking” material that I associate with underwear for working out.  I would, however, say these would hold up at the gym, work or lounging around at home.

I wore a medium which fit my 31-32 waist perfectly.  The size chart says 30-34 (American) and that feels like an accurate guide for buying.  No need to go up or down a size as the material does have plenty of stretch.

When I first pulled these briefs on. I immediately loved the soft fabric and once my package was adjusted into the pouch. Things felt great.  The pouch is clearly defined by an elastic piping that goes down the sides and underneath which makes it very clear that everything goes up front and on a bit of display without being obnoxious.  The material creates an ergonomic pouch so you’re able to receive support while still hanging in a natural way.  I will say that while some structure is great.  I might like the piping to be a little more flexible so I didn’t feel the band behind my balls.  It wasn’t difficult to get used to but you were aware that it was there.

This brief only solidifies by love for N2N as I have yet to have a pair that I wouldn’t wear regularly.  The Stone Wash Brief will definitely be in my regular rotation as it held up very well throughout the day with very little adjustments or fuss.  I like sexy undies as much as the next underwear fanatic but I definitely value comfort and these deliver!  Next up might be the bikini or G…

Swimwear Sunday – Alexander Cobb Serengeti

No Comments

newsletter-swimwear_01

Summer is in full swing! They weekends are filled with pool parties and days at the beach. You don’t want to wear the same suite to two parties. Well, some of you don’t like to wear the same suit to different events. One company you should consider is Alexander Cobb! They have a new swimwear collection for this summer!

What’s new in this collection? The SS 2016 features the following:

  • 100% European underwear and swimwear producer. We design, define and deliver
  • Padded support (foam) integrated in the products, with lift-up technology to create better pouch
  • The top material quality from a leading European manufacturer
  • Easy to dry, hold well, the materials consists of ultraviolet protected factor 50+
  • Revolution Energy – a fabric of high compression
  • Xtra Life Lycra – keep its shape over a longer period of time
  • Size range from S to XXL

One of the features is the lift up. It may sound different. They list two advantages to having the padded pouch. The first is it will “increase volume” in the front. Giving you a fuller effect on the pouch. Some guys will need this while some of our readers won’t. The second is that the padding also won’t show off everything when exiting the water. Not all guys like to show it all off. This feature will make sure you look good without showing off too much.

Alexander Cobb features briefs, trunks and swim shorts. The pair we are featuring is the Serengeti Trunk. It’s the red version of the Trunk. The white trim makes this pair pop. If red isn’t your color you can try one of the other styles. We chose the trunk because many out there want something form fitting but want something other than a brief. These I think are pretty sexy but not too small.

Find these and more at the Alexander Cobb site.

BRAND: Alexander Cobb
LINE: Trunks
STYLE: Serengeti 
COLORS: Red
FABRIC: N/A

GET PUMP!ED SALE – 20% OFF ALL PUMP! JOCKS BRIEFS AND SOCKS

Great news for PUMP! fans, not only did we just get a full restock on all our PUMP! jockstraps, briefs and socks but we’ve got them on sale for 20% off until Tuesday, July 19th.

In case you’re just tuning into PUMP! they’re a Canadian underwear designer making some of the most stylish and high quality gear we’ve ever seen (and that’s saying something!) Although there are some solid color offerings, they’re known for their big bold make-a-statement color combinations and of course their iconic PUMP! logo across the waistband. We have the jocks both in the original, mostly cotton pouched fabric and also in the new stunning micro-mesh fabric which gives you built-in air-conditioning and also gives the jock a very modern hi-tech look. All the waistbands and leg straps are made with a super plushed comfort elastic that you’re going to love. Honestly, PUMP! sets the bar so high when it comes to underwear design.

For obvious reasons, we mostly have their jockstraps on offer (currently 16 styles available), but we also have a few micro-mesh briefs and a few matching ankle socks. If you haven’t tried PUMP!, with the sale on, now’s the time to give them a shot and if you’re one of the countless die-hard fans, now’s the time to stock up. Just don’t delay too long, the sale ends on Tuesday at midnight.

REVIEW: N2N Bodywear Tempest Solid Swim Brief

2 Comments

tempst ReviewN2N Bodywear furnished the Tempest Sport Swim Brief for review.

Rating: 9/10

  • Daily Fit: 9/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 9/10
  • Styling: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros: Unlined, Semi-Natural Pouch Hang

Cons: Unlined

SALVATORE Recommendation: Here I am living in Tropical Paradise where most men wear long board shorts or trunks. Granted, shorter swimsuits are in, but I think guys are missing a great opportunity to look great in a swim brief. As you all know, here at UNB, we have put a lot of emphasis on swim briefs. From our swim guides to a series of posts about skimping down this Summer on the beach. We think swim briefs are an awesome alternative to the super long shorts. That take forever to dry when you get out of the water and inhibit greatly one’s ability to move in the water.

Honestly, the most natural way to swim is naked.  But that is currently outlawed in most areas of the good ole US of A. With that said, we also recognize that many men are very uncomfortable bearing all in a swim brief on a beach that mainly covered in board shorts. Coming to Hawaii has been a great experience. I am constantly puzzled by what I see guys and gals wearing on the sands of Waikiki and other hot spots. The men are shorts wearers and ironically, the ladies seem to prefer the Brazilian cut and thong back. Who would have thought???? Let’s stay away from those topics for now and look at a great swim brief that I’d recommend to the guy looking to see if he likes the idea. But might not be ready to strip down.

Let me recommend the N2N Tempest Sport Brief. As something that you can wear underneath your shorts with the idea to strip down, or something that you can wear by itself. This is a great brief for either occasion. Here are few things that I liked about the design.

Pouch: Because N2N does a brilliant job with fabric selection in all of it’s products. Most of their underwear, swimwear, and loungewear meet my definition of a natural pouch. This swim brief did exactly that. With 92% being Polyester and 8% being Spandex. The fabric blend allows for your sacred spaced to have plenty of space. One of things I hate about traditional swim briefs is the bulky lining that seems to bunch up the boys. This swim brief is unlined leaving you with a true underwear intimate feel. I see this as a definite positive in most situations. I also see this as a negative for the circumcised male as the impression is quite impressionable and might not be appropriate for every occasion. You will have to decide. On my honeymoon many moons ago. I remember seeing a very sexy and extremely tanned European man wearing an opaque white skimpy bikini that was unlined at the pool. He was proud and so were all of the women staring at him. I don’t have the body he had and am not sure my wife would appreciate all of the of the attention focused on my junk.

Drawstring: Not every bikini has a drawstring. This brief does. This allows you to freely maneuver in the water without worry that you’ll lose your drawers. However, because the brief is unlined. The impression of the drawstring is visible from time to time making for an odd look on the pouch. Side note—be careful to groom your pubic hair if you are going to wear an unlined swim bikini. A bush impression on the crotch is as bad a drawstring impression on a crotch.

Cut: The cut of the brief is a hybrid between a true bikini and a traditional competitive swimmers suit. This allows you to get an awesome tan without feeling like you are wearing a string bikini. The hybrid cut also maintains a full seat so you don’t feel like you have a wedgie all day. The cut is spectacular and sexy. The seat stays in place and leg bands are very comfortable. N2N nailed this aspect of the brief.

Logo: The very small N2N logo displayed on the rear of the right hip is the perfect size. Not over the top like some of the brands that plaster the logo across the entire butt (N2N does this occasionally). But just right to let the other underwear enthusiasts know that you have style. The branding on this swim brief is subtle and perfect—a special coded simple that speaks to the heart of underwear collector.

Overall, I think this is a stunning visual representation of classy and sexy. The two colors are great—bold enough to turn heads, but not so bold to get gawkers! As always, I love that N2N now offers this brief in multiple prints. I enjoy wearing mine under trunks or out in the open. Get yours and give this well thought out brief a shot at the beach, the pool, or just tanning on the roof.

Earth tones and stripes – Modus Vivendi Wide Line

No Comments

MV-WideLine-Conseptual Pics with Logo (6)

Sand beige and light grey. These are the two dominant colours of the new Wide Line released by Modus Vivendi, part of the brand’s extensive spring-summer 2016 collection. This line comprises masculine underwear designs in three styles, tanktops and a unique multi-shirt! The underwear comes in briefs, boxer-briefs and jockstraps featuring striped and solid, earth tone panels, shiny waistbands and a supreme quality, viscose blend fabric. The tanktops have a Modus Vivendi classic muscle tanktop cut and feature a striped front and a solid colour, t-shaped back. The multi-shirt of this line is a unique, fashion forward creation by Christos Bibitsos of an all weather men’s shirt. It comes with extra pairs of sleeves which you can attach to the neck to transform it from a sleeveless to a short or long sleeve shirt. It’s pretty amazing!

The stunning campaign images of Modus Vivendi’s Wide Line were captured in rural Australia by one of the best Australian photographers, Russell Fleming. Well known for its natural beauty, a location near Brisbane was chosen by the photographer as a backdrop for his session with model Daniel Kairouz. Fleming produced a shoot full of masculinity which ideally suits this line. The fantastic behind the scenes video was filmed and edited by talented Cullum Stege.
